With tuna filling

Fresh! Cote d'Azur, £2.60, 020 8795 2117

An extremely tasty combination of ingredients. Could do with a bit more tuna, but it's still delicious.
5 stars

EAT Tuscan tuna, £2.60, 020 7636 8309

Bountiful filling, it looks and smells lovely and the flavours are great. Everything about this sandwich is just right.
5 stars

Pret a Manger classic tuna, £2.30, 0845 205 0000

The tuna is very nice, moist and tastes fresh. The tuna and salad ratio is good.
4 stars

Marks & Spencer tuna and sweetcorn, £1.55

A nice sandwich. I like the fact that the tuna is flaked and not all mixed up with mayonnaise.
3 stars

BLT

EAT, £2.60

There's so much bacon, it's practically falling out! It's nicely cooked and the lettuce and tomato ratio is good. Very nice.
5 stars

Pret a Manger, £2.60
This is a really good sandwich. It looks great, there is a lot of tasty bacon in it and the bread has just the right softness.
4 stars

Tesco, £1.60

Nice amount of filling and the bacon smells and tastes nice. Nothing special, but absolutely fine.
3 stars

Sainsbury's, £2

The lettuce is nice and crunchy, but the mayo is too vinegary, the bacon is too fatty and the bread has a strange texture.
1 star

With ham filling

Fresh! Fat b.....d (organic ham and Somerset brie), £3.20

Very good quality ingredients. The brie is nice and runny and the ham is tasty.
5 stars

EAT ham with brie and honey mustard, £2.80

The ham has a nice sweet-cured flavour, which goes well with the brie.
4 stars

Tesco fresh smoked ham and goats' cheese, £2.70

The bread is dry and the ham is too wet. But the sweet pickle and goats' cheese make it taste nice.
3 stars

Caffè Nero gammon ham and mature cheddar, £2.50, 020 7520 5150

The ham is good and I can taste the cheese, but it's all a bit too dry. It's a generous portion, though.
3 stars

With egg filling

Pret a Manger egg and tomato on rye, £1.80

Lots of egg and a good amount of mayo. I like the caraway seeds in the bread and it's well seasoned.
4 stars

Waitrose delicatessen free- range egg and salad, £1.50

Beautiful, soft and moist bread. It looks like a homemade sandwich, which I like.
4 stars

Fresh! Egg-citable organic, £1.95

The egg looks good and yellow, like a real farm egg, and it tastes lovely. The bread is good as well.
4 stars

Sainsbury's egg, mayonnaise, cress, 90p

The bread is dry, the egg tastes old and there's hardly any mayonnaise in the mix.
1 star

With veggie filling

Boots Greek feta cheese salad, £2.40

Lots of nice filling. Good olives and fresh basil ,and they have been generous with the feta.
4 stars

Pret a Manger hummous and salad, £2.40

Soft bread and lots of filling. The hummous has a good texture and I like the cumin flavour.
4 stars

M&S avocado and spinach, £2.40

One of the nicest-looking sandwiches so far and it's well-made, but personally I don't like all that avocado.
3 stars

Fresh! Bugsy (organic carrot and hummous), £1.99

This scares me, it's far too healthy. It's well-made, but I just don't like the filling. Some sultanas would help.
1 star

With salmon filling

M&S poached salmon and watercress, £2.90

Very good salmon filling, nice dill mayonnaise and the bread is fresh. Good mix of ingredients.
4 stars

Waitrose wild red salmon and cucumber, £1.50

Reminds me of my nan's sandwiches. Nice bread, nice filling and good quality salmon. Bloody delicious.
4 stars

EAT smoked salmon, £2.80 Generous portion of good oily salmon. Great black pepper seasoning. Very nice.
4 stars

Sainsbury's be good to yourself salmon and cucumber, £1.40

Shrivelled cucumbers, dull salmon and it lacks seasoning. Very poor.
1 star

With seafood filling

Waitrose crayfish and rocket, £2.90

Fantastic! It's bursting full of great big pieces of crayfish. Well-seasoned and the flavours are just great.
5 stars

EAT prawn cocktail, £2.60

It tastes really prawny and the dressing is good. It's a bit dry, but overall it's a rather tasty sandwich.
3 stars

M&S prawn and mayonnaise, £1.55

Tastes like a processed prawn sandwich. It's bland and flavourless.
No stars

Tesco seafood cocktail, £1.30

Like mashed crabsticks in thousand island dressing. Horrible.
No stars
