Manchester Evening News staff have been ranking their favourite festive treats, including sandwiches and pigs in blankets.
Christmas is a time to indulge, to buy the chocolates you've been eyeing up in the shop and bake mince pies with your family. After we've battled the busy supermarket rush, the upcoming festive period means it's almost time to crack open the treats you've got stashed away. From pigs in blankets to Christmas pudding - there's a lot to look forward to and indulge in. Over at the Manchester Evening News, the team have been ranking their favourite festive treats . Here's what they thought.
Festive sandwiches If you are going to be out and about shopping, or you're still working over the Christmas period, then you might be treating yourself to a festive sandwich or two. Aldi's Turkey Feast, £1.99, was a big hit with Adam Maidment. Served on malted bread, there’s turkey, pork, sage and onion stuffing, cranberry chutney, mayonnaise, Beechwood-smoked bacon, and fried onions. 'After my first bite, I’m tempted to say it’s perhaps already my favourite of the bunch. It’s flavoursome, soft and not too dry - something which is often the case when it comes to turkey,' said Adam. 'The cranberry chutney is delightful, and the stuffing is also marvellous. I will, however, say that I was completely oblivious to there being any fried onions in my sandwich until I read the ingredients list again. Maybe there’s too much going on for it to be noticeable, because I’m sure they were there.' He was also quite fond of Tesco's Cracking Currywurst, which features sausage and onions with curry ketchup on a white sub roll, and is available as part of a Clubcard Meal Deal for £3.60. Adam said: 'Despite the abundance of flavour here, it doesn’t manage to be overpowering and the sausage was nice and tasty. It was, however, quite messy to eat - so perhaps one not for when you’re in the presence of company.' Pigs in blankets Pigs in blankets are Liv Clarke's favourite part of a Christmas dinner, which gives her some expertise in finding this year's sizzler
