Those aged 65 and over overwhelmingly state wholemeal is the best (18%), whereas those aged between 25 and 34 named sourdough (10%) number one. Emma Stockman, a spokesperson for Foodhub, said: 'Britain is a nation of sandwich lovers. 'Last year there was no surprise to see bacon named our favourite sandwich filling, however, we were shocked to see cheese toastie has topped the charts this time.

In a closely fought contest, on National Sandwich Day, the cheese toastie has been crowned the nation’s favourite sandwich.
The countrywide study, conducted by online food ordering app Foodhub, chewed over the nation’s sandwich habits and found that the cheese toastie is the new favourite, beating out last year’s number one, the bacon sandwich.
Taking third prize was the simple cheese sandwich – proving we’re a nation of cheesy sarnie lovers.
The result does mean some popular classics missed out on a top slot. The famous sausage, prawn mayo and egg mayo sandwiches all failed to dent the nation’s top three.
