Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Time to play "Rate My Sandwich." Time for ME to play anyway; time for YOU to read. If you want, that is.
Scale: 1=unsatisfactory, 10=superb
SANDWICH: Tuna Melt Pocket w/Tomato from Acton Great Road Pizzeria.
SIZE:
Rating based on an "Average" person as a customer: 12. This thing was freaking Ginormous. I had no clue they even made pita pockets that big, and I got a SMALL. Also, I think an entire economy sized jug o' tuna from Costco was used for my sandwich alone.
Rating based on a small person trying to purchase a small, yet satisfying meal: 3. People come in different sizes. I don't think of those sizes as huge, extra large, and ginormous. I would appreciate it if food stores kept that in mind as well. Ya, sometimes a lot of food is great; for example, a dinner-type meal that is easily reheated. NOT a tuna sandwich, which must be eaten in one sitting - or in one sitting as a sandwich and one as tuna soup. Some people would like to get a small amount of food for a small price. This sandwich was approximately 3 times larger than a person my size could handle, yet it was the smallest size available. Minus 7 for contributing to the obesity of America/wasted food products/unwanted leftovers.
HOLDABILITY: 5.
The Pita was ripped in several places (probably due to the several pounds of tuna). It was difficult to hold, and kept falling apart. Eventually I ended up setting it down and eating it with a fork. But come on, if I wanted to eat something with a fork, I would've ordered a salad or something. Minus 5 for how much time I had to spend cleaning off my hands, getting a fork from the other room, etc.
INGREDIENT RATIO: 7.
First, the good: the tomatoes were delicious, and there was a PERFECT amount. The bread itself was also good, although I would probably opt for a sub next time (to ease with the holdability). There was way more tuna than I would like. It overshadowed the taste of anything else. Minus 3.
FLAVOR: 6.
Tuna was oddly spicy. Not gross, just not my particular taste. Minus 4. Tomatoes were DELICIOUS. Cheese was alright. I don't know what kind it was; I think it was a kind I'm not particularly fond of, but I couldn't really taste it anyway.
TEXTURE: 4.
Was this tuna ground to a fine paste? Minus 2. I like my tuna a bit chunkier. Plus, WHERE IS THE CELERY?!?!?!??! I freaking LOVE celery with my tuna, and it seems rare to find. Maybe I'm just going to the wrong places. Celery can make or break the texture of tuna for me. Minus 4 for no celery.
PRICE: 10.
Fridays are "Free Lunch Fridays" (as I like to say) at my work. On the house. Fringe benefit. (I think that's what a fringe benefit is, anyway.) Otherwise, I think the price suits (and is possibly even a good deal for) the quantity. As I mentioned before, I think they should offer a smaller size at a smaller price for those of us who don't want leftovers/to waste food/to be obese.
OVERALL RATING: ~6.7.
OTHER PRODUCTS I'VE HAD FROM THIS EATERY: Hot Pastrami Sub (DELICIOUS), Pineapple Pizza (Equally as delicious as other pineapple pizzas I've had. I don't think I've ever had a BAD pineapple pizza.)
RESTAURANT RATING: 8.5.
Maybe I'll do some work now. Maybe I'll just look around online as I eagerly await leaving time to go home for Anna's arrival!!!! :D
