The World's Greatest Ham Sandwich

Thursday, April 11, 2019 23:10

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I am always a mix of dubious and excited when I come across something which claims to be the world’s greatest anything, especially when it comes to food. Taste is something which is essentially a very personal thing, and what is my idea of the tastiest is not necessarily somebody else’s idea of tastiness!

So a part of me is a bit dubious, but this is also intermingled with the excitement of the hope that it actually is the World’s Greatest! I don’t know about you, but . . . generally speaking . . . that isn’t something that I actually want to miss out on!

That’s why when I saw this sandwich the other day on Delish, I was instantly intrigued. As a sandwich aficionado, something making such a bold claim definitely had my attention!

I put the ingredients on my shopping list to pick up the next time I went to the shops. They weren’t extraordinary, but there were a few things that I didn’t have in my house at the moment, such as sliced ham.

You might be able to fudge a few things, but ham . . . well, ham is ham! There’s no getting around that reality! And I didn’t have any red onion . . . or sour dough bread either!

And so I went to the shops a few days later with the express desire to pick up what I needed . . .

Predictably I came home with the ham, three bags of mini Easter Eggs, a box of Jaffa Cakes, some Dentastix for the dog, milk, eggs, rocket, tomatoes, etc. Everything but the sour dough bread and the red onion! Grrrr!

I am not one to give up however, so I decided to make the sandwiches anyways. I had some sweet pickled red onions in the refrigerator after having made Tacos, which I thought would work beautifully . . .

I also didn’t have any Provolone cheese. I don’t think I have ever seen that here where I live, but I did have some sliced Jarlsberg cheese which goes fabulously with ham, so I went with that!

I also messed a bit with the order of how I layered things onto the sandwich. I wanted the ham and cheese closer to the mustard, and the tomatoes and greens closer to the mayo! I have never been truly really fond of mayo with either cheese or ham . . .

But hey . . . I was willing to try it in a combination in order to fulfil my quest to eat the World’s Greatest Ham Sandwich.

Well . . . what I ended up with was one very, very tasty sandwich! I think the pickled onions were a taste hit, and probably infinitely better than the raw onion might have been!
