ONE of the best things about Christmas is the grub.<\/p>\n
And, as a self-confessed festive<\/span> nut, when the red and green packaging hits the supermarket fridges and the new seasonal sarnies arrive I am first in line.<\/p>\n This year M&S have an intriguing new line-up of lunch-time lovelies, from a vegan Christmas sandwich to mini<\/span> sausages with gravynaise – yes, you read that right.<\/p>\n And many of the lunch-time staples have the added benefit of helping charity, with five per cent of profits going to Shetler.<\/p>\n So as chief elf in the Scottish Sun office, I felt it was my duty to test the range<\/span> – and it didn't disappoint. <\/p>\n THIS is a buttery brioche take on the traditional BLT sarnie.<\/p>\n Served in a shiny, glazed roll it's packed with bacon and thick slices of brie cheese with a tomato and cranberry chutney.<\/p>\n The bacon itself is super tasty but – and I can't believe I'm saying this – there was actually too much cheese for me, so it made it a bit sickly.<\/p>\n This is definitely one for dairy fans.<\/p>\n I HAVE to say, this is the one I was least looking forward to as I'm not a fan of too much heat.<\/p>\n <\/picture>STRICT EXIT <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>‘DEEPLY OFFENSIVE’ <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>NOT ON <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>FESTIVE FEE <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n But it was delish.<\/p>\n The wrap is filled with piri piri spiced 100 per cent British chicken, chorizo style stuffing, red cabbage slaw, umami mayo and hot cranberry sauce.<\/p>\n It was spicy but in a really pleasant way and it was also packed full of flavour. This is exceeded expectations.<\/p>\n IF you're a fan of Christmas lunch, this is the sandwich for you.<\/p>\n It's got the works, roast turkey, pork, sage and onion stuffing, onion mayo, cranberry chutney and smoked bacon all served on malted brown bread.<\/p>\n Often festive sarnies are overpowering, with sage the dominant flavour, but this is tasty and subtle. One of the best festive sarnies I've had.<\/p>\n EVERYONE knows the pigs in blankets are the best part of Christmas dinner – and I'll hear no arguments.<\/p>\n This sarnie takes the trimming and stuffs it in a sandwich. There's British pork sausages, seasoned mayonnaise, red onion and ruby port chutney and smoked bacon.<\/p>\n It's a triumph – it's really moreish and meaty. And it was my winner of all new festive range.<\/p>\n I LOVED this twist on a traditional club sandwich.<\/p>\n It was packed with succulent roast chicken and maple cured bacon along with seasoned mayo, cranberry chutney, pickled red cabbage and cranberry stuffing.<\/p>\n Again, there's a risk of these filled sarnies being sickly, but this had a great balance of flavour and certainly didn't scrimp on the poultry. I'm happy to join this club.<\/p>\n THIS is one for the vegans.<\/p>\n In a change from the usual fake turkey festive fillings, it has roasted butternut squash with pickled red cabbage, rocket pesto, pumpkin seed dressing and spinach inside.<\/p>\n I am usually a fan of plant-based options but this wasn't my favourite. The squash was sweet and tasty while the dressing was delicious but the spinach gave it too much of a bitter aftertaste for my liking. <\/p>\n THESE little cocktail sausages are a seriously addictive snack.<\/p>\n
