Herb Disaster


Our neighbour Sergio came up with an idea for a "Fresh Herb Sandwich". It was a new one on me, but apparently in his country they have fresh herbs as a sandwich filling! It seemed very strange, but I thought I'd try it out for Ray and me at the weekend, as we're always very keen to try new things - especially in the menu department!!
I didn't have any fresh herbs, but did have a jar of dried mixed herbs. I added a little water to make a type of 'fresh herb paste' paste, which I used as a sandwich filling (Ray likes a nice thick filling).
Sorry to say it wasn't very nice even with some salt and pepper, so it ended up in the pedal bin. No wonder Sergio is so thin!!
Anyway, to cheer us up after this disaster, I made a couple of traditional sandwiches. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients..
Bread (two [2] slices per person {white, sliced})
Cheese (Cheddar)
Butter (or low fat spread effect type product if you want the so-called healthy option!!)
Method..
Spread the spread on one side of the bread. Slice the cheese (if not already sliced) or you can grate it using a cheese grater if you want. Carefully place the cheese on one side of spread bread, popping the other slice on top (spread side down. Do you follow?). Cut into squares or triangles or oblongs whatever you want. Serve and enjoy. Wash up, wipe up and put away all utensils immediately. No-one wants the smell of cheese hanging around the kitchenette.
As an exciting variation, you can use sliced ham instead of cheese.

TTFN!!

    You may want to mention the handy "cheese strength" indication on certain packets of cheese (represented by a number often in a circle or square on the front of the pack). You may in be for a nasty surprise when instead of a mild number 1 sandwich you end up with an extra strong number 5(highest strength)sandwich on your hands!

    Thank you Anonymous for your comment. The so-called "cheese strength indicator" is a new one on me and looks a bit scientific. Has it been introduced by that sinister scientist/chep Heston Blumentoff with his mad bald head and space-alien glasses?
    Either way, paying attention to the "cheese strength indicator" can avoid another potential disaster.
    Ray and I would alwats be going for the "1" [milder] end of the scale. On cheese that is. TTFN
