January-February 2012 in sandwiches

Dear r/eatsandwiches, thank you for visiting my blog.
(please ignore all the Hebrew around here)

This post was created with only you in mind, as I wanted to showcase the sandwiches I gladly ate in the last two months.
On this blog my co-writers review food venues in our local are (Tel Aviv, Israel), but I really wanted to do a piece on all the awesome sandwiches  I've digested since the begging of 2012 and share the miracle of food with you all, the people that supply me with my daily dose of sandwich porn.

There are two more days till the end of this month, and my sandwich priorities are to visit a nearby bagel based sandwich place tonight (they have this to offer), and to go to a place I haven't been to in a long time - (called La Gaterie) they specialize in one type of sandwich only; a huge butter croissant, with an assortment of cold cuts and cheeses to pick from, all topped with a poached egg (tucked inside).

I really hope you enjoy this visit and my photos of sandwiches.
Feel free to leave questions in comment form, or on r/eatsandwiches.

Pulled short rib sandwich, in a grilled sweet bun, with chef made ketchup and lightly brined cucumbers

 Shawarma in a lafa, with lots of fresh salad, all coated with amba - a sauce based on ripe mangoes w. fenugreek, mustard vinegar and tumeric

The pictures were not ranked in an order, all of the sandwiches were (almost) equally great.
If I had to pick my favorite one, it would probably be the pastrami one (first image).

Again, thanks for visiting!



P.S.
I actually ate a lot more sandwiches than shown here, but that happened mostly at home, so I didn't document them for my blog.
Sorry :(
