eat all the smith & deli sandwiches – #22, as-salami-lakum

Day 22.

This sandwich was another surprise. I had it low down on my list, but I was wrong. Damn, it’s good!

After the Godfather challenge I was a bit cautious about another chilli sandwich, so I approached this with some trepidation. I needn’t have worried.  This is easily consumable without beer (I am not sure if that is good or bad) with a chilli factor many notches down.

The chillies in this are not the super fierce pureed red chillies that come in the Godfather, but some Turkish style pickled green chillies that give a nice mild heat and tartness to the sandwich. Teamed with some chilli salami, pesto, black olives and some of the great house made mozzarella, it makes for a really excellent sandwich. It comes toasted, always a good thing in my book.

Funnily enough, after initially ignoring it,  it is now in my top 10. I’d happily eat it again and again.
