jam sandwiches

Fruity spread lunch

A jam sandwich is bread with fruit jam spread between the slices—a simple, sweet staple of British childhood lunches.

In British slang, jam sandwich also refers to a police car, from the white body with a red stripe down the middle resembling the filling between bread: A jam sandwich pulled up behind us with lights flashing.
