As this image included all of the manliest things in the world in one place (cars, bacon, and DIY) it garnered quite a lot of interest, and ended up with quite a few comments and "likes". One of those comments asked me for advice on eating sandwiches in the car, and I am planning to give a few tips on this topic, based on my experiences of eating in the car, now.
Tip one. Choose carefully:
Choose a filling which is conducive to being consumed in the car. Remember that you will only be able to hold this sandwich with one hand, so it is important that your filling isn't just going to fall out as soon as you take it out of the packet. Mayonnaise, or some similar condiment typical in sandwiches, is good, as it acts as an adhesive, to keep your filling where it ought to be. (But too much will drip, and cause a terrible mess - so be careful when making your selection!)
Despite featuring in the picture that triggered this whole thing, tomatoes are not always a good choice, because the centres are wont to go everywhere, unless you catch the whole thing at once.
Any filling that comes in lots of little bits is not usually a good idea. So, choose cheese slices over grated cheese, as it will be much easier to control with just one hand.
Tip two. Eat inwards:
Most shop-bought (or petrol station-bought) sandwiches come in the form of large triangles. Like this -
With the corners gone, eat from the top of the sandwich in towards the point at the base, where you are holding it.
Tip three. Eat quickly:
Dawdling over your sandwich will not help. Take large bites, and get rid of it quickly. Don't fret too much about table manners - you're in the car.
I hope that has helped all you car-eaters out there! If not, fire me your questions in the comments, and I'll see if I can help.
