On paper it all looked so good. A Christmas Sandwich from Pret - a place where 'making nice sandwiches' is pretty much their whole deal. And indeed, early bites delivered on this promise. Moist, flavoursome turkey and a generous wedge of stuffing, combined with the wholly welcome textural innovation of a scattering of crispy onions. Unfortunately, all of these fine ingredients end up being rather drowned out by the port & cranberry sauce. I don't know if there was slightly too much of the stuff, or if it was just a bit too sweet, but halfway through I was struck by the unpleasant realisation that what I was essentially doing was eating a chicken salad sandwich that someone had put jam in. And there is a reason that 'chicken and jam' is not in the pantheon of classic year-round sandwich combinations.
And, again with the spinach. Who even has spinach as part of their Christmas lunch? NOBODY, THAT'S WHO.
I MEAN, MAYBE POPEYE.
BUT HE'S FICTIONAL.
AND CERTAINLY, NOBODY ELSE.

But I like chicken and jam and spinach. Even better with a pat of peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteKale soup, I'm afraid. Very close to spinach.
ReplyDeleteexactly the same conclusion I came to. too much cranberry sauce!
