English Super Wrap

The gastronomy of London, United Kingdom, is as varied as how cosmopolitan the city is. So much so, that even in supermarkets there are such diverse foods, and at a good price, that you can try them. How important are supermarket foods? Can you review this? Completely yes. For this reason, in Il Chef News, I will do a gastronomic review of one of these products from a super Londoner.

Like all supermarket foods, foods are usually cheaper or almost similar in price to those in bakeries, but they will never be high. There are also different things, for example sandwiches, rolls and even sushi. But, this time, I will review the sweet spicy chicken wrap from the British supermarket Tesco.


First impressions


At first glance, the product has the impression of being rich, with good eyesight as it contains various colors. Lettuce, tomato and, most importantly, the chicken marinated in a sweet spicy sauce can be easily observed. The reasonable price attracts attention, for a tourist who saw the purchases in passing. The wrap cost a pound and cents, which at the time (end of 2016), was not worth much for an Argentine.


Examination


Coming out of Russell Square tube station on the Piccadilly line, I find the Tesco supermarket in plain sight. With my family, tired of so much walking and walking around the city, we decided to go in to buy some food and continue the tour of London.


Upon entering, we went to see what things there were and which were the best to take. Among so many of them, the wrap and some egg and bacon sandwiches stood out. We decided to go for the wrap because they were simpler and could fill us up more to have those energies.


Pros and cons


Pros: Ingredients look good, it's filling, and it's cheap. You can see the nutritional value on the front of the package and the ingredients on the back. It is a good portion for those who pay.


Cons: The pepper is so strong that it overrides the taste of the chicken and other ingredients. It doesn't taste as much. It's not that it serves much either: it fills but leaves the feeling of wanting to eat something for dessert.


Final score


In conclusion, a good food at a good price but too spicy. Full, but with few flavors. A strange and medium complicated leveling. Note: 5.5.
