What would the Earl of Sandwich think?
 Britain’s own Sarah Ferguson now has a sandwich bearing her title at New York’s Stage Deli. On Monday she unveiled the “Duchess of York,” a grilled chicken breast topped with melted cheese and wasabi horseradish mayonnaise, for people who prefer toe-curling discomfort to mere spice. In what some might call the weakest sales pitch in history, she pleaded with onlookers not to finish it. “You can have a bit of this sandwich as I have ... just don’t eat the whole thing,” she said. Rest assured that if she were American royalty, she would have put bacon on that sucker and tossed it in the deep fryer. She wasn’t paid for the endorsement, but she is a spokeswoman for French’s GourMayo, whose mayonnaise graces the sandwich. She is also, of course, a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers, which explains her plea to dieters but not her decision to put her name on this monstrosity in the first place.

In my opinion, it should have been called the Duchess of Pork, and it should have been made from the other white meat. And by the way, I had one for lunch today and it tasted nothing like her.
