History of The Cheese Sandwich
In 1994, the UK sandwich trade organised National Cheese Sandwich Week (NCSW) to celebrate the 70th birthday of the cheese sandwich. The official mascot for the week was Cheesie, the cheese sandwich, leader of the Sandwich Gang, four fun-loving cartoon sandwich characters created by Peter Brodie who has written many stories about their adventures. As part of the NCSW promotion, sandwich bars across the UK were given posters depicting Cheesie stating: "Seventy years ago, Mr. Gordon Ramstalker of Bristol made the very first cheese sandwich."

Famous quotes containing the words history, cheese and/or sandwich:
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“The result of civilization, at the Sandwich Islands and elsewhere, is found productive to the civilizers, destructive to the civilizees. It is said to be compensation—a very philosophical word; but it appears to be very much on the principle of the old game, “You lose, I win”: good philosophy for the winner.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
