Sunday Feast № 26 | Goat Cheese Cucumber Radish Avocado Sandwich and Pimm's Cup, anyone for tennis?

So for the longest time, at least it seemed like a long time, I have been preoccupied with cucumber sandwiches, that dainty staple of Victorian upper classes in Queenly Kingdom. I would mention them often enough, and mentioning does not necessary mean doing, to anyone that would listen, that I felt like the Kid from "Bad Santa" and probably deserved Willie's response, but everyone was polite and just nodded and hmm-d. Kid: Want me to fix you some sandwiches? Willie: What the fuck is it with you and fixin' fuckin' sandwiches?    By the time I got to it, Pimm's № 1 came into the picture, which may not be typical pairing for cucumber sandwiches, but what a great London offering! And it was all in the Queenly family! As far as coincidences go, Pinterest offered a tasty looking alternative to the Victorian fare - OK, maybe not so coincidental considering I did search cucumber sandwich recipes and the algorithm is watching.   So it was set: The Green Thumb Sandwich courtesy of Broma Bakery - adapted to what I had - and a Pimm's № 1 cocktail. Next choice was to rather than go with Victorian afternoon tea to find some tennis. Made sense with Pimm's № 1 in the picture. Instead of waiting for next tennis Open, I went with a movie about upwardly mobile former professional tennis player and his twisted pathway. Anyone for tennis?

Fun on the side Pimm's Cup 2 parts Pimm's № 1 4 parts lemon-lime soda 1-2 mint sprigs A few slices of cucumber Add ice to a chilled highball glass, then pour Pimm's, lemon-lime soda, and stir. Garnish with slices of cucumber and mint. Movie Match Point (2005)

For the dressing 3 tbsp Greek yoghurt 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp rice vinegar ~6 leaves basil chopped small galic clove minced salt and pepper to taste For the sandwiches 4 large slices of your favorite hardy bread 4 oz/28 g herbed goat cheese 1-2 Persian cucumbers ~6 leaves basil chopped 2 radishes 1 medium avocado butter or Bibb lettuce leaves

In a small bowl whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Set aside. Slice cucumbers, radishes, and avocado into strips. Divide sandwich ingredients to make two sandwiches. Spread herbed goat cheese on one slice of bread for each sandwich. Layer on top of the cheese cucumber, radishes, and then drizzle with the yogurt dressing, then layer the avocado and lettuce. Top with second bread slice.
