Boots does some great vegan sandwiches.
They have launched a new limited edition range of vegan sandwiches for Veganuary 2021.
No Tuna & Sweetcorn — chickpeas and soy protein with sweetcorn, vegan mayo and lemon juice, on malted bread.

No Chicken Salad — seasoned wheat gluten and soy pieces with vegan mayo, lemon juice, lettuce, and tomato, on malted bread.
No Duck & Hoisin — seasoned wheat gluten and soy pieces with hoisin sauce, cucumber, lettuce, and spring onion, in a wheat wrap.
£3, or £3.39 as part of the Boots meal deal.
So far I ended up trying the no cheese and onion and the no tuna sweetcorn.
The no cheese and onion was good as expected but it was quite different to how I expected it to taste but it was memorable.
What hit me was the strong grassy green onion notes that you get in the regular version but stronger.
As for the coconut based cheese, I think the taste was heavily hidden under the green onion so it feels like you are eating a regular cheese and onion sandwich because you got that grated cheese texture in it.
The no tuna Sweetcorn was also memorable.
On the sandwich box, it says chickpeas and soy protein with sweetcorn, vegan mayo and lemon juice, on malted bread but what really hits you is the dill but it is not in the highlights but listed as an ingredients.
I love dill therefore I liked the no tuna sandwich but certainly memorable because of the dill.
In terms of texture, it was similar to mixed tuna because the starchy chickpeas and soy protein made it feel like minced tuna fibres.
The sweetcorn in it also had a nice crunch.
Looking forward to try the no duck soon.
