Props to the Spicy Pickle for having the guts to roll out its new Harvest Panini, essentially a Thanksgiving — or Pilgrim — sandwich remade and given a less holiday-specific (or politically thorny) name.
I have a long and delicious history with Thanksgiving sandwiches but have bemoaned the difficulty of finding them in Denver — outside of a few places, such as Pat’s and Spinelli’s.
Thanksgiving sandwiches are universally regarded as one of the best gifts to humanity. They consist of the primary staples of Thanksgiving — turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce — between two slice of bread or a roll.
The Spicy Pickle’s version, which is on the menu for a limited time, consists of turkey, cornbread stuffing, cranberry-cream cheese spread and grilled onions on rosemary focaccia bread. While the Harvest Panini could use a little more cranberry cream cheese (and maybe even some real cranberries) and a few less onions, the cornbread stuffing rocks.
All in all, it’s a blessing to be thankful for.
