About the sandwich:
Lets face it,  no body wants vegetables on an Alpine sandwich,  they get soggy…Mountaineers want meat and cheese,  veggies aren’t food…they’re what food eats.

Pretty basic sandwich for a short day hike. Wholegrain with mayo, lots of yellow lettuce and some smoked chicken slices. Tasted great and made the run back down more fun. Why does food taste so amazing when you are on a peak?

The “Jean Duczek Memorial Vintage 1979 HIking Sandwich”

thin slices of ham and turkey, Dijon mustard, Bick’s baby dill pickle sliced very thin, day-glo orange slices of bargain cheddar, and the secret ingredient, a spoonful or two of carrot and cabbage creamy coleslaw (for moisture AND crunch!).

From: Robin Duczek
Location: Looking down from Lake Oesa near Lake O’Hara in Yoho National Park, BC
About the sandwich:
My mother had a long standing ambition to hike the beautiful but exclusive Lake O’Hara region in Yoho, but never realized her goal before she died at the age of 52. I hiked for many years with my mom as a kid and teenager, and eventually moved out to Toronto, but had the opportunity to return to BC recently and successfully jumped through all the hoops to get a day-use quota seat on the access bus for Lake O’Hara. I brought with me two identical Vintage 1979 Hiking Sandwiches, exactly as prepared by my mom: cheap-ass Carl Buddig paper thin slices of ham and turkey, Dijon mustard, Bick’s baby dill pickle sliced very thin, day-glo orange slices of bargain cheddar, and the secret ingredient, a spoonful or two of carrot and cabbage creamy coleslaw (for moisture AND crunch!). All ingredients were purchased at a Co-op supermarket in Calgary, the sandwiches were prepared in my hotel room near Field, BC the night before the hike. The only substitution was multigrain kaiser rolls for white ones, but if multigrain kaiser rolls had been available in Calgary in 1979, I am completely confident my mom would have used them. Simple and delicious.

Sliced smoked turkey breast, crispy bacon, fresh green leaf lettuce, sliced tomato. Chipotle and Mayo. Served on an Asiago Cheese and Sundried Tomato Bagel

From: Leigh McClurg

Location: High on Mount Robie Reid, BC, Canada

About the sandwich:
Called the Timmy’s Groaner as this is the sound the Cashier usually makes at whichever Tim’s I happen to visit when I ask for a “Turkey Bacon Club” and then say “… but, I need to make changes to it”.

Ingredients: Sliced smoked turkey breast, crispy bacon, fresh green leaf lettuce, sliced tomato. Chipotle and Mayo instead of Honey Mustard. Served on an Asiago Cheese and Sundried Tomato Bagel instead of a Soft Bun.

Delish! Always hits the spot.
