Since coming to England, I have often found myself complaining about how much I hate the sandwiches here. They're always pre-made and soggy, filled with too much mayonnaise (gross) and never enough meat or cheese or whatever you would actually want in a sandwich to make it worth eating. And they're everywhere. Well, to all of you over here who can't understand why I loathe your sandwiches so much, may I please introduce you to the mouth-watering magnificence of Scanwiches, a little site that posts nothing but photos of sandwiches purchased from delicatessens in downtown New York City.

Ladies and gentlemen, those are sandwiches. That single slice of ham with the tablespoon of mayo on moist granary bread you peeled out of a triangular blister-pak today? That was just a mockery.
