My most memorable tomato sandwich came about using beefsteak tomatoes
from the backyard, still warm "Rustic Italian Cheese Bread" from the
bread machine and (lots of) butter. I've posted that bread recipe here
a few times. No mayo and most definitely no Miracle Wimp.

Since I've got the china clippers I've had scant use for toothpicks
except as mini-skewers. And I have metal skewers that I use for most
purposes so I let them run out and not get replaced until this project
came along.

If I'm raising them myself the season can stretch well into September
and maybe October depending on the date of the fist "killing" frost.

What I grabbed was Wasabi Furikake. I use it on French fries and a few
other things. I keep, also, white miso and Shichimi Togarashi (rather
like Furikake but "zippier")

DD> True dat. And why only give scant attention to the groove tube.

RH> I give some attention to it, not a lot tho.

Here's a recipe from a TeeVee channel that used to was a lot better
than it is today. It's for restaurant sized quantities of stuff but it
looks interesting. If I ever have occasion to cater/cook for a large
group I might give it a go.

 RECIPE COURTESY OF: Broke Da Mouth Grindz

 FOR THE SWEET AND SAVORY SAUCE: Combine the brown sugar,
 white sugar, soy sauce and a sprinkle of black pepper in
 a braising pan with 4" sides. Whisk to dissolve, and
 then bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 2 minutes.
 Let cool to room temperature, then whisk in the garlic.

 FOR THE FRIED CHICKEN: Heat the frying oil in a
 commercial deep fryer to 350ºF/175ºC.

 Dust the chicken thighs in the flour-garlic powder
 mixture. Place in the deep fryer until crispy golden
 brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the fried chicken drain in
 the deep fryer basket for 2 to 3 minutes.

 Submerge the fried chicken in the sweet and savory sauce
 for 2 minutes. Pull the chicken out of the sauce and cut
 in half.

 Served the fried chicken with steamed white rice and
 tuna macaroni salad on a bed of fresh avocado. Garnish
 with green onions, homemade garlic aioli and a confetti
 of furikake. Serve with our famous Hawaiian tangy chile
 peppa watah in a ramekin.

 HOMEMADE GARLIC AIOLI: Combine the eggs, egg yolks,
 chile sauce, garlic and lemon juice in a large mixing
 bowl or bain marie. Mix with an immersion blender. Add
 the soybean oil gradually and blend for 2 minutes.
 Season with garlic salt and pepper to your taste.

 HAWAIIAN TANGY CHILI PEPPA WATAH: Combine the vinegar,
 chile sauce, sriracha, garlic, salt and chile peppers in
 a large bowl. Use an immersion blender to incorporate
 the ingredients for 3 minutes. Chill for better results.
