Sandwich review: BBQ Pulled Pork by Ginsters

The official description for this sandwich is:

"British pulled pork with BBQ sauce, ranch dressing and fresh spinach leaves on white bread"

'Pulled pork' is the current culinary obsession, so it was only a matter of time before it turned up in sandwiches too.  I gave this limited edition offering from Ginsters a try, and found it to be overall quite pleasant.

The pork meat was tender and flavoursome (something which not all sandwich meat manages), and the BBQ sauce had a nice balance of sweet, yet tangy.  I also enjoyed the inclusion of the spinach leaves, which lived up to description of 'fresh' and added a crunchy salad texture to the sandwich (again, sandwich salad leaves have often reached a 'limp and wilted' state by the time they are consumed - not so, in this case).

The only element of this sandwich which disappointed was the ranch dressing - which I could barely taste at all.  I saw no sign of this as ate the sandwich - this may, however, have been something of a blessing in disguise, as it seemed a somewhat incongruous addition to an otherwise fairly cohesive sandwich recipe, and I am not sure what exactly it would have added, had it been present.

Overall, I enjoyed this sandwich, and I would buy it again.
