Rely on me, they appear jointly

Mary McCartney included: “In a McCartney sandwich, we are not concerned of a condiment.”

Telegraph verdict: A good brief-take care of lunch in shape for a commuter

Lisa Markwell, The Telegraph’s foodstuff editor, offers her feeling on Sir Paul McCartney’s bagel recipe

Sir Paul McCartney’s sandwich recipe (if you can get in touch with it that) demands palms-on testing to obtain out if it is a medley value copying.

This tuneful, frugal billionaire slices two bagels each into three, consequently earning a complete more serving. But that does indicate compromising on framework. I can see he could possibly be heading for a excellent carb-to-filling ratio, but it’s tough to slice a bagel that slender devoid of complete collapse. Most likely he should “get bap” (sorry).

I would never ever have an untoasted bagel, so this is a little bit flabby for my style: the Marmite (and extra pickle) does a large amount of major lifting, flavour-clever, to rescue an in any other case generic snack. A salty thwack of the yeasty unfold does elevate hummus, a from time to time mealy, bland dip.

His genius transfer is to generate “lettuce barriers” involving the Marmite and the hummus and then again just before the major bagel, so when you squish the second circle on top, the filling does not ooze as a result of the hole (and, with unhappy inevitability, all down your leading). It does still ooze out of the perimeter, on the other hand: diner beware.

So significantly, so harmonious. But in his YouTube rationalization, the star added that he “might have cheese, a single slice of tomato… a pickle or two”. No doubt Sir Paul, in contrast to me, has ready entry to Montgomery cheddar, artisan relish and San Marzano tomatoes. Posh or not, I do not assume the sandwich requires these additions – it smacks of “use up every thing in the fridge ahead of the Ocado supply arrives”.

Sir Paul’s final flourish is a dab of honey mustard which presents a further, peppery, dimension to the by-now cluttered assembly. “We’re not frightened of a condiment,” is how Mary, his daughter, place it. 

When I consume his actual recipe, it is nowhere in the vicinity of as muddled as I think it is likely to be and, although bits of filling are tumbling everywhere you go, it’s a decent brief-resolve lunch. Despite the fact that, it feels far more like some thing a school mum or harried commuter would slap jointly than a celebrity.

The chef in me would have blended the Marmite and hummus with each other – ebony and ivory, if you will – then added finely chopped gherkin to the blend, right before piling on shredded roast lamb (Linda, address your ears) or even slivers of dressed red cabbage. 

And remember to, Sir Paul, toast the bagel.
