Gatsby sandwich

A gatsby is a large Cape Town sandwich filled with chips, meat or other fillings, and sauce. Cape Town Tourism describes a long roll with choices such as steak, chicken, fish, calamari or sausage, together with seasoned chips and salad. Egg and cheese can turn a sandwich into a “full house” version.[1]

The tourism board’s examples show how fillings vary between shops. Super Fisheries offers polony, fish and calamari versions, while the Golden Dish’s masala steak filling includes braised onion, egg and cheese.[1]
