Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Tesco Cost: £1 Found at: Tesco There has been nothing more wonderful during this time of quarantine than eating a sandwich that I did not make. I know that I am being ungrateful – I love to cook and I love that I now have time to cook. Like so many others, I’ve... Continue Reading →
Brand: Sainsbury’s On the Go Cost: £3 Found at: Sainsbury’s This is one of those snacks that feels like it was created by a marketing team with a dartboard of buzzwords. It’s got pickles, it’s got root vegetables, it’s got turmeric – it’s got so many healthy things that you cannot call yourself health... Continue Reading →
Brand: Tesco Cost: £1 (with £3 lunch deal) Found at: Tesco This is my comfort sandwich. On those days when I’m feeling sick or frustrated or just plain hangry (I am a slave to my blood sugar, as Emil can attest). It’s got everything I need: fat, carbohydrates… eggs. It does not get soggy by... Continue Reading →
Brand: Wasa Cost: 7.95 Found at: ICA Yaaaaaas! 110% expected to hate this. It’s a shelf-stable sandwich made of cracker bread and “vegan oat filling.” What’s to like?

Brand: UK British Pork Cost: £1 Found at: Sainsbury’s This sausage roll has all the flavor of an unseasoned, grey tube of meat wrapped in dry puff pastry. Because that is what it is. A grey, flavorless cylinder of pork off-cuts that has been unceremoniously shoved into a stale pie curst package. Where is... Continue Reading →
Brand: Kakukyuu Cost: 324 yen Found at: Lawson One of the staple flavors of Nagoya food culture is that of red miso. Red miso, unlike the white and yellow varieties, is made with more soybeans and aged for longer, giving it a stronger, earthier umami taste. As I have a significant salt bias, it’s...

Brand: 7-11 Cost: 297 yen Found at: 7-11 I don’t know if a strawberry whipped-cream sandwich represents my life peaking or hitting rock bottom. I suppose it depends on which organ you ask. And while it may have dealt a coup de graceto my long-suffering pancreas, it was nevertheless amazing. It’s the dream lunch... Continue Reading →
Brand: M&T Cost: 385 Found At: Mini Stop It is not every day that I get to splurge on the fancy sandwiches at the Mini Stop, but I am so glad that I did. This sandwich set was hands-down incredible. Convenience store sandwiches are already solidly delicious (the tonkatsu - pork cutlet - and egg... Continue Reading →
