Ok so
remember that one thing I was supposed to post about but forgot what it was? It
was the story of the banana sandwich.
Once
upon a time the second time we went to Salima, we got lunch at a lodge by the
beach. As I was gazing through the menu I saw a number of sandwiches and one
caught my eye. It was called the Safari Sandwich. It was a ham and cheese
sandwich with probably some other stuff I remember and a banana. I remember
making myself a peanut butter and banana sandwich once when I was little and
didn’t really enjoy it. I really don’ remember what was wrong with it then which
probably contributed to my willingness to try out a banana sandwich again.
Needless to say I ordered it.
The
food took a while to come out which isn’t uncommon in Malawi. We had a nice
time talking and looking at the monkeys that were roaming around trying to see
if somebody else left out any food. When our food finally came I bit into my
sandwich and noticed something was a little strange about it. Oh yeah, it’s a banana
sandwich! It wasn’t bad, but I don’t know that I would call it good either. Right
now the best way I have to describe it was interesting. I think it helped that
it was toasted and the banana was creamy inside. I also didn’t get a huge dose
of banana which is good when you order a ham sandwich. I finished it and even
tried it with some peri peri sauce. I don’t really know what else to say about
banana sandwiches. They is what they is.
Best story ever.
