Sandwich Assesment

For our assessment in hospitality we were required to make a sandwich using ingredients, of our choice, from a specific list. We had to have a partner for this and I was working with Issy but when we made our sandwich, our partner was not allowed to help or assist in the making so we had to make it by our self. I made my sandwich the first day and Issy made her sandwich the next. I thought making a sandwich for our assessment was a great idea as although it seems quite simple, you can actually come up with some quite complicated sandwiches. I had chosen to make a hot sandwich on lightly buttered Turkish bread with chicken, ham, avocado, tomato, kalamata olives, cheddar cheese and chives. My whole sandwich was put in the toaster at the end and for presentation, I cut the sandwich in half diagonally and sprinkled some of the leftover chives on top with two olives on the side and placed it on one of the plates we were given. I made my sandwich in a good amount of time, with some time at the end to spare so I could make it look great on the plate.  I really enjoyed making this sandwich and it tasted absolutely delicious once it was finished. I was very happy with my sandwich and called it Mediterranean Magic. All of the flavours in the sandwich went well together and it was a really good meal overall that I enjoyed, that tasted and looked great.

Ready to take away

The next day, Issy made her sandwich. I would have liked to help but we weren't allowed to. Issy's sandwich ended up looking amazing and she let me try some too, so I found out it tasted great too. Everything in her sandwich went well together. During this lesson, the girls who made their sandwich the day before were working on their blogs. Next lesson, we will probably be doing our evaluation on our sandwich.
