GLBTs


Wednesday 28 August
A couple of weeks ago, we noticed that our local hipster café, Sitwell's, was advertising BLTs with guacamole.  "GLBTs!" we laughed.  "How politically correct!"

Tonight we made them, and they're delicious too.  We used Holt's bran bread spread with mayonnaise for the bottom slice, then tiny red romaine leaves from the garden, then thick yellow and red tomato slices peppered and salted, then crisped nuggets of bacon (you need to break them up, otherwise you pull them right out of the sandwich when you bite them), and ultra-fresh guacamole on the top slice of bread, made by just smashing up an avocado with a little lemon juice and chopped cilantro leaves.  
Truly a rainbow sandwich.  Watch this great video, for a variation using gouda.  Unusual, but we are very accepting of the non-traditional.
