I was initially apprehensive about using flowers in my sandwich, but it fit the themed week. So why not!?
Apart from trees, I also like growing as much veg as I can. I have a cornichon de Paris plant (mini cucumbers or gherkins). I grow these as they are amazing pickled. It works hand in hand with the hamburgers I make.
I figure I will start harvesting this plant and start pickling as of next week.
This plant is in full bloom and there are loads to collect for my sandwich.
To all sandwich makers out there. Go check out this contest: Steemit sandwich contest week 35.
Big shout out goes to @jaybird for organizing this contest.
I used the following to make this sandwich:
Bread:
- Wheat flour
- Water
- Yeast
- Salt
Filler:
- Pepperoni
- Mantecoso cheese
- Baby cucumber flowers
- Sriracha
Love to see u use cucumber flowers!!!! Those are sooooo good stuffed with ricotta, chillies and fried in beer batter!!!! Great sandwich, excellent combo!

I was quite adventurous by using the flowers, but in the end it turn out well. What you are describing is like wow! I never knew that was a dish. You going to do it and post it?

Like I said before, your sandwiches always make me smile.
Baby cucumber flowers is something I could not have guessed in a million years. Nice!

Me too, but I walked past this plant everyday for months and it was worth a try :)

Great up from me! 👍👍 I know the little flowers, cause I planted some cucumbers last year. But brave to eat the flowers :-) how them taste?

Excellent add! I didn't know cucumber flowers would taste like cucumbers. Were they a little spikey? I'll have to try that sometime.. Do you make bread and butter pickles? That was my use for the little pickles. Great job!

I removed the spikey parts which was quite easy. Only used the petals. Bread and butter pickles.. this is new to me, what are they?

Bread and Butter pickles are wonderful. They are sweet. Onions, peppers with a sweet marinade. Always a favorite.

Ha Yes! Great choice with the flowers! I've had a few entries from time to time utilizing wild flowers. I like them in salads sometimes too! Bet the cucumber taste worked out well!
Sandwich on a whole looks dope!

I will definitely make a salad with them. I have thai basil and they flower once in a whole. Next sandwich is going to be a whole lot harder to come up with.

We know in Italy they have 'Flores de zucchini' as a dish. Very delicious, although fattening as the flowers are deep fried in batter with mozzarella inside (sometimes an anchovy too). Though, it good to use everything part of the plant if you can. This sandwich looks like the real deal and good sport on getting behind with the contest. 😊

We can give it a go! Sandwiches are not really a big thing here in Thailand. More rice and noodles based dishes that cost way less than buying bread. So, by the time you add the ingredients to your sandwich, it can cost quite a bit. To put it into perspective, a 6-inch Subway starts from $3 upwards here (and that's the simple sandwich fillers). We see you make your own bread, maybe it's something we could look into trying.

I wouldn't worry about the bread part. The sandwich isn't defined to mean that is must contain bread. You just have to be creative. This week is a themed week. Home baked bread is unbeatable in so many ways :)

Yes, we guess that is true - once had two slices of ham with a piece of cheese in the middle....called it a breadless sandwich, yet it was still a sandwich. Hummm, we'll have to think out of the box for 'themed' week. We'll see if we can come up with something, otherwise we'll skip to start on the following week. :)
