I normally have pretty basic tastes when it comes to sandwiches: meat, cheese, mayo, a spread of some kind and/or lettuce if I have some on hand. But it’s nice to throw in something different now and then.
Sticking to one or two ingredients (this is the dull men’s club after all) how do you all like to kick up your sandwiches a bit?
I’ll start-- it’s nothing crazy, but Aldi sells a Bavarian sweet mustard that’s a really nice step up from regular yellow mustard for a ham & swiss.
While in England last year, wife and I stopped in this pub for beers and rest. We were tired from walking all day. When we smelled a grilled cheese being cooked, we both were about salivating! I went up to the bar, and asked the guy if he could make another. He did, and when he brought it out, he said, “I added a little pickle in case you want it.” I just nodded at first, but pretty quickly realized there was not a pickle anywhere on the plate. Or in the sandwich. Instead, he meant Branston Pickle in a little portion cup next to the sandwich. I smelled some, and tried a little on my half of the toastie. SO. GOOD. I had ordered some on Amazon before we left for home.
