Fish Finger named Beard Friendly Sandwich 2020
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the humble fish finger sandwich has been named the most Beard Friendly Sandwich of 2020 after a social media poll.
Each year during National Beard Week in June the campaigners search for a sandwich that does not have excessive mayo or salad which tends up in the beard rather than the mouth.
With the rise of designer sandwiches the bread around the sandwich filling, whether a traditional slice, flat bread or ciabatta, often fails to contain the contents which can then spill out into the beard even with the most careful eating.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, last year’s winner, marmite peanut butter came last in 2020. With the fish finger sandwich being voted the most beard friendly and cheese and pickle the runner-up it looks like its back to hirsute basics

It is unfortunate that the only vegan option for a beard friendly sandwich is Marmite Peanut Butter, which sounds pretty awful even to someone who likes both marmite and peanut butter. By the way, is it smooth or crunch peanut butter?
since a twitter poll is limited to 4 choices either. Both versions are decent enough if a little lacking in marmite taste
