These are inspired the by The delightful Rose in Oxford, in fact just looking for a link to the website is making me drool. Many mornings, lunches and afternoons have been happily spent here drinking vanilla tea, eating scones and everything else. It’s all organic, made from scratch and outrageously good.

The club sandwich is legendary, layers of chicken oozing with mayonnaise and avocado, crispy bacon, lettuce and tomato. A heart attack on a plate, maybe. The best way to start the weekend, definitely. This is my version – I like to secure the little triangles with cocktail sticks not just for looks, this helps hold the entire creation together. For next time I’m planning on having this with a handful of crisps to wedge into the sandwich, a guilty pleasure if you will.

    I love a sandwich held together with a cocktail stick. It just seems so…right.

    Mmmm…looks delicious!

    If you like club sandwiches (like me, haha) – I highly suggest trying Schlotzsky’s new Big League Clubz; http://www.bigleagueclubz.com. So tasty! Schlotzsky’s is also running a baseball sweepstakes as part of the release of these sandwiches, the grand prize is a trip to St. Louis in July to see all the stars, I’m a baseball fan so I think it’s pretty cool, haha.

    I love avocado so I’m definitely gonna try this! Thanks for the recipe!
