…I bastardized the recipe. Cribbed from a Michael Smith cookbook, but rather than baguette, we used my wife’s homemade stecca (fresh baked just prior to the cook), which is a type of Italian bread, known for its elongated, baguette-like shape and thin, crispy crust. It is often described as a cross between focaccia and a baguette, according to Google. On the bun was a sriracha green onion mayo, quick pickled carrot, cucumber, radish cilantro and sautéed shrimp with red onion, garlic and red chilli flakes finished with a little fish sauce and honey.

Yours is a kind soul, @Botch.

Killer looking sandwiches. Going to googlez stecca, I remember the days when crusty banh mi rolls were 4/$1.

Question: How did you put back the unhinged stecca after the photo op?

Thanks. My wife has been making this bread for years. Super easy, and an absolute hit whenever she makes it. She’s become known for it with friends, family and neighbours. Works out every time.

As for the logistics of consuming my nearly-deconstructed sandwich, I simply rotated it 45 degrees to contain the goodness and tucked in.
