The £10 Sandwich
Discussion
I love these articles clearly written by London based journalists. The prices are absurd to anyone living in the North where you can still find a pint under £5! Imagine. As for the sandwich even if it was loaded with a portion of chips it’s still nowhere near £10 in the rest of the country.

But wants you to sign up so it can ultimnately charge you £9.99 a month to read the site. Thats almost the same as the sandwich that I wouldn't pay for,hstewie said:
Festival and "captive audience" pricing has always been crazy though.
To be honest the thought of paying £10 for a bloody big freshly made sandwich like some of the ones in that article doesn't feel as outrageous as the £4.99 M&S pre-packed Prawn Sandwich does but that's just me.
Eat one every day though and that's £2500 a year on lunches and nobody usually just has a sandwich

Not just you, when this was mentioned on the radio this morning when I was out walking the dog I thought to myself, well Sainsbury's do a £5.00 Taste The Difference prawn sandwich, an extra £5.00 for a decent freshly made one doesn't sound too bad.Edited by HTP99 on Thursday 3rd November 14:22

I'm not and I never have been.I use Safari on my Mac and it just works so no idea what's going on there.
To add to conversation, local sarnie shop is doing hot Turkey, 3 chipolatas, gravy, onion, cranberry and red cabbage in a 10 inch baguette for £4.50 and it’s just… wonderful. Extra gravy for free if you want it! Can of vimto essential.

Where are you getting decent pesto for £2, have you seen the price of pine nuts?
ETA I put the ingredient cost of 200gm of nice pesto, ie no almonds, extra virgin olive oil and real parmesan at about £5.
Waitrose, Asda, Ocado, M&S etc, roughly between £1-3 a jar.ETA I put the ingredient cost of 200gm of nice pesto, ie no almonds, extra virgin olive oil and real parmesan at about £5.

Tbh I'm not a pesto connoisseur so wouldn't be able to taste/know the difference between store bought and freshly made.
However it still won't justify that sandwich for a tenner to me, whatever pesto they are using in it.
