I have to admit, I didn't know what to expect when I decided to try this recipe. I certainly wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed the sweetness of the pineapple and the mustard mixture. I couldn't find snow pea sprouts, so I replaced them with alfalfa sprouts. This sandwich is loaded with flavor, but be careful because it is a little on the messy side. I think if you like Hawaiian pizza, you will like this sandwich. Thanks for another great and unique recipe, Jewelies. Made for May, 2008 Aussie/NZ Swap.
