Backpacker's Delight

Backpacking through Eastern Europe, Jara and Roy aimed to spend as little as possible by packing this light sandwich in their bag for many quick lunches and dinners. The ingredients are quite simple:

- 2 slices of whole wheat bread
- tomato slices
- cheddar cheese (Are those Kraft singles? J&R, how did you manage to find those?)
- crushed potato chips (Personally I would opt for salt & vinegar, but I can't be sure what kind this adventurous couple used!)


When Anoli and I traveled through the Baltics, we certainly were not saavy enough to grab leftovers from our all-you-can-eat breakfast buffets. Our lunches often consisted of a fresh baguette with whichever kind of berry jam we could find. And a bottle of wine. Sandwich, you ask? Of course. If you get the opportunity to travel out there, our favorite food was cold beetroot soup. I know what you're thinking, but don't judge a soup by it's name...it was honestly fantastic.

  1. Serena, this is awesome! Yup, this was our typical lunch during 6 weeks of backpacking. We would switch up the chip flavors to keep it interesting. Can't say we always managed to get whole wheat bread but for some reason, all of Eastern Europe had processed cheese slices. We ate these sandwiches everywhere - train, beach, etc - and would make them with a dinky little pocket knife. - Jara & Roy
