Maybe it's the fact that I haven't purchased a deli made sandwich in a couple of months, but I just came across a sandwich that put a rip in the space-time continuum. Deli-cious, this little place across from Divino's on Stephen Ave, has completely altered the way I look at a sandwich. The game-changer is a Harvest Turkey Apple Cheese Sandwich. With it's Brezain Feux De Bois Cheese and Blueberry (that's right) Mayo, it's very description evokes a Pavlov response that turns me into a zombie transfixed on my thirst for Blueberry Mayo. The smokiness of the De Bois mixed with pure fruit at first scared me. I know of nobody in my circle of friends that smoke fruit or fruit smoke. However, upon analysis why couldn't these flavours work together, I love smokies and I love fruit...ies.
Sometimes when the full moon is out and the stars align just right, Deli-cious runs out of apples. Their solution is to turn a negative situation into a positive. They replace apples with strawberries. Now realize that this is equivalent to someone saying sorry you didn't win $2 on this lotto scratch ticket you won $5. It is my opinion that the strawberries are superb with this sandwich combination. I would go even further saying that they should consider replacing the apples with strawberries from here on in. But both are satisfying.
The sandwich comes with chips and pickles, both fine appetizers and finishers. Total cost ...a mere $8.50 + tax. We need more places like this on Stephen Ave. Affordable, down to earth and satisfying.
