BLT

Marks & Spencer BLT on malted bread
205g, £2.75
Good flavours and substantial filling. It's nicely packed with ingredients and the lettuce has a satisfying crunch.
★★★★

Eat BLT
204g, £2.99
They've used a high quality smoked bacon here but it's lacking some mayo. As a rule, I'd also say mesclun lettuce doesn't work in sandwiches.
★★★★

Pret a Manger Beech smoked BLT on granary
247g, £2.99
Nice ingredients but could do with more crunch to the lettuce, which is important to a BLT. Bread is good and soft.
★★★

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference BLT
197g, £3
There's plenty of bacon and the hit of dried tomato gives this a nice punch. The lettuce lets it down.
★★★

Ham and cheese

Waitrose Good to Go smoked ham and cheese
£2
A simple and tasty ham and cheese sandwich. The ham is a little smoky and complements the cheese.
★★★★

Tesco Finest ham hock and mature cheddar
210g, £2.50
The ham looks excellent – like it's come off the hock. As a whole, however, it is a bit soggy in texture.
★★★

Morrisons Ham and cheese
192g, £1.60
Looks like not a lot of ham with a little lettuce, cheese and some pickle. The pickle jazzes up good base flavours, but the meat is lacking.
★★★

Asda Ham and cheese
206g, £1.50
The ham looks and tastes processed – there's not an awful lot of flavour so you end up tasting only the pickle.
★★

Egg mayo

Boots Shapers egg mayonnaise and cress
219g, £1.50
Needs more filling. Plain and could do with some oomph! I like the flecks of cress.
★★

Pret a Manger Free range egg mayo on granary
191g, £1.60
Lacking in mayo and underseasoned. I like the chunky pieces of egg but want more.
★★

Waitrose Good to Go egg mayo
£1.45
This is boring and, again, needs more mayo. The bread is soft and seems to be good quality.
★★

Greggs Egg mayo on oatmeal
166g, £1.15
The egg is very finely chopped and unappetising to look at. There's a dull taste. Needs more mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
