Hello Mary, we had these sandwiches yesterday and they were soooo good - that if I had my way I'd have it again, today! The pickles were optional for most of the people - and instead they used crushed red pepper flakes just a pinch mixed in with the Dijon mustard! Awesome!! Thanks for posting, Manami :)

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
