Food This project (or whatever it is) (a bit?) may be more difficult than I first thought. Turns out not every retailer with a sandwich selection pushes the boat out in that regard during the festive period, so neither Heron Foods or B&M will be judged here and instead we're assessing Tesco on the third day. My plan is to keep these logistical notices to a minimum, but don't be surprised if the pre-packed only rule, apart from Subway of course, is suspended as the days and weeks role on.
Of all the supermarkets, Tesco's been the most ubiquitous in my biography mostly because my Mum worked on the check outs in the Clayton Square branch between the mid-90s and when she retired. We'd do all of our shopping in there to take advantage of her staff discount and remained pretty loyal right up until Asda opened their massive supermarket within walking distance of home. But now Tesco have shops in almost every street, it's pretty impossible not to shop there.
For years I've been addicted to their chicken salad sandwich to the point that there may have been a sobbing incident when I was finally able to get one on the single occasion when we managed to get some home shopping during the first lockdown in 2020. Mum loved their cheese and onion sandwich (too rich for me) and Dad always has the prawn mayonnaise when it's offered to him. We're big, if habitual buyers of Tesco sandwiches.
Fortunately, Turkey & Trimmings doesn't disappoint. It's gorgeous. On opening the packet you can smell all of the ingredients, like sitting over a dinner plate on Christmas day and all of those elements are present and correct during the devouring, turkey, sausage and bacon working together with the cranberry to create a moist, yummy taste. On seeing it in the shop I did think, "Well, that's a lot of protein ..." but it wasn't as hard or stodgy as they have been previous years. This is a nice sandwich. Onward.
