The Sinner’s Sandwich is an unusual food item, indeed, consisting of cornflakes, jam and turkey.

The very combination sounds unnerving, to say the least, and the name itself appears like a punishment, so one could naturally assume I was reasonably averse to the combination, however, I persisted.

To cut a long and arguably long winded story short, the taste and texture were surprising, in that they were actually quite complimentary of each other, with the moisture created by the jam seemingly sweetening the turkey, as if I had honey-roasted the turkey. The cornflakes provided a crunchy bed atop the caramelized turkey, spicing up the texture considerably, and breaking the monotony of your stereotypical sandwich.

The ‘Sinner’s Sandwich’ originated from a much more modern media, a video game called ‘Deadly Premonition’, which was often cited as the ‘Best worst game’.

As an unarguable bystander to the world of cookery, I can say that this concoction is downright unexpected in it’s utilization of my three primary factors, in that;

The Taste

The flavor is hard to pin down, however, I can say that the sweetness of the jam mixed with the savory of the turkey collides to create a perfect juxtaposition, combined with the occasional cereal backdrop, which anchors the whole item to the ground.

The Texture

The texture is, to me, the primary point of interest in this sandwich, with five layers, all directly opposing one another.

The two shells of bread, soft like a cushion, concealing the cooler and melted jam, covering the crunchy cornflakes and the stringy slabs of turkey. It is the great comparisons in between that cultivate to the unusually good texture.

The Price

It’s simple really, it is as cheap as you want it to be.

Conclusion

The ‘Sinner’s Sandwich’ is a cheap, easily assembled lunch item that combines all meals of the day into one, tasting good at the same time.

Although, if you are planning to use this as a punishment for a sinner, try the old and usual.
