Ain’t nothing better than a muffuletta!

Summer is officially here and that means beach time. It’s also my favorite time of year to pack a sandwich and go on a road trip, or in my case a fishing trip. A couple of weeks ago I had the good fortune to go out on Long Island Sound for an evening of fishing. It was my first time, and I was a little bit nervous especially since I’m not the world’s greatest swimmer. So as I often do I took comfort in food, in this case a muffuletta sandwich that my buddy Dave had made for each of us. The Italian combo by way of the Big Easy with its layers of mortadella, ham, salami and olive salad really hit the spot. Each of us was in a food coma after downing the hearty dinner. Later that night I was fortunate enough to reel in a 22-pound striped bass. I credit the mortadella with giving me the strength to reel it in. So here’s what I’d like to know on this fifth day of summer. What’s your favorite summertime sandwich? Let me know in the comments or via Twitter.
