Don Cherry's Daily Sandwich Shouldn't Exist

Don Cherry’s entire shtick is being an ostentatious hockey blowhard, and while his daily lunch is a little “out there,” its bizarreness isn’t whimsical in the slightest, although biohazards can be colorful, too. This Steve Simmons reveals Cherry’s regular lunch, which appears to be unintentionally aged:

Every day on the road is seemingly the same. It doesn’t matter what the city is or what is around him. He has breakfast in his room. Oatmeal and all-bran in a glass, put together by his wife, Luba. Before practice or a morning skate, his longtime associate Kathy Broderick brings a muffin. Lunch, in his hotel room, consists of salmon sandwiches made by his wife.

“It’s the greatest thing in the world,” said Cherry, the eccentric. “Salmon, cheese, mayo, after a couple of days the salmon soaks into the bread.”

Is this a Canadian thing? Those ingredients should be treated like the fox, goose, and bag of seed, or maybe just completely separated. Here’s one solution for an improved recipe: Throw out the mayo and never use it because it’s gross.

Cherry’s co-host Ron MacLean described the meal as “more like a pudding than a sandwich. But it is delicious.” Please stop lying, Ron.
