Now, I don't normally go for Christmas specials or festive menus at fast food restaurants, but after seeing the advert for Subway’s Festive Feast, I knew I had to try it.
Firstly, I love Subway - I'm a big fan of sandwiches in general, and everyone knows sandwiches taste better if someone else makes them for you. My usual order from Subway is an Italian BMT on hearty Italian bread, cheese, cucumber, lettuce and mayonnaise. Cold - never toasted. So, today I ordered my Festive Feast with the same additions - and I omitted the rancid cranberry sauce.
The Festive Feast comes with turkey slices, streaky bacon and sausages. The turkey was lovely and juicy, the bacon was super crispy - but the sausages were a bit naff. Sausages should ALWAYS be warm in sandwiches - when they're cold, they just taste like congealed lard.
Obviously turkey is the key component of a Christmas dinner - and the sausage and bacon makes up the pigs in blankets. But what's missing? Something turkey should never be without? STUFFING! If this sandwich came with a touch of stuffing and less lardy sausages, it would be a million times nicer.
If I order another this December, I should try it toasted - see how that changes the taste of the meat, omit the cheese, because that just didn't work whatsoever and sneak in some stuffing in a tupperware.
