Back from the market, hot and starving, I knew I should use some of the fresh stuff I'd bought, but also needed to eat quickly. Thus:
Commercial sliced whole wheat bread, 2 slices, each spread with mayo Egg scrambled with leftover longaniza sausage & chile paste, corraled into a bread-sized square Sliced white onions Sliced tomato Sliced baby avocados, including the skin Thin slices of jack-type cheese. Cilantro
Onion on one piece of the bread, then some cilantro leaves, topped with the omelet. That went into a hot skillet so the bread could be toasting as I layered on tomato (w/salt & black pepper, naturally), avocado slices, & cilantro leaves, then gently topped them with the cheese & the other bread slice.
Turned the sandwich over so the other side could toast & melt the cheese into the vegetable slices. Removed from skillet & cut into four wedges. Just right!

My husband made a sandwich last week with some leftover lasagna between two slices of bread. I almost vomited although at first glance it looked rather tasty. I didn't ask if there was a condiment involved...

Even though I am not a big sandwich eater, I do enjoy a good sandwich from time to time. The other day, I took this to work for lunch -- a duck sandwich with sliced onion, pickles & tomato and lubricated with mayonnaise.

I have often thought that cold roast fowl sandwiches are reason enough for the existence of mayonnaise. Your po'boy/submarine/hoagie/grinder/hero is perfection.

Kerouac, I could eat one of those for lunch or dinner. I love duck and even more, I love a proper french baguette!

I see peanut butter in British supermarkets, zona. Can't say it is common in Switzerland, though! Although the international community in Geneva and such places has brought it to the shelves. So yesterday was our first day in Paris and I bought what I thought was a "local" brand peanut butter at the Marche U (it was on the shelf next to the Skippy brand peanut butter, but was 2 Euro cheaper). I spread it on some bread and it tasted WONDERFUL - sweet, with a hint of spice. It was so wonderful that we looked it up on the internet. Turns out Speculoos paste is made of biscuits; no wonder it tasted so sweet and delicious! So my new favorite sandwich is a cookie paste sandwich.

Yes, spéculoos is a kind of Belgian ginger snap. Spéculoos paste is a recent invention dating from 2008, when it was presented on a Flemish TV show.

Don't tell me spéculoos is a bad copy of Spekulatius!

This is a simple to make sandwich: For the Chutney: Mint leaves - 2 bunches Green chillies - 4/5 (depending on your spice tolerance) Cilantro - 1 bunch Ginger - 1 inch long piece Lemon - 1 Salt Yogurt Directions: Grind all the ingredients together except lemon/yogurt. If using yogurt, beat some and mix with the ground chutney. If not using yogurt, squeeze fresh lemon juice into the ground chutney. For the sandwich: Bread slices toasted Butter Ketchup Tomatoes - 2 sliced Cucumber - 1, peeled and sliced Carrot - 1, thinly sliced Salt Crushed black pepper On one slice, apply some butter and ketchup and on the other slice apply the mint chutney. Layer one slice with the tomato, cucumber and carrot slices. Garnish with salt and black pepper. Top it with the other slice Cut into triangles and serve with ketchup.

It sounds wonderful except for the ketchup. Can that be left off?

One must not forget, however, that Asian ketchup is not necessarily similar to the product that we know in the West. After all, it was an Asian invention that just went in a different direction from the Vietnamese nuoc mam. Both started out as "fish sauce" but tomatoes were added at the beginning of the 19th century to Malaysian kĕchap, and the rest is history.

Ah! Thanks, Kerouac. You correctly divined what I was thinking.
Tjoe -- what is ketchup in India like?

Post by tjoe on Nov 28, 2011 5:11:31 GMT
Now with the globalisation and entry of Maggie and Knorr brands Indian ketchup is same as what you have in the west.

There is nothing like a roast beef sandwich made with beef carved from your own roast (i.e. not deli roast beef).

Post by Deleted on Jan 31, 2012 14:46:40 GMT
Yes!!! And,it would appear from your pic Imec that you can get decent rye bread there. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! Something we have to go in search of here. I have found it at a couple of very out of the way Kosher delis.

On the same theme, I think that my last piece of beef tongue is going to end up in a baguette sandwich full of mustard and pickles.

Annie! thought you'd never ask... in fact there were kosher dills, horseradish, gravy, sliced tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, arugula tossed with olive oil, white balsamic and shaved reggiano and oven fries. Think there may have been some roasted garlic and chili aioli off camera too.
