Ham & Butter Ficelle

Bit of a random Friday morning—I had to get an X-ray done in Newtown and rocked up a little early. With a few minutes to spare, I figured why not swing by A.P Town (conveniently on the way) for some breakfast.

I spotted the ham & butter ficelle and thought, sure, why not. Normally I’m a baguette kinda guy, but that wasn’t on offer, so ficelle it is.

Turned out to be a pretty good move. The ficelle was a standout—crusty and light with this slightly smoky flavour that really added something. The ham packed heaps of flavour too, but I gotta say… too salty for me. Luckily the butter and Dijon helped mellow it all out and kept things from tipping too far.

Simple, tasty, and full of flavour. Not an everyday thing (unless your salt tolerance is elite), but I enjoyed it.
