These are pictures of the shelves at a
Pret a Manger, which is more commonly referred to as a "
Pret."
Prets can be found on just about every other corner, and seem to have about as much presence as a Starbucks in the states. They sell coffee, breakfast pastries, soups, and most
importantly, sandwiches. The sandwich would seem to be a major staple in the Londoner's diet given the incredible number of sandwiches that occupy the shelves at each
Pret. These sandwiches are
pre-made, sliced diagonally, and put in display boxes for your perusal. They are just as commonly purchased for breakfast as they are for lunch. Luckily,
Sammi, my local friend in the office, has taken me out to lunch to some rather nice restaurants, so I've not had to rely solely on the sandwich, which is what I ate a ton of for lunch last year.

I do love a good sandwich! Actually, for years it was my preferred breakfast -- turkey on wheat with some hot tea. Sounds like London is a good place for me to visit :-)
