Are we denying the crust to the people?


         The sandwich is just not given enough credit down under. Whether its because where busy fussing over burgers, and kebabs I don’t know, but the sandwich holds between its crusts a potentially mind-blowing taste sensation that is overlooked because of its domesticated commonality as alunchbox-filling-playground item.

But its time we took a stand. I am an ambassador for the sandwich in all its simple measures, for like a burger itcan hit the spot. Lets break It down a sandwich is 
1. Convenient 
2. Quick to eat
3. Filling and 
4. Yummy.
So what’s the problem? Why is it sandwichesare so lack-lust?

My travels throughout England saw to the importance of the sandwich in making it through a sometimes cold and miserable London day. Every corner store sold a variety of sandwiches even specialtystores like Prêt a Manager who prepare them fresh daily with flavours like‘Cracking egg salad’ and ‘Pole and Line, Caught Tuna Nicoise on Granary’ the names alone are enough to make you change your mind about how seriously you should take a sandwich.

Why are sandwiches so Blasé in Aus? -So mediocre in their efforts to fulfill your hunger pains? Sent to school withpoor efforts in sandwich making, like vegemite sandwiches, has made us loosesight of the brilliance of the sandwhich.
Are we denying the crust to the people?

Why are we frilling around with tapas and canapés when we have a not too shabby equivalent the Sandwich! Held between to soft slices of bread hold the moist fillings of sometimes salmon and Philadelphia or the good old egg sandwich that may sound weird but we all have a soft spot for them. The sandwich needs a comeback like Britney Spears- and I'm sure it will do a better job of it.

Its time we suss out the GOOD sandwich shops on offer, so that the next time someone asks you what to get for lunch,youll say:

‘Why not a sandwich’ 


Recipe for a Good'Ol'Sandwich:


1 hard boiled egg
2 slices of fresh bread, i like a nice rye
Some GOOD mayonnaise, i'd say make it yourself! or Neil Perry has a nice one
Pinch of salt, or if you like something a little different a touch of curry powder
Lettuce
A good Schemering of QUALITY Butter, i like Maitlands butter soft or Dutch Girgar. 


Mash up your egg with the mayo and salt. Schemer your bread with your butter, fill with the egg and lay-on the Lettuce.
Delicimo!
