Sandwiches are a popular lunch or snack food around the world. They are made by placing a filling, which may contain salad, vegetables, cheese, meat, or seafood, or some combination of these, between two or more slices of bread. Sliced bread, baguettes, bread rolls, or even muffins or bagels can be used to make the sandwich, and in many cases, the bread is toasted – indeed some types of sandwiches have hot fillings too.

Some of the most popular types of sandwich include:

* Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches – An all time kids’ favorite, although of course rather too sweet for many adults’ tastes.

* Club sandwich – A triple bread toasted sandwich containing chicken or turkey breast meat between two of the slices of toast, and a bacon, lettuce and tomato filling between the other two layers of toast.

* Tuna melt sandwich – A hot sandwich containing prepared cooked tuna (from a can), cheese, hard-boiled egg, mayonnaise and grated cheese. It can be served on bread or English muffins.

* Bacon sandwiches – Sandwiches containing bacon, often known in the United Kingdom as “bacon butties”. Variations on the basic theme, including the possible addition of fried egg (an “egg and bacon sandwich”), or mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato (a “BLT sandwich”).

* Meat sandwiches – Sandwiches containing ham, baloney, cooked sausages, and so forth. In some such sandwiches, other ingredients are included as well, for example a “cheese and ham sandwich”.

* Cheese sandwiches – Sandwiches containing cheese. Again there are many variations on the basic theme, such as adding onions, salad, or pickle relish (in the United Kingdom, Branston brand pickle is often used).

* Cucumber sandwiches – The classic Victorian English sandwich. Thin slices of cucumber between slices of buttered white bread.

King crab being the king of all crabs is probably the most sought after crab known to man. Due to this, prices have gone up thus making these creatures more of a delicacy than a traditional meal. For this reason they demand respect when cooking and so should be done with care, pride and patience.

For this reason a bit of research is necessary for cooking King Crab due to the fact it is so large, any person should make the best out each individual crab by using all the meat as well as the shells and leftovers for a stock production or a bisque.The king crab didn’t only get its reputation for its size, but also due to having its very own unique texture and taste in comparison to all the other crabs available on the market. This crab can be prepared, presented and eaten in many different ways and be great as a main, or a starter which will satisfy any appreciating stomach.

The most popular way of cooking the King Crab is by boiling, broiling as well as grilling and luckily enough, is very tasty when either hot or chilled.

Traditionally, like most other crabs they are served with melted butter or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, which is recommended for first time
eaters. This recommendation is simply to taste the original and natural flavours of the crab before trying other experimentations. When you reach this level, there are several ways to Spice up your king crab dishes but you have to be careful not to ruin the recipe as after all, the king crab is a delicacy.

A simple but delicious recipe is the well known Alaska King Crab Royale. This simply consists of 2.5 to 3 inched chopped sections of crab legs
which are brushed with a special sauce. This sauce consists of the usual butter, lemon juice, tarragon, parsley and a splash of Tabasco sauce and finally some very finely chopped and diced red onion. The most popular ways of cooking this recipe is again the traditional broiling method whilst reoccurring brushes with the sauce are carried out. Alternatively you can complete this method using a barbeque for grilling it but simultaneously giving it that smoky flavour.

Another recipe for the King Crab, which is very similar, but at the same time very different is the infamous Nuevo Latino style recipe which
consists of grilling the crab meat in a lime butter sauce. Together with this butter, you mix in chilli oil and maybe even some chilli flakes, cayenne pepper (amount depending on how hot you like your food) and another half a lime (juice). Again, brush the crab occasionally using this method until cooked through. Serve this with avocado salad which works well with all crab and maybe a little cocktail or fruit juice, depending on what you fancy.

Though Alaskan King Crab is generally thought of as a rich, decadent food, it is actually low in calories and fat. One 3.5-ounce serving of king crab provides 96 calories, 19 grams of protein, 2 grams of fat, 1064 milligrams of sodium and 53 milligrams of cholesterol.
