Step 1 Spread butter over your thick sliced bread. Generously smother one side with Boxing Day chutney, the other with mustard.

Step 2 Lay slices of ham on top of one side, before spreading over braised red cabbage. Top with turkey slices.

Step 3 Thinly shred uncooked Brussels sprouts and throw them in a bowl. Bind with a spoonful of mayonnaise and a little mustard - wholegrain works well, but whatever you have to hand.

Step 4 Spoon the slaw over the sliced ham and spread out. Place stuffing balls on top of the slaw evenly, before filling the gaps with pigs in blankets.

Step 5 Finally, add crisps of your favourite flavour and complete the sandwich with the remaining slice. Press down slowly, relishing the crunch of the crisps as you do so.

Step 6 Crown with a final pig in blanket as a majestic flourish then carefully slice the sandwich in two and enjoy in the peace of solitude, if possible.
