Rishi Sunak has described himself as a “big sandwich person”, as he revealed the common lunchtime delicacy is his favourite meal.

The Prime Minister stopped short of disclosing his preferred filling for a sandwich, but he did say he would be tucking into a pork-filled “election pie” from his local butchers on Thursday evening.

Mr Sunak also told ITV’s This Morning he would get a Southampton FC crest tattoo, if he had to have one.

My favourite meal generally is sandwiches. You know, I’m a big sandwich person

Asked about his final meal in Number 10, should he lose his role following the General Election, he said: “Well, my favourite meal generally is sandwiches.

“You know, I’m a big sandwich person.

“But, actually, I always have on election night – we have a bit of a tradition, my local butcher, one of my local butchers called Kitson’s in Northallerton High Street, always do a special election pie.”

Mr Sunak described the pie as a “very good pork pie with a special chutney and some cheese as well, on top”, and added he has had the pie at all the elections he has stood at in the Richmond, Yorkshire constituency.

“I have to check in with them,” he said.

The Prime Minister’s appearance on the programme followed a piece on the UK’s most tattooed mother, which led him to reveal his choice of tattoo would be the Southampton FC badge.

“My mind straightaway went to: well, I’d probably get the Saints crest,” he said, before adding that it’s “a great logo”.

Mr Sunak, who was born in Southampton, has long made his support for the club clear and previously described himself as a “massive Saints fan”.
