The Gobbler

The Black Seal in Essex used to have the most delicious sandwich and about a year ago they decided to take it off their menu! sobs...

Fortunately for me they still have the description on their website.  I will have to recreate at home!

GOBBLER (via)
An open faced sandwich consisting of sliced roasted turkey over wheat bread with tomato, bacon, Russian dressing & melted swiss cheese.

You can't eat this thing without a knife and fork!  drooool

And of course... russian dressing from scratch:
