Out of convenience/laziness (and because I think they're really tasty), I've been eating lots of ready-made pasties/slices/pies recently .  I also tried some dandelion & burdock soda this weekend.  And my favorite, go-to readymade sandwich is the ploughman.

Have I gone: native? :hmm:

By the sounds of it more so than most of the locals.  :P

Yesterday for lunch: pulled pork burrito with extra guac and habanero/lime salsa.

Today: cordon bleu with fries.

At my office after court, need something to eat.  Our cafeteria is still kind-of running.  I decide to get a pre-packaged sandwich.  I spot a bagel and egg salad sandwich.  I think 'that sounds yummy - I haven't had an egg salad in forever'.

What a disappointing sandwich.  Turns out egg salad is a poor sandwich filling for a bagel.  It's dense, so it requires a little more force to eat.  But apply force to an egg salad sandwich means immediately half the salad squirted out the sides.

Then, I'm not quite sure what kind of bagel that was (closer inspection - cinnamon and raisin), but it had a sweet taste profile that went horribly with the egg salad.  Yuck.

I'm actually mad - that's how bad that sandwich was.

You should find a competent lawyer and sue.

I used to eat egg salad on bagels often when I had access to good bagels. :huh:

How do you solve the dense bagel vs loose filling conundrum?
