Down On The Farm Fried Ham Sandwich Longmeadow Recipes

I was in the nursing profession many, many, years ago. When the nursing staff was allowed to take a lunch break, I would meander down to our hospital cafeteria and order up one of these sandwiches. Of course, the cafeteria chefs had a special "seasoned grill" that punctuated years and years of cooking delectable delights, the way it used to be cooked, without the use of microwaves, and or already prepared, "boiled - in - the - bag" foods that came from "Sysco". These amazing chefs even had special spatulas that you could easily imagine the pounding and flipping going on, being delicately tossed in the air, as somehow this made the food taste even more spectacular. After paying for the sandwich, I would sit down, and carefully open the wrapper, and inhale the aroma of freshly cut ham, the sweetest, most soft bread that I have ever known, and the mixture of ham juice and a bit of butter that warmed the ham prior to marrying with the bread. Needless to say, I always looked forward to this break, and on the occasion of visiting this hospital even today, I reflect back on those days of good ol' cooking as it used to be, and the delights these very special chefs produced. To this day I still make these at home, occasionally for lunch or a quick dinner. After the cafeteria chefs put this yummy sandwich together they would wrap it in (1) wax paper (2) then aluminum foil. By the time you got to your table, the tastes had developed and probably steamed in the combination of wax paper and foil. Either way, I guess these magical chefs will never be forgotten as this made my day complete, every single day. I hope you enjoy this sandwich as much as I. Try the wax paper and foil too, [if you have time].....you will see what I'm talking about.

The Longmeadow Farm was buzzing with activity today! Corn cribs were being filled to their full capacity, and tons of dust with particles were flying high over the top of the yellow barn. The alfalfa and timothy grass fields were being rolled in the distant fields by Bubba. Everyone was in a buzz to make sure everything was working and progressing along. Such is the case this particular Saturday, and to be honest here; not everything was progressing as normal. Chains broke, wheels flew off tractors as if taking flight, and the farm truck hose broke, hissing and spitting like a wild snake run amok. Ahhhhh, a typical Saturday on the farm. These are the kinda of days that makes my Dad steam like a "train whistle". In fact; my Dad, really doesn't always adhere to the old saying, "patience is virtue". Along about 12:30 or so in the early afternoon; after the old mower didn't start despite Jerry trying to stuff a rag on the miserly 2nd hand spark plug.......and so much ether was being sprayed around the workshop to start the mower, I am sure we could of put all of the neighboring folks asleep right where they stood. My dad calmly took off his hat, scratched his head, threw his hammer down in the dirt so hard it almost bounced back and hit him in the leg, while he implored and stated at the same time, "I've had enough"! Although my father tends towards obtaining a bit of an angry flair from time to time from all the mishaps on that happened during any particular Saturday; he does however, perk up when he knows we are having hamburgers for our "Saturday Lunch at the Farm". These are so easy to throw together, and with the addition of Worcestershire sauce, a great taste and fun too. Heck I even have vegan Worcestershire sauce and vegan crumbles to make this great, simple burger, for my sons, Bryan and Mike. I sure hope your day goes better then ours did........ if not--go make your own burger...... and you can even bet the farm on it. I did!

It's as simple as a toasted sandwich but it tastes better! In this recipe you don't need to put in the ham or the chives but you can add extra ingredients (onions etc.)
