Sandwich madness

So all morning I've been looking forward to my roast beef salad sandwich for lunch, but when I opened the beef, it had gone off and had a very ripe smell to it
 
I'd been to my mums for a brew last night and we were talking about a sandwich shop in the market in town, that does the best butties ever, so as I live quite close to town, I set off for one
 
You always had to get there early, but it was shut when I got there at two. So I set off round town looking for a roast beef sandwich

Could I find one? Could I F%$k! Our cat sitter works on a food stall in town, but she couldn't help as she'd ran out of baps. Every other likely candidate was shut or shutting. Even the pie shop was shutting. I couldn't get a sandwich for love nor money

So I came home and had a frozen curry with two slices of buttered toast
 
My job at work is planning. My very livelihood depends on my planning skills. But today I couldn't even plan a roast beef butty
 
Lunch round here needs a rethink
 
Enjoy your weekend

Tragedy! I don't know how I'd cope in such a situation.

Oh, I dunno. Par for the course for a 'planner'!

Jannie - It was difficult, I'll tell ya!

Bucko said...

Anon - I'm not a public sector planner, so not that bad

I've been enjoying using wholemeal pita rounds, slice in halves with a serrated knife.
Although I freeze them and warm up in a toaster at home. Supposed to be good for days.

Then a lashing of butter, smashed avocado, and your protein of choice, sliced gherkins.
Lettuce perhaps, whatever salad ingredients. I don't think acidic tomatoes go well with bread.

Protein might be your roast meat previously bought from a supermarket, salami, cheese, olives.

Or as a nod to vegans, tempeh & beetroot. Ha!

For lunch today I had a bacon and single egg version, with avocado, gherkin, relish, lettuce.
And a few red onion bits and mushroom slices in with the bacon. Skipped the garlic this time.

How you would take that or any variant of it to work I'm not sure.

Get creative! ;=})

This story wasn't anything to do with you was it?

RdM - I do get creative: Slice of buttered bread, beef, sliced tomatoes, cucumber and peppers, more beef, another slice of buttered bread. Anything else is just overkill.
Oh, and there's no excuse for avacado :-)

Bucko said...

Stonyground - Could be. It was all a bit of a blur :-)

What a rant that was. I like how racism was thrown in there too. The human race is doomed

RdM said...

Bucko;- I forgot about cucumber and peppers, much loved too.
Avocado just happens to be in season here.
And there are several, even many, definitions of bread. ;-)

Bucko said...

You won't have it over there RdM, but the bread has to be Warburtons (Although I do like a small baton every now and then)

RdM said...

You're right, I don't know Warburtons...
And a small baton, Qu'est-ce que c'est?
We'll have to compare breads some time.

Meanwhile in the background here the live HM QE II funeral.
So much Anglicanism! ... I grew up with it.

God ...

But the organ swelling over the walk out ... nice.
