Today’s sandwich is the “Double Onion” Turkey and Swiss: Deli cracked pepper turkey, thinly sliced tomato, Swiss cheese, dill pickle, french fried onions, and plenty of dijon mustard on a soft onion roll. It is bursty and surprisingly fresh, with some excellent crunch from the fried onions.

Please write some more about how it feels to be back in the US after 4 years in the Yucatan. What you miss from Mexico, what you’re glad to be away from, etc.
Thanks!
View CommentI guess it’s the pickle that brings to mind one of my favorite and easy sandwiches: salami and pickled eggplant. You pile pickled eggplant from a jar – I would use Cosmos, from West Haven – and sliced salami onto your bread of choice and drown the mess with olive oil. I go for a hard roll because I’m stuck in my ways but I imagine focaccia or thick slices of italian loaf could make a monster.
View CommentI can’t say I’ve ever tried pickled eggplant. I will definitely give this a try and report back.
