Tesco Handmade Ploughman's

Rating: 8.6/10

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.
