However, one man has set himself the task of rediscovering the inventive sandwiches that have been wrongfully – or rightfully – consigned to the past. Here, Barry Enderwick takes us through the sandwiches of history, from a peanut and fried egg delight to the one he never wants to eat (or see) ever again.
