Chlebicky & Open-faced sandwiches



Chlebicky are small sandwiches made from a piece of sliced bread, topped with curled pieces of cold sliced meat, and cheese, usually with a small pickle and/or piece of Pepper and parsley across the top.

Perhaps the closest thing here in America might be, what is called the 'Open-faced' sandwich,(Yes, that is a correct name) which ONLY means that it is a sandwich without the top slice of bread on it.

But, there is where the difference ends. Chlebicky are marvelous, light and a fast solution to lunch. Instead of spreading Mayo on the bread, a chlebicky usually has a thin layer of Potato salad spread on the bread, then the rolled/curled meat and cheese are added on top of that. The small pickle usually laying across the top, adds additional flavor and moisture to this unique "sandwich".

Yes, I like the normal American sandwich, but Chlebicky is a taste delight I will never forget and will long for at lunch time for years to come.
