A few months ago I blogged about a wonderful new gluten free tuna sandwich that Starbucks had introduced http://www.rockupandroll.com/post/1554468958/a-gold-star-for-starbucks . I loved that sandwich, ok it might not have been the best sandwich in the world but it was edible and gluten free and that was good enough for me. Well you can imagine my dismay when recently I took a trip into my local Starbucks to find that the sandwich was no longer there. Feeling a bit desperate I consoled myself that you are never more than about 20ft from a Starbucks so I tried the next nearest one with no joy and the next one with the same outcome. Bereft I resigned myself to the fact that this must have been a trial which Starbucks had decided to stop.

Well you can imagine my joy when I took a trip into Starbucks this morning and saw a thing of beauty. That’s right a gluten free sandwich and not just any old tuna creation but a bang spanking new chicken, spinach and green pesto creation. Now you don’t need me to tell you that lunch could not come quick enough today and when I put the lovely creation to my salivating mouth it did not disappoint. A good helping of chicken, a nice salad, a hint of pesto and not to dry. All in all a good effort. Although I have to say I do slightly miss the tuna sandwich, it will always have a special place in my heart as it was the first they brought out.
