^^^the kind of loose&free attitude with money that got this country in the state it's in today.

Regressed to Gregg's, Boots Meal Deal, and home-made peanut butter and lettuce.

don't have a benugo's in 25mi of here.

Yo, kids who work in London's fashionable Central Eastern media districts: what's the deal with Fuzzy's Grub? Worth bothering with?

They do a roast dinner in a sammich, about twice the size of a Pret baguette but it costs a fiver. They can even put mash and Yorkshire puddings in it, but that's a bit filthy.

It's a bit Harvester carvery, if that floats your boat.

Anyone else been in the Pret on Great Eastern Street? It's massive and has loads of tables but there's only ever about three types of sandwich.

I think I am going for Fuzzy's Grub this lunchtime.

haha ouch fair point

Beef & Stilton sandwich is good (they do it once every 4-6 weeks i think?) but always want some worcester sauce on it

this week it's the Ham & Swiss cheese again: nice but too much mayo/pickle mess as per

OMG the blueberry muffins are fantastic. Just had one and it was warm and had gooey sauce in the middle.

gooey sauce

I have just discovered on my second Pret muffin that this is, in fact, what most people would call "jam".

Have they stopped doing the chicken & avocado salad? This is not good :(
Super duper health hummous salad is a-ok though, and I say this as a carnivorous type.

pleasing i guess

their tuna sandwiches will still suck tho

Never mind all that.

It's all about the Thai chicken soup!!!

Topside of beef is pretty good.

but would it kill them to include some salad?

Has anyone tried their cheese and onion flavoured popcorn yet?

To answer my own question, it's fucking disgusting.

It sounds awful.

There's something a bit too moist/disintegratory about the pastrami sandwich or the NYC club with the pastrami.

Red Pepper Tapenade & Soft Cheese

Malted Wholegrain Bread ★ Creamy Soft Cheese ★ Cucumber ★ Red Pepper Tapenade ★ Toasted, Flaked Almonds ★ Rocket

Red pepper tapenade (made with roasted red peppers, olive oil and tomatoes then blended into a pâté), creamy soft cheese, freshly sliced tomatoes, red peppers, toasted flaked almonds and wild rocket. Our chefs have made a bright, beautiful veggie delight for the season.

the bomb yo

Discovered the Malaysian chicken curry soup recently, annoyed that they only do it on Mondays.

i assume those meatball wraps are about as fatty as a big mac right?

Used to have the pret soup all the time, now I changed jobs and found that the new Pret is a bit further away than EAT and the EAT soups are better.

debatable

eat's lentil and bacon soup is a down-to-earth creamy lentil soup with some slight red slivers that might once have been bacon. pret's is a chunky creation with huge bits of bacon, celery, beans, tomato - basically a chunky tomato + bacon soup that one had a passing acquaintance with some lentils.

eat's off-the-shelf gyoza dumpling soups are awful. pissy weak stock, half empty cardboard pastry DUMPLINGS!.

aaaah, genuine lol there

xxxp The wrap has more calories, carbohydrate, sugar, fat and fibre, but less protein and salt according to

http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/food/nutrition/nutrition-counter.mcd

vs

http://www.pret.com/menu/hot_food/swedish_meatball_hot_wrap_3485.shtm

Not so much the gyoza ones, more the "very big" Chicken Laska and the Musroom risotto ones, particularly.

I won't go to EAT; they invited a friend of mine to interview for something like their head of menu development and strung the person along for a suspicious length of time. My friend felt like EAT were on an idea-swiping mission and were generally sketchy, so ended the process.

The chicken laksa from Hare and Tortoise is absolutely amazing, so I can't really have it from anywhere else without feeling a bit meh/cheated.

do not understand the appeal of Pret tbh... way overpriced and for some reason I always think of them as unethically corporate.

way overpriced

nah

they invited a friend of mine to interview for something like their head of menu development and strung the person along for a suspicious length of time

My guess would be that your friend was their second or third choice and they were keeping her in play just in case the first didn't play out.

This is still the king, even if the bread does occasionally have the consistency of moon rock.

You can get nicer sandwiches at slighlty lower prices from M&S and not-much-worse sandwiches at much lower prices from supermarkets. Makes Pret seem a bit wanky and redundant in my eyes. Should I give em another shot?

'nicer' is subjective, maybe the distinctive pret flavour ambience is not to your taste. but pret sandwiches are generally 2.99-3.99. are m+s really cheaper than that?

m&s are pretty cheap...i like m&s a lot i have to say, esp if you want to break the sandwich's despotic rule and have like some empanadas and a salad or whatev

The basic tomato and brie baguette is secretly the best Pret sandwich.

They stopped selling this (in the three branches I've checked) two weeks ago! Massive betrayal.

I had severe stomach cramps and badly upset digestion from a brie and tomato baguette from Pret twice last month, and have now abandoned buying it. I wonder if they've had complaints.

They need to make sure they keep those baguettes at the right temperature.

seems bad
