cubaTo mark British Sandwich Week recently we rounded up our favourite sandwiches from around the world.

Is a burger a sandwich? There’s meat, bread and vegetables it’s true, but critics are divided. Is it still a sandwich if the meat is hot and the cheese is melted? We think it is, technically, a sandwich and that’s why we’ve included this one from Australia in honour of National Burger Day in the UK (August 27).
