Finally Thoughts
We ran into this recipe around 5 to 6 ago when we were living in Manchester, England for a good 7 months. I remember it very fondly of the situations and where I was eating. It was 8pm and our tain to go to London was delay by 20 minutes. My ex at the time was about to reach London soon and I know she would get mad if I did not have a small gift to give her. So my mate said let's grab something to eat and maybe get a take away.
We came out of Manchester Piccadilly Train Station turn right and 2 stores away there is this grill sandwich place that was open. They had so many variety and sandwich menu options. We saw bacon, strawberry jam, cheese, on bread and could not resist. I ordered 2 of it, got on the train had the first bite. And guess what, I finish both sandwiches. But it was the best feeling. The melting cheese, the sweet yet savor taste of both jam and bacon combing. Very unhealthy to be honest, so in our recipe we add lettuce, tomatoes to it. Any at Manchester Piccadilly, I fully recommend to try it out at Northern Soul Grill Cheese Sandwich.
I really wish I still had the photo of it but I lost the photo, but the memories, taste, and food is still with us.
Yes, my ex was not mad, as her train was delayed too to reach London.
