Today, I had a yen for a BLT. I had tomatoes and mayo but only frozen
Arab bread and sliced ham. The ham was fried quickly and the Arab bread
toasted; the result was fine!

I don't have any idea what "Arab" bread is. I do understand the concept of
a BLT but when made with ham shouldn't it be an HLT?

I had a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup for lunch.

It never ceases to amaze me at how much prosciutto tastes like bacon
after it has crisped up a little.

Since it's frozen, I'm gonna guess it's pita bread.

Arab (or Afghan) bread is a very thin leavened bread readily available
around DC.

Pita bread? I believe that. Many of the sandwiches I have made
with pita bread have been superior, IMO. The ratio of bread to
filling is terrific.

Did you crisp the ham a bit? (Now I am thinking of an intensely
flavored chip [in US speak] for emergency bacon.)

Hmmm. Yours is farther afield than the one James posted was.

Yes, I did fry the ham until it crisped some. Arab bread, as I think I
said, is not pita. It is just leavened dough about half an inch thick
and, from what I have seen on TV, is the normal form of bread in Arab
countries. There, it seems be sold in pizza sized rounds but here it
comes in slabs about 2 feet by 9 inches. Relatively, it has a lot more
crust than regular loaves and makes great toast and French Toast too. It
also freezes well and can be toasted and defrosted in a regular toaster.
Usually, I cut it into smaller pieces for freezing.

I go for BLTO, onion.

Today I had a baloney sandwich for lunch, with lettuce. No breakfast.

Beats me. I had a wish sandwich. 2 pieces of white bread and I wished
I had something between them.

Air on white. Excellent choice.

I bought a loaf of rustic wheat from the bread works, Pittsburgh. I was
going to get Jewish rye, but I eyed up that hard crust chewy bread. They
probably have the best bread here. So far, butter, and peanut butter and
jelly.
