I also explore the national loaf, rationing, food-saving tricks and the ingenuity behind sandwiches such as the chip butty, toast sandwich and mock banana sandwich. From Marmite and Spam to cheese and pickle, I look at how these foods reflected working-class life, scarcity and changing British tastes. Some are clever, some are unexpected, and the wish sandwich is a reminder of how deeply hunger shaped a generation.
