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."

—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“I tell people all the time, you have to be in love with that pot. You have to put all your love in that pot. If you’re in a hurry, just eat your sandwich and go. Don’t even start cooking, because you can’t do anything well in a hurry. I love food. I love serving people. I love satisfying people.”
