easy dinner

being the lazy uni student that i am, i really didn't want to cook last night. i was walking past the shop inside the main building and saw some sandwiches in the fridge, so i figured i'd pick one up. after all, i didn't have much food left in my own fridge, and it looked really delicious from what the description said. it's an organic ready-packed sandwich called "tastes of the souk" (£2.85).



the sandwich is filled with "moroccan spiced chicken with coriander houmous, roasted lemon and peppers, olives and rocket". judging by how things are spelled and how many words seem foreign, it's definitely not a typical american sandwich. a quick translation: "morrocan spiced chicken with cilantro hummus, roasted lemon, peppers, olives and arugula".

overall, it was quite delicious. the chicken was well prepared and they gave you enough - could've been more, but it was adequate. what surprised me was the lemon; somehow, i had read the description as "lemon juice", but it's actually full on grilled lemon slices! it wasn't appetizing. you'd bite into the sandwich, enjoy the savoury taste of the chicken and hummus, and then .. "what's that bitter tough thing??"



see the orange thing? that's not chicken, that's grilled lemon rind. once i pulled all the slices out, the sandwich became much better and made a good dinner. i did get hungry after a while though, so it might be better suited for lunch. not too shabby for £2.85, though for that price i would've preferred a grilled panini (:
