Unusual Sandwiches

I was thinking along the same lines as @gnarlygninja- this sounds like it’s heading into Thai culinary traditions. Check out some Thai recipes with similar ingredients.

One thing I’ve seen before that might be relevant is “empty jar peanut butter sauce”, like these:

This is pretty similar to what I do with close to empty mustard jars, intending to make a vinaigrette with it, although to be honest I usually forget about them.

My lunch yesterday was not an unusual sandwich by my reckoning, but a lot of people I know disagreed. It was ham, pimento cheese, and chips. I guess how weird that is depends on if you grew up eating pimento cheese.

In one of those obvious/not obvious “hacks”, I was making sandwiches for Mom’s & my dinners tonight, and realized that I didn’t have any sliced pickles. And all I had in the pantry were spears and whole pickles.

But instead of getting our a board & knife to slice some up, I instead reached for dill relish.

As you might expect, it worked out fine. But there was a slight difference in the experience. With sliced pickles, you experience the occasional crunch & flavor of pickle as a distinct difference. With the relish, there’s no textural or flavor variation- the flavor is spread throughout the whole sandwich.
