Fellow South African here... drop the sriracha. add Tabasco or Crystal. Me personally add about 75ml for a whole chicken. And for the true experience... You need some cross&blackwell mayo. Terrible mayo, but it works. It's how it is done locally. I preferred Hellman's, but as of recent, it is no longer available locally. If I have time, I will make a Hellman's style mayo by myself. Lots of air, and a touch of xanthan. I'm making this fried version tomorrow.

A toasted Chicken Mayo is a staple in South African Delicatessens and coffee shops, done in a Pannini press rather than pan fried. The non toasted version is pretty good too and in some shops you can get a Chicken Mayo Croissant which is just as good too. Love this take on a South African Classic!

[@Solunium]

@@nikiTricoteuse Ooh! Tuna fishcakes sounds absolutely delicious right about now. I actually haven't made them myself before, but i think i should.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

@@Solunium They're my favourite easy meal. This is my version and, I like them so much that when l cook mashed potatoes l make extra, just so l can make fish cakes. If you don't have left over potato just boil 3 or 4 and mash them roughly. To the potato add some finely chopped onion, some finely chopped rosemary and parsley, a dash of hot sauce, tabasco or a sprinkle of chili flakes and a can of well drained slightly mashed tuna. Season to taste and mix well. Shape into patties, roll in flour, dip into beaten egg then breadcrumbs and fry over medium heat til golden. Make the patties slightly smaller than you think as, by the time they're breadcrumbed, they grow. It's been decades since l measured anything but l guess about ¼ cup or a heaped tablespoon. If l'm having them for lunch l eat them as is but, my daughter loved to eat them with sweet chilli sauce and for dinner l add a side salad. Depending on the quantity you make, they freeze really well too. Just freeze them uncooked and thaw them before you cook them. As long as there's enough potato to bind, everything else is to taste depending on how much tuna or rosemary or how spicy you like etc. For some reason I don't usually add garlic even though l love it, I've added it a few times but, feel it muddies the taste somehow. It's a pretty flexible recipe and great for making not much go a long way. I also make a more delicate version the same way but, with just potato, canned salmon and parsley. They're good too but, the tuna version is my favourite. 🙂

Out of all the videos you guys produce, I like the sandwich videos the best and this one doesn't disappoint. When it comes time to cutting it, I like to cut diagonally but come in from the point about 1/2 to 3/4 inches. It adds class, in my mind anyway.

[@jbeargrr]

I don't know what you mean by "come in from the point." Do you mean not cutting all the way to the corners? Or cutting off center so one piece is smaller than the other? Something else?

[@LifeIsThePrayer]

@@jbeargrr It’s about making your cut 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch back towards the crosswise cut. So like a compromise between the diagonal and crossways. I could live with that. I’m one who NEVER cuts diagonally because that results in two whole bites out of every half sandwich that is more crust than soft bread. But if I could get an extra 1/2 to 3/4 inch of soft bread and filling in that first bite I might give it a try at least.

[@jbeargrr]

@@LifeIsThePrayer I see. I like crust, and always spread out my fillings to the edges, so I get plenty of filling in every bite.

When I was growing up in the Midwest, these were called ’frenchees’. Cheese Frenchee was the most popular and sold in various restaurants (I’m pretty sure you can still get them), as were tuna frenchees.

[@Reyn_Roadstorm]

@@djmitchyslickofficial9717 Once something is named, the name tends to stick regardless of how inaccurate it is. I believe it was originally called the Middle West and later shortened to Midwest, likely due to people not fully understanding the geography of the continent. It's in the same vein as Native Americans being called Indians because the settlers thought they had traveled all the way to India. And despite knowing we are nowhere near India, there are still people today who call them that. It's one of those things you kinda have to not think about, despite knowing that it will probably irk you when you do hear it used.

[@InquisitiveSearcher]

Looks really good. However, you mentioned my favorite sandwich, the Monte Cristo. But not just any Monte Cristo, as I have tried several over the years, but the one that was *once* made by the by the restaurant chain Perkins. It used 3 slices of a wonderful yellow bread of type unknown to me that was prepared in a french toast style. Between one outside slice of bread and the middle slice was chunks of carved ham and cheese (not sure what kind of cheese) and between the middle slice and the other outside slice were chunks of carved turkey and cheese. It came served on a plate with a generous portion of raspberry jam on top with a sprinkling of powered sugar on top of everything. The sandwich was good and hot and the cheese was melted and runny. It was incredibly delicious!!! As I said, I have tried Monte Cristo sandwiches sold by other restaurants, and while good in their own way, they are just now what Perkins managed to create all those years ago. I have tried making it at home and I come close but never succeeded in duplicating the flavor of the Perkins sandwich. I can't seem to find the right bread or cheese or something, I can't even seem to find the right flavor of raspberry jam. Very frustrating!
