I got serious bánh mì vibes from this sandwich. The savory/sweet mixture of meats and slightly sweet pickles pointed in that direction. A good quality demibagutte would have helped; cilantro and hot peppers would have sealed the deal.
Laughing Cow has a mild, creamy flavor that along with the neutral bulk added by the egg and potato, helps offset the fiery heat of the harissa nicely.
The Tribunal has been writing about sandwiches for 10 years now, and if we’ve learned anything, it’s to eat more sandwiches.
There’s more to the merguez frites than just the fries: harissa, spicy and smoky, bright and earthy; merguez, salty, fatty, warmly aromatic, now brightly citrusy; sauce Algérienne, spicy, savory, citrusy and sweet.
In August, the Tribunal will be covering French Merguez Frites, Tunisian Mlawi, and Dutch/Surinamese Moski Meti sandwiches.
