Stupid Sandwiches

Just heard this on the old radio - according to some ridiculous research done at an insanely overfunded University in the UK (Oxford?) what you put on your sandwich can help you get to the top. There were a couple of examples given but the one that stood out for me (!) was that a Toasted Chocolate and Banana sarmie is a cure for a hangover.
Blech!

Choc and banana toasties rule!

Great stuff. Not sure about a hangover cure, mind. I'll stick to Irn Bru for that.

Is this another one of those "let's get off-topic as quickly as possible" threads :wink:

P.S. I misread it as "hawkings" sandwich, :roll: and was thinking of Stephen Hawking... :urff:

I'm with Mrs Snowey - I was thinkiong of Stephen Hawking


But then I went off on my own tangent and then the idea of a hawking sandwich got very very sick

in a metallic, robotic-voice kinda way
