As December approaches, old boxes of decorations are leaving our attics, scents of pine and cinnamon are filling our houses and 'Fairytale of New York' is blaring, incessantly, from our radios. Yet the one of the newest, but greatest festivities of them all is the myriad of flavours that fill our mouths on our first bites into this season’s best tradition: Christmas dinner sandwiches.
With restaurants closed, it is clear that more and more shops and cafes are trying to compensate for the lack of festive food on offer, the best being the Christmas dinner sandwiches invading the isles. However, with so many to chose from, first time Christmas sandwich tryers will have one question on the tip of their tongues- which is the best? Not to worry, we have the lowdown on the top 3 most delicious festive sandwiches of 2020.
Although pricey compared to the others, GAIL’s Wasteless Christmas Sandwich, for £5.50, is in 3rd place. The bakery’s credible aims to adhere to its Waste Not Campaign, have led to the creation of this low waste sandwich, which consists of ingredients like succulent smoked turkey, sweet but salty bacon jam and soft sourdough bread. If you’re looking to treat yourself but save the planet simultaneously, this is the sandwich for you.
Next up is the M&S turkey feast sandwich, which definitely deserves an honorable second place due to its delectable stock roasted turkey, pork stuffing and obligatory cranberry sauce. Priced at just £3.30, don’t hesitate to augment your celebrations by picking up other festive delights to accompany the sandwich’s perfectly blended Christmas flavours, like an M&S mince pie!
Finally, the ultimate festive sandwich has to be Pret’s iconically delicious Christmas lunch, which you can even purchase vegan style, with butternut squash and a heavenly nut roast! Its juicy turkey is complimented beautifully by a port and orange cranberry sauce and pork stuffing.Why not try one of Pret's Christmas drinks whilst you're at it, maybe a gingerbread latte?
If you’re looking to begin your festivities, there is no better or more delicious way than this one!
