The UK’s favourite food brand Heinz have carried out a survey in order to look at the sandwich eating habits of the British public.

What they discovered is that UK residents will eat roughly 18,304 sandwiches, spending £48,339 on them in their lifetime. Meanwhile, 56% eat at least one a day, with a third of these people choosing the same filling each and every time.
But the result that we’re all here for is, of course, the UK’s favourite sandwich. Turns out BLT was the country’s favourite. I probably could’ve predicted that myself, but hey ho – at least we have confirmation.
It also found that the favourite bread in which to have the BLT is white with crusts on, cut diagonally in half. Just like mum used to make. A spokesperson for Heinz Seriously Good Mayo said:
These findings show Brits are very particular when it comes to their sandwiches – without a doubt it’s still our go-to option for lunch.
The fact that it’s so quick to make, cheap and you can pretty much have any filling you fancy makes it an obvious choice for school children, workers, busy mums and anyone on the go.
In case you’re interested, the second favourite is chicken mayo, the third bacon, the fourth ham & cheese and the fifth cheese & pickle. So basically the UK has a pretty bland/predictable palate – but then again, who can argue with a bacon butty? The absolute British staple.
