Never done the lemon thing, however, beetroot slices in hamburgers is a big thing down here. Macca's (McDonalds) does them on their menu here. I have seen youtube vids where Americans get freaked out about it. Seems quite normal to me.

To you maybe, but I had never seen or heard of such a thing, and I'm no spring chicken.

Interesting. I would also freak if someone put beet on my beef. I like the fact that people in different parts of the world like different things. It would be pretty boring if everyone had the same tastes.

Spring Chicken with Preserved Lemon
Ottolenghi Simple
Serves four
5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 Tbsp. thyme leaves
3 garlic cloves, crushed
½ small preserved lemon, seeds discarded, flesh and skin roughly chopped (2½ Tbsp.)
1 lemon: finely zest to get 1 tsp., then juice to get 1½ Tbsp.
salt and black pepper
1 whole chicken (3 1/3 lbs.)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the butter, thyme, garlic, preserved lemon, lemon zest, ¼ tsp. salt, and a generous grind of pepper in a food processor. Blitz to combine.
With the chicken’s legs pointing toward you, use your hands to loosen the skin away from the breasts and spread most of the butter mixture evenly under the skin and over the breasts. Spread the remaining butter over the legs.
Place the chicken in a medium high-sided baking pan, drizzle with the lemon juice, and sprinkle with ½ tsp. salt and plenty of pepper. Roast for roughly 70 minutes, basting every 20 minutes or so, until the skin is golden brown and crisp and the juices run clear when the meat is pierced with a small knife.
Remove from the oven and set aside to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Thanks for the recipe friend, I'll give it a go.

But I was referring to the OP's question: "Lemons on sandwiches?"

I've tried many dishes and desserts that incorporate lemons/limes, just not on a sandwich.

lol...my point ,I suppose , is that ...you are not on the menu. Since you are no spring chicken

Lemon Squares are pretty damn tasty too.

Lemon juice is critical in any good hummus and it's a must for fresh grilled fish
