Some great ideas in here guys! Sounds delicious! (A few have made me go :sick2: though too...head cheese?!) Keep the great discussion rolling. :thumbsup:
If I may, I'd like to wax poetic on the topic of the sandwich for a moment:
My Take on the Sandwich
I think that one of the things that makes the sandwich such a delight is the humble, unpretentious and non-prejudicial way it goes about its business of crushing hunger. It is simple and understated, yet sophisticated and elegant.
Steak and lobster get lots of glory, people pay lots of money for these treats; the sandwich not so much. Yet, when you leave for work in the morning with your Scooby-Doo lunchbox packed, it's not steak that's inside there. When you have the guys over to watch the game on Sunday afternoon, it's not lobster you're washing down with copious amounts of brew. That's right, the sandwich is there for you, ready and willing to curb hunger anytime, anywhere.
A fabulous sandwich can be made by almost anyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, religion or social status. High quality sandwich ingredients are widely available, are not typically very expensive, and can consist of nearly anything that fits between two pieces of bread. Meat, cheese, fish, eggs, vegetables, legumes, they are all welcome in sandwich's world. Sandwich makes no statements of "You are not allowed on me!" If you like it on there, sandwich will accommodate you. While steak is on its soapbox, condemning the idea of sauce being placed atop its perfectly seared surface :scowl:, sandwich is shouting, "Come aboard, the bread is big enough for all!" Maybe the rest of us could learn a lesson or two from the sandwich.
And the sandwich has a truly uncanny ability to satiate even the most hardcore of appetites. Sandwich imposes no height or weight restrictions, and certainly doesn't gouge you because you want an extra slice of cheese, or an additional dollop of mayo. Sandwich can become anything you need it to be to satisfy your need for sustenance. And it does it all in a delicious, convenient and fun to eat package. A finely prepared sandwich will hold its own in utils of satisfaction against nearly any other food.
Hooray for the sandwich! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
