A slice of bread, some butter and a listless slice of cheese slapped on it. If we’re in a really good mood, we might chop up another tomato and drape it as best we can on our sandwich, knowing full well that everything will fall off the first bite anyway. At least that’s how it went for a long time with us during dinner. It’s different now.
What is she putting on her bread?
My sister came to visit. A source of endless inspiration for sandwiches, as I could tell. She was the revolutionary at our dinner table. Things ended up in our shopping cart while we were shopping that I wouldn’t necessarily have associated with a snack. The highest of feelings are already vegetable sticks for us. But she had ideas for the good old sandwich. Eggplant, halloumi, figs, tofu… all foods that I would rather have thrown in the pan than on the bread. Exactly for the reason mentioned above. Everything is arranged in a really appetizing way and you just completely fail to maneuver this fully loaded sandwich ship into your mouth without the cargo plunging into the depths on the way there.
Knife and fork are key
But she had a trick there too: eat the sandwich with a knife and fork. Yes… Some might roll their eyes now because they are already doing it. In any case, I’ve only recently become a passionate sandwich-with-knife-and-fork eater. Most importantly, the knife must be sharp, really sharp. Otherwise everything falls down because of the jerking when cutting.
