Seasonal Sandwich Search no. 4 - Santy Bagel in Itsa

So we got a bonus sandwich added to our search for the best Christmas sandwich in Dublin this year.

We made a quick stop off in the city before Ciaran headed off for Mayo later in the day. Both of us were a little bit hungry so we decided to go for a Christmas sandwich and ended up in Itsa Bagel (in Arnotts) were we each had their "Santy Bagel".

They were very tasty but the cranberry was quite sharp so I asked for some mayonaise and added that to my bagel to tone it down.

I haven't had a bagel in a long while and this one was particularly good but perhaps quite sweet.

Here's the pic of the Santy Bagel, which was made of all the usual Christmas trimmings.

Keenly priced at just under 8 euro, here's how it scored overall.

  1. Price.                                     Enid 4/5   Ciaran 4/5
  2. Ingredients                            Enid 4/5     Ciaran 4/5
  3. Construction / aesthetic.     Enid 3/5     Ciaran 3/5
  4. Atmosphere/ Experience      Enid 3/5     Ciaran 2/5
  5. Tradition                                 Enid 2/5     Ciaran 2/5
With a score of 31 out of 50 this is a good sandwich but unfortunately not in the top two scoring sandwiches. See here to read about the current top Christmas sandwich from Greenville Deli in Rathmines

And below is the receipt saved for posterity.

The search continues!
