The first sandwich munch


Hello, or dare I say it Merry Christmas!, Now as it is now December and you're already sick of the tacky retail shops ramming Christmas down our necks. I have decided to create my first blog. 

So the first sandwich I am reviewing today is the Marks & Spencers Turkey, Stuffing & Bacon Feast. 

Malted bread is a good start, trying to be healthy but not as much as wholemeal. Chunks of Turkey instead of processed slices and stuffing that reminds me of home. The bacon is good but I miss the chipolata that it should be wrapped around. A little more cranberry chutney would be nice but the addition of mayonnaise keeps the sandwich moist and very appetising. Also lets not forget that they promote the use of British Turkey's...hmmm!
It has 580 calories for those that care, and has a saturated fat content of 6.2g, which is only expected due to the bacon. The packaging is of a good standard and is recycled, which you always expect from M&S (Keep on recycling). There is 5% of the proceeds that go to Shelter to give the homeless and families a more secure future. However the design of the packaging is let down by all the copy and the front could be a little simpler while still trying to show that M&S has that prestigious feel. Christmas packaging doesn't always have to be over the top tackyness! I rate this sandwich 8/10. Until tomorrow...
