The Jason Plato Sandwich - A Review

Little did we know, as fans of the BTCC, that Jason Plato's actual number one past time was not over-taking Matt Neal, flying helicopters nor drinking KX energy drinks (or was that a bottle of water I spotted at Oulton....?). No, it turns out our Plato loves a good sandwich. A self-proclaimed "King of Sandwiches" none the less.

Plato - On Sale Amongst The Ginsters

Available in Tesco fuel stations as part of the "exclusive" Deli range, the Jason Plato special is a ham and coleslaw sandwich. Nothing special there then apart from the added Jalapeno mayonnaise. I got it wrong anyway. This is not merely ham but Smoked Ham and not ordinary coleslaw but Crunchy Coleslaw. Not sure what that says about non-Jason Plato Tesco coleslaw if it isn't normally crunchy....

After an initial lag to the taste, about 10 seconds after the first bite, things soon spool up as the hot jalapeno mayonnaise soon smacks your taste buds with all the subtlety of a Plato love tap at Clearways. (Waheey! See what I did there.....boost and overtaking puns, I really should take up this cuisine review lark.) It doesn't blow your face off like a hot curry, but by the end of the sandwich a drink is advised. I had a glass of apple, strawberry & lychee juice, but ordinary water could also be used.

All in all, £2 for a sandwich of this ilk from a fuel station is quite reasonable. The granary bread sets off the whole taste sensation. However minus marks must be awarded for the rather smug looking image of Jason on the rear of the packaging
