Shoppers find a big problem with Boots' Pigs Under Blankets Christmas sandwich

A new Christmas sandwich from Boots has been slammed as anything but festive.

The Pigs Under Blankets is one of six new sarnies included in the retailer's festive menu. But the 'no cranberry sauce' label has had shoppers questioning whether it's just a normal sausage and bacon butty.

A photo of the sandwich was shared in a popular foodie Facebook group where it's attracted thousands of comments - few of them complimentary.

"So it's a sausage and bacon sarnie.... How do they come up with these ideas," said one.

"Amazing! A sausage and bacon sandwich. What a genius idea. I never thought of that before," said another.

"All good apart from no cranberry sauce!!!" added a third. "Anything Christmassy has to have cranberry sauce!!!!"

Others criticised the £3.15 price tag, saying: "Sausage and bacon sandwich at an inflated price...that's what Christmas is all about these days."

The other sandwiches featured in the limited edition range include Shapers Turkey Cranberry & Stuffing, Vegan No Turkey Feast, Christmas Triple, Turkey Feast and Brie & Cranberry.

You can get them as part of the £3.99 meal deal - with a drink and a snack - or the meal deal is even cheaper, £3.60, if you have a Boots Advantage Card.
