Breaking all the (unwritten) rules of this blog’s ethos this sandwich stems from a big corporate company, Pret a Manger. ‘Ready to eat’ as it translates, is exactly this establishment's selling point. Having only minutes before catching a train I went for the summery ‘Carrot and Humous Crunch’ on artisan baguette, which boasted to have won a prize for fresh ingredients...I hoped so anyway!
The roasted carrots poking out from the baguette swung it for me and on first bite I was not disappointed to find them perfectly cooked and accompanying the chunky chickpea humous deliciously! However the sandwich’s ‘crunch’ element was nowhere to be seen (despite its naming) and keeping faith I assumed its bite was to be discovered further in. Alas, minutes in and still no crunch!
However, the yogurt mayo dressing kept the chewy seeded artisan bread moist and helped balance out the coriander kick running through. The bread itself almost as delicious as my favourite boulangerie dans Paris, was a real treat and definitely worth opting for even if you're partial to a different filling. All in all, for £3.90 (ish, add a little extra for eating in) it's quite expensive, but for fresh and good quality ingredients in a short space of time est pas grave! Bon appétit!

Dijonaise
Deli ham
mexican spicy cheese
lettuce
cucumber
sun blushed tomatoes
and
a sprinking of black pepper.
I was in heaven. Its a shame it doesnt count as a legitimate sandwhich to blog about :(
sounds fricking delish, dijonaise with mexican spicy cheese sounds like an oddly interesting combo.
