If only they did taste of absolutely nothing. Most of them taste of vomit. Indeed most pre-prepared food in the UK tastes like vomit to me, especially the microwave meals sold in supermarkets. I once asked in a garage if they had any sandwiches without mayonnaise and they looked at me as if I were mad. Still, Belgium and France manage to sell sandwiches in service stations which are actually worse than the ones sold in the UK which is something of an achievement.

For a start Dairylea doesn't lie in the fridge planning to take over the world by night. Whereas Pont L'Eveque has probably mugged a couple of pensioners on the trip back from the supermarket and is now planning to create its evil empire in a Volcano not far off the coast of Japan. I once got asked to leave a French hotel after buying Pont L'Eveque at a market in Brittany. We had the cheese wrapped in three layers of polythene stored in the bath under six inches of cold water weighted down with a housebrick. Other guests were wandering the corridors demanding to know why the drains were broken.

I'm consistantly shocked by the way mayo has replaced other fat based spreads for sandwiches. Even worse though is the inappropriate use of them - for example an egg mayo sandwich which has in its ingredients "low fat spread" has to be wrong. In the same way the a triple cheese with mayo instead of butter is also wrong. -- "Get a paper bag"
