Eating at Sketch was magical. The food tested as well with the imagination as it did with the palette. In this post I will describe the sandwiches.
The first sandwich I ate was a mozzarella and pesto croque monsieur, served warm. These are two flavours I am very fond of and that compliment each other. It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside in the best possible way. It was greasy, but this is not a fault. I struggle to find a fault for this sandwich, except maybe that it went cold fast.
The second sandwich was salmon and cream cheese. This classic was reinvented by using some sort of wierd bread which looked like an octopus. I have to say that although I approve of the concept, I did not enjoy eating this sandwich because I didn’t like the bread. This was, I’m sure, a matter of personal taste.
The third and final sandwich was a cucumber sandwich with asparagus on top. This tasted nice, but was generally dull and disappointing in terms of what was expected of Sketch, especially in comparison with the other foods. In other words, it wasn’t really worthy.
The fourth and final sandwich was egg mayonnaise, which in itself did not set off any fireworks. However, it was topped with a quails egg and some caviar. The quails egg was cold, but the yolk was runny. I thought this was remarkable. The caviar melted in my mouth in a soft burst of silkiness. These two things gave this sandwich an essential edge.
Overall I really enjoyed the finger sandwiches at sketch. They were really cool.
