In the kitchen and how to use it
Sandwich spread made from pork and beef is a soft, spreadable blend, similar to deviled ham, that is typically mixed with pickle relish and a creamy binder and spread on white bread or crackers. Its smooth, almost pate-like texture makes it easy to layer into a sandwich or pipe onto crackers for a quick snack, and its slightly sweet-tangy edge comes through in the 11.9 g of carbohydrate per 100 g.
Once opened, keep the spread refrigerated and use it within the timeframe on the label, since it is a ready-to-eat product with no further cooking needed. At 235 calories per tablespoon serving and 7.66 g protein per 100 g, 15% of the Daily Value, plus vitamin E at 12%, it works best as a small component of a meal, like a sandwich filling, rather than a base food, and its 1010 mg sodium per 100 g calls for pairing with low-sodium bread and sides.
