Between two slices of malted brown bread, the filling of the
Tesco’s Ploughman’s sandwich brings an enchanting sensation to your taste buds.
The way in which the sandwich is perfectly layered, with firstly a layer of pickle
which is so sweet, yet also slightly sour, brings the key flavour to this
sandwich making your mouth water for what is next. This is then a layer of
crisp lettuce, which was perfectly chilled, giving the sandwich its texture and
that almighty crunch as you sink your teeth into it. Next up is the key
ingredient to the Ploughman’s, the cheddar cheese. The slice within was cut to
the ideal size for a sandwich, not too thin, yet not too thick, so the flavour
does not overwhelm all the other ingredients. The flavour of the cheddar itself
is fairly strong, enough to satisfy a fellow cheese fans lust for that cheesy
dairy goodness. Beneath the layer of cheddar cheese are a few slices tomatoes. The
use of tomatoes in a sandwich can be very dangerous, as tomatoes can turn a
great sandwich into a poor moist sandwich. But yet again the Tesco’s Ploughman’s
succeeds, the few small slices of tomatoes are just enough to add some juiciness
and extra flavouring to the sandwich without making it too moist. The final
layer is a coat of mayonnaise bringing a sense of coolness to the sandwich,
which calms down ones taste buds so you can handle to full glorious taste without
overwhelming them. On the whole Tesco have made this classic sandwich into a
mouth watering, delicious snack, which would satisfy any customer on the hunt
for a snack in the cheese and pickle area.
