In a recent interview, Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch dismissed sandwiches as ‘not real food,’ claiming to prefer steak for lunch. This prompted reactions from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and others, highlighting a divide between their dining choices. Starmer enjoys sandwiches, a staple of British culture, while Badenoch’s remarks have sparked backlash, including from the British Sandwich Association. Nigel Farage also joined the conversation, endorsing the enjoyment of lunch. The debate reflects a larger conversation about political image and authenticity.
