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.

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.

This is pretty much the standard turkey sandwich that will…

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…
