I’ve just eaten the best toasted sandwich in my 60 years of working and travelling the world as a journalist (lived off them, believe me). It was a good old ham/cheese/tomato at New Plymouth’s Kitchen Table café in Brooklands yesterday.

That old cliche “to die for” just doesn’t cut it when it comes to describing the sophisticated qualities – taste, looks, smell, generosity of filling – of that sandwich.

Congrats to Pauline Spragg and her crew there.
