ONE MORE FOR THE ARCHIVE
Roast beef
from Norma’s Deli
with horseradish seeded mayo, pickles, radicchio & dijon mustard on focaccia
I gotta admit, I’m not usually one for beaches, but a trip to Norma’s Deli in Manly over the Easter Holiday was surprisingly worth it. he place was alive with a unique vibe, super busy yet somehow cozy, with catchy tunes that had me bobbing my head as I dove into my sandwich. Stepping inside, the first thing you notice is the sight of all that freshly baked bread and those jam-packed sandwiches, proudly displayed in a glass cabinet. My heart was set on the turkey sandwich, but as luck would have it, they had just run out. So, I settled for the roast beef instead.
The focaccia alone was a revelation, incredibly soft, doughy, and packed with flavour, probably the best I’ve ever tasted. Nestled within this bread was the roast beef, tender and bursting with a richness that only added to the sandwich’s appeal. The radicchio added the perfect crunch, while the mayo rounded it all out with a subtle sweetness. It was the ideal way to finish off the Easter weekend, leaving me totally thrilled with the experience. Definitely keen to head back there, and next time, I’m securing that turkey sandwich.
