Bacon and mushroom sandwich left a nasty taste in mouth
A BAFFLED Sainsbury's customer has shared a hilarious picture showing what cafe staff served up when he ordered a bacon and mushroom sandwich. John Geoghegan's snap shows a enormous, uncut, almost raw mushroom perched next to his snack.
The sandwich itself, which he ordered at Sainsbury's in Stroud, Gloucestershire, was filled with bacon but contained not a trace of mushroom.
The mushroom had been very lightly grilled, meaning that when he cut into it it flooded the plate, leaving him with a soggy sarnie.
Mr Geoghegan, 42, from Cheltenham, Glouchestershire, posted the picture on Facebook on Thursday.
He wrote: "So today I visited Sainsbury's in Stroud. Placed my order for a bacon and mushroom sandwich.
We literally fell about laughing
"I kid you not, this is what arrived."
He added: "The best bit was when she served it she said she didn't know if I wanted the mushroom in the sandwich or not.
"At first I thought it wasn't cooked. It had been slightly grilled so when I cut into it it flooded the plate."
Mr Geoghegan said: "Myself and a colleague stopped for breakfast, and it took a few moments for it to sink in it wasn't a joke.
"Especially when she said she didn't know if I wanted the mushroom in the sandwich or not.
"We literally fell about laughing."
Sainsbury's say that Mr Geoghegan is welcome back any time to reclaim a better sandwich.
A spokesman said: "Clearly this wasn't what John had in mind. We'd like to invite him back for a better buttie."
