Duck club sandwich
The most plausible origin of the club sandwich goes back to 1894, in Saratoga Springs, in the State of New York. Richard Canfield, art collector and prosperous gambler, acquired the Morrissey’s Club House and created a casino to rival those of Monte Carlo. To allow its patrons to have a little sustenance without having to sit down at a table, a turkey-tomato-lettuce-bacon-mayo layered sandwich, cut into triangles, would have been prepared for the first time in his kitchens. Our recipe revisits this classic by substituting duck for turkey or chicken, however, pork is another option to consider. That said, it's the slice of raisin bread integrated in the heart of the sandwich that most cleverly breaks the old rules of the classic.
