Cheese and Pickle Sandwich

I am determined to get my cheese and pickle sandwich on the blog. This sandwich is apparently the #1 favourite sandwich in Great Britain. (I retrieved this information from the Internet...so it's gotta be true). I fell in love with this food source the first time I went to England in 19_ _; I was in my early twenties and it was in the latter half of the 20th century and that's all you need to know. Cheese and pickle sandwiches were about the only thing I could afford to eat at the time.

The thing that you do need to know is that the "pickle" part of this sandwich refers to Branston Pickle, which is a very dark brown, savoury sauce similar to a lumpy vegetable chutney. It is available in Canada in most large grocery stores.

Ingredients:
- 2 slices of whole-grain bread (traditionally, white bread is used)
- 1 tablespoon of Branston Pickle
- butter for the bread
- as much old cheddar cheese as you like, either thinly sliced or shredded

Butter each slice of bread on one side. Arrange the cheese on one slice of buttered bread; spread the Branston Pickle on the other slice of bread and turn it on to the cheese. Slice the sandwich on the diagonal.

I've said it before and I'll say it again ......bread and cheese have made me what I am today.
