This reminds me of the Mumbai roadside sandwichwallas. How I used to long for a bite! But we weren't allowed to eat on the streets. And now your sandwiches are also "look and drool but don't touch or taste."
Thanks for the feedback, @mathira. Do try and let me know how your kids liked it. Also, I welcome you to add your versions and ideas. It will be fun to learn something new.
Mumbai and it's streetfood! (drool!) Tastewise, I think the roadside foodstuffs are far tastier than the restaurant ones. We see the roadside situations and think of the missing hygiene but even in some of the restaurants, kitchens are highly unhygienic! In general, the concept of hygiene is still unpopular and alien in India!
