I think I have mentioned before that I live between two high streets. Well today I had to nip over to a post office, and I went to the high street where the post office has a convenient self-service machine that confuses the befuddled old farts that tend to hang around the post office. So…

£3.20 – Turkey breast, pork and chestnut stuffing with cranberry, port and orange chutney, mayonnaise, spinach and bacon in sliced malted bread. The readers of this blog who comment on Facebook are becoming increasingly demanding, telling me where to go next and what to review. Tugging on the chain in my nose to make me…

£2.17 – Malted bread with turkey breast, Cumberland pork sausage in beef casing, pork, sage and onion stuffing and port sauce, seasoned mayonnaise and smoke flavour bacon. Or to give the sandwich it’s full name “Have a Classic Christmas Turkey Dinner” (well that’s how it reads to me on the box). In the last review,…

£2.80 – Turkey, cranberry sauce, smoked bacon, stuffing, mayo, malted bread. I live in between two high streets and having exhausted one of their Christmas sandwiches, my never ending quest has sent me to the other high street.And what a let down! The Tesco Express has no Christmas sandwiches at all. I tried Percy Ingle…

Turkey Breast, Pork Stuffing, Smoked Ham, Cranberry Mix, Spinach, Reduced Fat Mayonnaise, Multi-seed Bloomer Bread.

They had a sandwich called…

Free-Range Turkey,  Pret’s Crumbly Pork Stuffing, Crispy Onions, Spinach, Cranberry & Port Sauce, Mayo, Seasoning. I’m on a rare trip to the office, so I will be eating two sandwiches that people keep asking for (seriously!) that I can’t get where I live. Yes I am about to eat two sandwiches, such is my dedication to you, dear readers (that…

£3 – Sage & onion flavoured pulled turkey, sweetcure bacon, cranberry relish, edam cheese, Mature Cheddar cheese, Bechamel sauce in white bread. It’s not called turkey feast! Repeat it’s not called turkey feast! Can you believe it? In fact Greggs have gone down a very different path from everyone else this year. White bread instead…

£3.50 – sliced turkey breast, Cumberland sausage and British beechwood smoked streaky with sage and onion stuffing, mayonnaise and cranberry sauce on malted bread. Another turkey feast? NO! A British turkey feast. This is what we all voted for! As someone quipped in the Facebook comments, make turkey sandwiches great again. When I first picked…

£3.25 – Roast British turkey breast with pork, sage and onion stuffing, cranberry chutney, smoked British bacon and mayonnaise on malted brown bread. Another Turkey Feast! Just goes to show that there are no original ideas anymore. Although looking back, it’s the same name as 2012 so I guess it is consistency. Or maybe it’s…
