PTR asks the hard questions about sandwiches

You know when you get little triangular sandwiches on a big platter for lunch - the ones that are made with several brightly coloured yet strangely bland fillings in each one - and they are propped up on their little crusts so the points stick up in the air like upside-down bunting - have you ever noticed that they look more like drawings of sandwiches than they look like the actual sandwiches that they are?

I have.

It's good to see you start tackling the big issues.

This reminds me to ask you something I've been meaning to ask you.

What's your favorite sandwich?

Others have spoken their mind on this issue:

What a crime it is that such an astute sandwich pundit such as yourself has yet to weigh in on the matter.

If I could make a sandwich right now it would be:
- wholegrain bread
- green tomato pickle
- sharp cheddar
- roasted capsicum
- rocket
- cucumber
- grainy mustard

Mmmm...

green tomato pickle, wtf is that?

PTR said...

Astonishly enough, it's made from pickled green tomatoes.

"Astonishly" - obviously I meant to write "Astonishingly". Geez I need a holiday...

PTR,

Drawings of sandwiches eh?

I'm remembering all those years of art school - the live drawing class, striving to learn the techniques of the old masters, dabbling in oils, tentatively daubing water colours, being boldly textural with acrylics, still life, sketching... ah, yes, they were simpler times back then.

BUT, try as I might, I can't remember any drawings of sandwiches.

Has Rembrant knocked out a study of "Lady with Bacon Sarny"? Have they found a Monet - "Chip Butty floating past my water lillies"? Was Mona Lisa smiling at the thought of a big plate of egg & lettuce?

What adjectival drawings of sandwiches?
