Me in my 20s: I need to put the world to rights, and I will stay up all night to make this happen!

Me in my 30s: I need to make a sandwich, and I will curl up on the sofa and watch the world burn on the news.

Tell me more about the sandwich

I go to the shop, buy a mini pork pie they have on discount, take it back home and microwave it for 45 seconds. That's my sandwich, and I love it

My dad loves pork pies in a sandwich wrap.
Tortilla, bit of cheese, salad and branston pickle, quarter a pork pie and wrap it up

I have never had a pork pie but I looked it up and so want one now.

I'm not in the UK, but look for a British food place!

they're good in theory, in practice they're a bit disappointing and really greasy

You could do both, being curled up on the sofa with a sandwich and make the world a little better, by reducing your meat consumption. There are very nice vegetarian/vegan sandwich options.

I love vegan food (the ice cream/cake scene alone is amazing), but it's usually not discounted sadly
