BRIEF: “VCR coffee nut butter, banana, chocolate ganache, candied walnut, house-made blueberry jam, seeded sourdough.” SOOT’S TAKE: Scrumpdillyicious and they make good bread too.

There were no Easter eggs, but there were plenty of the everyday kind and more than enough sourdough to go around, so this came together: boiled eggs just the way I like them-fully set whites with jammy centres-tossed in a punchy mix of mayo, Dijon, scallions, and pickles. Happy Egg Salad Sandwich Day.

Layers of marinated artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, fresh mozzarella, arugula, and cured meats — everything to love about an antipasto platter, conveniently tucked between two freshly baked ciabatta slices. Happy Sandwich Day!

This pretzel takeout place seemed to draw a bunch of people and since I was getting hungry, opted for this pretzelwich of cream cheese, tomato, cucumber and lettuce and ate it with a view of das Rathaus.

BRIEF: “Tomato Sauce, Mesclun, Black Olive, Cherry Tomatos, Anchovies & Mozzarella.” SOOT’S TAKE: Tried panuozzo (a pizza sandwich) for the first time at their promo price of $6.60 today. They prepare and wood fire their sourdough on the spot and fill them generously. Delizioso!

From the BREADFAST EVERYDAY booth at GastroBeats 2025. The sauce over the chicken was moreish. I could detect makrut lime leaf but couldn’t tell you what else went into it. Fries were okay.

So simple yet so solid. Happy to have eaten some of the rainbow with these, to have attempted a new baguette recipe and to have disposed off that box of leftover radishes I’ve been desperate not to let rot. 😮‍💨

Second-last of the 2 left in their case 33 min before closing, but still very good after toasting.

One of their vegetable creatures, consisting of cauliflower, tahini, tomato salsa, spicy green peppers, scallions

BRIEF: “Imagine freshly baked bread stuffed with tender sliced turkey, chicken ham, crispy chicken bacon, melted cheese, and your choice of tasty vegetables and condiments.” SOOT’S TAKE: I had mine on honey oat with tomato, onion, olives, corn dressed with Chipotle Southwest. So satisfying 20 h after my last meal!

Happy National Sandwich Day! Nobody at the table thought this was eggplant, but it was!

“Crisp croissant sandwich filled with smoked salmon with rich in-house recipe cream cheese, added with dill, capers and red onion.” The croissant itself wasn’t crispy but overall, it was a good sandwich (I liked that they piped the cream cheese) and I would repeat. Nice change from a lox bagel 🥯👍 #PastriWich

Quick, easy and satisfying. Making those hoagie rolls from scratch the day before was so worth it.

Lazy lunch… 🥯

Made everything from scratch: from the curried mash potato, chickpea-cauliflower filling, pickled onions and cilantro mint chutney right down to the roti! This is one of few things that gets to be relatively healthy and tasty at the same time. 😉

Made an epic sandwich for lunch 🥪 with Japanese milk bread that I also made in the morning. Yes, I began at ~ 05:30.

BRIEF: “Sriracha Chili Mayo, Smash Avocado, Hash Brown, Egg, Sliced Cheddar.” Ginormous sandwich of bagel-shaped Local Pickle Chili bread and all of the above. I had wanted to try the AH SENG but it was unavailable.

A decent enough ham and cheese pretzelwich. I think it was a tad oversold lol.

Better than the soup, and bettered by some hot sauce.

Happy National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! Everything from scratch, from the seeded sourdough to the peanut butter to the raspberry jam!

Club-ISH

Not bad for domestic airline food.

Happy National Sandwich Day! Spiced up cheese toastie of paneer, cheddar, potato with mustard seeds for extra kick and krunch! Or could this be a quesadilla? 🤔

My attempt to experience (if only very briefly) an Indian childhood. Essentially, it’s a slightly spiced up version of slaw sandwiched between slices of homemade white tin bread. It’s relatively guilt-free yet decent.

Lidia was pretty amused when I used the membrillo as a condiment with the salami. It was clearly a first in her kitchen.

I made this up too and so this was also a first in Lidia’s kitchen. 😆
