When I was in Scotland I found the pub sandwiches to be pretty dry. Perhaps to get you to drink more beer?

The other big difference was that both the meat and cheese were shredded rather than sliced. Dunno what that's about.

I requested and received mayo on my sandwich, but they must have been concerned about my cholesterol. It was thinly spread.

The atmosphere was a lot more pleasant than your average McDonalds, though.

Like the language, sandwiches have morphed since coming to America.

Tcha. Two world wars and one world cup. That'll do.

I can't say - another time another place. Personally I found the food lovely but the Scots unsuited to any service industry. I'd never dare say though (did I say that out loud?!) Meh - I was there in the summer holidays and all the staff I encountered were approx 15...

I accept that. And the sandwiches may have improved...

All baiting aside, we (the Brits, not just the English) obviously have very different sandwich ideals. When I get my own place you are only welcome for traditional English fare. Then you can't compare it. But I will take you out. Then you can goggle at how old the building is, in true American fashion, while I slip you warm beer and stale pastry.
