Po' Bastard's Following Sandwich

What are you putting on your sandwiches these days? Sandwiches are a most versatile cuisine... perhaps even moreso than beef or turkey mince. Po' Bastard has 101 ways with mince, but that's a topic for another day.

Lately, I've been making the following sandwich. And no, it isn't gross. The only sandwich no-no is this: old tires don't taste good slapped between bread.

The Following Sandwich

Ingredients:
-2 slices Tesco Value brown bread, toasted
-one small, cooked beet-- thinly sliced
-one small tomato, thinly sliced
-one fried egg
-Tesco Value sandwich pickle, or whatever brand you like
-knifepoint of mayo
-squiggle of mustard

Method:
Don't be daft. You don't need directions for assembling this, and if you do, your prom date was likely a Special Person who gave you a wrist corsage of radishes.

I will say this: The only rules in making the Following Sandwich are the following: 1) salt the tomato slices generously; 2) the squiggle of mustard goes on top of the mayo-- which is spread thinly, to reach the edges of the bread; and 3) make sure to toast the bread.

Notes:
This sammich tastes best when drinking milk and watching an Australian soap opera.
