It is the season for choosing whether to freeze on the way to work and cope with the office temperature, or cope with the outside temperature and boil in the office.
And it is also the season for Christmas sandwiches – this week at 20ft Fried Chicken.
Or Crimbmo Sando’s, if you are linguistically challenged.
Sadly they’d run out of stuffing, for the Crimbo Sando (please don’t make me type this again), though I still fancied that more than the Pigs in Blanket burger that seems to have no pigs in blankets, from what I can see.
However, stuffing was replaced with an extra chicken tender, so all was not lost, apart from the spirit of Christmas. Sorry, spirit of Crimbo.
So I had to use a knife and fork, which given my distaste of the spelling of sandwich, you might not be too surprised by.
The chicken tenders were excellent – juicy and perfectly cooked. There was some kind of spicy sauce, tomato-ish perhaps – unexpected too.
Cabbage was softly braised, the bread a bit basic – with missing crusts. Why? Or do sando’s not have crusts on all 4 sides?
Finally, the only bit which perhaps remained Christmas-ish, the chicken gravy which looked weird and there was far too little of, but also was quite heavenly in a minimal way. Lots of chicken fat going on in that gravy.
Rating? Oh I don’t know…7 out of 10 perhaps? I’d go again to 20ft Fried Chicken, but I love fried chicken nearly half as much as working from home.
