This post doesn't have too much to do with Paris, but I've made this sandwich twice now, and it's a game changer. Figs are big in Paris, and for a while this fall they were quite cheap, so I tried them and was a fan. Sadly, now they're as crazy expensive as the tiny box of dutch strawberries. But I found, and bought, a fig jam. Problem is, what do you do with fig jam? So I picked up this super multigrain bread from my favorite boulangerie that leaves a trail of seeds behind as you eat it. Very Hansel and Gretl. Then I read something about a sandwich with cream cheese and arugula and beets and smoked salmon, but I wasn't feeling the beets or cream cheese so subbed those out for the fig jam! It was all very If You Give a Mouse a Cookie... but it's a magical sandwich! And I'm counting on those Omega 3s to kick in for my final exams the next few weeks.
So to recap:
* fig jam
* multigrain bread
* smoked salmon
* arugula
Having Dr. Pepper with a sandwich always reminds me of Sundays in Germany, so that's a good thing, too.
Couldn't get Dad to go for smoked salmon, but we did have a delicious reuben-type sandwich on cranberry walnut bread. The sauerkraut was great, skipped the dressing....I think you would have liked it. Love the blue plate. Go Omega3s!
