Fusion Food

There’s a lot of food truck ideas out there but for starters, you might want to sell sandwiches as your main menu along with other best-selling food items. In this category alone, there’s likewise a plethora of scrumptious combinations that can definitely become blockbusters in your local area. To create your own version of a variety of sandwiches is a big challenge but for sure, people will definitely love your distinctive style. Sandwiches are an all-time favorite as these are the easiest to grab to quickly satisfy one’s hunger.

As the food truck industry has gained a wide acceptance across the nation, so has fusion cuisine. This has become extremely popular among food lovers because various elements of the different culinary traditions around the world are blended during the cooking process.

This doesn’t only entail the addition of unique herbs, spices and all other special ingredients to give the final products their distinct flavor. It also involves the unique cooking method itself with the use of particular utensils and equipment from different regions and countries. And so, if there’s fusion cuisine, why not specialize in fusion sandwiches?

Mouth-watering Sandwich Ideas as Your Main Selling Point

Here, we present to you four tasty and easy sandwich ideas with a maximum of twenty minutes preparation time, presuming that the main ingredient has been cooked beforehand and properly stored. Or if cooking is required, it will only take no more than ten minutes as long as the key ingredients, mostly meats, have been softened, marinated or sliced thinly or into small pieces so as to minimize the total preparation time. And remember, it’s up to your creativity to put a twist in all your dishes.

Beef Gyro

Beef Gyro is a dish that consists of meat (typically lamb or beef but pork and chicken are also acceptable substitutes) with the addition of tomato, onion and tzatziki sauce as well as French fries (optional) and then rolled up inside pita bread. There are many variations but you can do your own signature sandwich. You would need the following:

• Plain yogurt
• Cucumbers, peeled, seeded and diced
• Olive oil
• Chopped fresh dill
• Garlic
• Seasonings
• Beef strips (top sirloin steak) 
• Pita bread rounds
• Tomato
• Onion

Sandwich Defined

If you notice, those mentioned above can be considered full meals as they’re filled with proteins, carbohydrates and fats. But are they really sandwiches in the real sense? Well, Merriam-Webster defines a sandwich as “two or more bread slices or split-roll with filling in between.”

So, categorically, hamburgers and hotdogs qualify as sandwiches although both use buns instead of the customary flat bread. Further, pizza can be called an open sandwich since it uses a type of bread dough. Sandwiches are versatile dishes in that the bread can be grilled, toasted or fried. And the meats can be flame-broiled, smoked, pan-fried or grilled. That being said, you may include these well-loved items in your menu as the ‘dishes on the side’.

But, what can really make your business stand above the rest are your food offers and of course, your attractive food truck.
