Tesco shoppers love new limited ‘greasy spoon caff’ sandwich flavor

TESCO has become “greasy spoon café” by serving a limited edition ham, egg and fries sandwich.

The supermarket’s latest sarnie, filled with the classic British favourite, hits shelves this week for £3.

It consists of white bread topped with beechwood smoked ham, egg mayonnaise, fries with salt and vinegar and ketchup.

Shoppers went all out online, with one commenting: “I’m not a fan of supermarket sandwiches but I’m on a mission to get my hands on one now.”

Another said: “It’s the best thing you can do when you’re having coffee. It tasted delicious! Eat it with construction tea!”

Others turned their noses up at the thought of cold potatoes, adding: “Who thought this would be a good combination?”

The 421-calorie sandwich contains more than a quarter of the daily allowance of salt (1.65 g) and almost a fifth of the recommended fat (13.1 g).

It is also available in all stores as part of a £3.40 Clubcard meal deal.

Tesco sandwich maker Sarah Bryer said: “We think it could become a breakfast classic.

“We know how loved the chip butty is by the nation, and we’ve seen a huge wave of people admitting their guilty pleasure of a crispy sandwich on social media, paired with the British pub’s favorite ham, egg and chips.

“The mini salt and vinegar fries add a crunch to the beechwood smoked ham and the thick, rich egg mayonnaise.”

The sarnie is part of a new ‘global cuisine’ range, including a Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese Wrap and a Korean-inspired spicy Gochujang Chicken Sub.
