Good luck

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. It's another key room. So we're here today to review some Christmas supermarket sandwiches
0:15
Yeah, I'm an aficionado. I go for about three four-meal deals a week. So can we have the first sandwich
0:20
Yes, bring it on. What are we eating here? So we have Pig in Blanket by Amazon Fresh
0:27
a relative newcomer to the Christmas. the sandwich market. Yeah. I'm going to start off by saying
0:32
this looks pretty bad. I think it looks pretty good. It looks moist
0:37
It does look moist. It's very crummy. Okay, pigs and blankets from Amazon
0:41
I've never had so many different colored and different consistent things taste all exactly the same
0:47
of absolutely nothing. It is a sea of beige. I don't hate it, though. Everything in this bread tastes the same
0:54
which is nothing. I just spat some on the chair, but I don't regret it
0:58
Well, we have our spittoon here as well. If you, if you, um, it's gone
1:04
You're gone. I, I quite like it. I'm out. I would buy this
1:13
I would eat this again. I think this is, it's not a great sandwich. It's a fine sandwich. Okay
1:19
This is the Pretz vegan nut roast. Okay, this is my favorite Christmas sandwich of all time
1:26
and it's just so. I'm a massive pretzucker. I love that you have a favorite Christmas sandwich of all time
1:32
Yeah. Vegan food is just tastier than turkey. It is so full of stuff
1:38
There is just, I mean, stuffing. My God. Mmm. It's like Christmas Day in my mouth
1:44
Bring it. Do you not think the squash is undercutt? No, it's a nice al dente squash
1:48
It tastes raw. Can you? The stuffing is nice, but this is just raw squash in my mouth
1:54
Can you have al dente squash? Is that just pasta? I think it just pasta I don think the Italians have al dente squash No I not interested at all Oh my God they quite expensive though
2:08
My God, I would pay £35 for this sandwich. Next up, this is a classic Tesco pig and blanket
2:19
No, the turkey and the bread tastes same consistency again. I can't be having this
2:24
You and I have such different tasting sandwiches. But you need to be able to know which bits the bread and which bits the turkey, right
2:30
It's a bit confusing. There's no turkey in here. There's no turkey in here? No. This is bacon and sausage
2:35
What's that then? We've got different sandwiches here. We have different sandwiches
2:39
This is a duo. Oh. Oh, I know which one this is
2:43
This is the Tesco pig and blanket and then other sandwich duo
2:48
Oh, okay. This is a sword fight. I thought that you could not distinguish sausage from turkey
2:54
I'm dropping this all over myself. I clearly don't mind. I'm okay I've changed my mind it's fine
2:58
yeah I'm into this I can keep there you're flirting with the bin lid
3:03
maybe I'll keep it to keep it it's being both being kept that's the first one that we haven't
3:08
sacrificed one to the bin this is from pure this is Rudolph's roots
3:13
sounds a little saucy does doesn't it please take one please take one of Rudolph's roots
3:19
it is actually nice it's actually nice yeah I think this is really pleasant
3:26
I'm into it. It's not what you think of as a Christmas sandwich. Christmas is often burdened by trope
3:32
If I were to sell you this in March, would you think, why is he giving me a Christmas wrap
3:37
I'd be like, root, vegetables and lettuce and a wrap. What an excellent Easter wrap you've given me
3:43
I mean, actually, it's perfect summer fodder, isn't it? It is any season
3:47
That's just... They've just put the word Rudolph in front of... That's just a summer platter
3:51
Are we going to disqualify them for cheating? Yeah, good point, actually. Okay, it's going in the bin. Let's go in the bin
3:56
Check it out. Wow Okay now this is a real Christmas staple That is a multi Pret turkey sandwich Okay Now this should be good I will be disappointed if this is not
4:09
I mean, that's what a sandwich should look like. I know that I'm a sucker for Pratt, but that's what a sandwich should look like, right
4:13
You've got colors in there. You've got good, like, good spread. Even within the stuffing, you've got oranges and yellows and browns
4:22
Yeah, yeah. Remind you about song, do you remember, I can see a rainbow, can see a red and yellow and pink
4:28
Yeah. This is a prettier sandwich yet, I think. This would be the one that I would pick off the shelf
4:35
See, this is just a good sandwich on every level. This would go well with the pint
4:41
It would. Can we get a pint? Oh, no. Thank you. Okay
4:49
Now, this is a moment I have not been looking forward to, the Boots Christmas sandwich. Oh
4:55
Don't know how they managed to do it, but every year, they come bottom of our Christmas list
5:01
Shall we please do the honours? Thank you so much. I'm worried about this
5:05
There's a lot of mayo in now. We've got some stuffing. We've got some turkey
5:09
It's very smashed up turkey. It's not slices. Oh, look at the stuffing
5:14
It looks like a little chicken woo-woo. A little chicken accident. I'm going in
5:24
It's like they've managed to make cardboard taste even less like anything
5:29
Like it's something you might feed to cattle to provide sustenance. I think we should feed it to cattle
5:34
Yeah. In the bin? Yeah. About that. The best for last two
5:40
We've got to go two at once. Hope you guys can handle it
5:43
Thank you. So we have Sainsbury's Turkey. That's the one that smelled like cold meat
5:48
when I open the packet. And we have Waitrose, Breit and Cranberry. This stage of the event
5:53
really betrays the problem with it because having had nine sandwiches, I do not want to eat more sandwiches but in the name of science we have to do this I would rather eat There nothing I would rather less eat than that sandwich It smelled terrible I going to go for this first Let just get it down You know that cold fridge smell
6:11
Yeah. Okay, get it down quick. Korean cranberry. Not good. Not good
6:18
No. I'm going to splatlin. It's obviously really good. It's wait throws
6:27
You know, nice brie, nice cranberry. Good spread. Again, this is just tasteless text, yeah
6:34
I'd return. I'd go back for that. It's going in the bin. Straight in the bin
6:40
I could enjoy that at any time of the year. Imagine just laying in a field with a nice komer and this sandwich
6:47
I could imagine that, reading a literary classic. A glass of crook. Mm, yeah, absolutely, yeah
6:53
Okay, now this looks good. I don't want, I do not want to eat there. This was awful
6:58
This is just Bree, isn't it? Who doesn't like Brie? Look at it. The chicken and the stuffing
7:03
have made a sad paste. How crabby all around my mouth. You really got the short straw
7:13
It's like, smell of it. It's like torture
7:26
It's like, torture. It's the smell. It's like. It's the smell. I can't
7:32
This is wonderful. you. Thank you. Oh, good this is me
7:40
I'm going to have to have a lay down after this and check into some sort of therapy
7:45
I'm dumb. I'm crying. I'm actually crying with a lot of them and disappointment
7:53
Would any of you do this again? Same time next year? Yeah, next week
7:58
Let's do it again next week. Congratulations. Cheers
