What is a chopped sandwich?
It’s pretty much what it sounds like! A revolutionary twist on a plain 'ole sandwich, where the filling is created by taking all of your sandwich ingredients and uniformly chopping them into small pieces, which are then mixed together to create a harmonious blend of flavours and textures.
Why the buzz?
You may be wondering why people are obsessed with chopped sandwiches, what’s the appeal? Well, we believe it’s because you get the perfect bite throughout the whole sandwich! With the ingredients chopped into similar-sized pieces, you can ensure the perfect proportions and remarkable ratios, for the ultimate sandwich experience.
The Italian
The most popular type of filling for these sandwiches is the Italian-inspired take. This includes a selection of Italian meats such as pepperoni, salami or ham, along with crunchy and fresh salad such as tomatoes, red onions, and lettuce, then held together with a creamy mayonnaise or tangy dressing.
Although an Italian inspired sandwich is proving most popular, the possibilities are endless, meaning that you’re free to unleash your culinary creativity and experiment with different chopped fillings! Why not try a hunters chicken version, with chicken, bacon, BBQ sauce and cheese? Or perhaps a sizzling fajita chopped sandwich, with some fiery kick!
