Day 11 - Egg cress sandwich

Another classic sandwich. But not really one you can get too excited about. Egg, mayonnaise and cress. Simple, but effetive. This one was purchased from the Camden Food Company and was better than the average egg cress sandwich because the cress was actually peppery large English cress, not the tasteless tiny cress you usually get. The eggs were not over boiled which meant the yolk was not too chalky. But at the end of the day it's just an egg cress sandwich.

Day 6 - Part 1 - Sister's breakfast sandwich

As I was staying with my sister, she offered to make me a sandwich for breakfast. Which was nice of her. I said I would review it honestly and not pull any punches, which is nice of me. So, if I'm beng honest, on a whole, I did not like this sandwich. First of all, most fried egg sandwiches I've ever had or seen have just one egg in them. This one had two. In addition, it had lots of cheese and a couple of slices of chorizo. The sheer quantity of food meant that the flavours got lost in each other. The idea was good but there were too many faults, the most critical one being that the eggs was overlooked and under seasoned. One less egg, one slice of cheese and chorizo, some hot sauce and black pepper would have propelled this sandwich to a good standing, instead it fell short of average. Sorry sis.
