I love sandwiches. You know that part in Mostly Harmless where Arthur gets a job as the local sandwich-maker? Nay, sandwichsmith! That was just about my favorite part of the entire Hitchhiker's trilogy.
My new favorite sandwich is a cheese sandwich on a sourdough roll with lettuce (ideally green leaf), tomato, mustard, mayo and - most important of all - horseradish. I love horseradish. Deli mustard with horseradish in it will do in a pinch but for the ultimate sandwich experience, you need a higher horseradish-to-mustard ratio. Just a smidge of Dijon mustard plus about twice as much each of mayonnaise and horseradish spread is perfect.
As for the cheese, it depends what I'm in the mood for. The ones I've tried so far, and they're all good, are Jarlsberg, Havarti and Provolone. Provolone is a little mild, the sandwich needs a bit more salt and pepper if you go for that. With stronger cheeses, just a pinch of salt and pepper to bring out the flavor of the tomatoes is good.
Finish it off with a crisp pickle spear on the side and maybe some salt and vinegar chips and Orangina. It is the best lunch ever.
