Meal deals have become a popular lunchtime staple for Brits across the country.
While several supermarkets share the discounted offer for the main, snack, and drink combination, Tesco arguably takes the top spot for its tasty midday meal.
In honour of British Sandwich Week (May 22 to 28), the popular supermarket chain has unveiled the nation's best-selling sandwich.
While you might assume that standard classics would be crowned top spot - from plain ham, tuna, cheese, and so forth - you'd be on the completely wrong path.
Tesco has compared their supermarket data to lift the lid on the much-asked question, what is the nation's favourite sandwich?

The Sausage, Bacon & Egg Triple Sandwich is Tesco's best-selling sarnieTesco's all-day breakfast sandwich has been revealed as the nation's favourite.
The Sausage, Bacon & Egg Triple Sandwich was revealed as the supermarket's best-selling sandwich for the past three years, with over a million sold on average each month.
Other favourites, including the likes of Triple Chicken, Cheese & Onion, Chicken, Bacon & Stuffing, and Chicken Club, came close in the runnings from its 50+ strong range.
Sales of Tesco's Triple Chicken soared by almost a fifth (approximately 19%) in the past year alone.
According to the results, seven of the supermarket's top 10 bestselling sandwiches include meat, with bacon appearing the most frequently and even Just Ham making it.
The controversially pongy Cheese & Onion is the top vegetarian sandwich choice amongst Tesco shoppers.
However, the classic Tuna & Sweetcorn appears to be falling out of favour. In 2023 so far, it's dropped out of the top 10 most popular Food to Go choice for the first time in recent years.
Stephanie Bacon, Food to Go Product Development Manager, and go-to 'sandwich expert' at Tesco said: "The sandwich is quite literally the bread and butter of our nation – it can't be beaten!
"With many people going back to the office more in the past year and working from home less, we've made sure we have a great selection of Food to Go and Meal Deal options so that our shoppers always have a delicious, affordable lunch.
"We also recently introduced our Premium Meal deal to provide even more flavours and styles to our range."
