Marks & Spencer's Turkey Feast


5.4/10

Between two slices of malted brown bread was a not so merry Christmas sandwich. The marinated roast British turkey tasted very overcooked, dry and gave quite a bit of resistance when trying to bite into it. Whatever it was marinated in was not at all noticeable when tasting it. The texture of the smoked British bacon was very rubbery, as well being very tasteless, and was impossible to tear apart without bringing the whole lot out, which caused other fillings of the sandwich to fall out all over the place. Obviously Britain is not the place to get your sandwich meat. Also, its rubbery texture meant that it took quite some time to chew on before swallowing. The next Scrooge of an ingredient was the very tasteless pork and chestnut stuffing. This had not been spread across the sandwich at all, instead was clumped right in the middle, which made the centre of the sandwich very dense and difficult to eat around. Then came the spiced cranberry chutney. This did not have the substance of standard chutney, it was very thin and watery which seeped into the bread, causing the sandwich to be soggy. As well it did not taste spiced at all, and was very sweet, and tasted more of strawberry jam.   
On the whole, I would not recommend this Grinch sandwich to anyone looking for a festive snack, you will just be full of Christmas disappointment, and wish the ghost of Christmas future would have warned you before buying it. Although some money got donated towards homeless shelters when purchasing this sandwich, so that gave me some satisfaction.
