Salmon pickle toastie
When you’re in need of lunch or even a snack, don’t overlook the humble toasted sandwich or toastie! These can be made in the kitchen or over a campfire if you working distant stations from a mountain top. Perfect for SOTA too where you’ve got more important things to carry and space is limited. You can mix and match your favourite ingredients too, so there’s no excuse for skipping a meal.

Notes
Here’s a tip. If you don’t have a sandwich press and your pan frying, place some foil over the sandwich in the pan and weigh it down with another heavy pan of kitchen object. In essence, making a one-sided sandwich press. If you want to, wrap a house brick in foil. That’ll do the trick!
