A bland chicken sandwich for you, a bland cheese sandwich for your veggie friend and a ham sandwich presumably for your dog because it's not real food.
Positives: it's a triple so will fill you up if you decide you can eat it yourself maybe?

I had Nando’s “The Total Sleigh” and it wasn’t great or terrible. Definitely overpriced for what you get.
Doesn’t qualify for the comp as you can’t walk in and pick it up (or point at it for someone to pass to you) and then take it back to your desk.
Would get a score of 4 if it was included here.
