There’s such a lot of variety in sandwiches now, it’s no longer the simple affair it used to be, making the task at hand quite an ordeal for us! We tried a different sandwich out of the available options at every stop.
Of course, the rating really depends on the choice of sandwich. But we stuck to some common guidelines. Obviously that of taste: no one wants a watery meal during lunch break. It also needs to be sturdy and fresh for hours, if it is to survive some knocks in the backpack or handbag.
What makes a good sandwich in your opinion? What restaurant is your pick? Do you just prefer making your own sandwiches and experimenting and innovating? Let us know!
In a bid to save your time, money and effort, we review a number of places to find the best one for you, whatever be your preferences at V Try – U Buy…
