This is a Vietnamese style sandwich, my family (mainly my father) buys a whole bunch of them every once in a while. By a whole bunch I mean like, twelve all at once and they take up a lot of space in the fridge. And while they taste good, I personally don't like them all too much but I eat one or two to try and make space for other things.
As you can see it contains pickled white radishes and carrots along with parsley and some cold cuts. There's like this...mayonnaise or spread on the inside, I don't really like it since it reminds me of lard or something D:
It's also spread with liverwurst (I think) on the inside as well. The bread is what gets me though, if it isn't fresh the whole thing gets soggy and if you heat it up the bread gets hard and it cuts the inside of my mouth. So troublesome to eat...
All in all, I don't like these sandwiches. I call them the 'fishing sandwiches' because the only time we ever buy them in bulk is when my dad goes of a charter or fishing trip with clients or family or friends and he just buys a bag of them. Most of the time they don't eat them all and they just sit in the fridge until we toss them or my mom forces me and my brother to finish them. >(
I took a few bites from this one, yes, it looks unappetizing.
I've been slacking with these blog posts but I always forget or find myself being too lazy to upload the photos from my camera :T
The fishing sandwich.
Soda pop and cake
I decided to buy myself a unique little soda pop drink called Ramune at Shoppers Drug Mart today.
I don't know what Ramune translates into but it says 'Marble drink' on the back of the bottle so...I assume that's what it is.
Basically there's a marble capping the top of the pop bottle, you take a little plug that comes with the bottle and press down hard on the marble. It pops into the bottle and gets stuck in there and when you drink it makes a rattling sound. Kind of interesting and a nice novelty pop bottle to have around.
There are a few different flavors but I only get lychee because it's my favorite. Also, if you're looking for this in your local Shoppers Drug Mart I can almost definitely say you won't find it. The one I go to is sort of Asian influenced so I think that's the only reason they carry such an odd drink. I know some people who go downtown for Ramune maybe you have to order it off the internet??
See the marble?
I also bought something I've never tried before...
Tiramisu! I was at T&T's cake section (I was buying lychee jellies, lol, I love lychee) and bought a cake on a whim. It was SO TASTY. Wow, I never thought Tiramisu would be so yummy. My mom was telling me she hated it so I wasn't expecting much but wow does she have it wrong.
The cake itself was so cute, too.
Not much to say about it really, it was a cake and it was tasty. I like how it was shaped like a dome and packaged prettily. I could have done without that big blackberry though, it wasn't even sweet.
It was a week for sweets and I think I may have gained a few pounds...worth it? I think so.
