A shop in Wales is selling chocolate orange and lettuce sandwiches for a very nice reason

Wales is famed for many fine culinary delights, like Welsh cakes, Welsh rarebit and Bara brith. But, Wales could be about to add another gastronomic gem to its list of national dishes -- a Terry's Chocolate Orange and lettuce baguette.

The sandwich is the brainchild of Phil Daly who runs Channings Newsstand in Cardiff, Wales, who seems to be running a series of sandwich experiments featuring some pretty unusual ingredients.

Richard Allison, who works at Channings, explained that they've been creating "whacky sandwiches" as a bit of "tongue-in-cheek fun". The chocolate orange concoction went down a treat with shoppers and sold out on Tuesday. Mind you, there were only two of them. But still. "A couple of people said 'you've gone bonkers' and some were saying 'it's wrong on all different levels'," Allison said. "We're just trying to have a little bit of fun and brighten people's days. To bring some laughter to the world." Channings aren't stopping at chocolate and lettuce, though. They plan to sell tuna mayo and liquorish baguettes, along with jam, egg and jelly bean-filled baguettes, and a bacon, egg and pontefract cake baguette. Nice. Photos of the unusual sandwiches were posted on Twitter to the delight -- and disgust -- of hundreds. "M8 I want the chocolate orange one no joke," wrote one Twitter user. "Tell me this is a lie," tweeted another. The sandwiches are available for £1.99 at Channings in Cardiff. For those of you who don't live in Wales, you might just have to make your own at home.
