Mentioned this on the other thread, but bear with me anyway:

Piece of bread. Doesn't matter what kind. Can you make a sandwich out of it? Then it counts. Is it still in loaf form? Then it doesn't.
Cashew butter.
Piping hot super crispy bacon.
Tabasco red pepper jelly.
Piece of bread. (Should be same kind of bread as above, unless you're Donald Ducking.)

tep is elvis and i claim my $5

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 5 March 2004 00:50 (twenty years ago) link

Nooooooo

I changed it up from a sandwich they make at Bayonne in New Orleans -- they use smoked duck and pickled red onions, I substituted bacon.

It's good! The hot bacon makes a little of the spicy jelly caramelize or something. It's like peanut butter and jelly, but uh oh, surprise spicy bacon!

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 5 March 2004 00:53 (twenty years ago) link

no it sounds great! i am just thinking about irt to my current uh "c'mon get healthy, fatty" initiative, and cringing.

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 5 March 2004 00:55 (twenty years ago) link

If you thought of it as a substitute for a hamburger, it might actually be lower-calorie (don't quote me on that)..

But I grok -- that Jungle Jim's trip is going to be in the middle of Lent, and I've given up junk food, desserts, and fried anything until Easter.

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 5 March 2004 00:56 (twenty years ago) link

Is it still in loaf form? Then it doesn't

NO! Ciabatta to thread.

Matt (Matt), Friday, 5 March 2004 00:57 (twenty years ago) link

Am I missing some obvious reason why Tep would only employ bread from different loaves in situations where he was gettin' jiggy?

Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Friday, 5 March 2004 00:59 (twenty years ago) link

That's not really a loaf! Is it? In the "it isn't sliced" sense, I guess it is, but I wouldn't talk about a loaf of pizza.

... pizza loaf.

...

Sorry, jess.

(There are no obvious reasons for jiggy Tep.)

(Wait, wtf?)

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 5 March 2004 00:59 (twenty years ago) link

Hang on, "Donald Ducking" IS rhyming slang right?

Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:00 (twenty years ago) link

pesto sandwiches are god's gift to those who aren't god

oops (Oops), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:01 (twenty years ago) link

Hell Tep, in my hungrier moments, the comment applies to full sized loaves (incidentally, there is a fine tradition of Picnic loaves consisting of loaves of bread hollowed out, filled with meat, veg and stock and then weighed down for a couple of hours, before being sliced and eaten. I'm fairly certain that counts).

Matt (Matt), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:01 (twenty years ago) link

i had to stop myself from just eating the rest of the pesto straight from the jar

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:02 (twenty years ago) link

i also had to stop myself from buying and eating a dozen donuts when i got my coffee today

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:03 (twenty years ago) link

maybe i'm going to get my period soon

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:03 (twenty years ago) link

Oh yeah, I definitely gotta take the loaf disclaimer back, cause of oyster loaves et al. Good call.

Donald Ducking -- in this case, refers to the practice of making a sandwich where the top doesn't match the bottom. High probability I just made that up a few posts ago.

Pesto -- one of the best jarred foods on the planet, I think.

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:06 (twenty years ago) link

Clarity! (Disappointment, though). Pesto love.

carnitas ---> substitute milanesa, that's good too.

vahid (vahid), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:14 (twenty years ago) link

If I had stayed in New England, I might have succumbed, and my favorite sandwich might be:

TOTALLY WHITE HOT DOG BUN, looks like it's been turned inside out before being split down the middle
GOBS OF FLAVORLESS YET FATTY MAYONNAISE, mixed in with
SMALL CHUNKS OF LOBSTER MEAT, with virtually no texture thanks to the mayo, seasoned with nothing except salt in the boiling water

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:15 (twenty years ago) link

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:16 (twenty years ago) link

(which would make a terrible sandwich)

luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:16 (twenty years ago) link

It was the only thing I could think of to counter the McRib.

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:16 (twenty years ago) link

I'm disappointed.

isn't the lobster roll like some sort of regional delicacy?? it's totally impossible to get one in socal, so all the foodies out here spent all last summer talking about them.

any sandwich with roasted red peppers on it!

metfigga (metfigga), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:20 (twenty years ago) link

I'm in socal and I defy you to point out to me one person who wanted a lobster roll.

If you can, I'll punch them in the nose and serve them a shit sandwich as they clearly know nothing about food.

luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:20 (twenty years ago) link

I'm going to modify the strongo thusly:

ciabatta bread
thai bbq sauce or chipotle sauce (something spicy and tomato based)
mayonaise
salad greens
grilled red peppers
provolone cheese
grilled chicken breast
cibatta bread

Do they really? God. It's regional, I wouldn't call it a delicacy. It's like the cheapest form of lobster you can get, in an area where lobster's cheap to begin with, when it's in season.

Theoretically they could be done really well. You want to boil the lobster in water with actual seasoning in it, like lemons and celery and garlic and cayenne, and then serve it warm, not cold, with no mayo, on a decent roll dressed with Worcestershire and Tabasco and celery salt -- that would be good. The lobster roll in its native form? No damn good.

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:21 (twenty years ago) link

MY POINT, BINKY.

luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:21 (twenty years ago) link

I wasn't disagreeing!

I think the Tep remix of the lobster roll is a Bloody Mary in disguise, though.

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:22 (twenty years ago) link

Needs more vodka.

luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:23 (twenty years ago) link

Ed Levine wrote about it in New York Eats: "I have eaten in hundreds of seafood joints, from Maine to Connecticut, from California to Washington State in search of the perfect lobster roll. But the best lobster roll I have ever eaten is at Pearl." And yes, this is the selfsame roll that the New Yorker described as a "Ho-Jo version made sublime," that Time Out New York called "a hot dog from heaven," that the notoriously perfectionist Jeffrey Steingarten described in Vogue as "the most perfect lobster roll imaginable."

this is from the james beard foundation!!
