Sandwich from a shelf? - Bridgford Shelf Stable Sandwich Review

Hey guys!

Know what's cool? Sandwiches. Know what's cooler? One that doesn't need to be refrigerated, heated, or...well anything.

You eat this sandwich straight from the airtight bag it comes in. Not only is it easy and great for those who spend time outdoors, or want a quick lunch on the go, but they're affordable, too! These are also promoted as disaster relief foods, since they require nothing besides tear and eat. It's got a shelf life of 6 months to 3 years based on the temperature it's put in. Basically this is a genius idea and can help many situations.

Now that you know all about it, it's time for my view of it. It looks like this:

Well, the one I got. It's fair to mention they have many different shelf stable foods available. There's an apple turnover, more variety of pocket sandwiches, and a cinnamon bun to name a few. These guys came prepared to give more than just one. And, to add, they don't just give lain flavors. For example, the one I received was Honey BBQ Chicken, but they also have Bacon Cheddar, Honey BBQ Beef, Italian Style, and a few others. 

I had heard of shelf stable foods, but I had never tried one like this. The last thing I would consider as a possibility would be a shelf stable sandwich. But if I had to rate it, the experience was a 9/10. I had 3 reasons why:

1. Despite being in a bag and not being something i'd normally eat, it was actually pretty good. I think it might take a bite to get over preconceived notions of certain types of foods, but if you put all opinions aside for a second and give it a chance (something no one else who tried this with me could do), it's not all that bad.

2. The "filling", or meat of it, was really good. To me it resembled the taste of beef jerky but wasn't hard to eat (or too mushy or something), it was really like something you could eat anytime. 

3. My only con: The breading of it was a bit overwhelming. maybe because it's a different kind of bread I am used to, or maybe because it seems kind of powdery or thick to me. I really don't know. But even with the bread being not a huge hit, there was enough "filling" to even it out.  

If you're wondering what it looks like, it looks like this:

I've never had a sandwich from a bag. Gotta say, went a lot better than expected 😂👍🙌 #bridgford #nice #food #foodie #foodjunkie #interesting #different #sandwich #spon #lfl #fff #outdoors #outside #nature

There weren't any other cons than the bread. No weird smell, very nice texture, easy to open, easy to store. All in all it's a very nice food and I know that if I ever needed something like that I'd definitely go for this brand/seller.

This product is on the same website I recommended last time. you can find that post here. I honestly found a new favorite website. Bonus: They still have free shipping over $20, so check it out!
