YALS (yet another lovely sandwich)

when i came back from my trip, i was shocked to see that the baker's oven had transmogrified into a greggs. panic set in as i realised i may never see one of my beloved mango chicken sandwiches again.

all is not lost, today i saw a lone 'roll' in their cabinet - some sort of christmas themed filling: turkey, stuffing and cranberry. that final touch is a stroke of genius -- cutting through what might otherwise be quite a stodgy mixture. i love a good stuffing, and you can't go wrong with some moist turkey. i snapped it up in a hurry, and wasn't disappointed... absolutely delicious. my only worry? this is a seasonal sandwich, and not likely to be around in a few months. get it while you can.

late edit -- joy of joys, there is also crispy bacon in here. does life get any better than this?

at christmas, i'm going to recreate this with some 'real' turkey, stuffing etc. from the xmas dinner leftovers. that is going to be great while i wallow in front of only fools and horses on boxing day.

of course, i might add my own touch. how about some sliced chipolata sausages? bliss! it needs a name. i suggest 'The Gobble' in light of the turkey undertones.

There was a sandwich shop in Oxford that did a hot turkey, stuffing and cranberry ciabatta. They gave it you in one of those foil wrappers so it stayed hot. Divine.
I think the addition of sausage and gravy(?) could be sublime.
Maybe even a sprout - although they give me dodgy guts!
