Mega-Sandwich



Yes, I know I haven't posted in a long time. Sorry. Life. However, this sandwich I just threw together was pretty sweet.

Ingredients:
  • Deep fried turkey lunch meat (yes, this exists and is wonderful)
  • Turkey pepperoni (I recommend Bridgford brand; it seriously tastes like the real thing)
  • A few fresh basil leaves
  • Sliced vine ripe tomato
  • Garlic/herb cheese spread
  • Mayo
  • Claussen kosher dill sandwich pickle (and yes, I would argue it must be claussen)
  • Club sandwich roll

Do it. You will be glad you did.

However, if I were to do it again, and I had access to some buffalo mozzarella, I would definitely put some on there then grill the sandwich panini style.
