Christmas sandwich taste test

Christmas sandwich taste test

After testing these Christmas sandwiches, our verdict is you’d be better off making your own. Just assemble all the essential ingredients – your preferred bread and condiments, perhaps some crisps – and wait until St Stephen’s Day, when you can assemble a humdinger of a sandwich made to your own exacting requirements.

If that’s too long a wait, queue up at your local gourmet sandwich shop. Their Christmas special might cost more than one from the supermarkets, but will be bigger, tastier and more satisfying, and may even come with a little pot of gravy for dipping. Justify the cost by sharing with a pal.
