Sandwich thread

Now, it may not entice too many Italians or purist foodies, but students will surely love them.

They are all too aware that cold lasagne, just like cold pizza, actually tastes pretty good the next day – and it was this train of thought that inspired Tesco’s chief sandwich scientist, Laura Fagan, to create the ‘lasagn-dwich’.

She said: ‘We think the lasagne sandwich could become the food of choice for anyone wanting a solid snack between meals.

‘The inspiration comes from my own student days and how certain foods could sometimes taste much better the next day – such as pizza, lasagne and even curry!

‘Lasagne sandwiches were a favourite of mine back in student days and were really popular with all my mates at university.

‘It was the type of food that could be made very quickly from lasagne leftovers but could really keep you going between meals or equally prove to be the perfect breakfast food after a long night.’

The £2 sandwich is made up of two thick slices of bread, a filling of diced beef in a tangy tomato and herb sauce layered with cooked pasta sheets and finished with a creamy cheddar, ricotta and mayonnaise dressing.

We wonder what the food boffins at Tesco will come up with next – the cold pizza sandwich? The fish and chips sandwich?
