New Take on Lasagne

It is the snack that draws together the best of British with the very finest of Italian in the most unlikely combination.

Supermarket giant Tesco has come up with a 'limited edition' carb-rich lasagne sandwich.

The supermarket claims it is a world first and has even presented it as a 'healthy option'.

Promotional images of the sandwich released ahead of its launch yesterday showed the nutritional information on the packet displaying just 87 calories and 4.1g of fat.

In reality it has 565 calories, more than a quarter of the maximum recommended for an adult man per day.

The fat content is 26.9g, almost 40 per cent of a man’s maximum. This means that one Tesco lasagne-sandwich is the equivalent of two McDonald’s cheeseburgers, which add up to 595 calories and 24g of fat.

Yum! Nothing beats a ground meat and noodle sandwich. I love me some pre-made sandwiches.

What are the chances this tastes good? Probably slim. I'd much rather have a KFC Double Down. At least that cheesy meat stack looks like a guilty pleasure. The lasagne sandwich looks like a pbj gone wrong.
