轻松英语阅读：英国人对于三明治的热爱

Many people around the world know about the unique aspects of British culture, like drinking tea every afternoon. However, very few people know about the country’s love for sandwiches!

Over one billion sandwiches were bought on the go in England…and that was only last year!

If you walk around in the streets of a big city like London, you will certainly notice the huge amount of shops selling sandwiches on the street. From Starbucks to the grocery shop and even the pharmacy, you will find a huge selection of sandwiches to eat on the go. The choice is very diverse, ranging from traditional favorite combinations (ham and cheese, tomatoes and mozzarella) to more exotic recipes.

So why are sandwiches so popular in the UK? English people love to make the most out of their day, saving time while working or doing their errands. A good sandwich is a cheap, quick and effective way to get all the nourishment you need…and yes, it is tasty too!
