Unusual Sandwiches

There's a reason it is done better in the North than the South: cod fisheries off the Grand Banks. The stuff is a staple of New England and Atlantic Canada.

Isn't that part of why the fisheries there have taken so severe a beating?

It's Mardis Gras, ya'll. Go get yourself a catfish po'boy.

(Beignets and hush puppies optional, but highly-recommended.)

More or less yeah.

So... my favorite sandwich is based on Thanksgiving leftovers: roast turkey breast, cheese, mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, and horseradish. I used to put mashed potatoes on it, too, before I got bit by the DIABEETUS.

Also used to be really fond of fluffernutters-- DIABEETUS-- but I found that a couple of strips of thick-sliced pepper bacon and maybe half of a banana sliced into coins really uplifted the experience.

Also, tortilla wrap: roast beef, cream cheese, mustard, and strawberry jelly.

I don’t do many tortilla wraps at home, using garlic naan instead. It results in a breadier sandwich, but the flavor is worth it.

Still, sometimes, only a tortilla will do, no doubt.

Indian cuisine is my absolute favoritest of all cuisines on this miserable planet... and I still hate naan bread.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Tortillas it is, then!

So I decided to make a sandwich with a leftover cod fillet to test my theories...

Now, I didn’t have the EXACT kind of stuff a fast food place would have, but I kept it as simple as possible.

The cod fillet came from a newish seafood place we tried for the first time- the fillet was more highly seasoned than the one you’d get in a burger chain. I reheated it in the microwave.

I used toasted roasted garlic bread for my bread.

I made a vinaigrette using tarragon vinegar, French’s yellow mustard, and lemon infused EVOO. I added parsley and black pepper.

No cheese was harmed in the making of this sandwich.

The result was good enough that even subbing more pedestrian bread, olive oil, and industry standard fried cod fillets, my recipe would be better AND cheaper.

And as I ate it, I also thought: why the hell not just serve an egg & cheese sandwich? Abstaining from meat doesn’t mean being a vegan or pescatarian, obviously.

Chicken Kiev cut up and threw in garlic naan bread with salad and some rice. Chose them over the Tortillas.

Hmmm...maybe I’ll score some garlic naan tomorrow.
