Between two very thin, and slightly moist, slices of
sundried tomato bread, this Tesco’s chicken, chorizo and chipotle mayo sandwich
did not satisfy this first time tasting. As well as the very thin moist bread,
the filling itself was very unsatisfying. The chicken was very dry and
flavourless, as if had been overcooked and then left to fester. As well as the
spinach, which was also very flavourless and quite withered as if it had been
left in the heat for too long. Mixed emotions were felt about the chipotle
mayo, it brought a strong flavour to the sandwich, yet it lacked the kick that
my taste buds we on the hunt for, this being the medium spice that the packet
clearly stated, this false advertisement did not please the taste buds. This
leads to the missing tomato and green peppers. The ingredients state that they
were meant to be in there, but they were not, what’s up with that Tesco? However,
what managed to turn this sandwich from a terrible one to a fairly bad one was
firstly the chorizo. The chorizo was well portioned and of perfect taste, so
that it did not make the sandwich too acidic and hefty in the meat area. As well
as, the pleasant surprise I got when I stumbled across the pinto beans. There were
not a lot of them, which was good as a sandwich is no place for a bean, yet the
nice surprise I received when biting into them gave the sandwich a bit more
texture and flavour. On the whole, the Tesco’s chicken, chorizo and chipotle
mayo sandwich was not an ideal choice when in need of a snack due to its lack
of flavour, the poor quality and amount of filling (as you can see from the photo below the sandwich doesn't even fill the box), and the fact it did not do
what it said on the packet.
