Journal Ethelred Unraed's Journal: Wading into the Great Sandwich Debate 11

Journal by Ethelred Unraed
In case you're living under a rock, the great PB&J debate is starting to spread (no pun intended, no not really) and reach new dimensions.

While PB&J is a rare and great delicacy, I submit that it is not the Ultimate Sandwich.

I submit, nay, I insist that that following is:

Baguette roll
Dijon mustard on top half, herbed Philly cream cheese on bottom half
Roast beef (nice and pink and juicy)
Virginia ham, honey-cured
Jarlsberg cheese
Sliced Vidalia onions

Truly, truly, there is no better sandwich. End of debate.

Note: It is an established fact since Roman times that the words "End of debate" are, in fact, the clarion call for the biggest fscking flamefest in human history to begin.

  • That sandwich sounds so yummy... even better (albeit with a lil' crunch) with some crispy bacon on top :).
  • That sounds very tasty, but I am a man that appreciates a simpler sandwich.

    First, find a really good Jewish deli. The Hebrew Tribes mastered the art of deli 4,000 years ago, probably while wandering in the desert. What better time to master the sandwich - the perfect portable meal.

    Now, start with two slices of rye bread. Spread them well with deli mustard. Pile the bread high with one of the following...

    • Pastrami
    • Corned Beef
    • Tongue - yes - it sounds gross but it is a nice piece of tender meat with
    • Add a fresh dill pickle, a side of fresh coleslaw, and a Knish. Drink a Dr. Brown's Creme Soda with it. This is the culinary experience that can preserve the hope of a people lost in the desert.

      This just begs for a BlackHat-style texttoon.

    • My suggestion: get 'em to toast a bagel (preferably one of those "everthing" ones), throw on some cream cheese and smoked salmon.

      There was this little place I lived by a year ago that sold 'em for $4. Man oh man. Taste heaven. Or wherever it is the chosen end up.

  • That sounds okay and all, but I for one have a constraint: I'm vegetarian. People have asked me how I could have become a vegetarian, and do I not miss things like cheeseburgers. I do not. But if I couldn't eat the occasional PB&J, then I'd have a serious problem :)

    Runner up sandwich would be a good grilled cheese sandwich, but not just the old two slices of wonderbread and a slab of Velveeta, but with actual nice, grainy bread, two or three different varieties of cheese (provolone, swiss, etc), and fi

      Well! That leaves...cheese, mustard and cream cheese. And onions. Nope, doesn't do it for me. ;-)

      If God intended us to be vegetarians, why did He make animals out of meat?

      Actually, in fairness I do sometimes eat vegetarian -- especially when I make good old "hoo flung dung" (my generic name for stir fry -- usually "hm, got lots of stuff in the fridge, let's toss it in a wok and use it up"). I quite often make some c

  • I want some REAL TRUE Vidalia onions! They're on my list of things I can't get anymore because I don't live in the south. *sigh* Yes, to be called Vidalia onions, they have to be grown in a certain blend of soil within the boundaries of Vidalia, Georgia.

    These 'Texas sweet' onions don't hold a candle to Vidalias. Especially caramelized vidalias. mmm...

    Great. Now I want to go visit my mom in Maine and make her make hamburgers. Until recently, she lived in Georgia, and her hamburgers are... really yummy. Fri

      Dear lady! For those Southerners forced to live in a foreign country (like the North), a little secret: order 'em here [vidaliaonion.com]. Nuff said. ;-)

      American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

      Odd, I've seen Vidalias on sale in the supermarket here in WA a couple of times a year. I've also seen them in specialty markets more often.

    and an aside - this debate is entirely separate from the pbj debate.
