With Jac still away, there was just me to eat the bread – so I made more sandwiches for lunch. I used 6 slices of bread, and ate one of the sandwiches at morning tea time.
Along with the sandwiches, I packed a small piece of dark fruitcake and some spinach leaves and cherry tomatoes.
I made three different sandwiches: fried SPAM, mayonnaise and lettuce; chicken, cucumber, and strawberry jam; and chicken, cucumber, wholegrain mustard and aioli.

The chicken, cucumber, and strawberry jam combo sounds intriguing. Is it anything like cranberry sauce and turkey?
I really miss the notes! Either Jac should come back right away or you should start putting notes in your own lunch. Which ever is more convenient for you :)
mmmm, chicken, cucumber and strawbe– wait, what???
since it didn’t come with any introduction or description, i’m guessing you’ve made this before. now what i’m wondering is how you discovered this curious combination!
by the way, i love bacon, peanut butter and strawberry jam (grape jelly substitute; where can i get it here anyway?) — inspired by a spicks and specks episode which talked about elvis’ breakfast.
Megan,
Yep, it’s similar. But I think strawberry jam is sweeter. I like using any kind of berry preserve with turkey or chicken in sandwiches.
Lisa,
The notes will be back soon. :)
nat,
I got the idea from turkey and cranberry. I made us sandwiches sometime ago with turkey and this jam we had – cranberry and blueberry preserve. It worked well. Another time we’d run out of the cranberry and blueberry, so I made turkey and strawberry jam sandwiches, and they tasted great. It wasn’t that big a jump to then try chicken with strawberry jam. :) I’ve also made curried egg and strawberry jam sandwiches, which I really enjoyed!
Oh yes, bacon, peanut butter and jam/jelly is a great combo. Bacon goes beautifully with so many sweet things…
