Verde & Co - update

Since my quest finished, I have been back to Verde twice for sandwiches and been provided with salad.

The salads are just superb - I had chicken and guacamole. There was a large pile of the "filling" and loads of lettuce and beef tomatoes. There was a dressing which I really didn't notice - it was definitely there, but it did not overpower what was in the box, which is what a dressing should do. There was pepper, and that added a nice spiciness to the whole thing. V impressed.

I recently had the chorizo and mozzarella with sweet chilli sauce, having heard someone downstairs order it on the phone. This just has to be the tastiest sandwich I have had in years (previously date and banana on brown in 1979 from a sandwich bar in Bognor Regis......Don’t ask!). The sweet chilli sauce added a sweetness that merged all the other flavours together. A colleague mentioned that he was not keen on mozzarella - that doesn't matter, as you don't get that specific taste. Absolutely fantastic!

I have said before that the queue at the Thai Hut says it all for that establishment. The number of Verde boxes I see on desks in the office says it all for Verde. This must be the sandwich shop of choice for our company.
