Lifestyle: The Best Sandwich in Brighton

I promised you sandwich porn last week, and here it is in all it’s glory.

Dalinsky’s make their own salt beef and pastrami, serving it in pretty huge sandwiches along with mustard, pickles, sauerkraut or any combination. I left off the sauerkraut as the stuff scares me. They also offer chicken soup (which smells fantastic) and a grilled sandwich which W devoured. I went for Team Pastrami (I can’t eat it from the supermarket now!), he was Team Salt Beef, and together we stood on the North Laines, freezing and making ‘foodie’ noises. Honestly one of the best sandwiches I’ve had.
Sandwiches are made to order, served on a bed of their salads. In December there was a dill potato salad, a more traditional (though not gloopy) slaw, and a colourful and tangy red cabbage mix. The red cabbage was stunning – I’d pay for the recipe! Everything was crunchy and fresh, the bread was amazing quality…and the couple themselves were completely adorable.
If you’re ever in Brighton, be sure to go and have a chat and a taste. It pays off so much to support local suppliers, and these guys lived round the corner from where their stall was, salting the beef and making the pastrami themselves. A trip may be made to Brighton in the not-too-distant future for another of these beauties!

What’s your favorite sandwich filling? I used to think you couldn’t beat plain old ham, but this changed all that!
