The Lap Lunch, church sandwiches
Or how my Irish grandfather called it the crotch lunch.
Egads you say!
These wonderful triangle shaped sandwiches found at every church celebration, or funeral is what I'm talking about today.
Give me a can of tuna, ham, fake crab, chicken, mystery meat, eggs
Mix with mayonnaise, some relish or chopped Cucumber or pickles serve on the bread you like cut into triangles.
Now what's with the name.
Well as my grandfather explained in one had you have your mug of tea or cup of coffee, in one hand is a triangle sandwich but where do you put the rest. Your sitting on chairs or standing no tables. So once seated, you lap (crotch) becomes your serving area.
I woke up this morning opened my fridge and a plate of these were dropped off by a good Fri who knew I was at work but who knew I'd appreciate them at work.
Most certainly
Now I'll remember my grandfather who definitely had wit
