Mortadella Panino

Went for a hike in the Blue Mountains yesterday and was so wrecked I couldn’t even finish my sandwich review 😂 So here we go.

Started the day off strong with a sandwich from Da Orazio Pasticceria before heading out. Of course I couldn’t help myself—had half right away and somehow managed to save the other half for after the hike. Kinda proud of that because usually I smash the whole thing in one go.

The mortadella was proper good—you can tell when it’s the quality stuff. The cheese was firm and mild, adding a nice bite. I’m pretty sure there was artichoke mixed into the mayo too—creamy and rich. I don’t want to sound uncultured, but sometimes I honestly don’t know what’s in my sandwich 😂 I just know when it tastes good—and this one definitely did.

The ciabatta was fresh with a bit of chew. They asked if I wanted it toasted, which could’ve been nice, but it was early and I felt like having it fresh.

Oh—and for the record, the other half post-hike was even better. Love a good sandwich when you’ve earned it.
