to ask if a sandwich filling can be "woke"?

😁

"woke people"
"normal people"

😂
Define normal. Please.
In the case of the DM I think it's people who are in pinnies with rollers in their hair, with some Vera Lynn playing on the wireless.
They lose their tiny minds thinking of anything other than fish paste sandwiches or spam.
Anyway, chicken's woke. Apparently. Hand in your "normal" badge on your way out please and slink off to the "wokies."

woke is not use properly
avo grow in other countrys

This is the maddest thing I've ever read on MN and I've been here 12 years. Woke people like different sandwiches to normal people? 🤣🤣🤣

This made me laugh. Look around the world, there are so many different types of sandwiches with many different fillings! I’m partial to a cheese and pickle, but I’ll also make something Italian with pesto and cheese in, does that make me woke?

Time to bring back fish paste and potted meat sandwiches!

Note, that's two seperate sandwich fillings. The two together may be woke, I'm not sure, though I'm confident it would be if they were in sourdough together.

Sorry, but you're incorrect.

Chicken is woke according to the article.

Meh, lots of trad sandwiches are a bit cancery for me - ham, corned beef, fish paste etc. highly processed.

Some of the trad sandwiches were probably fancy pants in their time, I bet old people in the 70s condemned adding cress to egg, tuna mayo etc

It's not so much that the fillings themselves are "woke" it's more that woke people want different fillings to normal people. It's a fashion thing, the same as how the woke dress and talk differently. It's pretty easy to compile a list of sandwiches that the woke wouldn't touch with a bargepole eg

• cheese
• ham
• ham and cheese
• ham and mustard
• chicken and bacon
• chicken and stuffing
• chicken, stuffing and bacon
• corned beef
• all day breakfast
• egg and bacon

A 'woke' sandwich

Presumably it's a member of Extinction Rebellion and gives money to BLM. Glues itself to planes and stuff. Has they/them pronouns. Goes to therapy. Wears Lucy & Yak.

I'm eating chicken sambos for donkeys years and I'm very old, it's lovely with stuffing and mayo or lettuce and coleslaw. And don't forget the chicken fillet roll, every shop, hot counter sells them 🐥🥪

Given how horrific the poultry industry is, even compared to other meat production, I'd say that if you had to rank sandwich fillings by "wokeness" then chicken would be pretty near the bottom.

Every ageing generation looks at the one before it and complains about how society is going to shit with the classic "in my day...". At least with that you had to offer some sort of explanation for comparison. Now woke has been co-opted instead for every change in society people don't like to the point it's lost all meaning and and using it tells people nothing about what your actual issue is. To be fair, most of the people who would be inclined to use it for something like this probably couldn't actually articulate their issue if they tried.

I'll say one thing for the Daily Mail, they know their audience and they do a bang up job of catering to them.

"the alphabet mafia were trying to put gay sex in their sandwiches. Or something."

Wait a minute... Aren't we?! Who doesn't love a bit of sausage in their bun?

Chicken sandwiches are woke??!! 😂😂😂😂

I'd only consider it a 'woke' sandwich if it had a label saying 'no white people are allowed to colonise/eat this sandwich' and top surgery scars scrawled across it in ketchup.

Chicken can't be woke?!!

When I read the title I thought yeah, bbq jackfruit and alfalfa sprout sandwiches would, in my opinion, be intended to appeal to the blue haired vegan non binaries.

😆

Load of balls. I remember buying similar sandwiches when I started working in the 1990s. It's not being 'woke' - it's realising that working life is boring and finding little ways to jazz your days up.

God, I loved it when M&S did that LGBT sandwich - classic bit of rainbow washing marketing strategy, yet everyone who reads the Daily Mail totally missed that and thought the alphabet mafia were trying to put gay sex in their sandwiches. Or something.
Surprised they had time to write this, shouldn't they be concentrating on the 'war on free speech' (which looks an awful lot like 'people are telling me im horrible when im saying horrible unacceptable things now, and i dont like it, why cant they just be quiet and let me be horrible instead of challenging my twatty views')

What a bizarre article and use of the word wokr! I'd expect a woke sandwich to be vegan, and locally sourced so there was no risk of child labour or envirinmentsl damage.

Avocado is quite a controversial filling if it comes from Mexico.

Fashionable, is what I’d call them. There are fashions in just about everything.

I wonder what the Mail’s stance on turkey sandwiches would be because that’s surely a post-Christmas staple up and down the country for decades?

I would consider chicken salad sandwiches a classic that is surely available in every meal deal shop. Coronation chicken is definitely not a Gen Z filling.

I've been eating these "woke" sandwiches since the 80's.

It's a ridiculous way to frame this "story".
