Sandwiches/Wraps/Tacos
Chicken and Prosciuttto Bikini
Available in almost any bar or cafe in Barcelona, a bikini is the Spanish version of a toasted sandwich. Once you get beyond the embarrassment of asking for one, you'll find they are the best snack to keep you going.
Fresh as Fresh Spring Rolls
There are lots of fried spring rolls in Vietnam, which I love, but after a few days I start to crave the unfried soft ones. You can adjust and add other ingredients, such as shredded chicken, prawns or barbecued pork, but this simple vegetarian version is a good place to start. Your first effort may look a bit raggedy but you will get better with practise.
Galettes with Chicken, Mushroom and Camembert
In France, a galette is a main-course crepe made with buckwheat flour, which gives it a delicious nutty flavour. They are perfect with savoury fillings and are often served for lunch.
Garlic Bruschetta
These slices of crusty bread are rubbed with olive oil and lightly toasted, then rubbed with garlic and seasoned with sea salt. Grilling the bread on a barbecue or grill plate will add a delicious smoky flavour that's hard to beat. Toppings are optional - my favourite is thick slices of juicy, sun-ripened tomato and some fresh basil, but you might like to try semi-dried tomatoes with shaved Parmesan or moist buffalo mozzarella with fresh herbs.
Hamburger
Hamburger is a sandwich consisting of one or more cooked patties of ground meat (usually beef) usually placed inside a sliced hamburger bun. Hamburgers are often served with lettuce, bacon, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese and condiments such as mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup and relish.
