    Someone might pay for that sandwich if the primary function of the establishment is the consumption of alcohol (as it is in a pub) and not the serving of quality meals (as it is in a restaurant).

    In a pub, especially if it’s the type of place where some real serious drinking occurs, the primary function of the a method of filling a stomach and absorbing alcohol and that sandwich would probably fill the brief.

    I’m not saying it looks like a good sandwich, but it’s a practical one. A real sandwich for a real alcoholic. It’s definitely not the type of food you’d expect find in a restaurant. The type of place IS relevant, you chump.

      It isn’t because if you serve me food (not even good, just edible) and you give me that, IDC how shit faced I am, I’m gonna throw it at you. That isn’t food, and the fact that you’re so hellbent on pointing out that it’s a pub just enforces the stereotype that the English don’t know anything about food.

      English food has always been “just have pints until it’s edible”. But even that has its limits.
