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."
