30 Gourmet Sandwiches #19: Nicoise Hero

This ones another "not really my thing" type and we're about to go make do with a lot of compromises. Yay.


Got a nice small baguette, lettuce, tomato, lemon... went ahead and boiled some eggs earlier. I HATE olives so no olives i'm just gonna go with the capers instead. They were out of green beans so i got mangetout beans, those are good salad beans anyway. And lastly, tuna... im quite fussy about tuna so i wanted to get some frozen tunasteak and cook it myself but they were FRESH OUTTA THAT TOO so instead we really are getting canned. At least its in olive oil.


Mm yes. not bad. It smells like cat food most certainly, but like, good cat food i guess? I can eat this.


Looks like its got lettuce on the bottom. sure. already I know its gonna be an unwieldy one.


All the tuna and plenty of capers. Wait, how many capers is plenty of capers?


I just need to chop up a little bit of tomato and beans.


veggies in and a good squeeze of lemon over it all. No sauce or anything I guess. Actually that's probably for the best, theres a lot going on here.


And lastly, the sliced boiled egg. Is it me... or is trying to close these sandwiches a whole art? How do they do it? I'm too european for this. I just put some cheese between breads and call it a day.

It's edible. It's like a... plain undressed but relatively upmarket cat food salad. This one goes out to people who choose tuna sandwiches when there's options for literally any other sandwich on the menu. You're so mysterious. Couldn't be me.
