The Doctor Who of Junk Food

The Great British Sandwich is a 'collaborative web project' to build the world's tallest sandwich, one ingredient at a time. It began picking up inedible layers early (20th from the bottom is Cat Hair, 38th is an iPhone 3G) and is now almostover 400 layers including the Higgs Boson, Child's Tears and All the Turtles. via the Ridiculant

So it's not really a sandwich, but instead colorful, stacked divs on a web page. QUICK, CALL SOMEONE!

I wonder how long it will take for the internet to explode this sandwich.

Ha! In before the line!

I added metafilter. It tastes like burning.

I'm just above blue_beetle having added 'Rat'. His choice of filling tipped me off to the fact someone had posted it here.

The 'Great British Sandwich' is cheddar and Branston. That is all.

A sandwich is just not a sandwich without the tangy zip of Mary Kate Olsen...

I was tickled to see that James Joyce had contributed a slice of British Arrogance.

I added you. I would have done it sooner, but I got hung up on trying to figure out in which county Summerisle, site of The Wicker Man, would be located. Eventually I decided that Inverness-shire was most likely.

I just put an apparently Northeastern American (USA-ian) food item in The Great British Sandwich. Please don't tell the MeTa thread.

Oh lovely, there's a plate of beans in there in MeFi colors.

Some so-called Great British Sandwich. No wattles & daub? No Jelly Babies? No Jimmy Saville? No dead unjugged rabbitfish? No WAGs? Really, Davros? Ptui!

That is so yummy. On thick slices of bread. ::sigh:: Now I have to go to Tea & Sympathy for supper!

I added Tycho Brae, tough and chewy and only a bit off. We know our "Pieces" in West Lothian.
