Sandwiches are beautiful...

When I was a young lad there was this crazy kids musician my parents used to play for my brothers and me; Fred Penner was his name. Fred's biggest hit was a lovely ditty called "Sandwiches are Beautiful", and if I'm not mistaken that song went something like this:

"Sandwiches are beautiful
Sandwiches are fine
I like sandwiches I eat them all the time
I eat them for my breakfast and I eat them for my lunch
If I had a hundred sandwiches I'd eat them all at once..."

It has now recently come to my attention that Fred is from America's Hat; that's right Fred is Canadian! Regardless, I couldn't agree more with that crazy hockey loving kids song singing weirdo. Sandwiches are a great, compact way to eat a bunch of different things, all in one neat little package. Unless you get a messy sandwich...

Which brings us to yesterday's lunch. Earth, Wind, and Flour serves pasta, pizza, and yes, sandwiches. The pesto pasta we had yesterday with our lunch was fantastic, light and green and delicious, as was the salad, but the real star was the sandwiches so lets get to those.

The Cold Cut Trio: I haven't the slightest clue what the trio entails, but I know one third of it was bologna. Which begs the question: what is bologna? Well, I looked it up, but didn't get farther than the phrase "Bologna sausage is generally made from low quality scraps of meat cuts" before I wanted to puke. Suffice it to say, I whole heartedly enjoyed this sandwich, despite the bologna, and that means it must've been spectacular in all other facets.

Turkey Avocado: Here comes the difficult part to assess. The sandwich as a whole was very good, but the avocado, as it tends to do, was being difficult. Avocado not staying in place, leading to alternating bites off all turkey and all 'cado (that's right I'm from the hood, what of it?). Avocado sliding out the sides, so I was forced to attack it like the new girl on a porn shoot -- "just open your mouth, it'll fit!" It was a messy way to eat a sandwich, to say the least, but the payoff was one last bite off turkey & avocadoey goodness. If you have no shame, definitely worth it.

All in all, this simply reaffirmed my faith in sandwiches, and Canadians. Thanks Fred Penner.
