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.

Hm, I've searched for it on Google(tm) and I'm none the wiser. Is it filthy?

Is this
another one of those "let's get off-topic as quickly as possible" threads
P.S. I misread it as "hawkings" sandwich,
and was thinking of Stephen Hawking...

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
