Lunch today: tuna salad sandwich with american cheese on toast  
Lunch a couple days ago: turkey, ham, and roast beef lunchmeat with swiss cheese and spicy brown mustard.  
Earlier this week: a reuben at one of my favorite local restaurants.

> Blech! Every 10 years or so I try salmon to see if my tastes have changed. They haven’t. The only way I find salmon edible is smoked beyond belief. We’re not talking lox here. We’re talking catching the fish yourself, then throwing it in your smokehouse out back for however many hours (days) it takes to get a good, hot smoke on it. Then can it and eat it like candy all winter.

Sounds like you’d be a good candidate for a [Kipper Snack sandwich](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnQx2kglDKQ)…lots of smoky fishiness (or fishy smokiness) going on with those for sure. Make it like the guy in the video (see how he’s trembling in anticipation), but sneak a layer of thick-sliced cucumber between the Kipper and at least one of the pieces of bread (with a thick slather of mayo), otherwise—no good. You need that cucumber taste and crunch; it makes every sandwich better.

I am on a toasted English Muffin kick, so for today:

Breakfast: toasted English Muffin with peanut butter and sliced banana.

Lunch: toasted English Muffin with Bone Suckin’ Mustard, basil leaves, a thick slice of greenmarket tomato, and 2 slices of Muenster cheese.

Dinner: the same as lunch, but no basil leaves, and very ripe avocado spread on the English Muffin instead of the mustard.

I might have the same thing tomorrow!

I can only remember the last one, which was a Roast Melt at Denny’s. My gosh, that was good!

The last one I had was a rodeo cheeseburger from BK, not bad actually.  
Before that a chicken parm from Get Go which was far better than I expected  
I had a grilled Swiss on Rye and a homemade lobster roll before that, can’t remember which was first.

Yesterday’s BLT: local deli bacon, ripe tomato from the farmer’s market, lettuce from our back yard; toasted olive ciabatta with mayo.

Today: a shrimp po’boy from the Cajun cart down the street; they get the rolls directly from a New Orleans bakery

Two days ago: a passable burger at a roadside inn

We hit Hitchcock Deli on Bainbridge Island today and swapped sandwich parts, so my last three were:

-Pastrami. Excellent. My favorite.  
-El Greco. I dislike sweet pickles, and this was smothered in them, so not so great.  
-PB&J. So good my five year old picky eater ate an entire half and raved about it. I took two big bites out of the other half and raved, also.

I love salmon salad. It’s like a more assertive tuna salad.

Right now: Italian Club from Zoccoli’s.  
Last Tuesday: Roast turkey, avocado, basil, cilantro, butter lettuce, mayo in whole wheat flatbread.  
Prior to that: Egg salad on wheat foccacia.

I agree. I love salmon but it just doesn’t work for me cold. If I had some flaked salmon, I’d use it to make fried salmon cakes.

I like to have a can of salmon around for fish cakes. ISTM the only times I’ve had salmon salad was when it was on tomato slices or in a hollowed-out tomato. I can’t remember ever having it in a sandwich.

To replicate the bologna sandwiches of my youth, I’d have to use Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise. And Wonder Bread.

I don’t eat a lot of bread, so the last sandwich I recall was a week or two ago and it was roast chicken, iceberg lettuce, sliced pickled beetroot and kraft singles.

Prior to that…does mooshing two slices of pizza together so it has crust on top and bottom count?

Metro Deli roast beef on an onion roll with baby green, mayo, mustard and Daiya fake Cheddar cheese  
Metro Deli Cubano Pork on a tortilla with jalapeno cream cheese, a dash of mustard and baby greens  
Metro Deli smoked turkey, uncured bacon, Daiya fake Swiss, baby greens, mayo and mustard on white bread.

Yes, I do love Metro Deli meats - no nitrates, locally made, absolutely fabulous. I’m less in love with Daiya. I miss real cheese SO much.

~My own perfect homemade \*\*egg salad \*\*stuffed in a buttered and grilled New England style hot dog bun  
~\*\*Moons Over My Hammy \*\*at Denny’s  
~ **Poindexter** –no bread involved. Spread a slice of deli ham lightly and evenly with Hellman’s mayo, lay a thin wedge of Kosher pickle on it and roll up. Make two and count them as sandwiches. Sometimes bread just gets in the way.

Today - BLT with tomatoes from my garden  
Yesterday lunch - lobster roll at Logan Airport

If you count a hamburger as a sandwich, I had one last night at Wendy’s. If not, another BLT Thursday afternoon.
