Not like some of those crappy oversized loves with a paper thin sheet of meat or cheese. No, these were real sandwiches, and I looked forward to them each evening.
I have found this to be true all over Europe, especially the UK. There is a Shell station I regularly stop at just off of the M25 on my way back to Heathrow for a couple of bottles of water (rehydration from the night before) and a chicken and bacon sandwich. It is amazing how good and fresh they are.
Great post!
