04/06/09 - STILTON CROWNED THE KING OF BUTTIES AS WELL AS CHEESE

It was the news that Stilton lovers everywhere already knew but now it’s been made official – Stilton makes the very best British butty!

As reported in the Daily Mirror, the 11th Earl of Sandwich took part in a taste off in London to choose the very best sandwich fillings. The Earl should know a thing or two about perfect panninis and tasty toasties too, as he is the direct descendent of the man who invented the nation’s favourite lunchtime food.

He awarded top spot to Stilton and Grape on brown bread, served with black pepper and a hint of garlic mayo, which was devised by a Kate Ramsden from Cornwall who used to serve it when she ran a pub. Kate we salute your tasty offering!

Tell us what you like best on your sandwich - my favourite is Stilton with turkey and cranberry on wholegrain bread, simply delicious and makes me think of Christmas all year round!
