There's something comforting about eating a good old fashioned ham sandwich. Not fancy or over complicated - just thick slices of proper ham, like our Alderton ham, tucked between 2 slices of thick, soft flour dusted bread. Maybe a smear of butter, a touch of mustard if you were feeling adventurous. Its the kind of sandwich that brings back memories of childhood picnics, family outings and the simple pleasure of eating outdoors.
I remember unwrapping a ham sandwich from its paper, the familiar smoky aroma making my mouth water. A flask of warm tea was always close by, poured into plastic cups that were just the right size to warm my cold hands. Best of all these moments were shared - sitting together with Mum and Dad, Nanna and Grandad, enjoying the fresh air and the simple joy of good food.
There's a magic in food memories isn't there? A simple sandwich can take us back to carefree days and time spent with loved ones. That's why we believe in good-fashioned, trusted flavours - the kind that bring comfort, nostalgia and a taste of tradition with every bite.
