Bizarre sounding sandwiches that are completely and undeniably addictive. Take a look at some of our favourites.
The Chocolate Sandwich
No, it’s not the same as spreading Nutella on toast. These sandwiches consist of heaps of shaved chocolate topped with chocolate syrup enfolded in two slices of bread. It’s heaven in a bite.

Paneer Masala Toast
The traditional sandwich gets a desi twist when the makers replace cheese with paneer. It’s soft, crumbly and deliciously decadent.
