Cooking with Matthew: The Ham Sandwich

Good morning and welcome to today's award winning edition of Cooking with Matthew. As a card carrying member of the British Sandwich Association I'd like to share my favourite variety of sandwich, that Spanish tradition: the ham sandwich. Dating back to the 16th century, this recipe has been passed down through the family. Let's get right into it!

Ham Sandwich (Serves One)
-Ingredients
Bread (2 slices)
Butter (or I can't believe it's not butter)
Ham 

-Procedure
1. Prepare your bread slices by evenly spreading butter (or I can't believe it's not butter) on one side of each slice.
2. Place ham on the buttered side of one of the slices of bread.
[Extra for Experts: Try experimenting by adding extra ingredients, but be careful - mixing baking soda and vinegar can create an explosion]
3. Place the other slice of bread on top, with the buttered side facing the ham.
4. Cut the sandwich in half if your prefer.
5. Enjoy!
