The best sandwich? I've got a winner but probably not for your shop.

It's called the Pringa and you get them in Seville in Spain. I had them the once and have been mildly obsessed with them ever since. The recipe is as follow:

• Stew pork belly, whole chorizo and morcilla (Spanish black pudding) in a slow cooker with tomatoes, wine, garlic, herbs etc. until the pork is done.
• Form the pork belly meat into patties and lightly fry them in iberico pork fat until they go a little cripsy and browned.
• Spread one half of a fresh bread roll with the inside of the chorizo and morcilla. Put the fried patty of pork on the other half.
• Eat.

I'm currently in a country which doesn't serve pork. That sandwich and description has just made me very hungry for it.

Make sure you have a really decent homemade coleslaw, not some bought in ste in a 3 litre container.

There's a reason almost every sandwich shop uses 'bought in ste in a 3 litre container'.

There are many, many suggestions here that just won't work. You may have romantic ideas about a sandwich shop that sells artisan sandwiches with the finest, local, organic ingredients, all assembled on the breasts of virgins - but the cash return on this will be low - you'll get loads of waste, poor portion control (ultimately causing shrinkage) and a cash margin lower than filling plain white or wholemeal with bulk bought ingredients.

Was going to 109% agree with this but with one caveat - it depends on the local "market". I have been surprised at how much bearded hipsters will pay for poncey-filling sandwiches when they're trying to impress the office totty... If they have the choice between Tuna&Mayo fir £1.50 or "Line caught dolphin-friendly bluefin tuna with organic mayo on a seeded wholewheat gluten-free bloomer with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil" for £6 guess which ones they go for?

Roast chicken and mayo or chicken and mint.

Simple menu with fewer things, but all done very well.

Here is the menu for one of my favourite sandwich shops, which has lines out of the door every day. Ok that is probably helped by it being owned by a winner of Top Chef who owns one of the best restaurants in the city, but my point still stands.

$75 for a BLT seems a bit steep to me.
