What's the deal with sandwiches?
Eggs had their day in the sun, and cereal already made it's splash. Now it's time to celebrate an old standby, the sandwich!
I'll get things started with a classic - the ham, turkey, and salami on wheat.
And a pork cutlet torta.
Took me a while to come around to the idea of a meatless sammy, but these are delicious. Marinated, grilled portabellas with pesto spread. Made sure the cheese was perfectly melted just for 27
I lied and actually couldn't do it without at least a little meat, so I fried some prosciutto til crispy and threw it on there too

Torta inspired but lazy to get the right bread.
Looks lovely, what meat(s) did you use?
yeah, i'd smash that
Black beans were finished with bacon, jalapeno and grilled onion for some burrito bowls I made.
Meat is jamon de pavo, which is turkey ham.
Cheese is queso manchego.
tortas occupy a soft spot on a short roster of sandwiches preferred with lettuce (shredded only, ldo)
not quite sure why, and also not a linguist
but calling it jamon de pavo y queso manchego immediately sounds better off the tongue
for context just took out ear buds after actively not paying attention while reading previous taste palette opinions
so tell 'erry one a proper torta is served on the equivalent of a super sized bimbo hot dog bun
as for stabbing toasted voids of sourdough with negro frijoles
guessing the next effort will be different from previous
might just qualify under current codes if you need conventional torta bread
but next time the geneva convention comes in to play i hope is your last
we look forward towards better future torta efforts from you
all in fun, looks as if your're living life correct
Yes, I agree that it should be served on telera but whenever I go buy specialty bread I end up wasting the bread I already have.
At the same time I'd never make a reuben on non-rye which is why I just said this was inspired by a torta and not a torta.
A similar crime, I made the same for dinner without the avocado since I was out and I used a packet of hotchata powder instead of real hotchata for my drink.
I'll probably be not lazy in the next week and make an actual torta while I'm still in the Yucatan. If it looks good I'll post again.
Guacamole, Mushrooms, touch of Mayonnaise and Provalone on French roll... WINNING!
understand where you're coming from stabn
hate to waste bread but easy to do when you buy two kinds half dozen each minimum
I've grown to really like Panera Bread's Honey Wheat with a hint of molasses (that's what it says on the package, no idea WTF a hint of molasses means or exactly how much molasses is in the damn bread.
the bread is a sugar delivery system... just like McDonalds French Fries.
One day at Whole Foods:
Patron: Excuse me. Where's the bread?
Employee: Poison? It's on Aisle 12.
Breakfast sando today, same bread.
Only maybe interesting thing is I don't have mayo so the bottom sauce is no sugar plain Greek yogurt with salsa picante
Ok a hot dog isn’t a sandwich. What about this thing which they call a hot dog here in France. I’ve seen these sold at a few bakeries. It’s basically a foot long hot dog stuffed in a light baguette type bread and filled with cheese. I haven’t seen anyone order one yet but assume it’s warmed up.
preemptively acknowledging an awkwardly odd question
but never having seen one
is the weiner long past the end of the bun or parallel to the dairy horizon
Giant pig in a blanket but with denser bread. Fransk or french whatever hot dog, big kolache in parts of the world like Texas.
reminds me of this exchange where i learned nobody knows what pigs in a blanket is
This question works much better with the photo attached.
This is called a hot dog.
I guess it’s like a huge kolache.
A kolach,[1] from the Czech and Slovak koláč (plural koláče, diminutive koláčky, meaning "cake/pie"), is a type of sweet pastry that holds a portion of fruit surrounded by puffy yeast dough. Common filling flavors include tvaroh (a type of cottage cheese), fruit jam, poppy seeds, or povidla (prune jam). In the United States, the word kolache is sometimes used as the singular rather than as the plural, and the letter "s" is often added to the end of the word kolache to form "kolaches", which is a double plural.
In some parts of the US, especially in Houston, Texas, klobásník (or klobasnek), which contains sausage or other meat, is also called kolach, because the same kind of dough is used.[4] This pastry is more closely related to a pig in a blanket, however.[5] In contrast, a Czech koláč is always sweet.[6][better source needed] Unlike kolache, which came to the United States with Czech immigrants, klobásníky were first made by Czechs who settled in Texas.[7][8] In Texas, kolaches are often known among people not of Czech origin as "sweet kolaches" or "fruit kolaches", while klobasneks are called kolaches.[4]
Kolach or kolaches for us dumb Muricans
Pigs in a blanket type offerings are called klobasnek.
When I was in college I delivered ag products to the local farmers. There was an authentic Czech bakery in Snook TX and I was tasked to grab breakfast for the office anytime I passed thru there on my early morning deliveries.
And they set me straight on my first visit. "KOLACH IS THE PASTRY WITH FRUIT! KLOBASNEK HAS THE SAUSAGE!" OK!.....Thanks for the update, I'll have a dozen of each.
Pretty sure those Czech immigrants aren’t putting hot dogs in klobasneks. Also I’m from Houston so yeah it’s a kolache.
are we having a czechoff4rollz!
It's the only place that ever made that distinction. It was the late eighties and it's also possible they called the sausage offerings by a different name? That was a few thousand beers ago.
And Da_Nit has probably forgotten more about food than I ever learned. I'd get destroyed in any headsupforfood contest.
Team kolache as an all encompassing word. Just like sometimes you have to clarify what type of coke you want.
When I first moved to the Houston area I had a helluva time with kolache and caliche. They are not the same at all.
Ha no you’re right here it’s just yeah in Houston they don’t bother with the distinction and I feel like Houston is the city with more kolache shops then anyplace else.
