Tesco has launched a new range of Tesco Finest Sandwich kits, designed for shoppers who want to build their own sandwiches with single-serving ingredients. The kits, available in Birmingham branches and nationwide, allow customers to create three sandwiches using pre-portioned components.
What Are the Tesco Finest Sandwich Kits?
The kits are priced at £3.75, but currently on offer for £3 with a Tesco Clubcard. Shoppers can choose from three flavor combinations: Salt Beef Brisket and Emmental, Chicken and Bacon Caesar, and Wiltshire Cured Ham & Barber's Mature Cheddar.
The Salt Beef Brisket and Emmental pack includes salt beef brisket, Emmental cheese, sweet gherkin relish, and American-style mustard. The Chicken and Bacon Caesar kit contains British chicken breast slices, beechwood smoked bacon, Italian Parmigiano Reggiano, and Caesar dressing. The Wiltshire Cured Ham & Barber's Mature Cheddar kit features apple wood smoked ham, Barber's mature cheddar, red onion chutney, and Dijon mustard dressing.
Mixed Reactions on Social Media
Not all shoppers are convinced. One commented, "Just buy a loaf of bread and the ingredients. What's the point apart from creating more waste packaging? A product nobody needs." Another added, "Might as well buy it all separately if you have to make it yourself. The whole idea of the sandwich is for on the move."
However, some see value. A shopper wrote, "As a coeliac, I like the idea of putting the filling in GF bread." Another said, "Good idea. Get whatever bread you want to. Anyway, you don't get chicken, veg or cheese in an enchilada kit, do you?"
One shopper noted, "It's great for those of us who live alone and want a variety instead of buying individual ingredients and having the same sandwich for several days." Another called it "sounds so nice" and predicted it "will be nice."
