This sandwich was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I would have liked the shrimp to be cooked a little more. Otherwise, this sandwich was pretty good.

This sandwich was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The bread was a bit dry for my liking. I think I'll try using a different type of bread next time.

This sandwich was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I'll stick to traditional cucumber sandwiches in the future.
