food Sandwich of the Month

The Hot Pepper said:
You are really missing out then. I don't think I've even been out and had a good one. In the states this is a sandwich most of us are raised on. With garden tomatoes, bacon fresh from the pan, and that perfect toasting of white bread. A good amount of mayo with a little s&p sprinkling... and crisp iceberg lettuce (my gram would pick dandelion greens for hers). An American classic, but usually only when made at home.

     If you ever get a chance try nasturtium greens. Like dandelions, they have a bit more bitterness than plain ol' lettuce - which goes really well with mayo, sweet tomatoes and fatty, salty bacon. But they also have that sharp peppery flavor that can really make a BLT shine. The flowers taste great too.

I knew about the flowers, I didn't realize the greens are edible! I've been wanting to plant some for quite a while. Good to know!

Funnily enough had that as a kid too, used to be a place near the water where we'd pick it.

After seeing your picture pop up here a few times, it's funny picturing a little version of you running around picking watercress, haha! I picture some six year old metalhead, wearing a Motörhead t-shirt with the sleeves cut off or something, carrying a wicker basket :seeya:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:






























(Hammer pants too, maybe?! :rofl: )

     Definitely do! They are such a useful plant. Besides being tasty, they're loaded with vitamin C, they require almost no nutrients or water, they attract pollenators and they support resident populations of beneficial insects like ladybugs and hoverflies. And since there are trailing and dwarf varieties, they can fit in almost any size empty space in a garden.

     Growing up on AJ's farm, he was taught at a young age how to forage for edible plants and live in harmony with nature. But metal was always in his heart! :metal:
 
another variation on a BLT
 
this time with Alfalfa sprouts subbing in for the lettuce, and twice roasted Peppers and sharp Cheddar added;

Roast peppers once then allow to steam while they are hot, then peel, rinse, then hit them with flame again for just a bit to dry them up some for the sammich so they aren't soggy  :onfire:
