You Say Sandwich, We Say Yeah!

  I always find it weird when rye is in this shape and not in the oblong shape. However, I won't hold it against this sandwich as it was substantial, even if there was no middle piece of bread. What kind of club is this? I almost wonder if I had ordered a BLT, but it's highly unlikely I would have ordered one on rye, and that there is a piece of chicken sticking out on the left. I must have been too hungry to notice at the time. As far as convenient sandwich salad bars goes, this place is pretty decent. I would return if I worked around the corner, but there didn't seem to be a lot of options or competition either. As a meal on the road, it felt healthy and hearty, almost making it feel like I wasn't traveling at home. Recommended by people who had been in Halifax for a few weeks already, this was a nice retreat from the seafood tourism I was on.  

Being on a mission, and hungry as hell for no other reason than being on holiday, I ventured out into the small capital town on Prince Edward Island for a decent espresso and breakfast that is not hotel related. Drinking at the hotel bar the night before, the bar keep who grew up on the island recommended I try Casa Mia Cafe , as she said they were doing the basics, but doing them really well, and with a twist. In fact, unprompted, she said that their breakfast bagel was her favorite thing on the menu, and that was reason enough for me to try it out. Above is my dear Americano with three creams, the breakfast bagel on bottom right, and being greedy, a benny on the run sandwich in the upper left. I should have just stuck with the bagel, as the twist was an aioli that had a kick to it, green if I am remembering correctly, perhaps pesto mix, or just a healthy dose of fresh herbs. Whatever it was, it was sorely missing in the benny on the run, which was just a poor man's McMuffin ...
