Advantages: none

Disadvantages: not verty nice really poor texture

I wanted something for hubbies and my work sandwiches. I had got bored of the same old things and noted some Haslet in the packed cold meat section .Its ages since we had Haslet. So since it was very cheap 64p for 125g = 51p per 100g I decided to buy it thought we could save some money too.

For those of you who do not know Haslet is a seasoned and cooked pork roll. The pork is a bit like sausage meat I suppose.

This Haslet came in a plastic vacuumed packet . The Haslet in round slices were a brown colour with a few flecks lighter and darker brown in it.

I seem to remember there were about 8 slices in the pack. Lifting a slice onto my slice of bread I noticed it was very soft and soggy was not too impressed I fell to pieces too easily. I could have added some salad to my Haslet sandwich but I had none.
At work I ate my sandwich to be honest I was not impressed it was slightly spiced a bit herby containing Onion Purée, Onion Powder, Black Pepper, Basil, Marjoram, Oregano, Thyme, Coriander Extract, Nutmeg Extract, Pepper Extract, Sage Extract, Thyme Extract. The herby mixture taste was ok, not good though not very strong flavour. The other ingredients were 70% pork, water, wheat flour honey, potato starch, yeast extract and some preservatives.

There are 220 kcal per 100g.
This meat needs to be refridgerated and eaten within 2 days of opening and before the use by date .

Sorry Tesco the taste was ok ish but there was no bite to the meat I shall not be buying this Haslet again. This Haslet was not like my memory of Haslet bought from the butchers I guess I shall perhaps try another Haslet one day from a different source .

Summary: A cheap sliced spiced pork roll
