ABC Sandwich

1 cup mayonnaise

18 slices toasted whole-wheat bread
Leaf lettuce

to remove any shells
Tomato slices
12 slices slab bacon, cut in half,
cooked crisp and drained

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, scallion and brandy, mixing well. For each sandwich,
spread three pieces of bread with a portion of the mayonnaise mixture. Cover the first slice of
bread with lettuce leaves, 2 ounces of crabmeat, and one or two tomato slices. Add the second
slice of bread, and top with the four half-slices of bacon, a layer of avocado slices, another tomato

wooden picks, if you like, and slice it in half.
Serve the sandwiches immediately.

Cant say I have... but it sure sounds good about now....

BTW You gave me an Idea to add shrimp to my Stuffed Sandwich recipe

I guess a pound of fresh peeled shrimp will do then you need the following

1 (7 ounce) jar pitted Kalamata olives, drained and sliced
1 1/2 cups diced, peeled white onion
1 pound ripe beefsteak tomatoes, chopped
1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves pressed garlic
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/4 cup wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
10 hard rolls
3 tablespoons soft butter
3 fresh basil leaves
Mix the olives, onion, tomatoes and cheeses in a large bowl. Set aside. Blend the garlic, salt,
pepper, basil, vinegar and oil into a dressing by placing in a covered jar and shaking. Pour it over
the ingredients in the bowl, and toss gently. Set aside.
Prepare each roll by cutting a shallow plug hole 2-inches in diameter out of the top, then pulling
out the soft inside. Make sure you leave some bread on the bottom. The pulled out bread can be
saved to make bread crumbs later.

Melt butter, add the fresh basil leaves and allow the basil flavors to infuse into the butter. Brush
some of the basil butter into the bottom of each roll. Place about 2/3 cup of the filling into each
roll, then replace the plug on the top. Use aluminum foil to wrap each sandwich individually. If not
cooking right away, place in the refrigerator and remove about an hour before baking. Bake in a
350 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

regretfully I developed a shellfish allergy in my late teens but some of those others sound amazing. Will definitely be adding them to the archives.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

'Nuff said.

(S+F, thanks for the thread.)

What does "1/2 cup beer, divided." mean?

with the last slice of bread. Slide 1 bamboo skewer into the top of the sandwich at each side. With
a sharp serrated knife, cut crusts off the edges of the sandwich. Make 2 diagonal slices through
the sandwich to create 4 equal triangles.

and place on a separate plate. Heat olive oil on a griddle over medium heat. Place all of the
skewers onto the griddle and brown for approximately 2 minutes on each side.

Balsamic and Apricot Syrup.

Oh man.....I just finish to eat and you made feel hungry again. I only read the first one, I must try that brandy mayo. Now let me print all that.

That sounds so good!

These all sound tasty. Now between my friend and I talking about pizza types and this Im starving and going to go get some pot pie I made last night lol.


Thanks for these!! My roommate will like this one too!

Ooh, one of my favorites. We always called it Welsh Rabbit. I think at some point it was changed to "rarebit" as a way to gentrify a perceived poke at the Welsh.

Sometime when you're doing this, substitute ginger ale for the beer. Let it sit out until it's flat. Good stuff, either way.

Daddybare not my recipe but this is how to make a shrimp po-boy.

a po-boy is a submarine type sandwhich which was invented in NEW ORLEANS around 1929.

try using a remoulade instead of using mayo is more authentic for the shrimp.

Another version is roastbeef, ham, chicken, but they use mayo for these except for the roastbeef. in which they use the gravy it was cooked in.

Ingredients
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons Essence, recipe follows
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 small French bread loaves, each about 10-inches long
4 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup mayonnaise, or more to taste
Red pepper sauce
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 large ripe beefsteak tomato, thinly sliced
Sliced dill pickles, optional
Hot sauce, for serving, optional
Potato chips, for serving, optional (recommended: Zapp's)
Directions
Heat the oil in a large sauce pan or preheat a deep fryer to 360 degrees F. Season the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the Essence, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the cayenne. In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour and cornmeal and season with the remaining 2 tablespoons of the Essence, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne. Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour mixture, coating the shrimp completely. Fry the shrimp in the hot oil, in batches if necessary, until golden brown, stirring constantly, about 4 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and hot sauce. Split the French bread loaves in half and brush both cut sides of the bread with some of the melted butter. Using a spatula, spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the bread, then sprinkle with hot sauce. Divide the shrimp evenly between the 2 sandwiches and garnish with the lettuce, tomato slices, sliced pickles and hot sauce, if desired. Serve with potato chips.
