I was going to call this “Ode to the Tomato Sandwich,” but it turns out that title has been taken. Many, many times. Lord knows I would not be the first to laud this simple summer snack, and rightfully so. What could be more deserving of a delighted paean to deliciousness?
Does anyone want to share custody of a loaf of Capt. John Derst Bread? I'm afraid I will make too many sandwiches if I have the full loaf to work with.
3 things: I need a serrated knife bc I’m sure my knives are rarely sharp enough to ensure I don’t lose too much juice during prep. Absolutely always hellmans for me but I will eat any mayo on tomato u hand me, delighted to. Last, plz give me a proper plate bc again I refuse to lose any juices. The paper plate will soak up the drips from my palm, & I need to slurp the last drops of salted tomato mayo once I’m done or at least mop them up w that last corner of bread❤️
When I lived in Atlanta, my neighbor, who was from Savannah, would come back with full grocery bags of Derst's "Good Old Fashioned Bread" and I didn't understand. Until I moved down here and discovered the magic.
And now I have to get over to Dempsey's Farm on St. Helena to pick some tomatoes. Dammit.
Committing tomatocide right with you.. several times a week during the season... ;-D
Thanks for the fun and delicious read!
Big Hugs!

Haha it’s not like it’s gonna mold 🤷🏻♀️
See if it lasts as long as a Rubi's almost 16 year old Patty :-)
