An avocado. Not just your supermarket or even farmer's market size avocado, but a BIG avocado.
On our nightly neighborhood walk, we found it on the sidewalk. We had admired the tree and its fruit, but it was trimmed back so that the branches no longer hung over the sidewalk. The avocado wasn't pretty - dark or brown or yellow in some spots. But we didn't question our luck, and a few days after a rest in a paper bag with an apple, I sliced into it, and it was firm and buttery. There was only the tiniest of bruises on one end.
So, two weeks in a row, we had The Most Delicious Sandwich! We ate the rest with cucumber and ripe tomato, with slivers of red onion and tangy ume dressing. Yum!

The Most Delicious Sandwich
...was inspired by one eaten by Kathy YL Chan, of A Passion For Food.
Her vegetarian sandwich, from Olive's, in NYC, consisted of "California Avocado, Vermont Sharp Cheddar, Crunchy Sprouts, Red Onion, Tomato, Chipotle Mayo, and 7-Grain Bread".
The non-vegetarian sandwich we ate was: Hawaiian avocado smushed into the Baker Dude's multi-grain bread and sprinkled with garlic salt, Havarti cheese, 3 slices of microwaved turkey bacon, sliced WOW farms tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, another slice of Havarti. Heat a small amount of butter in a small pan and grill until golden, turn, add more butter and grill until the other side is golden.
I KNOW. Turkey bacon is NOT "real" bacon, but we don't eat bacon bacon unless it comes in a spinach salad or a sandwich. Then it gets picked out if it's undercooked!
I think what makes this the Most Delicious is the smushing, the garlic salt and the butter-grilled bread. The DH said it was Most Delicious as he ate it, avidly, voraciously.
