It is not often I don't bring to work a sizeable luncheon, but being on call this week, I have been a little remiss, and so this Friday I've been caught short.
So my hand was forced and I had to traipse over to Tesco's to buy something for lunch. God knows why but I opted for one of their sandwiches. Perhaps it was the packaging that caught my eye, perhaps the Limited edition stickers. Or perhaps the £1.60 price tag. Whatever it was, I handed over some of my hard earned post tax coppers and left, with a small sense of anticipation. Surely this new sandwich would leave my tastebuds craving more? This sandwich, "inspired by regional American cuisine, influenced by the food of Mexico" would hopefully inspire me, whisking me away to the planes of the Sierra Madre Orientals?
Well folks. Fellow cuisine aficionados. Let me tell you thus:
I have never tasted a sandwich that tasted of anything less. Indeed, it would not be contrived to say that I didn't taste this sandwich, because there was nothing to taste. The Tesco Limited Edition Mexican Chilli Chicken Sandwhich is to sandwiches, as Dulux would have been to 16th century Chapel ceiling painting. If I hadn't have put the packet in my bin I could be entirely forgiven for wondering if I'd even eaten it.
Allow this post to serve as a friendly warning. If you want a nice sandwich, do not buy this particular offering. Indeed, should you want a horrible sandwich, for whatever reason, do not buy this sandwich. In short, if there were some way to vomit this sandwich back into its original shape and place it in the box, I would be seeking a refund right about now.
Wherever you are, I hope you enjoy your lunch today.
