Pakistan’s Hunter Beef Sandwiches
Hunter Beef may be a Pakistani version of the salt beef brought over by the Brits. The question is, what kind of sandwich to make with it? Recipes abound, and no two appear to be alike.

Different areas of Quebec have different recipes for the sandwich, and the only real commonalities are that it will be served in a hot dog bun and contain some kind of salad. A guédille, thus, may be as simple as coleslaw and fries in a hot dog bun.
The “Ground Steak Sandwich,” almost entirely unknown outside Mt Airy, is a loosemeat sandwich similar to a Maid Rite, served in a hamburger bun and dressed with tomato, coleslaw, and mayonnaise.
Provolone in the Americas is a mild cheese, well suited for sandwiches, and here it allows the aromatic qualities of the mortadella to lead–nutmeg, coriander, black pepper, warming spices.
Wherein we eat all the sandwiches on the Wikipedia List of Sandwiches and try to think of something clever to write about them. We’ll go through three sandwiches every month or so, in alphabetical order....
Best of all was their take on the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. In addition to the tomato and lettuce, this sandwich comes with mustard and a pungent, mildly spicy pepper relish. It is frankly astonishing how well this combination worked in the donut bun.
It’s funny, I think of KFC’s Double Down as such an aberrant thing, such a weird one-off American and specifically Midwestern goof of a food dare, but it is hardly unique in its strategy of taking a dish of meat and bread, and replacing the bread with more meat.
The dabeli at Swagat come packed individually in a simple plastic clamshell. When I first started buying them there, they came wrapped in aluminum foil. Regardless of the wrapper, what’s inside is a simple bread roll, possibly a hamburger bun, spread with chutney and stuffed with a sweet and aromatic and spicy mix of potatoes.
In any case, with regard to the Italian-style cutlet sandwich as it exists in America, these seem to be more prevalent on the East Coast–New York, New Jersey, et al. Many an Italian deli or sandwich shop menu in those areas boasts multiple sandwich options featuring chicken cutlets or even veal cutlets. By far the most common type of Italian-style sandwich featuring any kind of cutlet in the Chicago area is the Chicken Parmesan sandwich. Chicken Parm for short.
Korokke Pan, or korokke sando consist of traditional Japanese korokke–potato, or meat and potato, or potato and vegetable–in a long thin bread roll much like a hot dog bun, with shredded cabbage, some combination of sauces likely to contain Japanese Worcestershire and/or Tonkatsu sauce, and is garnished with a sprig of parsley. They are sold in prepackaged form at Japanese conbini, convenience stores like 7-11, which I am told have a much tastier food selection than the 7-11s around here.
