I'm quite often left scratching my head at how FT staff select the "must read" stories. I wish I could remember some other recent ones that were just stupid or odd. But the BA pulled pork sandwich is a good example of a topic that, while it may be of very mild interest to someone with an upcoming BA F flight, hardly seems worthy of a "must read"!
