Tesco has launched “gourmet” sandwich kits – but customers aren’t happy. The Tesco Finest kits, aimed at making premium sandwiches at home, contain all the ingredients for three sandwiches. The catch? No bread or salad included. Priced at £3.75 (£3 with Clubcard), the kits come in three flavours: Salt Beef Brisket and Emmental, Chicken and Bacon Caesar, and Wiltshire Cured Ham & Barber’s Mature Cheddar. They include fancy ingredients like British chicken breast, smoked bacon, Parmigiano Reggiano, and chutneys for a DIY sandwich experience.
But Where’s the Bread?
Shoppers quickly took to Reddit’s r/tesco thread, spotting that the Chicken and Bacon Caesar kit didn’t even come with lettuce – a must-have for the classic sandwich. The post sparked debate, with many slamming Tesco for missing the obvious.
- “This is one step too far, lol,” one user mocked.
- “And no bread! Shocker,” added another.
- A third chipped in: “I can get the no lettuce… sucks but ok. But no bread in a sandwich kit? What is even the point??”
Tesco Defends Its Choice
Some fans did defend Tesco, arguing salad would spoil quickly inside the pack. Still, most users found the idea of a sandwich kit without bread baffling. Whether you’re keen or confused, Tesco’s new sandwich kits are stirring up a right old food fight online.
