6 sandwich combinations you haven’t tried
While most people generally won’t get more adventurous than peanut butter on multigrain, there’s a world of weird sandwich combos out there. There’s a huge range of weird sandwich combos out there from the potentially-delicious to the “should-be-classified-as-biohazard”. We take a look at six of the strangest sambo combinations you probably haven’t tried yet:
1. The Elvis – There’s a reason The King didn’t make it past 42. The Elvis sandwich brings together peanut butter, sliced banana and bacon on a toasted bread which might not sound that appetising on paper but works in practice. You’d trade your best pair of blue suede shoes to get a bite!
2. The Luther – Named after legendary singer/songwriter Luther Vandross, the Luther is definitely a sandwich that belongs on the upper peak of the food pyramid. The Luther is basically a cheeseburger with glazed donut in substitute of a bun and should only be consumed once every 10 years.
3. The Double Down – Briefly offered to KFC patrons who were obviously looking to decrease their life expectancy, the Double Down was appreciated by some but feared by many. In lieu of bread, the Double Down uses two fried chicken fillets as a base for bacon, cheese and special sauce.
4. Rubik’s Cube Sandwich – Perfect for people who like Rubik’s Cubes and like sandwiches but don’t have enough free time to pursue both of these interests separately. This sandwich is served crust off with cubes of pastrami, kielbasa sausage, pork fat, salami and two types of cheddar.
5. Tastycake Sandwich – Did you know a restaurant in Philadelphia was serving chocolate covered, peanut butter flavoured sponge cakes with cheese burgers? Adsum Restaurant has since taken the notorious item of the menu, but just thinking about this sandwich makes us want to go for a jog.
6. Macdonald Sandwich – While the name may conjure up a different culinary image, the Macdonald Sandwich is easily the most expensive, luxury item on the list. Named after UK chef Scott Macdonald, it cotains fresh lobe foie gras, black truffle mayonnaise, brie de meaux, rocket, red pepper and mustard confit and English plum tomatoes.
There’s a world of sandwich combinations out there, and while some should technically be banned by the Department of Health, it’s proof when making a sandwich the only limit is your imagination.
