    open faced sandwich

    My favourite cheese for that sort of sarnie is Havarti

    I ma fond of Havarti too and buy it often.

    For a non-light you up hot sauce try Cholula.

    I had it once and really liked it a lot but it's a stupidly
    expensive $7.99 for a mere 150 ml while the President's Choice
    Franks knock off is just $5.99 for a one litre bottle.

    Transport must eat a lot getting it to you. I pay U$4 or a bit less
    for a 5 oz (150 ml) wooden capped bottle. A five bottle variety pack
    (all different flavours) is about U$16 if memory serves. I don't know
    what effect the Twittermeister and his trashing of NAFTA will have on
    my prices .... but I have enough stock on hand to last past 2020.

    Cholula ...

    expensive ...

    Transport must eat a lot getting it to you.

    Well I'm 1000 miles north of Edmonton, Alberta, the nearest major
    distribution centre and rail head which in turn is 1800 miles north
    of San Diego and the Mexican border. The final leg here is by truck
    only, not rail (which is much cheaper). If a tractor trailer
    carrying 20 tons is charging $2.00 per mile I'm facing a 5 cent a
    pound surcharge over southern Canada. But as we export nothing but
    diamonds which don't weigh much and the trucker must deadhead back
    he charges double. And air freight rates are about 5 times as
    much, 10 times in the arctic for small turbo props that can land on
    gravel runways. The one grocery store and sole restaurant up in
    Kugluktuk pay $1.20 per pound to fly in perishable groceries which
    is why Roslind's hotel charges her $100 per day for three very plain
    meals.

    On the other hand smoked arctic char is just $30 per kg there (at
    the fish processing plant door) but $88 in NYC delis. Last night we
    had a huge platter of cold smoked char, about half a pound each,
    served up lox style with rye bread, onions, capers and lemon wedges.

    Title: Old Dutch Tomato Soup - Oud Hollandse Tomatensoep
    Categories: Dutch, Soups
    Servings: 4

    1 l chicken stock
    1 piece of bacon or ham rind
    1 onion
    1 lg carrot
    2 TB butter or olive oil
    2 TB flour
    1 kg tomatoes
    1 bay leaf
    salt & pepper

    Make the stock yourself or use bouillon cubes or ready made stock.
    Finely chop the onion and dice the carrot. Cut the rind in small
    pieces and quickly fry it for a minute in a dry skillet. Add the
    butter or olive oil and saute the onion and carrots. When the
    onions are transparent, sprinkle in the flour, stir and allow it to
    cook for a few minutes. Bit by bit pour in the stock, stirring
    throughout. Keep on stirring until the soup thickens.

    Quarter the tomatoes and add them to the soup, together with the bay
    leaf (take it out before serving) and let the soup simmer just short
    of boiling.

    Put the soup through a (rotary) food sieve or food mill and add salt
    and pepper to taste. Serve with crisp, wholegrain bread.
