No no, you've misunderstood me, and I take full responsibility for that.

It's called satire and sometimes it doesn't travel well.

I'm gonna hazard a guess that you are a native english speaker but you're not from Great Britain.

Too polite to be American, so I'll say Canadian.

Our approaches to humour are too different, so I'll try a different tact, as I dont want to be poutine you down about it. So lets start fresh, and Maple we can find a way to converse without all the hockey pokey.

My goodness u/SOULJAR, I think we can both agree that's a fine looking sandwich, however I'm almost positive that it was made by British hands, Scottish if I have to pick a part of GB, with undoubtedly British ingredients. I'm sure that if OP had a larder stacked full of authentic italian ingredients, the sandwiches coming out of their kitchen would be simply divine. It's a shame that the lackluster ingredients we have here in the UK are unable to give such a recipe as this, the justice it deserves.

Gotta say I disagree. Looks like a British made sandwich.

But I'm happy to go through why I think that:

  1. Bread looks like the overly crusty bread rolls we find in our supermarkets. The sandwiches I've enjoyed in Italy have all had much softer lighter bread.
  2. Meat looks quite light in colour, again very typical of the deli meat that is popular in the UK. I recall the italian cured meats to have a much deeper colour (flavour is better too).
  3. Basil leaves look like the ones I'd get in the UK, smaller leaves, just a potent in flavour... but much smaller than the Italians have served to me.
  4. Tomatoes look pretty good actually, but all the sliced toms I have had from Italy have been much bigger, we call them beef tomatoes here.
  5. Window in the background looks exactly like a typical british PVC Double Glazed window.

I'm almost certain that OP is in Britain, and I'll take a stab at Sainsbury's as the ingredient source.
