Soft butter and sliced ham sit in a baguette, with no salad or sauce getting in the way. Built in the French style, it’s just bread, dairy, and cured pork, so the texture comes from the contrast between a crisp crust and a soft, yielding centre. In Pret A Manger’s sandwich range, it’s one of the most stripped-back options, closer to a deli counter sandwich than the filled wraps and hot baps around it. The ingredients are plain enough to read at a glance, and the format is fixed: hand-held, cold, and ready to eat.
