Real Women Drink Akvavit:

I am just as fanatical about hot sauces as FloydA seems to be about mustard, though I have plenty of mustards (and various 'fancy' salts) as well.


I'm quite a fan of hot sauces too. In fact, I grow my own peppers (not an easy thing to do in Seattle, but I do what I can.)

Want to swap recipes?

Hot sauce, mustard. Everything needs both. Shovel some crushed red pepper on it while we're at it. It's necessary. I pity those people who can't stand flavor.

Master Woodrow Allen:
1718: Birth of the Earl of Sandwich to upper-class parents. Father
is delighted at being appointed chief farrier to His Majesty the King-
a position he will enjoy for several years, until he discovers he is a
blacksmith ...
1725-35: Attends school, where he is taught horseback riding and
Latin. At school he comes in contact with cold cuts for the first time
and displays an unusual interest in thinly sliced strips of roast beef
and ham. By graduation this has become an obsession, and although
his paper on "The Analysis and Attendant Phenomena of Snacks"
arouses interest among the faculty, his classmates regard him as odd.
1736: Enters Cambridge University, at his parents' behest, to
pursue studies in rhetoric and metaphysics, but displays little
enthusiasm for either. In constant revolt against everything academic,
he is charged with stealing loaves of bread and performing unnatural
experiments with them. Accusations of heresy result in his expulsion.
1738: Disowned, he sets out for the Scandinavian countries, where
he spends three years in intensive research on cheese...
1741: Living in the country on a small inheritance, he works day
and night, often skimping on meals to save money for food. His first
completed work-a slice of bread, a slice of bread on top of that, and a
slice of turkey on top of both-fails miserably. Bitterly disappointed,
he returns to his studio and begins again.
...
1747: ... Three slices of bread on top of one another add to his
reputation, and while a mature style is not yet evident, he is sent for
by Voltaire.
1751: Journeys to France, where the dramatist-philosopher has
achieved some interesting results with bread and mayonnaise. The
two men become friendly and begin a correspondence that is to end
abruptly when Voltaire runs out of stamps.
1758: His growing acceptance by opinion-makers wins him a
commission by the Queen to fix "something special" for a luncheon
with the Spanish ambassador. He works day and night, tearing up
hundreds of blueprints, but finally-at 4:17 A.M., April 27, 1758-he
creates a work consisting of several strips of ham enclosed, top and
bottom, by two slices of rye bread. In a burst of inspiration, he
garnishes the work with mustard. It is an immediate sensation, and
he is commissioned to prepare all Saturday luncheons for the
remainder of the year.
1760: He follows one success with another, creating "sandwiches,"
as they are called In his honor, out of roast beef, chicken, tongue, and
nearly every conceivable cold cut. ...

Psycat: Random thought: Do people make Manwiches any more? IIRC, they were just Sloppy Joes or something like that. Nowadays, if you tell your wife to 'go git me a Manwich, woman', she might return with the pool boy's schlong wrapped in a hot-dog bun...

I buy a can of Manwich every once in awhile. Sometimes I just a hankering for it.

A challenger appears and laughs at the other entrants in this thread

Made one of these for the first time in preparation for the 'Marvel Movie Marathon'; free refills on soda in the theater and i was set.

Used a sourdough round fresh from Boudin's, baked the day before. Horseradish. Stone ground mustard made with some of my favorite stout. It was like heaven on a bun.

Seriously, everyone here owes it to themselves to make this at least once in their lives.

Bathia_Mapes: I buy a can of Manwich every once in awhile. Sometimes I just a hankering for it.

OMG, I'm amazed that's still around from the 70s. One food item that's long gone (at least I think it is) from the 70s is the 1-2-3 Jello stuff that would separate into three layers as it set. Went the way of polyester leisure suits...

On a sandwich-related note, one I really crave right now is a Vietnamese French-bread sandwich with pork and a lot of veggies. First time I had one, I was warned by a Vietnamese acquaintance not to eat something in the sandwich which looked kinda sorta like a very narrow celery stalk. I foolishly took a test bite out of this--and my face turned red like the old Snap-E-Tom tomato-faced guy. Hottest damned thing I ever ate, makes habaneros look tame by comparison, and I was in pain for a couple of hours after that...

I make up a big crock pot full every couple of months.

I have my own recipe and make it completely from scratch, none of that canned stuff.

I also use chipotles in mine, makes it a little spicier and gives it a nice smoky undertaste.

BeSerious:

/Not a cheese snob."

Yet you say things like:

I saw "American cheese" in someone's post and practically barfed.

No, that wouldn't be the very definition of a cheese snob, now would it? :P~~~~

I hope this causes you physical pain:

Eggy Sammich

Put two slices of white bread in the toaster,
Crack two eggs into a microwave egg poacher
Poke the yolks with a fork
Add garlic powder, black pepper and tabasco to taste
Add a splash of water to each egg
Nuke 'em until mostly cooked but still slightly runny
While they're nuking, peel two slices of american cheese.

Fabric_Man: Does anyone else here put mustard on their grilled cheese?

Mustard yo. Also, a nice thick slice of a relatively sweet onion stuck in the middle of the finished sandwich (not in the sandwich while it is grilled) is a nice variation.

The most un-kosher sandwich ever:

Thanksgiving, years ago. My (then) G/F and I pulled the old trick of her telling her family that she was going to have dinner with my family, and I said I was going to hers. We spent the day mostly nekkid.

But Thanksgiving is a food holiday, so I made two ginormous loaves of challa bread. Brushed with egg white, sprinkled with poppy seeds.

One of the loaves didn't rise properly for whatever reason, so I sliced it lengthwise and filled it with ham and provolone cheese with a sprinkling of parmesan.

I described it to a jewish friend later.... "You made challa on thanksgiving and put ham and cheese on it?" "That is.... I don't even know where to begin..."

"I'd eat the hell out of it...."

Agreed.

1. Meat loaf slices, sharp Cheddar cheese, mayo, mustard, ketchup, lettuce and tomato slices, all on sourdough bread.

2. Thick slabs of smoked ham (Jennie-O turkey ham works too) and sharp cheddar with mustard and fried egg, over-hard, on toasted whole wheat (GREAT breakfast meal although a bit greasy.)

3. If you're poor, fry an egg over hard (break the yolk, season it with a skosh of salt & plenty of ground black pepper. Meanwhile, toast two slices of bread then spread ketchup on them. Pop the fried egg in between and eat. (Recipe given to my mom by an Italian friend of hers, who made it through the post-WWII shortages in Italy by such things.)

4. Those Vietnamese sandwiches- to die for, and cheap besides!

I'm rather odd in that I don't really do recipes as anything other than a nebulous suggestion. I see what I've got around the house, ponder a bit, then just start throwing stuff together. Like tonight I had the stuff to make Chicken Cordon Bleu, but it somehow turned into a Chicken Cordon Bleu Macaroni and Cheese (with mustard and hot sauce spiked in there, of course). Why? I do not know. I felt like doing it, so I did. I am a virtual font of food ideas, though. That's why my college days were such a waste. I keep wandering back into small, independent restaurants for work because that's what I like and that's what I'm good at doing.

We get a hankering for it every once in awhile, but just use the canned stuff. Would you mind sharing the recipe?
