W1Ate – Planet Organic Raw BLT Sandwich
I try to take a packed lunch and breakfast to work as much as possible but there are inevitably days when I forget or when I’m in town in the evening as well and need to get food. So, I’m going to start a new series called W1Ate about things I have eaten within the radius of my workplace, W1A. This will sometimes be a sandwich from a supermarket, sometimes just a coffee, sometimes more substantial outings. Sometimes it’ll be adventurous, sometimes very safe. it’ll always be pretty brief!
What: Raw BLT sandwich from Raw Imagination “A classic reinvented. With a generous portion of coconut chips tossed in olive oil, smoked paprika, and maple syrup. Accompanied by crispy lettuce and juicy tomato to hold true to its famous name.”
How much: £5ish – can’t remember exactly but remember thinking it was pretty steep
Notes: I thought I’d fully embrace the Planet Organic style and go for a raw-vegan offering. The “bread” was firm and flat – closer to a crispbread than normal bread. As a while the sandwich was enjoyable and tasty. Ingredients very fresh and crunchy but somewhere in the mix there was WAY too much onion. I spent the rest of the evening holding my hand infront of my face. A shame as it was an intriguing and enjoyable mix of textures.
Where: Planet Organic, 22 Torrington Place, London WC1E 7HJ, United Kingdom
Distance from W1A: 0.6 miles
Scores
Taste: 3/10 (caused by the onion)
Value for money: 5/10 I realise good ingredients cost money and raw food is harder to manufacture, but that much seems a lot for a sandwich.
I bought the sandwich with my own money. All views are my own.
