Christmas Sandwich, The Ultimate, Viva Le Resistance, The End

My last Christmas post of 2015 having had a hearty Christmas dinner it is time to put an irritation to bed once and for all. I have bitched before about my inability to find a full on Christmas sandwich but today that ends.

Having searched the shelves for a Christmas sandwich to my taste without mayo and cranberry sauce the exercise as been futile with nearly everywhere forgoing the traditional butter and margarine as the official sandwich spread.
There must be a market for non-mayo fans like me while in Tesco’s like most other shops it is a plain ham sandwich on offer. It was suggested I try Subways where I could build my own but I don’t like the bread they use, I am fussy. I gave up in the end and locked myself away in a darken room to design my own cost no object sandwich.

I can build it. I have the technology. I can make a better Christmas sandwich than those mayo shop bought crap. Better, tastier, the first Peter Ugarte Christmas sandwich with butter. Not a normal Turkey sandwich a mini dinner between two slices of bread.

The makings of my ultimate Christmas sandwich.

Two nice slices of sandwich loaf crusty bread and spread a nice lump of butter. The makings was Turkey pre stuff with sage and onion stuffing with Turkey, of the chunky variety. I took a short cut here when I bought a couple of sage and stuffing pork sausages forgetting the Turkey was already stuffed. Can you get enough stuffing! Not in my book. I slit the sausage down the middle and baked two slices of bacon in the oven. A nod to healthy eating no fat used in the construction of this sandwich.

I decided to make a truly one of a kind Christmas offering by using left over veg and the rest. I mushed together cabbage, peas, carrots, potato, and a roast potato then shaping it and baking it in the oven to crisp it up.

There you have it the ultimate and no mayo in sight so sandwich boffins take heed and remember the butter/margarine resistance are watching you, Viva Le Resistance.
