The UK's Superior Sandwich Technology

At 12:32 · chapter starts 11:29

From Nashville, Vittorio's tour moved to New York — where, the day after landing, he had a small but undeniable bowel incident at the 9/11 Memorial. He turned to his girlfriend and said 'I've shit my full pants'. She thought he was commenting on the tragedy. He was not. The story pivots into a joint meditation on how bad American food is, which sparks a genuine love letter to the British meal deal — a £3.50 institution averaging 70 per year per citizen — and the Irish deli counter chicken fillet roll. Chris argues that diagonal sandwich cuts improve taste by 15%, Vittorio agrees it signals care, and both agree Ireland sits at the top of the international sandwich hierarchy.
