Savory Sandwiches!

This week in Culinary 2, we focused on sandwiches. At the beginning of the week we learned about four different types: cold open, cold closed, hot open, and hot closed. Then, our instructor asked us to research and find an example of each type of sandwich for a lab we will be doing.

Wednesday, we were split into groups where we discussed our sandwich choices and chose the top choice for each category. After pricing out the cost of making each sandwich (which had to be under $1.50 per sandwich), we drew out of a hat to see which sandwich our group would make for competition!

My group drew the cold closed sandwich. Our choice for sandwich was a avocado cream cheese garlic spread with red pepper, red onion, lettuce, and cucumbers, all on a bagel. We invited guest judges to come and evaluate all of our sandwiches, along with everyone in the Culinary 2 class. The winner of the competition based on several evaluation questions was our sandwich! Whooo!




While reading about popular breakfasts around the world, I saw many different variations from seafood to noodles to the traditional pastry, eggs, and fruit. There were three, however, that stood out to me as very interesting and something I would eat.

First, the Hawaiian Breakfast consisted of several different types of fruit plus a bagel. This would be a very easy, refreshing, and quick breakfast that I would thoroughly enjoy. The fruits consisted of grapes, apples, oranges, strawberries, and a couple others.

Second, I liked the Canadian Breakfast. The typical Canadian breakfast consists of perogies, sausage, and toast. Perogies are dumpling-type pocket filled with potatoes, fruit, ground meat, etc. I have had perogies and really enjoy them, so I think I would enjoy eating this traditional Canadian breakfast.
