Tomato Sandwiches and My First Giveaway!

THE SOUTHERN TOMATO SANDWICH

(Give Away at Bottom of Post)

It's THAT time of year...the TOMATOES are Ripening

One local grower, Mr. Fowler, grows his tomatoes UNDERCOVER of a GREENHOUSE  but the plants are actually planted

IN RED ALABAMA CLAY DIRT...NOT POTS!!!

I'm originally from West Virginia and I thought I LIKED Tomatoes

UNTIL

I moved SOUTH and ate an ALABAMA Grown Tomato

Oh My Goodness...I LOVE LOVE TOMATOES!!!

Now, to the real reason for this post....

TOMATO SANDWICHES!!

Purists, like myself, claim you only need THREE Ingredients:

HOMEGROWN TOMATO 

(preferably straight from the garden!)

MAYONNAISE 

(HELLMANS my preference, what's YOURS?)

WHITE BREAD

(Plain Ol Soft Flowers or SunbeamWhite Bread or

Pepperidge Farm Sour Dough Bread when I'm being fancy)

SALT

(Some use Salt AND Pepper, I'm a Salt only kinda gal)

What else, you ask???  Absolutely NOTHING

NO MEAT, NO LETTUCE, NO CHEESE, NO PICKLE, NO MUSTARD

I've tried branching out by adding one slice of Cheese...I prefer the original

It's all about the sweet & salty combo

Some love Pepper & Salt...How 'bout you??

How do you Roll when it comes to Tomato Sandwiches??

Have you eaten one??

If not, Do you plan to taste test this southern delicacy??

OK
