Food Monday ~ Take two slices

Sometimes my lunch is based on two slices of bread.  The variety of bread varies time about:-

Wheaten

Muesli

Veda (Malt)

Ciabatta

Olive

Rye

Walnut

Wholemeal

Crusty French stick

Unlike my mother before me I do not dress the bread with half a pound of butter. The very thought is enough to turn my stomach. In order to keep a filling from falling all over the table a scraping of moisture is necessary and in my case it varies depending on the filling.

The base coat can be

  • Chutney
  • Stewed fruit
  • Mayonnaise
  • Juice from grilled bacon (never fried)
  • Marmalade or jam

Suggested fillings.

Avocado mashed with a few drops of lemon juice and freshly ground black, topped with a tomato & salad onion salsa. A personal favourite.

Hard boiled egg & onion

Smoked salmon with lemon juice on wheaten

Grilled bacon

Tuna & sweet-corn

BLT – Warm grilled bacon & tomato with lettuce

Pineapple & cheese

Sliced beetroot & black pepper

Sliced Tomato with chopped salad onion and basil

For those with a sweet tooth,,,

Sliced desert apple and Mars bar

Chocolate Hazelnut spread with mashed banana or sliced pear

Do you have a favourite sambo?
