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

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.

Now Gen Z are waging war on our sandwiches!

Popular bread manufacturer Allinson's launched its Great British Sandwich Study to lift the lids on the nation's lunchboxes and reveal their changing tastes for the beloved snack.

Avocado in a sandwich is pointless. It has no flavour and just goes all brown and mushy.
But why is it woke to eat European cheese. I guess everything that isn't British is woke? The Nigel farage sandwich of choice would be...erm. nobody cares?

😂 I think it just means slightly more sophisticated. Anything fancier than a meat paste sandwich is probably 'woke'.

Fag ash on slightly stale wonder bread. Crusts off.

Lard on mothers pride white sliced is the only un-woke option.

Only if it's on cheap white bread, artisan seeded rolls would probably class as too woke 😁

Woke is standing up for the oppressed in society.

So, no.

Sandwiches cut in triangles are "woke". Sandwiches cut into rectangles are not woke.
