After Sunday, I'm going meat free for the week.
Made BLT wraps last night with green leaf lettuce, beefsteak tomato, hickory smoked bacon, and a homemade chiptole mayo. Also made a roasted carrot and saffron soup (I only break the saffron a couple times a year) that was one of the best soups I have ever made. Totally winged it too.
Peeled and roughly chopped a lb. of carrots, and roasted them at 425 until fragrant (around fifteen minutes). I let them cool, then returned them to a soup pot, added enought chicken broth to cover them and about a quarter cup of sliced onions, brought it to a boil, let simmer for around ten minutes. Threw the mix in a blender, returned to pot and added around 3/4's cup of whole milk and stirred until thick. Added a pinch of saffron and that's all there is to it.
Dirt cheap too. Carrots cost about a dime a piece.

Re: What are you eating?
I like my sandwiches dry or almost dry. Personally, I like a small touch of spicy brown/deli mustard or Dijon mustard. American yellow mustard and ketchup are both ow-yu-tee OUT! Mayonnaise is an abomination. Honey mustard is for finger food; keep it off my sandwich. Some sandwiches (not all) benefit from a light splash of vinegar (don't drown it) or a few slices of pickles to supply said vinegar. If I can't find the right condiment, I'll just eat my sandwich dry rather than sully it with ketchup.BoringSupreez wrote:A true connoisseur of sandwiches.MrPopo wrote:I have a delicious sandwich of roast beef piled high on marble rye.

You might say I have strong opinions concerning sandwiches.

I'm eating popsicles at 10:00 in the morning. For some reason I got a craving for them right now.

Corned beef needs Kraut more than Kanye needs samples (ah-ha honey).
Roast beef desires horseradish.
Hard salami isn't at home without yellow mustard.
Ham without swiss makes for a sad sandwich.
A plain turkey sandwich is utterly miserable.
Any of you guys own, or at one point owned, a Snackster? It's like a super George Foreman grill, but for sandwiches. The Snackster is THE PRODUCT for college students and anyone who craves a quick and hot midnight snack. The "grill" seals the sandwich, so you get these incredible gooey pockets of cheese when the sandwich is cooked. The bread is perfectly toasted to the point where the crust of whole wheat bread is even delicious.
Thing makes a grilled cheese more delicious than any Panini.

Who on planet Earth besides the mentally ill puts ketchup on a sandwich? I honestly have never seen ketchup on a sandwich, unless you count Thousand Island as a ketchup mix.samsonlonghair wrote:I like my sandwiches dry or almost dry.

Mayonnaise is the condiment of the Gods. No Dukes, no "Whip", but Hellmann's REAL Mayonnaise is a thing of beauty.

Yo, Duke's is also REAL mayo, don't be lumping that in with the abomination known as Miracle Whip.Luke wrote:Mayonnaise is the condiment of the Gods. No Dukes, no "Whip", but Hellmann's REAL Mayonnaise is a thing of beauty.
Re: What are you eating?
When I first moved to NC it was "Duke's or get out!". That stuff tastes JUST LIKE Miracle Whip. They both have that citrony tasting tang to it that gets in the way of the smooth flavor.TSTR wrote:Yo, Duke's is also REAL mayo, don't be lumping that in with the abomination known as Miracle Whip.Luke wrote:Mayonnaise is the condiment of the Gods.

Duke's is fine on sandwiches, but not for cooking or by itself. And yes, I have eaten spoonfuls of nothing but Hellmann's Real mayonnaise.

Fuck yeah! Found a place nearby my house that sells hot dogs in a natural casing. That delicious snap when you bite into them!

The only hotdog worth eating that doesn't pop when you bite into it is a Bill's Hotdog.MrPopo wrote:Fuck yeah! Found a place nearby my house that sells hot dogs in a natural casing. That delicious snap when you bite into them!
