Christmas leftovers
One of the joys of post-Christmas food is a fridge stacked to the rafters with meats, cheese, smoked fish, chutneys and pickles.
What could be better Boxing Day fare than a crusty bread sandwich piled high with slices of turkey, ham, roast beef, even a slice of cold stuffing - accompanied by a dollop of mayonnaise and nose-tingling English mustard?
