The Unoffical "Check out my Sandwhich" Thread

[Its_asdf]

I don't eat sandwiches very often since I mostly eat Chinese food, but it just makes it even more sweet when I'm able to get my hands on one. I don't mind having anything that isn't that fancy, just two slices of bread with some meat, cheese and lettuce and I'm all set.

Yeah ive toyed with the idea of making some french toast to put in a sandwich, just never really the time... although I could down a few pieces right now

Yeah im a bit supprised that nobody had heard of the egg in bread thing, as I said its a common breakfast commodity when we go camping

EDIT: BTW j.23, what is IHOP?

I've heard about french toast before, just never in the middle of a sandwhich. It amazed me because i can't believe i didn't think of it before.

yeah the egg in bread has a name-toad in a whole that's a real name, you'll see it at restaurants and stuff

French toast! Used to have it daily for for breakfast, with some maple syrup and magarine. But it's not as easy to make as those sandwiches imo, you have to beat the egg and then dip, fry it... Wash the pan and stuff...

Not to toot my own horn but my french toast is the bomb.

*beep! beep!*

Lol, yeah I just made a sandwich with French toast, this time using the French toast as all the bread layers, it was pretty good, but the French Toast flavour got overpowered by the other stuff in the sandwhich.... dont think ill put Pineapple in it next time.....

Is a burrito a sandwich? Judge says no.

WORCESTER, Mass. - Is a burrito a sandwich? The Panera Bread Co. bakery-and-cafe chain says yes. But a judge said no, ruling against Panera in its bid to prevent a Mexican restaurant from moving into the same shopping mall.

Panera has a clause in its lease that prevents the White City Shopping Center in Shrewsbury from renting to another sandwich shop. Panera tried to invoke that clause to stop the opening of an Qdoba Mexican Grill.

But Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Locke cited Webster's Dictionary as well as testimony from a chef and a former high-ranking federal agriculture official in ruling that Qdoba's burritos and other offerings are not sandwiches.

The difference, the judge ruled, comes down to two slices of bread versus one tortilla.

"A sandwich is not commonly understood to include burritos, tacos and quesadillas, which are typically made with a single tortilla and stuffed with a choice filling of meat, rice, and beans," Locke wrote in a decision released last week.

In court papers, Panera, a St. Louis-based chain of more than 900 cafes, argued for a broad definition of a sandwich, saying that a flour tortilla is bread and that a food product with bread and a filling is a sandwich.

Qdoba, owned by San Diego-based Jack in the Box Inc., called food experts to testify on its behalf.

Among them was Cambridge chef Chris Schlesinger, who said in an affidavit: "I know of no chef or culinary historian who would call a burrito a sandwich. Indeed, the notion would be absurd to any credible chef or culinary historian."

All that argument made me hungry.
