Last week the Southern husband asked me if I realized we were having sandwiches for dinner at least once a week lately…and he asked in the hope that this was something that we would be continuing for a good long while. I think probably because Sandwich Night (name that movie!) is a little more casual, a little lighter. And nowhere near as many dishes to wash, and as the guy who does the dishes after dinner this is no small thing.
And so here is my latest entry in a long row of sandwiches that I have apparently been making a lot of. The only “cooking” involved in this one is the assembly of the horseradish coleslaw, which is ridiculously easy to make, and by the way makes a pretty fabulous coleslaw for regular coleslaw use, not just in great roast beef sandwiches. A little mayo, a little horseradish and a little pepper mixed up with some chopped cabbage and carrots and you are in business. I picked up some light rye bread and some nice thin-sliced roast beef at the deli counter, and then all that you have to do is layer on some of your scrumptious horseradish coleslaw. Instant happy suppertime.
Let’s hear it for Sandwich Night – and Roast Beef and Horseradish Coleslaw Sandwiches!

So I’m looking for slaw recipes when I find your website…sounds like a good one and I’ll give it a try. But I noticed that no one answered your challenge to name the movie regarding sandwich night…well, I’m a sucker for movie trivia so please allow me to give it a shot. I’m pretty sure the movie was “About Last Night” way back in 1986 with Demi Moore and Rob Lowe.

Sandwiches once a week sounds fun. I love the horseradish and beef combo, and add the coleslaw. Jackpot! That sounds delicious!

I really should start instituting sandwich night more often. It would make my life so much easier and so much tastier! I love beef and horseradish…that is just classic.

Beef and horseradish is pretty much the best combo ever. Had salted beef with horseradish on rye bread – it was pretty much the best sandwich I've ever had. This looks incredible.
