Cibo's Gamberetti Sandwich

My foodie family loves to dine at Cibo whether it’s for lunch, snack or dinner. Last week, my dad and I dropped by Cibo Greenbelt 5, to share a gamberetti sandwich (chopped cooked shrimp with alfalfa sprouts and lemon mayonnaise sandwiched between toasted white bread) for snack.
The gamberetti sandwich was light enough to tide us over till dinner and just right for a relaxing afternoon.  My dad paired his half of the sandwich with fresh pomelo shake while I had hot chamomile tea.  It was perfect.

Rumor has it that the Earl of Sandwich invented the sandwich.  Because he would not leave the gambling table, he had his meals of meat pressed between two breads delivered to him at the table and thus the sandwich was born.

Turkey Patty Sandwich

My usual breakfast consists of cereal and soymilk, but one morning I had turkey patty sandwich. Found the turkey patty on the table, browned in a non-stick pan brushed with very little oil and decided to rummage thru the refrigerator for my sandwich ingredients. I found whole wheat toasts, mayonnaise, ketchup, lettuce and tomatoes. Smeared one of the toasted wheat bread with mayo and the other with ketchup, this supposedly water-proofs the bread from the damp veges and moist filling. Then piled the turkey patty, lettuce leaves and chopped tomatoes. Voila! Turkey patty sandwich paired with hot french-pressed coffee. Perfect perk-me-upper.

Rumor has it that the “sandwich” was named after John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. He favored this type of food because it allowed him to continue playing cards while eating.  I agree.  I sometimes go thru work uninterrupted with a sandwich in my hand for lunch. Dinner, on the other hand, I reserve for the enjoyment of food and company.
