The King of Sandwiches —サンドイッチの王様—

Since I first heard about the Elvis sandwich, which contains banana, peanut butter, and fried bacon, it has been always on my mind.  It ought to be tasty, since 50 million Elvis sandwich fans can’t be wrong!  Or maybe it is a devil sandwich in disguise?

Okay, no more Elvis puns, I promise.  We need a little less conversation and a little more action.

I didn’t expect to like the sandwich, because I am not a huge fan of banana.  But the sandwich worked surprisingly well.  The soft banana, crunchy peanuts and crispy bacon made for an interesting mix of textures.  And I thought the peanut butter might dominate over all other flavours, but I could still taste the bacon.  I give this sandwich 8 out of 10.


Vocabulary:

a pun – A joke which plays on the fact that one word or phrase sounds like another, or has two meanings (eg. “My cat is just purrr-fect!”)

(a) texture – the feel or consistency of a surface (eg. “This wood has a rough texture.”)
