Roast Beef and Horseradish
Roast beef and horseradish sandwich: cold rare beef and creamed horseradish on a bloomer, the Sunday joint carried into Monday. One fierce condiment doing the work the heat of the roast no longer can.
The Roast & Sunday-Dinner Sandwich
Roast Beef and Horseradish
Roast beef and fresh horseradish, grated from the raw root at the last moment: a volatile sinus heat that flares and fades within the hour, set against cold rare beef.
Hog Roast Roll
The British hog roast roll: pulled shoulder, hard crackling, apple sauce and stuffing in a floured bap, carved to order off a whole spit-roasted pig at country shows and Christmas markets while.
Gammon Sandwich
A cured pork hind-leg steak grilled until the fat blisters and folded into buttered white: the gammon sandwich eats like a small salty chop in bread, the pub carvery plate stripped down.
Gammon and Pineapple
Grilled gammon steak with pineapple in soft white bread: the fruit's sugar and acid cutting a wall of cure, the cafe leftover of the 1970s gammon-steak-and-pineapple plate.
Duck and Orange
Duck with orange sauce; classic French-influenced pairing.
Dripping Toast
Beef dripping (rendered fat) on toast with salt; old-fashioned comfort food.
Christmas Sandwich
Cold roast turkey, sage-and-onion stuffing and a stripe of cranberry sauce, folded into a buttered bloomer the morning after Christmas, or sold in a chiller cabinet from early November.
Bread and Dripping
Bread and dripping is the roast with no roast left: beef fat set firm, spread where butter would go, the dark jelly underneath the prize. A cook's pot of it sparked the 1865 Leeds Dripping Riots.
Beef Dripping Sandwich
Most sandwiches treat fat as what carries the filling; this one makes the fat the filling. Set beef dripping scraped from the basin, the dark jelly underneath, a hard hit of salt.
