Christmas was approaching so there was only one thing to do – find another Christmas sandwich at Market Halls. Tell me you do the same?
So it was the turn of From The Ashes Parilla – I’ve eaten their food before and always been impressed.
Alas, this was a bit underwhelming – a bit like Christmas Day when you are an adult.
So it turns up as a ciabatta (ish) sandwich cut in half with a bowl of gravy.
Said gravy was cold and didn’t really taste of anything.
The bread was pretty good quality to be fair, a little crispy on the outside.
The bacon was very crispy – too much for my tastes, the sausages decent enough but were still kind of ordinary, not a herby butcher’s sausage that you might expect. Or at least hope for at Christmas. Maybe I really was badly behaved this year. Maybe Santa is actually my CEO and he has seen that I hate commuting.
Turkey slices were reasonable, quite tender and juicy for turkey.
It’s a tricky one to judge From The Ashes Parilla from their Christmas sandwich – really the correct thing to do is to go to their smoker at The Five Points Courtyard and order the short-rib.
This was never going to live up to that, but I do feel more effort and love could have been put into this Christmas sandwich.
My score is a 6.1 out of 10. But it is just one sandwich…they are far better than this.
