DIRECTIONS: 

  1. Place the FunGuy mushrooms, cucumbers, onions, garlic, dill, black peppercorns, salt, and sugar into a medium sized container with a lid. Pour in the vinegar and water and stir well to cover everything in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using. Make 24 hours ahead for a better flavor. 
  2. In another bowl, stir together the cream cheese, horseradish, worcestershire sauce, and chives.  Season with salt and black pepper to taste and stir again until smooth and creamy in texture. 
  3. To assemble the sandwiches, spread the creamy horseradish sauce on two slices of bread before layering on one the pastrami, tomato slices, mushrooms and cucumbers, and finish with a leaf or two of lettuce and the other slice of bread on top. Serve immediately. 

Have a Fun meal!
