I'd never heard of a Shooter's Sandwich until I read about it here - two steaks, a pile of mushrooms and shallots, a good dollop of mustard and horseradish, all stuffed inside a loaf and squashed under weights overnight - but I loved the idea of a) a stuffed loaf, with all its delicious/disgusting Elvisish connotations, and b) a sandwich that has to be prepared 24 hours in advance. If it requires that much effort it really must be the Best Sandwich Ever.
And it was ... ok. It looks beautiful and cutting into it is an extremely satisfying experien
ce. And it is delicious - just a bit on the soggy side. Is it meant to be that way? I don't imagine it's possible to cook mushrooms until all the moisture is gone, and the juices from the steak are always going to seap into the bread, but a cold, soggy crust just isn't that nice. The title of Best Sandwich Ever is still up for grabs.
