Home of the World’s Best Sandwich

14th Oct 2011

Not only can Melbourne lay claim to the title of World’s Most Liveable City but it is now also home to the World’s Best Sandwich. Can this city get any better?

The 2011 World Sandwichship was held at the Sydney Opera House last Friday, and it was a Melbourne chef who took first prize. Matt Wilkinson created a ham and three tomato pickle toasted sandwich with Welsh rarebit fondue, to win the title of World’s Best Sandwich.

The (now famous) cheese toastie was judged by the Australian Sandwich Association on presentation, taste, innovation and ‘wow’ factor. The co-owner of Pope Joan in Melbourne said “I wanted to do the humble sandwich and Australia proud”, and Matt, we think you’ve done just that.

Need some inspiration for your own humble sandwich? Why not try our delicious Coronation Chicken filling? Or do you have a favourite filling of your own?

I have always had two favourite sandwiches -

Toasted peanut butter
Crushed nuts and vegemite.

YUMMY!

Some may remember Mock Chicken. I was at a function where lots of young people seemed to be competing for the best dish. I took along Mock Chicken Sandwiches and everyone wanted the recipe.

This is a very easy sandwich spread popular with my mother's generation and not very often heard of now.

Ingredients:
1 tomato (finely chopped)
1 onion (finely chopped)
1 tsp (or more) mixed herbs
1 Tbsp butter (oil if you must)
1 Tbsp grated tasty cheese
2 Tbsp fresh breadcrumbs (more or less - you'll find out later)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 egg

Saute very gently tomato and onion in butter for 15 minutes until soft.
Remove from heat.
Stir in the remaining ingredients until it all comes together and looks a bit unpleasant (Hope this doesn't put you off but my grandson said 'it looked as if the dog had been sick!!)
Put back on a very low heat stirring for a few more minutes making sure egg is cooked.
Cool, then put in fridge in a covered container until needed.
