BreadOven,

That’s like $13 up here in Canada. But I’d assume they have the same sandwiches here. But wow, that’s outrageous.

Vexer77,

That’s twice as much cheese & ham as the ones in the U. S., which cost about the same.

UnD3Rgr0uNDCL0wN,

My work’s cafeteria had sandwiches like that. Something like £5-6 a sandwich. People dont buy food in there now unless they’re desperate. Colleague bought chilli con carne in there the other week as he didnt have time to prepare his own food. It was like gravel

Beowulf,

The secret is to use pork when you make Carne con chile

UnD3Rgr0uNDCL0wN,

In our case the secret was not to leave it on the boiler until all the water had evapourated,

You don’t buy Starbucks food for the value. You do it cause there’s one on the way to work/school.

debuglazy,

You’re a union hating boot licking nazi cop if you support starbucks

Nioxic,

Dont buy food in a shitty ciffee shop… lol

Just slap a label on it like with artisan bread and any hipster out there will grab it up yum…

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

You literally bought it, stfu

Sharpiemarker,

Because in Starbucks, you get to look at the sandwich before you buy it… oh wait that’s not right.

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

So u buy stuff without looking at them?? HAHAHA? Nice flex bro HAHAHA

Sharpiemarker,

You do know how prepackaged food works right? You buy it, they take it out of the package and heat it up or serve it to you… it’s behind the counter. You don’t get to pick one out and ask for it. Dumbass…

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

U buy stuff without knowing what it is but im the dumbass one HAHAHAH daddy is paying it’s alright, spoiled brat

MonkderZweite,

This is not a sandwich.

MonkeRider,

This is sandwich, but not for 8£ maybe 20 whatever they use in UK I’ll just say cents or even less than that

MonkderZweite,

No, it’s just bread and cheese and ham.

Waryle,

The most popular sandwich in France is the Jambon-Beurre, which is just butter and ham

ccunix,

And it cost less than half of this one at Montparnasse and is much nicer

MonkderZweite,

I see no butter or similiar here.

emberwit,

I’d call that buttered ham. A sandwich requires bread!

emberwit,

two slices of bread + something inbetween = sandwich

DanglingFury,

How about a folded piece of bread with stuff in the middle. Is that a sandwich?

How about a sub.

How about a taco… is a taco a sandwich?

Karyoplasma,

A sub is definitely a sandwich.

emberwit, (edited )

no, and neither is a hot dog, wrap, burger, baguette nor a bagel

Eh_I,
@Eh_I@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a song!

BigBananaDealer,

NO IT’S A SANDWICH

Unmolka,

What would make you think otherwise?

Viking_Hippie,

It’s my wife! millions of boomers laughing

Aceticon,

Maybe they should call it “Ceci n’est pas une sandwich” and charge £12 instead.

The Treachery of Starbucks

iopoye,

Crime!

Globulart,

I’d just like to point out that OP is either lying or has been scammed.

Starbucks have consistent pricing and the most expensive sandwich in the UK is £5.10, technically 5.25 for a plant based breakfast item, see here for full menu prices.

But people like getting angry at cost of living issues right now (understandably) so this will get hundreds of upvotes despite being a lie.

thepreciousboar,

£5.1 is slightly less but stil outrageous for £0.30 of food

Neon,

£0.30 of food

how cheap is food on the other side of the channel?!

thepreciousboar,

Maybe more than in the UK, but here in a supermarket that would be 0.20€ of ham, 0.10€ of chese and 0.30€ of bread. Considering the volume starbucks has, I don’t think it’s unreasonable they would pay half of what you pay in a supermarket.

Of course these numbers I’m all taking our of my ass, but I think they are a close estimate. There’s a reason if Starbucks is so profitable

viralJ,

Lying. They reposted from a Reddit post that shows an eight dollar Starbucks sandwich.

ccunix,

Still a stupid price for a crap sandwich. As I said in another reply, come to France and you will get the same thing for half the price. However, it will be nice (can you beat french bread? I think not)

meekah,
@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

I would say french bread is a close second to german bread. But I might be biased, being german and all lol

Globulart,

As an English person, a simple white cottage loaf cannot be beat.

But I also love French and German breads.

Fucking hell I love bread.

ccunix, (edited )

I may live in France, but I am English too. A simple white cottage loaf is great, that is indisputable. However the availability is laughable.

When I lived in Portsmouth, there were 2 bakeries on the whole island. 2!! in my little town here we have 4 artisan bakers, plus 3 supermarkets that all sell really good bread. Just round the corner from my house there is a farm that sells bread (made completely in house) every Friday afternoon and people take the afternoon off work and drive 2 hours to buy it.

French bread wins hands down.

However I agree with you on one thing: I love bread!

ccunix,

Wars have been fought for less.

In fact, it would not surprise me if an argument about bread was a factor in WW1.

@GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk avatar

can you beat french bread

When it’s a day old, you can definitely beat someone with a baguette.

lungbutter,

Hence, “pain”.

Aceticon,

Damn you, have my upvote!

ccunix,

Well that depends on the baguette. A cheap baguette moulée I agree. A nice tradition will be take around 72 hours to mature to the point it can successfully be used for violence.

phillaholic,

Fact. Baguettes are awesome.

cupcakezealot,
@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

A baguette with just that is a war crime

samson,

Ham and cheese plain or buttered on a baguette is a French staple

yata,

Looks more like a type of ciabatta.

XTornado,

The sandwich itself ain’t that bad. I would like some sauce/oil/whatever wet but apart from that looks ok. The issue is the price…

boatsnhos931,

And they served it to you on a Dixie paper plate? I call bullshit but idk why I’m even posting here because you just reposted this in pounds instead of dollars LOL

RealWarrenBuffett,

Wait, is this real? No way… I make better sandwiches in the 2 minutes time that I’m late for work.

Globulart,

No, it’s not.

This is a £5.10 item in the UK, the pic is taken from a reddit post complaining about spending 8 dollars in the US. Which is still a lot but not £8.

emberwit,

So, the pictured is still a legitimate Starbucks sandwich?
