Sandwich Day! Share your best sandwich recipe.

Is there such a thing as the best sandwich? I dunno cause I have a lot of sandwiches that I like a lot. There is the ever popular club sandwich in various forms which suit almost every taste bud and belly. It is a double decker sandwich with usually a chicken salad, egg (in many forms like egg salad, fried egg or omelet), then tomatoes, onions, cucumbers (optional) and lettuce and plenty of mayo. Sometimes bacon. Which for me is mandatory!

Even a nice BLT would be fine! Lots of crispy and delicious hot bacon, lettuce and tomato with mayo. How about a fried chicken sandwich? What about a pulled pork sandwich? Oh my, i am feeling hungry now! But I would like to let you that I was a co-creator or atleast a bystander when an impressive sandwich was invented. My cousin Navin at the age of 10 or 11 came up with the cheese and tapioca chips sandwich which I dubbed the Navin sandwich after him.

And then there is the almost bizzare sandwich created by my other cousin Arun. A double decker sandwich – one layer is filled with spicy pickled prawn achaar and the other with jam. The jam was to cool down one’s tongue as the spicy prawn achaar was too hot!

Have you ever bought one of those “as seen on tv” items? Was it worth it?

No never though I have been tempted on many occasions. There have been a few that have caught my eye, but most have been ridiculously priced that I have y doubts about them. Anyway, I will tell you about a couple that I did want to buy.

There is this mop – can’t remember the name – that is almost futuristic in it’s application and the technology that it uses. I remember watching it with my mom one late evening and I was asking her if she wanted to buy it. She did and so did I but we had our doubts about the genuineness of the sellers on the infomercial.

And then there is the Magic Bullet! Truly the best infomercial on the planet ever. I mean the almost 30 minute video – which was shown here in clips of 8 or 10 minutes each is hilarious, though it surely wasn’t meant to be. But it has become my favourite and even a nostalgic favourite of mine. I want to buy the Magic Bullet someday.
