Why Are There Sandwiches In Murder In Paradise?

[dance2trance]

Last week I was curious about the white bread sandwich which the murdered man had with him as I thought white sliced was not available in the Caribbean. Apparently it is. This week the murdered man took a granary sandwich with him up to his death chamber and slices of granary bread were on the kitchen table in the hotel for the police to examine! Is this bread theme accurate? What will it be next week? Or is it the slang thing ie sliced bread = dead? Oh I know what it will be, it it will be toast! Such fun in the sun.

If you're going to the Ocean Two Resort in Barbados (with, for example, Virgin Holidays), you can pre-order your groceries for their self-catering accommodation. The items on offer included both white and whole wheat sliced loaves:

If you're hiring a yacht in Guadeloupe (where 'Death in Paradise' is filmed), they can supply you with vacuum-packed sliced bread:

So it seems that sliced bread most definitely IS available on at least some Caribbean islands. This Jamaican supermarket sells it too:

As I said on your other thread in Antigua you can by every bread you can buy in Tesco including baguettes, ciabatta, soft rolls, crispy rolls,croissants, white and granary, gluten free - they really are not some out of the way backwoods place!
By the way I got married at the Ocean 2 in Barbados :-))

I think it is the apparent obsession with bread products that is being highlighted. Series will probably be toast soon then

dance2trance,
I sense a career in forensic science would be a direction for you to take....!

[aelmpvw]

i think the moral is ... steer clear of sandwiches when in the caribbean

Let's have some music.

I was tempted to post Carole Bayer Sager's 'You're Moving Out Today'. ("Your nasty habits ain't confined to bed. The grocer told me what you do with bread. Why don't you take up with the baker's wife instead?).

However this seems just as appropriate here ;-)

Now I wonder why you would think that I'm a fan of The Muppets . . . ?
