Author: Sandwich of the week this is week is festive themed.
Turkey and Stuffing sandwich is approximately 300 calories. However if you like to add cranberry sauce that is about 190 calories per ½ cup, I can’t do the maths but it’s probably another 20 or so calories added to your sandwich. This sandwich is great to make you feel Christmassy and is a great teaser for the real thing on Christmas day! I love a turkey sandwiches (but funnily enough only at Christmas). Also turkey is much better for you than chicken as it is a leaner meat with less fat. My suggestion is try it hot with a dipping of gravy on the side! Perfect to warm you up on a weekday lunchtime at the office.

With the weather turning really cold and with the fast approach of Christmas I thought Sandwich of the Week could be themed this week.
Hot Pork and Apple Sauce sandwich.
This has to be one of my all time favourite sandwiches. I only treat myself on special occasions though! Like the German Christmas Markets in Manchester, or on Bonfire Night (bit disappointed this year when there were only burgers and hot dogs on offer).
It has to be one of the best comfort foods, warm pork from proper Hog Roast and lovely apple sauce to accompany. It needs to be served on a warm, slightly toasted bap with a small bit of butter on.
Lovely.
However the calories are not. A pork sandwich is approximately 323 calories and with apple sauce it bumps it up to 518 calories.
Sandwich of the week is BLT
BLT (Bacon, lettuce and tomato) is an old classic. Rumoured to have been of invented in Victorian times as a ‘tea sandwich’ the BLT became more popular after the 2nd World War with the increased popularity of the Supermarket. The growth of the supermarket made the ingredients of the BLT more accessible all year round. The shorthand abbreviation is most likely to be an Americanism.
Classically the BLT is a couple of slices of bacon (crispy), lettuce leaves, slices of tomatoes usually with mayonnaise to accompany. It is usually served on toasted bread. In cook books in the 1930s and 50s is shown as being served with cheese also.
It is listed as being one of the most popular sandwiches in the USA, coming 2nd to the ham sandwich.
Watch out though because the BLT packs a whopping 550 calories(approximately)!
