290. Crab sandwiches


The best crab sandwich that I have ever eaten came from a tiny caravan at Blakeney Quay, north Norfolk. It was just crab, butter and bread, but it was juicy and creamy and intensely, delicously, crabby.

Herself is obsessed with crab, so I have tried to make crab sandwiches and they're good, but they're not great. This is clearly an issue of alchemy - or maybe she has to be outside, in Norfolk, on a sunny day. It's not for me to say.

The second best crab sandwich I have ever eaten was from Cromer, north Norfolk. Crab, bread, butter.

The third best crab sandwich I have ever eaten was from the Nelson pub, Southwold, Suffolk. Crab, bread, butter. Inside, no sun, but accompanied by chips (result) and beer.

Right, I am challenging myself to a challenge. Crab, bread, butter. Take Herself to a sunny place in East Anglia and make her run about a bit so she's hungry, then win the ultimate crab-based accolade. Or give up and have crab sandwiches join the list of other foods that are best made by somebody else.

    Ooh fun. My chance to play counsellor.

    1) maybe crab 'sandwich' is the issue here

    2) the best way to enjoy crab (I know I have done it) is for herself to make her crab tart.

    3) you make sure you are in a place with 'big skies' ie norfolk, suffolk or the old favourite, kentish beachlands

    4) you buy the shampoo and make sure there is a nice view.

    5) job done. relax and enjoy.

    that will be £500, thanks very much
