England’s Coronation chicken, Argentine steak and camembert from France win fans’ vote for ultimate World Cup sandwich


TALK about a game of two halves – this mouth-watering football tournament-inspired sandwich would be a front-runner for the DROOLS Rimet trophy.

The giant sarnie features ingredients from each group of the World Cup, from Ecuadorian pork to French camembert.

Brits were asked to vote on the best national sandwich filling from all eight groups – before it started and teams started getting knocked out – resulting in the eight-inch-tall behemoth.

It also features steak from Argentina, maple bacon from Canada – who are now out of the tournament – and to represent England, a dollop of Coronation chicken.

In Group G, Brazilian bauru – melted cheese and tomato, a popular sandwich filling in the country – topped the list out of the other front-runners ahead of Swiss cheese and zaltibor, a delicacy from Serbia.

All eight ingredients were stuffed between four thick slices of tiger bread, voted by the nation as the best vessel for the gargantuan snack.

The sandwich was created by Warburtons, whose chairman Jonathan Warburton said: “The ultimate football sandwich is certainly drool-worthy.

“It ticks all the boxes to make for a great match-watching occasion and we’re excited to recreate the barm at home to accompany our sofa side support of the footy.”

It comes as research of 2,000 adults found 28 per cent of adults admitted to being self-confessed sandwich lovers, typically scoffing four each week.

Nearly a fifth (19 per cent) have a sandwich for every lunchtime meal, favouring tiger bread to keep everything in place.

The study also found 76 per cent enjoy eating foods from different places around the world.

But 50 per cent describe their usual food preferences as “traditional”, compared to only 14 per cent who’d use the term “eclectic”.

However, 51 per cent are passionate about expanding their food horizons, according to the OnePoll data.

And in the last year, of those who have tried a new cuisine, on average they’ll have tucked into three different types.

Jonathan Warburton added: “We encourage every opportunity to bring friends and family together through a shared love of food and community.

“This year we hope to bring some extra joy sandwiched between the matches.”
