Battle of the Festive Sarnie: Tesco Pigs Under Blankets

Battle of the Festive Sarnie: Tesco Pigs Under Blankets

Happy Friday! The last in the series is here with Tesco Pigs Under Blankets. Tesco had quite the array for festive sarnies but as we haven’t had a roll, and given pigs in blankets is a christmas dinner staple, this one seemed a fitting choice.  Despite having a slight melton at the fact that when I got to Tesco they were refurbishing the sandwich area and I couldn’t find where they were relocated to, I finally found these hiding up the magazine aisle no less. This was part of their meal deal but singularly it is going to cost you £2.95. This is pretty hefty…

Battle of the Festive Sarnie: Co-Op Boxing Day Lunch

Battle of the Festive Sarnie: Co-Op Boxing Day Lunch

It’s December guys and gals, put on that festive hat and lets get stuck into the penultimate battle! We all know that Christmas eats do not end on the day itself, that really would be a sad situation because the Boxing Day food is just as exciting as the day itself. I was pleased to see that the festive sarnies this year aren’t just focusing on the turkey and stuffing, and today’s review is all about the Co-Op Boxing Day Lunch.  Co-Op are covering all bases by doing both a Christmas Turkey number as well as the Boxing Day Lunch. In its…

Battle of the Festive Sarnie: Sainsbury’s Christmas Day Lunch

Battle of the Festive Sarnie: Sainsbury’s Christmas Day Lunch

So far we have had the Boots Shapers and Waitrose Love Life Sarnies but festive sarnies are not just confined to in-between two bits of bread. Oh no sir bob, Sainsbury’s Christmas Day Lunch has broken the festive sarnie boundaries and given us a Christmas Lunch in a tortilla wrap. Mind blowing I’m sure.  Costing a pretty reasonable £2.20, even the description of this makes it hard to believe they can fit all that into a tortilla wrap. I am all for challenging the conventional however my slight reservation of a store bought filled wrap is they are often exceptionally…

Battle of the Festive Sarnie: Waitrose Love Life Turkey and Roast Vegetable Stuffing

Battle of the Festive Sarnie: Waitrose Love Life Turkey and Roast Vegetable Stuffing

Yesterday saw the Boots Shapers Turkey, Stuffing & Redcurrant sarnie but today is a new day and this calls for a new festive delight. Waitrose were by far my king of festive sarnies last year and I must have consumed enough to cover anybody who didn’t partake. I have been an eager beaver for these to arrive in store and to see if it varied from last year, and indeed it has. Enter this years sarnie – Waitrose Love Life Turkey and Roast Vegetable Stuffing. This is quite the interesting choice of veg and to be honest I was very hesitant…

Battle of the Festive Sarnie: Boots Shapers Turkey, Stuffing & Redcurrant

The battle of the festive sandwiches has begun. Yes it is a battle I take very seriously and there can only be one winner. Christmas is one of my favourite times of year and the festive sandwich is the only festive food I allow myself to eat as soon as they come out. It is actually a running joke at work with how many I eat!  This year it is only fair that we start with the first festive sarnie that I had – Boots Shapers Turkey,  Stuffing & Redcurrant Sauce. This is pretty much the standard turkey sandwich that will…
