Every kid dreams of the day when they can make their own lunchtime sandwiches and fill them with whatever they like.

Crisp sarnies. Marshmellow baps. Chocolate rolls.

As you grow older, however, you start to conform to the idea sandwich fillings are almost exclusively reserved for salads, cheese and meat.

Unless that is, you live in Cardiff.


One Twitter user recently came across a couple of sandwiches being sold that would send even the most sugar-addicted kid into freefall.

@SirSandGoblin tweeted pictures of a liquorice allsorts roll (£1.99 reduced to £0.99) and – even more bizarrely – a chocolate orange and lettuce (no butter) baguette (£2.25).

We wanted to know where exactly these monstrosities were being sold (although we agreed with the ‘no butter’ ruling).

We felt it was in the public interest to track down whoever was abusing Terry’s chocolate orange like this.

But alas, @SirSandGoblin had received sound legal advice preventing him from disclosing his valuable information.

Which somehow detracted everyone from our pressing quest for answers.

But where we failed, Medium succeeded.

The baguettes are being sold at Channings Newsagents, Longross Court as a way of ‘adding a bit of fun to the shelves’.

And these sarnies aren’t the first of their kind that they’ve sold – previously they’ve been known to sell ‘Marmite and jelly beans’ baguettes.
