Delicious Turkey Feast – With Turkey, Bacon & Cranberry Sauce

2/10

Between two slices of malted bread, this Christmas themed sandwich brought all the elements of a post Christmas dinner sarnie. The way in which the turkey had been cut into larger, uneven chunks was as if it were to imitate the left over carvings from the feast, which brought authenticity to the sandwich, as well it being juicy and tender. It may have been the cranberry sauce which maintained this juiciness, which, at first, I doubted would have been fitting in a sandwich but it sweetness, mixed with the other fillings, brought an extra sense of flavour and excitement to this seasonal treat. As well, the sweetcured bacon prevented the sandwich from becoming too sweet by adding an essence of salt to the concoction, and its chewy texture gave a bit more resistance when sinking your teeth into it, making you work for this treat.

I always find a bit of veg makes a good sandwich into a great one, and the standard lettuce or cucumber would not have really suited this sandwich. Instead they chose to use spinach, which was a very fine choice. Its softness made itself invisible to the touch, when biting into it, but it brought a lot of flavour into the sandwich which suited the meat very well, and even adding a bit of spice. However, overall it was the pork, sage and onion stuffing which brought this sandwich together as a whole. It was rich in flavour, with the onion and sage bringing new elements of taste to the sandwich. As well, it made a form of sandwich glue holding the whole thing together, and prevented all the ingredients from falling on your lap.

On the whole, this sandwich brought many a Christmas joy to this sandwich lover, as it made the joys of a post Christmas dinner sandwich come early, and had all the ingredients and taste one could wish for.

However, you may be wondering why this glorious sandwich only scored 2 out of 10. This was because as I was taking in my final bite I noticed a very odd texture within the sandwich. When I managed to separate this from the rest of it, I went to pull it out and discovered it was a long black hair, which did not belong to me, nor was it listed in the ingredients, which instantly put me off the sandwich, otherwise it would have scored an 8.3. So please enjoy this sandwich if you choose to buy it, as this may have been a one off added hair.
