Finally, a Christmas sandwich with potential. We have before us one celebrating Brussels sprouts, Grinch-coloured and bold. Inside are sprouts prepared in various ways, stuffing, cheese, and the whole thing is to be dipped in gravy. Rest assured it’s no better than the rest — they are almost all over-seasoned, oversweet and hopeless — but it’s priced at just 99p, so there we have it.
Called the "sproutwich," it is the work of “Deliveroo Editions,” the delivery app’s internal food unit. There are innumerable brands within it. And so if you feel unaffected by the recent ruling by Judge Vivien Rose of the Supreme Court that said Deliveroo riders cannot be classed as “workers” and do not have the ability to form a union — which means there remains no representative acting on behalf of riders to negotiate improved pay, working hours, and holiday entitlement — then away you go: the sproutwich would make for an inoffensive and cost-effective lunch.
