Alright, so this blog may be a little out-there<\/i> compared to our usual afternoon-reading material, but if you\u2019re anything like us \u2013you\u2019ll know that no Christmas is complete without a good old Christmas sarnie, or two!<\/p>\n
When facing that hung-over walk home from last night\u2019s party, there\u2019s no better glisten of Christmas cheer than spotting that turkey-goodness on the shelf; packed full of stuffing, cranberry and all the trimmings in a beautiful bed of carbohydrate heaven. We\u2019re looking at you, Greggs! <\/i>But, as any sandwich connoisseur will know \u2013 there\u2019s nothing more heartbreaking than a bite into tasteless turkey and dried-up stuffing disappointment.<\/p>\n
So, as a little \u2018From CityBlock To You\u2019<\/i>, we\u2019ve put together 4 of the best festive feasts that promise to make the run up to the jingle-season a little more bearable! *Disclaimer: Vegetarians look away now, there\u2019s a whole lot of festive meat on its way.<\/i><\/p>\n
The Christmas Triple – Sainsburys<\/b><\/p>\n
If you\u2019re the indecisive type, the Sainsbury\u2019s Christmas Triple is sure to be the festive-filling you\u2019re looking for! Sure, it ain\u2019t your Nan\u2019s cooking, but if you\u2019re on lunch and feeling a little \u2018I\u2019m-hungry-and-I-want-something-Christmassy\u2019 \u2013 it\u2019s perfect! A calorie-tastic salmon, cheese and turkey feast in one very festive box. Nice.<\/p>\n
Turkey Feast \u2013 With Turkey, Bacon & Cranberry Sauce \u2013 Boots<\/b><\/p>\n
Call me Scrooge, but when it comes to a festive sandwich, hold back on the Cranberry sauce a little! There\u2019s nothing worse than soggy bread and too much cranners, so if you like more filling than sauce on your sarnie \u2013 behold, the sandwich for you! They\u2019re pretty easy-going on the berry front, so you\u2019ve got a juicy-ish<\/i> sandwich with some other flavours you can actually taste. It\u2019s in the meal deal too, so if you\u2019re looking for a cheap but filling dins \u2013 Boot\u2019s will sort you out!<\/p>\n
The Festive Bake \u2013 Greggs<\/b><\/p>\n
Oh come on! We know it\u2019s not a sandwich, but what gets you more in the festive spirit than this little guy? Greggs hit jackpot when they made this little pastry devil, and we anticipate its return from at least August every year! Priced at only \u00a31-something, it\u2019s the epitome of Christmas, without having to spend a fortune. Yes! Tip: Order one when they\u2019ve just come out of the oven. Mmm, warm festive bake goodness.<\/i><\/p>\n
*Drumroll* and the winner is…<\/i><\/p>\n
