My One Hundred and Sixth - Club -100 Meals You Never Thought You Would Eat Pureed - Recipes for Head and Neck Cancer patients
RECIPE
Soup and sandwiches always go hand in hand. The temperatures in Boston have been running from 45-85 degrees. All week, I've been craving a club sandwich and it took me a while to buy all the ingredients, because I normally don't keep them in the house.
I've never been a fan of the mess created by eating a club sandwich, so this is a wonderful option
Pureed club sandwiches are much neater than regular ones - granted you don't get the crunch like a real one.

TOASTED BREAD
Many club sandwiches have three layers of bread, but the third layer only makes the puree thicker, without adding any extra flavor.
DOLLOP OF MAYO

DOLLOP OF MAYO
Yes, that sounds like a lot. Unlike a real sandwich you don't get the mayo squishing out of the corner of your mouth that you get to lick off. So, you don't get a spike of mayo flavor.
LUNCHEON MEAT
Some people use turkey. Some people use beef. Some people use chicken. Truth is, it doesn't even have to be luncheon meat. Roasted chicken breast works well too.
PORK
I'm a fan of bacon, and I understand people like ham in their club sandwich. I won't judge. I think it is important to have a salted meat though . . .
TOMATO
Beefsteak is the standard for club sandwiches. I find that cherry and grape tomatoes have become my standard for measuring tomatoes to add to purees- strictly because I tend to have a lot of half sliced tomatoes in the refrigerator. They are also my favorite home-garden vegetable.
LETTUCE
Use what you like. I find I get a better puree with softer leaf lettuces like - Boston Lettuce or Red Leaf Lettuce. I feel I get more "Greenness" per ounce. I'll use Romaine in a pinch.
MUSTARD
I've hidden mustard down here for two reasons. First, mustard can overwhelm the other flavors. Second, mustard can burn the mouth for lip-sippers.
