Salt of the Earth is the cutest little delicatessen in Carleton, Poulton. This is also top of the list for lunch whenever I am home from university. I love the decor inside; it is a converted house, so you sit in different rooms named 'The Dining Room' and 'The Common Room'. With only 25 seats inside it is a small and cosy place to have some quality food and catch up with friends. They offer breakfast, brunch, lunch and a weekly Friday Night Tapas evening.

Their menu is so adventurous and combines so many flavours that you would never think of yourself. I love trying new things and The American Club jumped out at me. Packed full of amazing ingredients such as chicken, pastrami, swiss cheese, gherkin and mustard, my mouth waters just thinking about it! It is not the easiest thing to eat, but it is well worth the mess.

Other gourmet sandwiches that I love are the Club Sandwich, and the Salt of The Earth Club - this is so delicious with fresh chicken, chorizo and sweet chilli sauce on a warm baked ciabatta. They also do the best sweet potato fries here and I always order some of their homemade baconnaise as a dip and the combination is heavenly! For those who haven't tried baconnaise you're missing out!
Salt of the Earth also makes my favourite cake of all time, Rainbow Cake! I bought a slice once and was obsessed, and you can imagine my delight when I found out you could buy a full cake for special occasions! I had one for my birthday last year and am looking forward to another one for my 21st this year, I have never found a Rainbow Cake as yummy as this one.
I wish it was my birthday everyday so it was acceptable to have a slice of this all the time! Also, if you can't be bothered to get ready and sit in, you can always order takeout. Sometimes I get breakfast takeout from Salt of the Earth and the one thing I get when I do is 'Porky's Revenge,' this is a sausage, pancetta and bacon sandwich smothered in baconnaise and topped with frazzle crisps! Have you ever heard of a better combination? Salt of the Earth has the most amazing menu for lunch and I hope to try their Friday Night Tapas in the near future.
