The Delightful Seaweed Sandwich: A Dive into Culinary Delicacies

Id gladly pay you Tuesday for a seaweed sandwich today! Where do you think you get them? You get them down at the wharf from Popeye. Would you like some spinach with that?

Seaweed sandwiches, much like most sandwiches, are best enjoyed fresh. I’m particularly partial to a DLT — Dulse Lettuce Tomato. Yes, it sounds adventurous and even a bit quirky, but trust me, the flavors meld beautifully together. Combine the crunch of the lettuce with the slightly salty and slightly umami taste of dulse (a type of edible seaweed), and you have a sandwich that’s not only unique but incredibly delicious.

Additionally, there’s a delightful culinary gem around the corner. An onigiri shop nearby makes a wonderful nori wrapped onigiri stuffed with unagi (grilled eel). Nori, the edible seaweed commonly used to wrap sushi, is not only a focal point of traditional Japanese cuisine but also an interesting ingredient in unexpected places—like a sandwich. This combination of eel and seaweed in a rice ball form creates a flavor profile that’s hard to resist.

Have you ever heard of a nori sandwich? These might sound peculiar at first, but a quick search reveals that such creations can be quite intriguing. For instance, Seaweed (nori) seems to pair surprisingly well with ham and cheese. Something about the umami and saltiness of nori complementing the richness and gooiness of the ham and cheese might be why this combination works. While I haven’t personally tried it, the potential for a unique and tasty sandwich makes it worth exploring!

So, if you're looking for a sandwich that’s a little different, why not give the seaweed or nori sandwich a try? Whether you’re at the wharf, a sushi shop, or even a local deli, you might just find something delightful. Embrace the unexpected and savor the flavors of the sea!
