Don't Want to Go to Town Fish Sandwich Longmeadow Farm

The day started out gray and menacing. A slight case of sleet was coming down. And a sneeze too. The farm had decided to take a break today and not bust anything terribly awful. Two tractors were being fixed somewhere up North, so none of us particularly wanted to go to town to grab a sandwich, which; we quite often do on Sunday at lunchtime. In fact, the fire was stoked, we were dry, and sleet is not that fun. At least with snow you can plow, or just make snow forts. So today, I decided to make a nifty sandwich for the two of us to eat, side by side, with our feet facing the wood stove. I wanted to whip together something that you had to lick your fingers because it was just that delicious. Also, I had to have everything on hand, right here at home, remember; we weren't going to town. Of course, make this your own fish sandwich. Add the cheese to the top, instead of the bottom, perhaps jalapeno cheese, use some soft bread, make the tartar sauce low fat, or; just grill some fresh fish, or lightly bread the fresh fish fillet, and bake. You might even add a bit of sliced tomato, or a bit of vegetarian bacon (especially for twissis), a big slice of onion, chopped lettuce, spinach leaves, etc. Whatever you chose, just don't go into town. You don't have to now. NOTE: I am sorry this disappointed the chef by having you adding salt and cayenne pepper. Please, anyone that knows my recipes, if you don't care for any of the items, please don't use them. It's ok by me to make this good for you and your family and to certainly not be wasting food. I am sorry this didn't work for you, but thanks for trying it. Show more
