Coppin a Plea!

Spiced Beef & Mashed Potato Sandwich With Lime Raita
I will admit to stealing this sandwich recipe, but I felt justified since the person who posted it is a man who hates sandwiches. He will gladly tell you why if just click here and visit "Eddybles.com". I don't often pull sandwich capers such as this, but the very idea that this fantastic making came from someone who professes to dislike sandwiches to the point of passing on a meal if it's served between two slices of bread seemed so incongruous. A mystery I was determined to solve, but couldn't. I would understand if he'd have posted an ordinary or nasty looking sandwich, but look at what he considers to be a bad meal, it's uncanny! It's a little bit of an ordeal to actually make, but I can assure you, it's well worth the trouble.
