A Ziggurat of Carbs and Fat–the Wigan Kebab
Oh mushy peas. Where have you been all my life? How can something so ordinary, so simple be so perfect? They don’t add sweetness or acidity. But they add sunshine and joy somehow

Veggie Burger–Animal Style
There’s a rugged irregularity to the Beyond Burger’s texture that is very much like actual cooked ground beef. It browns like ground beef and pulls apart under your teeth like ground beef. It tastes almost like ground beef.
Sicilian Vastedda
The spleen is still the star of the sandwich though, no matter how it is dressed. It’s a strong, pervasive flavor from which the ricotta can provide only temporary respite.
Pittsburgh’s Turkey Devonshire
The sauce tastes like something that can’t decide whether it is a bechamel, a gravy, or a cheese sauce and ends up being none of the above. Elements of each present themselves and are subsumed by the whole.
Saltfish or Shark: Trini Fried Bakes
The saltfish buljol tastes much like a ceviche, with the citrus dressing against the sweetness of tomato and bell pepper and the pungency of the onions and culantro.
When (Not) in Rome: Trapizzino at Home
This is autumn in a stewpot, a glut of glutamates. The crisp-crusted bread houses an open but chewy crumb that absorbs sauce without falling apart or leaking it
Southern Simplicity: the Tomato Sandwich
These tomato slices are bursting with sweet juice that, complemented by mayonnaise and amplified by the salt and fresh black pepper, boosts the savory profile of the tomato flesh.
French Tartines
It was so delicious, the flavors so vibrant, that it almost hurt to eat it, and my jaw still aches thinking about it days later.
Turkish Tantuni
The reddish fat from the lamb combines with the tomato’s and onion’s juices to create a natural sauce rendering any additional condimentation redundant.
Taiwanese Breakfast Sandwich
The pork floss was an even better match for this sandwich’s flavors, its sweet/salty mix complementing the mayonnaise and egg, its cottony texture disappearing into the expanse of pillowy milk bread.
