Jack within the Field has introduced again its Hen Supreme, a sandwich I didn’t know existed till now, or perhaps completely forgot about it as a result of I used to be extra involved with stuffing my face with The Colossus. In response to the web, it was launched in 1980 and discontinued in 2004, and it’s being introduced again for a restricted time to have fun Jack within the Field’s Seventy fifth birthday. Glad Birthday, Jack!
Whereas not precisely like the unique Hen Supreme, which had two varieties of cheese, this Seventy fifth-anniversary version comes with a crispy hen patty, mayo-onion sauce, lettuce, tomato, and Swiss-style cheese, all between a wheat brioche bun. Sure, that piece of lettuce is so big that perhaps my sandwich ought to in all probability be referred to as the Lettuce Supreme.
It’s obtainable with one or two patties. I ordered the only model, however acquired a Double Hen Supreme, so early Glad Birthday to me!
Trying on the components, I questioned why it’s thought-about a “fan favourite” as a result of it doesn’t appear particular to me. For probably the most half, it had all of the makings of a typical quick meals hen patty sandwich. However once I took a chew, I started to grasp a bit of about why it had been missed.
The next goes to sound bizarre, however regardless of the fried hen patty, the mixture of the wheat bun, lettuce, and tomato provides this menu merchandise a little bit of wholesomeness. And that wholesomeness, together with the onion-mayo sauce and Swiss cheese, that caresses the poultry provides it a surprisingly tasty taste that differentiates itself from different hen patty quick meals sandwiches.
Now don’t get it twisted. The Hen Supreme is not at all wholesome, and if Jack within the Field had the antenna balls to publish the complete dietary info on its web site, we’d all see how unhealthy it’s.
Now that is going to sound even weirder, however there’s part of me that believes the wheat bun is what actually makes all of the distinction with this sandwich’s style. It’s a bit of candy, nevertheless it additionally has that earthy, grainy taste you’d anticipate from wheat bread. Nonetheless, it enhances the savory hen patty and all of the toppings splendidly.
At $5.99, it has a worth that’s not too outrageous, and it’s cheaper than virtually all of Jack’s different hen sandwiches. If it may be saved at that very same worth level, I’d wish to see the Hen Supreme return every now and then as a result of it’s tasty sufficient that it deserves it. I simply hope it occurs earlier than Jack within the Field’s a centesimal anniversary.
