By the way, a bacon and banana toasted sandwich in South Africa is as normal a feature on a snack menu as toasted cheese and ham in Spain!

Story started with the Chef at the Carlton Hotel in Johannesburg which was THE place to dine in the 50's and 60's became irritated that his clientele who always ordered Steak and were'nt particularly sophisticated, were continually asking for a sauce that was'nt bland,
In a fit of anger one night he threw whatever sauces were leftover as well some wine and sherry and port into a jug, put it in the fridge and served it the next night to his most troublesome Customers table calling it Monkey Gland sauce as he figured they were too stupid to notice..
it was a hit.
The word spead and he then somehow managed to re-create it and
it became the most asked for Sauce to go with Steak.

Cool, similar to the story of the creation of authentic Caesar salad...
After rereading the recipe it sounds like it might be quite tasty...

FACT: Elvis Presly died while sitting on the toilet and eating a bacon, peanut butter and banana sandwich, his favorite.

Since I detest bananas (the smell alone can make me wretch), I doubt I will be trying them anytime soon. Now bacon & peanut butter I have tried and while greasy, they do have something going for them...

Hey LB, now I hope you are not suggesting that the Kings great choice in toilet snacks (now that does sound disgusting!!) had anything to do with his sad demise??? I have never tried it with peanut butter, but maybe I will take a chance and go for it! So long as I don't end up like Elvis...................

I am sure I am not pregnant!!! Strange things happen here in Alhaurin el Grande, but that is going too far!! I can't keep my kids out of Pikniks! They love the cakes! I have been past and stuck my head in, but haven't sampled the wares yet. Have you been up a few times then? I keep checking out for you when I drive past, but haven't seen you.

Hell yes! Bacon&Banana is great!
as is Banana with a good mayonaisse on fresh bread.
but then banana goes with curry too.

Biltong sandwiches too, which is raw meat, salted, washed with vinegar,spiced with coriander and black pepper then wind dried , find a South African, say Biltong or Boerewors (farmers sausage) and watch them drool.

Peanut Butter with syrup or Honey is also a great favourite.
