UNTOASTED OPEN TOMATO SANDWICH AND CRACKERS-LECINQBLOG'S AFTERNOON SNACK SERIES
I am CURRENTLY a PRACTICING PHYSICIAN .However, I did complete TWO YEARS of college studying GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY, Food technology,Food Microbiology and Biochemistry prior to deciding that I am more inclined to the CLINICAL SIDE of things and hence decided to get into MEDICAL SCIENCE .I did very well in medical school thereafter and am now a "kick-ass" doctor .My interest in "Food" and the "Science of cooking" continues to this day and explains why I now have a Food blog as part of my LECINQBLOG family.I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.
At around 3:30 or 4:00 in the afternoon, I feel the need for a snack.I love to lounge around with some coffee and a snack during this "tea time" period, which officially qualifies as the "british afternoon high tea" TIME.If there is one concept I LIKE about the british, IT IS THE HIGH TEA AND CAKE concept..and those cute finger sandwiches too.:))
I went vegan in 2008, but prior to that I was OVOLACTOVEGETARIAN.The picture is from 2007.That explains the melted cheese on the bread.NO MORE COW milk cheese for me (for most part)
MY favorite crackers are these cheese crackers that are in the picture. They are savory crackers with cheesy savory creme sandwiched between.All savory,nothing sweet about them.crispy,crunchy,cheesy...mmmmmm.
Also, it comes in large packs of small snack packs,with each snack pack containing around four to six sandwich crackers.And the WHOLE big pack comes pretty CHEAP .I HAVEN'T eaten these since I WENT VEGAN,so, I HAVE FORGOTTEN how much the whole big pack actually costs,but all I am sure of is that it WAS JUST TOO CHEAP and very affordable.IDEAL for college kids on a SEVERE budget.NOT SO HEALTHY,but see, this could be your GUILTY PLEASURE along with an apple or another fruit.yeah?
I like soft untoasted bagutte slices with tomato,olives and cheese on them, slightly melted in a microwave.IT TOOK ME 15 minutes to assemble this WHOLE SNACK SET.Then I WOULD SIT, with coffee and slowly eat this SNACK while watching the skies from my apartment.I miss that apartment from back then.
POSTNOTE: Recipes not included due to plagiarism concerns.I device and design my own recipes all the time and I am saving up all recipes for a FUTURE VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK.
