00:00 Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch on the go or you want a really easy tea, grabbing
00:07 a supermarket butty has become almost synonymous with being British. But at this time of the
00:14 year we get an extra treat because the supermarkets have on offer their Christmas sandwich selection
00:22 and sometimes more. I am going to three supermarkets chosen at random to grab a sandwich, to try
00:29 their festive selection. Let's go. Just been to Morrisons, I have picked up their Christmas
00:38 lunch in a wrap and now that is sausage, bacon, staged onion stuffing as well as some cranberry
00:45 sauce and mayonnaise. So as you can see it does look quite generously filled. I like
00:50 that you can see some green in there, that spinach makes you feel a little bit healthier.
00:54 I think wraps always feel a little bit lighter anyway but let's give it the taste test. So
01:01 it is a nice big bit of sausage in there. You get the nice saltiness of the bacon and
01:08 then the sweetness of the cranberry sauce comes through as well. So it starts off quite
01:13 savoury and then grows a little bit sweet which I think is quite reminiscent of a Christmas
01:18 dinner anyway. Now although they don't do a meal deal I had to go to Marks and Spencer's.
01:24 They actually have the best selection I have seen out of any supermarkets and I have gone
01:29 for the Christmas Club although it was hard to choose. This is roast chicken breast with
01:35 cranberry chutney, pickled red cabbage, stuffing, bacon, spinach and it is actually on a toasted
01:41 bread. So because it is a club it does have three bits of bread. Wow. They say toasted
01:48 I think this is very lightly toasted but generously filled as you can see. So let's take a bite.
02:00 It's nice. I think it has got all the flavours of Christmas. A little bit of green in there
02:06 from the spinach again, from the red cabbage. It does look quite vibrant. I know I chose
02:14 it but three bits of bread are a bit excessive. Now it wouldn't be fair to leave out the non-meat
02:20 eaters so I popped along to Aldi and picked up their vegan festive feast which is parsnip
02:27 fritter with cranberry chutney, sliced cabbage and sultanas with an onion, vegan mayonnaise,
02:34 fried onions and spinach. Bright colours in there. Let's give it a taste test. This is
02:42 a pretty sweet one with the sultanas and parsnip going on. I think you would expect it to be.
02:49 So after tasting sandwiches from Morrisons, M&S and Aldi I can officially say that Morrisons
02:58 was the winner for me. It wasn't too over complicated and was light enough for lunch.
