The author says this recipe was served at the Davidson Smorrebrod Shop, and an electrician ordered it so frequently, it became knows as The Electrician's Supper.

Just had to try this . . . and was very surprised on the outcome. Easy to prepare and the flavors melded together very nicely. Especially liked the thick slice of homemade dark rye with the pork and onions. DH, however, requested the apples on the side next time. Me, I thought it was very good in the sandwich.
