Whats the best sandwich?

Post by Long slender neck »

I'm especially interested in ones available for purchase and how much do they cost you?

But also, lets hear about your homemade efforts.

I find you cant get anything decent for less than £5 now.

I like the Smoked Salmon sandwich from Pret. And Toast (a few branches around essex now) do some really good toasties. Both not super cheap though.

The Waitrose fresh baguettes are nice, I like the Ham and Emmental one. £4.95 though :(((

Pret baguettes good too, posh cheddar pickle and chicken bacon caesar but again £££££

They used to do a ham, egg and mustard which was good but dont see it anymore.

The posh range at Tesco its a fiver dead on can it be included? It has a fantastic New York inspired pastrami and emmental with gherkins on rye bread, from the same range the deli inspired chicken and bacon caesar wrap is godly when paired with beef hula hoops and an apple tango.

Favorite sandwich is a chicken and sweetcorn mayo in a bagel

I've not yet gone down the Meal Deal Upgrade path, but perhaps I should.

I work with a geezer who gets one (sometimes two) entry level Tesco meal deals per day.

I always feel disappointed when I have to resort to them

Ok, not a sandwich, but Pret’s Line-Caught Tuna Bagette is good. Also their ‘New Yorker’ which has almost everything in it.

Starbuck’s Christmas Feast is good but that’s not much use right now ….

Well worth trying those 2. My Mrs rates the smoked salmon and cream cheese one but shes a bit of a wrong un with questionable taste seeing as she married me. Always seems to be available as well where as the other 2 sell out quite quickly in our local Tesco Express

A tuna and cheese toasted sandwich is something that shouldn’t work but tastes amazing.

Easily available ready made - Sainsbury Halloumi and roast vegetable wrap is the least inedible. Pret's prosciutto, parmesan and basil was alright, but haven't been able to bring myself to pay their prices in years.

In theory it should be a good ahout but both times I've tried the bread had started to go soggy.

Waitrose chicken katsu curry sandwich is pretty good and quite a change from the usual.

Not had that issue yet but will certainly give them a squeeze now to try and determine bread stability

I think it's from the pickle placement and effects the inside of the bread, so try and pry it open a bit before squeezing. A close inspection of the spinach freshness is also required.

I love a Greggs sausage and bacon baguette if I’m out in the morning.

Homemade cheese and onion on crusty bread. A dash of mayonnaise. I pity those countless numbers of workers who make sandwiches for supermarkets and other outlets. I reckon their own interest in sandwiches is limited.

Tayto Cheese and Onion crisps on Brennans White Sliced.
I prefer mayonnaise but Kerrygold butter also excellent if not too hard.
