Oyster dressing is a Creole fave often made on Thanksgiving. And sometimes we make sandwiches with it, most commonly with some kind of ham or deboned pork chop, and a little mayo. In New Orleans, you’d typically get that on the ubiquitous french bread.
But this week, Mom & Dad took some of the Thanksgiving leftovers to make a variation on that traditional favorite by using roasted garlic bread and using our guest’s veal schnitzel*. I haven’t seen Mom eat a sandwich that large in a while, and she pretty much wolfed it. Poor thing didn’t stand a chance...
I had a similar one on sourdough the next day.
Tonight, I took one of the last pieces of schnitzel and paired it with my Aunt’s strawberry/pineapple glazed ham, some Swiss, mayo and Dijon mustard on french bread. It needed a little more mustard and some sliced pickles, but I’m not complaining.
* my cousin brought her boyfriend, and between them, they brought an excellent roasted duck, a pair of bacon-topped Apple pies (delish!), and a pile of homemade veal schnitzel.
