There was a classic Saigon-style banh mi from Ba Xuyen in Sunset Park. A colossal roast beef, fried eggplant and mozzarella hero from Defonte's in Red Hook, with hot peppers, gravy and mayonnaise. A ton-katsu sando on pillowy milk bread from Taku Sando in Greenpoint. These were all incredible.
I could eat store-bought sandwiches in Kings County for a living, and I did for a time.
Today is Easter, and not really a day for sandwiches unless they're ham ones on little potato rolls, with strong mustard, to eat in a side yard in the chill while children run around looking for hidden eggs.
I want to make deviled eggs to celebrate the holiday puckishly, or maybe a big egg salad to serve in lettuce cups. I definitely want to peel a few for pickled eggs, cured with beets, vinegar and sugar: beautiful pink orbs with a briny, slightly sweet flavor to eat as the week progresses.
