Another pandemic day, another Dagwood: layers of ham, fancy bacon, radish sprouts, spinach, onion cheese, tomatoes, pickles, mayo & spicy brown mustard on toasted oatnut bread.

Reason I'm not eating Dagwood's is I'm on a low salt diet.
Salami, Bacon, ham etc off the menu. Enjoying my oats.
Trying to stay under 1500mg mist days with one bad meal 1500-2000mg sodium a week.
On the plus side feeling a lot better than 3 months ago.
Haven't seen a Dagwood for a while. Ye old school bakery or cafe/truckstop would be the place to look.

I’m on a very low salt diet as well. Have been for more than a decade. But I’m eating fewer meals overall, right now, and making do with what’s available during the situation.
With the exception of the bacon I’m using right now, most of my sandwich ingredients are reduced or low sodium. (The groceries were out of low sod bacon.)
I also tend not to actually pile up the meats like you’d find on a typical Dagwood. Instead, 1-2 pieces of each meat type get shredded or cut and placed on the sandwich in layers, and the greens and veggies are added in such amounts as to give more vertical presence...and nutrition. By volume, I had at least as much radish sprouts and spinach each as any meat.
The sliced tomatoes were yet another visible layer.
The pickles were sliced thin from long halves. I could have simply used dill or dill seasoning mix, but I wanted just a tad more moisture.

Some good stuff in there!
Not a fan of bread & butter pickles, though. They seem to be stuck in a flavor “no man’s land”.
You might also see if you can track down things like pickled peppers or pickled onions at your local farmer’s market or the like. They can make for a nice twist.

Our local farmers market has been closed.
They had great homebrew whiskey.
Wife vetoed my 24 litres of Baltika plan. I've bought a 2 week supply of alcohol for the 3rd time this week!!
Probably start having sandwiches for dinner. Hummus, salad, chicken between bread works well enough.

I did that with leftover brisket, chopped and reheated with BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and 2 teaspoons of bourbon.
The bread is roasted garlic bread, toasted and topped with yellow mustard.
OMG!
