The BBC Is Looking For The Best Sandwich In The World: Can you help? Sandwiches are supposedly easy but, come to think of it,
perfect sandwiches are actually quite difficult to invent and produce. Bread gets wet; lettuce wilts; flavours and textures clash. Personally, I like English
tea sandwiches best; though the
Mediterranean versions are a meal in themselves. But if you had to stake your life and reputation on one fulfilling and tastebud-enticing sandwich, which one would it be? To go.

The Upper Crust Of Bread: What happens when the greatest
bread-maker in
France, Lionel Poilâne, talks to America's
finest baker, Peter Reinhart, and her most fanatical
bread-taster, Edward Behr? I'll tell you what: a scrumptious, crackling and very knowledgeable conversation about the the wonders of the
baguette, the complexities of simple bread and the
deliciousness [
"Forgiveness for mistranslations"] of
the staff of life in general. Last year, for the first time ever, an
American baker beat the French competition to win the "Best Bread in the World" award. Will what recently happened with wine in the New World now happen with
bread? Will the Americans [
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches notwithstanding] begin abandoning industrial, pre-sliced and sweetened white bread, just as Europe increasingly and depressingly
succumbs to it? [
