Switch that for broccoli cheddar soup, my mind combined breadbowl and grilled cheese there and now I want to see how delicious a grilled cheese breadbowl would be.

focaccia is awesome! i mean, bread is super important to the sammich IMO. I think that's where a lot of people fuck up with their sammich making expedition
There are a lot of weird breads where I work... I had Asiago Black Pepper yesterday, which is pretty spicy, and then there is the four-cheese bread they only make on Saturday... which is like Asiago, Parm, and some other ass I can't recall. Challah is also great... a bit sweet. MMMM.

Maybe it because the knee jerk hating of everything middle eastern under Bush is lessening so all the tasty cool shit that is out there is finally being recognised,
As some one who is part Persian there is some seriously good nommage over there that should catch on
naw, it hasn't anything to do with politics. people here don't vote with their stomachs. gyros were a fairly popular snack in American cities with a large Greek/Armenian/South Balkan population some years past; i grew up in Chicago, and was eating gyros in the early 70s. i know that they were also a common item in New York City decades ago. in both cities they were sold from carts on the sidewalks as well as various small shops and restaurants. i think it's just that the US is a really large country, and much of it wasn't settled by people from kebab-eating cultures. in general, South Asian and Arab peoples are a much smaller part of the US population than in Britain, Greeks settled largely in the large cities of the eastern US, and Armenian, Macedonian, Turk, and Persian communities are rare, and thus many people simply haven't been exposed to those cultures' foods. there are still places in America that don't even have decent Mexican food yet, for that matter.

i don't recall seeing them on the West Coast (by which i mean the Bay Area to Seattle; i've only visited LA once) much before the mid-1990s, when they started showing up as a fair-midway food option.

The second I can eat properly again, I have a day of sandwiches planned.
MORNING SANDIE: Vegetarian sausage, scrambled egg with chive and spiced beans between two lightly buttered slices of Walnut Sourdough bread.
LUNCHTIME SABICH: Houmous, techina, hard-boiled egg, pickles, parsley and fried eggplant shoved into a Pita.
DINNERTIME MANWICH: Cajun spiced chicken, Ensalada de la Doom (Rocket, Red Onion, Spinach/Kale, spiced sesame seeds and mixed nuts, grated & fried sweet potato,sweet bite peppers) with Honey Mustard Sauce atop within wheaten loaf, served with Paprika & Cayanne Sweet Potato Fries.
Warwick.hoy I think recently Facebooked a picture of the most delicious bacon sandwich I've ever seen. I want to involve myself in bacon soon too. Anybody know a sauce or condiment outside of ketchup or brown sauce that pairs spectacularly with bacon?
Got this from the new deli in the gas station... It's called the Whole Hog and has sourdough, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, ham, salami, peperoni, bacon and BACON JAM... Not sure what's in the bacon jam but it rules and you can get it on anything... It's kinda sweet but smokey and has finely chopped bacon bits... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
