Club Sandwich


When Alex and I go on holiday, like most young couples, we spend an awful lot of time in our suite......So apart from the usual amenities, I do also tend to judge a hotel by their club sandwich! 
Silly perhaps, but I really do think it is the best room service meal to have when you've just woken up from a long nap, whilst still in your fluffy white robe.
So if the club sandwich is bad, I can only wonder what the rest of the room service menu is like.

After returning from one holiday where the club sandwich was particularly awful, I thought to myself it really can't be difficult, so at Alex's request, I gave it a go.

I think the most important thing to remember when making any sandwich, the cold cuts and cheese needs to be of a high quality - just because it's a sandwich for a lunch time bite, not a 3 course dinner, does not mean we need to scrimp on quality ladies!

3 slices of toast - I prefer granary, Alex prefers white
iceberg lettuce leaves - not shredded
thiny sliced tomato
1 sliced chicken or turkey breast
4 grilled streaky bacon rashers
1 slice of jarlsberg
shop bought mayo (FYI ladies - boys never notice the difference when you switch to low fat)

assemble as follows:

toast + mayo + lettuce leaf + tomato slices + bacon slices
toast + mayo + chicken + cheese + lettuce + toast

spear with four cocktail sticks
cut into quarters
I like to serve this on a piece of slate or else a nobbled, rustic chopping board.

Serve with fries.......
.........and LOVE.......
