Final Notes:
Needed a lot of chutney or else the brie was the most prominent flavor
Roasting your own sandwich meat was SO much better than deli meat. It being juicy dark meat probably helped too...
Make homemade sandwich meat again!
Loved the brussels sprouts recipe, but will try pan frying shaved sprouts next time so that it's easier to eat with the seeds, more like a salad.
Edit June 21, 2023: Pretty sure I did the shaved sprouts the next day, and it was a lot easier to eat
