HOLY SHIT.

This is the best sandwich I’ve ever had.

I’m taking full creds on inventing it. I mean, I’ve never heard of it exactly as so, so I invented it! Plus it was freestyle, the apples were a total afterthought so there was definitely no copying here.

You MUST try this. New fave-all-time-best-ever sandwich invention.

Ingredients: Smoked Turkey, Cambozola Cheese, Gala Apples, Red Onion, Dijon mustard, grilled or melted in the oven on whole wheat toast.

Selleck: N.K.O.T.B.

There’s a new sandwich blog on the scene.

It’s pretty good, it’s called: Selleck Waterfall Sandwich.

I did a little Google search and this site is getting a whole lot of press. National Post, Entertainment Weekly, UK Metro…damn. I mean, I prefer my average of 2 website hits per day and my devoted handful of Mmmayo fans, thanks guys!

So ya, check out THIS SITE. I probably wouldn’t have found it had Tom himself not sent me the link.

My train of thoughts went something like this: ‘what?…weird…ha…ha…huh?…niiiice’. After the confusion quickly dissolved I couldn’t help admire the cut&paste skills. Was hard to find an overall fave. Each waterfall, sandwich and Selleck has their own appeal, not to mention the composition, music and movement.

Hungary has brought many things to our lives.

My obvious favourite being…

A recent visit to Vancouver Island brought me to a European Deli where all their meats and sausages are made in-house. I have had the pleasure of trying their Hungarian Salami and their Dutch Smoked Beef in the past.

Check out the Jellied Ox Tongue in the photo below…ewwwe.

This visit they were out of Hungarian Salami so I followed my Dad’s lead and ordered the Hungarian Head Cheese. Some would say ‘ewe’ to that I guess…actually I think I did even. But I went for it. And it was good. It was great actually! The bun was fresh and the fixins were just right!

Ingredients: Hungarian Head Cheese, Cheddar Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Pickle, Mustard and Mayo on a bun.

Well heck, isn’t my face red. According to Wiki:

Head cheese  is not a cheese but a meat jelly made with pieces from the head of a calf or pig (sometimes a sheep or cow) in aspic. It may include meat from the feet, tongue, and heart.

Historically meat jellies were made of the cleaned (all organs removed) head of the animal, which was simmered to produce stock, a peasant food made since the Middle Ages. When cooled, the stock congeals because of the natural gelatin found in the skull.

Mmmm, wow. I guess the only difference between what I ate and the Jellied Ox Tongue, is that mine had the word ‘Hungarian’ in it. Which means it great, obviously.

Heavy Duty

Cheese overload from JJ Bean sammy. Yesterday’s salad would have been good with this one.

Thank you to KB and LB for the Xmas gift card. I know its supposed to be for hot chocs but I forgot me lunch.

Ingredients: Cheddar Cheese, Mozzerella Cheese, Garlic Mayo Cream Cheese Spread and Tomato, grilled on bread.

Flat Sandwich

I tell ya, a jar of pesto instantly makes you a good cook. I’ve never bought pre-made pesto before now, but it’s darn good! And versatile.

I do recommend a side of salad with this sandwich as its pretty rich.

Ingredients: Mozzarella Cheese & Pesto on whole wheat pita, pressed.

Stealers Can’t Be Choosers

And by stealers I mean thieves, it just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Either way, I took what I could get out of the office fridge today from yesterday’s staff meeting leftovers. Meat, lettuce and condiments is all that was left and I went for it. I would never normally choose a cranberry hoagie either, but…read the title of this post.

Ingredients: Roast Beef, Salami, Rosemary Ham, Lettuce, Mayo and Dijon Mustard on a cranho.

I read THIS funny story by a popular YOUNG ‘fashion blogger’ while eating my lunch. Real cute.

And I found THIS page when I googled the spelling of ‘hoagie’ for my post. History lesson to all.

You know, I’ve been waiting for a serious reason to visit Paris lately…

THE EUROPEAN SANDWICH AND SNACK SHOW

You say tomato, I say tomato.

…but we both spell it the same!

Ingredients: Srambled egg with green onion, melted Cheddar Cheese, Tomato, Mayo, S&P on toasted whole wheat.

Infinity Wrap

I have had this box of plastic wrap since 2003!! Yup, it was from my first roomies in Whistler. I got it in the divorce (just kidding they’re my best friends), I brought it with me to my new place on the upper south side and then trecked it down to Vancouver a couple of years later. AND IT’S STILL YIELDING!! Only thing is I dropped it once and lost the little cutter, but it’s been going this whole time.

It’s crazy to me. Costco is bogus….or maybe great, I don’t know, definitely insane. I had to tell you about this box of wrap while its still got some life and now you can witness how much longer it will still last before its done. And I pack lunches!! This has wrapped probably 98% of the homebrew sandwiches on this blog. And all my cheese! And all my…. well, you get it. It’s crazy right?

Eat it.

Interests include: cooking…and eating leftovers for 1-3 meals after.

Cooking for 1 gets a lil discouraging after a while…or should I say BORING. I love love love to cook but sometimes I like to cook more than I like to eat it! Well at least that’s true when I get to the 3rd portion in a row. Dinner, lunch, dinner…lunch/freeze/toss. I try to make small portions, I do! But it’s hard.

Anyway, enough of this fall/winter cooking. I’m taking it back to the basics: Sandwiches and carrot sticks.

Ingredients: Cheddar Cheese, Tomato, Mayo, S&P on whole wheat.

Yesterday: Grilled, hot.

Today: Toasted, cold.
