These people need to be asked publicly if they have taken 1 (one) foreign holiday in the past 3 years, thereby waging war on traditional destinations like Cleethorpes or Cornwall.
So they are against “Nanny State”, but want to fight young people’s food choices? Just what exactly do they feel threatened by? Their “British Classics” sounds ultra-processed to me. Would they rather have chlorinated corrie chicken for the young people instead?
You'd think people would have better things to do than get worked up about what other people choose to have in their sandwiches. But it seems this is now the world we live in.
Woke, the African-American English synonym for the General American English word awake, has since the 1930s or earlier been used to refer to awareness of social and political issues affecting African Americans, often in the construction stay woke.
How old must these people be who think these ‘woke’ filling are new and fancy? We’ve been eating them for decades, at least since package deal holidays came in. God forbid we eat pasta and curry too. Some seem to think you aren’t patriotic unless you hanker after a WW2 lifestyle.
Experimenting with cheese on toast this lunchtime... two pieces of lightly toasted oat bread - one with a drizzle of rich hoisin sauce, the other with sweet teriyaki sauce - sprinkled liberally (and wokily)with extra mature cheddar and then grilled! Mmmmmmm!

While rueing the fact that more sunny days may be a distracting and urgency-numbing by-product of the climate crisis... and, during the melt, contemplating options for positive action to raise awareness, I trust?
Yes, of course. I lterally do it in the middle of the M25. Hopefully bringing as much attention to the climate crisis as well as having a tasty snack to eat whilst a Range Rover owner beats the living shit out of me.
Could be an interesting debate on sarny toppings, but I’m all for really thin shavings of Parmesan, atop my Danish bacon, encased in by full throated, flag waving English Warburons Toasty. I’m either getting praised or penalised by either side and I’m here for it
It sounds absurd, of course, but we all know this is a deliberate attempt to set people against one another. I think it's all rather pathetic if I am honest.
Daily Mail writer: "A lard butty was good enough for my Grandad! I don't know, kids today wanting options with flavour or nutritional value... I didn't turn into the beetroot-face gammon I am today with nutrition!"
Now wondering if my rejection of beef dripping sandwiches in the 1980s was woke. Was I woke before woke was a thing? Or is it just that sandwich fillings go in & out of fashion and people don’t always eat the same stuff as their parents? It’s a mystery…
Top notch "journalism" there. Wonder if the "journalist" can look in the mirror and not be overcome by self-loathing... Although the requires a level of self-awareness not usually connected with the "writers" of that rag.
They didn't get the memo that mustard didn't make it to Britain until the Romans imported it, despite having been used from Africa to Syria to China since about 10,000 BCE...

Brits in the Middle Ages drank wine from France and ate spices from the East. No doubt those folks wouldn't be considered English enough now either.

When are we going to get their definition of woke? It's almost as if it's a word to express idiotic outrage at anything they don't like.
I once saw Gary Lineker eating PARMESAN!

The top of the screen said “Processing…”

Above and beyond; stunning!
(Thank you, thank you, here all week)
It's just so... [gestures inarticulately]
Am I fighting with myself?
Does woke to them just mean anything they don't do?
