Tory Leader Kemi Badenoch Dismisses Sandwiches as “Not Real Food”
The Spectator recently quizzed Kemi Badenoch, the U.K.’s Conservative Party leader since her election in November, about her lunch habits — and her response raised eyebrows.
“Lunch break? What lunch break? Lunch is for wimps,” Badenoch quipped. “I usually have food brought in and eat while working. There’s no time … Occasionally, I’ll have a steak.”
Delving further into her food preferences, the Tory leader added, “I’m not a fan of sandwiches. In my view, sandwiches aren’t real food — they’re more like something you’d have for breakfast.” She also revealed her personal aversion to bread, insisting that she “will not touch it if it’s moist.”
Unsurprisingly, Badenoch’s comments triggered some playful pushback from Downing Street, as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s camp weighed in on the matter.
Responding to journalists’ questions on Thursday, a spokesperson for Sunak expressed surprise at Badenoch’s penchant for steak lunches. “The prime minister is quite content with a sandwich meal,” they noted.
The spokesperson went on to defend the humble sandwich as a “great British institution,” even highlighting its economic significance. According to the British Sandwich Association, the sandwich industry contributes an impressive £8 billion annually to the U.K. economy.
