"Mayonnaise!" Top 5 Page for this destination London Local Custom Tip by sue_stone

What is it with the British and mayonnaise!!??

95% of sandwiches that you buy in the UK are pre-made/pre-packaged. And of these, 99% have mayonnaise on them....eeeeeuuuuwwwwwwwwww!!! There ought to be a law against it....not only does it not taste great, it is fattening!! And with so many British overweight, surely cutting back on spreads would be a good start...

There are chains over London that sell these pre-made sambos - some better than others. One of the better of these such chains is Pret a Manger. These are scattered all over London, and serve sandwiches, sushi, soup, coffee & cakes. They do have a couple of choices of sandwiches without mayo - just make sure you read the ingredients list before buying. Save the calories from the mayonnaise and have one of their pecan slices instead!!
