'I tried the new Subway Christmas menu - one sandwich had a delicious surprise'

Subway has launched their new festive menu for December 2022 to get you in the mood for Christmas dinner.

The special menu includes Festive Turkey Stack, Dipping Gravy, V.I.Brie SubMelt and Sticky Toffee Pudding Cookie. We thought the new sandwiches and cookie sounded pretty tempting (and the gravy sounded....interesting) so we decided to taste it for ourselves.

First we tried the Festive Turkey Stack with the dipping gravy. This sandwich is packed with plenty of fillings and trimmings, including turkey slices, maple smoked streaky bacon, peppers, lettuce, onions and one very surprising ingredient - hash browns!

I love hash browns so finding them in a turkey sandwich was an absolute delight. It really gives you the taste of Christmas dinner.

But what about the dipping gravy? This is definitely something I was a little unsure about. Gravy on Christmas dinner yes! But on a sandwich?

Well it turned out the gravy was actually pretty decent. It definitely adds a lot of flavour to the sandwich but it was slightly on the heavy side for me so I didn't finish it. Subway provided a very generous portion so if you have a big appetite you'll love it.

Next up I tried the Brie melt which was really tasty and I'll definitely be ordering again. This is a toasted sandwich with streaky bacon, Brie and American-style cheese, caramelised red onion, and sweet onion sauce. If you love cheese and chutney on crackers then this is the sandwich for you.

Finally, the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cookie. I have to admit this was the main reason I wanted to test out the menu - and I wasn't disappointed. Subway cookies are always amazing but this was extra special. The soft, chewy texture and indulgent flavour of toffee was divine.
