“I honestly didn’t try all of them, so that’s why these get such a low score. I did enjoy the roast beef sandwich, but that was the only one I tried, so if your looking for a true rating, definitely read what Jeremiah has to say!”

Jeremiah’s Rating:5 out of 10

“I liked the egg and curry powder sandwich the best. The one I liked the least was the blue cheese and apple, and the other two were just ok. If I ate it again, I would prefer to have more thinly sliced bread.”
