After eating my lunch in front of our fire today, it got me thinking, that would be a great blog, about sandwich fillings. So today's lunch was wholemeal bread and I filled it with avocado, grated beetroot & carrot, snow pea sprouts, red onion, cos lettuce, himalayan salt and freshly ground pepper. It was healthy & really delicious, it made me think of a sandwich filling that I had years ago at a shop in Perth called the Magic Apple. It was a shop that served healthy lunches, I'm not sure if it is still around. This was about 25 years ago and I still remember the sandwich ,it was wholemeal bread with sliced egg, tomato & english spinach, it was such a lovely combination, I have since made it lots of times myself. Another sandwich filling I used to love as a young girl was grated carrot and cheese, I had that a few times last week and still love it just as much. I'd love to hear what every one else has in their sandwiches, we might all try some new combinations after reading every ones posts. I haven't eaten wheat bread for quite a few years, as I was always told I had an allergy to wheat, well the last few weeks I have started to eat wholemeal wheat bread again, a lady said to me about a month ago eat what you love and I thought to myself I will. I hate eating food that I don't really enjoy because someone says its healthy for me. I'm going to trust that I will eat what I need. It reminds me of a saying by Deepak Chopra, if you enjoy what you eat it turns to nectar if you don't enjoy what you eat it turns to poison.
I am a big sandwich fan.
ReplyDeleteMy two fav's being rare roast beef, cheese and tomato and ham, marinated mushrooms with mustard mayonnaise (grainy seeded mustard mixed with mayo)
I love roast beef, lettuce and onion marmalade, mmmmm. And fresh bread with smoked ham, tasty cheese and choko pickles.
ReplyDeleteMarinated mushrooms sounds yum!
cheese and tomato or cheese and salad
ReplyDeleteActually, your sandwich looks very yummy to me Sherrie :)
ReplyDeleteOk, don't knock it 'till you've tried it, but I love strawberry, cream cheese and alfalfa, seriously, it's really really good!
ReplyDeleteMight try your combination Sim - sounds good to me! Another one I like is cheese and honey. It's the combination of sweet and savoury that does it - like your filling, Sim
ReplyDelete...guess I love my cheese.....
Jam and cheese toasted is delicious but my all time fave is chicken, avocado, lettuce and alfalfa.
ReplyDeleteMagic Apple is still making great sambos! 25 years is pretty good, they must be doing something right.
