REVIEW: Turkey, bacon and cranberry by Waitrose (2013)
Since last year’s Christmas Sandwich blog a Waitrose has opened and it is now the third closest shop to the office. Hooray! £3.20 -Turkey, Pork Sage & Onion Stuffing, Cranberry & Port Sauce, Mayo, Spinach, Smoked Bacon, Malted Bread. There’s that fancy cranberry and port sauce again. Are Pret supplying Waitrose? It wouldn’t surprise me.…

REVIEW: Christmas Lunch by Pret (2013)
Free-Range British Turkey, Pork Rosemary & Apricot Stuffing, Cranberry & Port Sauce, Crispy Onions, Mayo, Leaf Spinach, Pret Seasoning, Wholegrain Malted Bread.

REVIEW: Christmas Lunch by Greggs (2013)
HERE WE GO AGAIN! I wasn’t going to bother with the Christmas sandwich blog this year. It originally started as an ironic comment on people posting photos of their food online and the fact that no one just ‘experiences’ things any more, they have to review them. The internet has made everyone ‘creative’ in the…

2012: Christmas Sandwich Round Up
Oh hey there. So the Christmas sandwich thing kind of trailed off the week before Christmas because I spent most of it drunk. And then most of the Christmas break drunk. I didn’t even think about taking photos of any sandwiches. But for the sake of some sort of closure, I have ranked the Chirstmas sandwiches I did…

Sandwich #7: Roast Turkey by Uppercrust
£4.39 – British roast turkey breast, stuffing, bacon, cranberry sauce, apple sauce, white baguette. I have exhausted all of the sandwich places close to the office so had to venture further afield in the cold today and went to Uppercrust at Victoria station. A bit of a trek but that’s how dedicated I am to…

Sandwich #6: Turkey Feast by Boots
£2.60 – Turkey breast and pork, sage & onion stuffing with mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, sweetcured bacon and spinach on malted bread. Today I’ve been to Boots. I was disappointed to find there wasn’t a Christmas sandwich in the Jamie Oliver range, because I’d like that. Again I nearly went for a Christmas sandwich triple pack,…

Sandwich #5: Turkey Feast by Marks and Spencer
£3 – Marinated roast British turkey, pork and chestnut stuffing, spiced cranberry chutney with smoked British bacon with mayonnaise on malted brown bread. I understand some of you have been waiting for this one, so HERE WE GO! I was tempted to buy the Christmas sandwich triple pack but I don’t like salmon so traditional…

Sandwich #4: Christmas Full Works by Eat
£3.50 – Turkey, smoked ham, pork, sage and onion stuffing, cranberry sauce, reduced fat mayonnaise, mixed leaf salad, lack pepper, malted granary bread. I have been accused of being quite negative about the chains I have bought sandwiches from so far, and that this blog might be a stand against franchises and globalisation. But let’s…

Sandwich #3: ‘Festive’ Chicken and Bacon Ranch Melt Sub by Subway
£5.39 (meal deal) – Chicken strips, bacon, Monterey cheese, ranch sauce, lettuce, onion, honey & oat bread. I was wondering where to buy a Christmas sandwich today because I have already exhausted the two options closest to the office and would need to venture out into the cold for more than one minute. Who should…
