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

[OonaStubbs]

I noticed this story in the Mail today Gen Z are ditching traditional sandwich fillings such as ham & mustard or cheddar in favour of "woke" fillings such as chicken, foreign cheeses or avocado. But how can a sandwich filling be "woke"? IMO the word is now used to describe anything that people don't like.

I know right ? Like that's an unusual filling !

Foreign cheese? I love cheese (apart from smoked bleugh).

Seems to a Daily Mail reporter ate a pre-prepared sandwich for the first time in 40 years and can't cope with the change of options.

@TofuTart I did actually google 'what does the daily mail think is woke' to get some examples

They seem to have a whole section! It's a lot of energy to dedicate to something they deride so much!

I've come to the conclusion that anything the Daily Mail thinks is woke is actually pretty decent 😁
Do the Daily Mail like this <insert food stuff/ attitude/etc>
No?
Then we're good to go lol
I think they just throw the word about click bait style to get their demographic of readers wound up.

The only sandwich the Daily Mail approves of must surely be gammon?

I think of a chicken sandwich as 'retro'.

I think of a chicken sandwich as 'retro'

Why?

If a sandwich could be woke then surely it would be vegan and organic? Not chicken or avocado 🙄

I've also found that any company that gets boycotted - Budweiser, Boots etc - is never one that I buy from anyway! Not a stance, just an observation.

I had a chicken sandwich in 1958!

But the only foreign cheese in the shops was Danish Blue.

I think coronation chicken is definitely retro, I always worry about refrigeration with chicken, my mum gave me chicken sandwiches in my lunch box in the '80s.

A sandwich filling cannot be woke the DM can always be relied on to pander to their idiotic readers, who gleefully soak up utter shite like this.

It's nothing short of pathetic.

Whats wrong with a good old ham & pease pudding sandwich, or cheese and cucumber lol

A vegan sandwich with hulled barley and quinoa, that'll be really woke! Chicken sandwich is so meh nothing extraordinary about it.

Some of our local cafes no longer offer avocado for various ethical reasons so they use mashed peas instead. I wouldn’t want to tell the Mail as I’d feel guilty if anyone expired with apoplexy owing to me.

Anything and everything is woke nowadays. Last week vaccinations were woke, now sandwiches are woke as well.

We are living in a world of woke!😱😱😱

'woke' would be anything plant based.

I really want some foreign cheese now!

Dream on.

Is cabbage woke now?

Just asking for a friend whose kids don't eat vegetables?

The DM hates the tofu eating wokerati, don't forget.

None of the gen Zs I know eat sandwiches at all. The ones at work go out and bring back buckets of fried chicken or noodles or heat up something from home in the microwave. My DS either raids the cupboards and takes a big container of rice, beans and veg or if WFH cooks something that uses every utensil we own and most of the ingredients for dinner.

Gen Z Don’t tend to choose sandwiches IME. They prefer wraps with fried chicken in them.

Cabbage is a vegetable. 😂
