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

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…

Tesco Finest Roast Turkey Stuffing Crisps

It’s so close to Christmas we can almost smell the Roast Dinner cooking! Today’s post is a take on the humble roast and is Tesco Finest Roast Turkey Stuffing Crisps. There are a number of Crisp companies that have bought out the festive dinner flavour, but can Tesco win the taste factor? Originally I was on the hunt for the Tesco Finest Prosecco and Elderberry Crisps but surprise surprise they were no where to be found, and I have checked a number of times. Nonetheless not one to leave empty handed I spied these Limited Edition Roast Turkey and Stuffing…

Marks & Spencer Cafe Turkey Feast

It’s Christmas Week!! What is one of the best things about Christmas? Festive Sarnie’s that’s what. It is a time of year when I eat so many of them that by the end of it I’m surprised I don’t look like one. I am also bemused as to why you can only buy them at Christmas. Yes I am fully aware the turkey, cranberry, stuffing situation is traditionally Christmas, however I would buy this all year round.  Whilst meeting the mothership in town the other day I rocked up to M&S cafe rather late with not a lot of time…
