I’m a big fan of Christmas sandwiches, and some of the Sligo businesses are serving lovely ones, and not just sandwiches, there are some loads fries, and more on offer. I put a call out on my social media channels, not too many of the businesses got back to me, but a few readers did, and here are the suggestions, plus some that I spotted too.
Tank & Skinny’s are serving a selection of Festive specials, and there’s one for vegetarians too (which sounds amazing!) A special mention for them because they gave me their Christmas Club Sandwich to try (pictured above), and it was fabulous. You can read all the details below:
Pink Clover in Drumcliffe have a Festive Focaccia – they make their own bread too (and it’s amazing). Succulent Irish Turkey, The finest Irish Ham, Apricot & Cranberry Stuffing, Melted Brie Cheese, Dressed Leaves, Spiced Cranberry Mayonnaise
