The Ultimate Sandwich

Different types of bread.

Bread is the main ingredient to a sandwhich. No bread, no sandwhich. It would be like having a guitar with no strings... pointless! The most common bread used in ireland is slice pan. Closely followed by soda bread. When using slice pan in your sandwich, my vast experience in these matters tells its best to very lightly toast each slice of bread to the point that it is crispy but not at all brown. This way, when you pick up your sandwich to munch on, it won't flop down and spill its insides all over the place. But I do not like Using slice pan for sanwiches. Slice pan is full of nasty preservetives to make the bread appear fresh when actually its five days old and theres mould growing on the other side of it!

I find the best, healthiest most flavoursome bread to use is always home-made. Theres nothing like steaming bread just out of the oven with butter melting slowly on top...yumy! When you mak your own bread you can decide wat type of bread it is, whether it is spelt bread or sour dough bread or naan bread or ciabatta bread or facachio bread or soda bread or just plain normal white bread. you can also have some fun choosing how you present the bread, whether you maske a plated loaf or make roles or just have a normal loaf. So i challenge you, next time you feel like making a sandwich, instead of using boring old slice pan make own bread of your choice! Have a ball! Knock yourself out!

There are different plants and animals that grow or live in different climates. The people living in these climates have their own food sources eg.in Europe we have cows, pigs vegetables...;in Africa they have giraffe and buffalo and other such animals! People make their food and sandwiches out of what is available to them. So a European lunch, diner or breakfast would be very different to a South American lunch, diner or breakfast. but the food in Spain would be very different to the food here in Ireland. Also there sandwichs would be very different!
A typical Irish sandwich would consist of either jam and butter or ham with a sprinkeling of cheese with mayonaise or some other such condament oozing out the side.116 In Australia you might find something mad like a kangaroo or koala bear sandwhich. In France you might find something slimey like frogs legs, snails, pate veil or liver...! Also different vegetables are used in different countries. In Ireland people put all different types of vegetables in their sandwhiches eg. letace, sweatcorn, beetroot onions and pickled gurkens. Spanish people might put peppars in New Zealand if you where a bit mad you might even put a yam in your sandwhich.
