Are you brave enough? Our Vermont Farm Sandwich is simple but deceptively powerful. According to one Vermont farmer we know, a daily lunch of this is the best cold preventative there is! 

Start adding horseradish and raw onion to your sandwiches to help prevent winter colds… and brace yourself!

(Editor’s note: For authenticity’s sake, we recommend enjoying this lunchtime sandwich following a breakfast of apple pie and sharp cheddar cheese.)

Ingredients
2 slices whole wheat bread
brown mustard
horseradish
sliced roast beef or other meat
raw yellow onion, sliced
cheddar cheese
Instructions

Spread one piece of bread lavishly with mustard, and the other with a very thick layer of horseradish. Add the meat, several slices of onion, and 2 pieces of cheddar cheese. Put it all together, and serve with apple cider (hot or cold) or hot ginger tea.

A farm sandwich with beef? Oh, no. If it is a Wisconsin farm sandwich, one begins with smoked liver sausage. Everything else is OK ... :>) ...!

I've had these sandwiches for years -- very effective in boosting immunity. I keep the meat and cheese sandwiches separate; raw yellow onion goes wonderfully with both; bread can also be rye, and substitute butter for mayo on the cheese sandwiches. No mustard, I don't care for it. Sometimes, on roast beef, I'll mix horseradish with sour cream. Onions, though, are key. Once, when I had serious problems eating, I could eat only liverwurst on rye with raw onion. I think it saved my life. (Thanks to commenter Khalid about horseradish cheese; going to look for it!)

Maybe because no one could get near enough to give you a cold?

Add some garlic...and you wouldn't need to worry about vampires, either.

Mine consist of Whole Wheat Bread, lots of Onion, Salt and Pepper and Mayo
Must be good because I'll be 82 on the 16th of January and have been eating this for quite some years ( Winter and Summer )
