Favorite Sandwich of all time!

Grocery stores here have it, but in a pinch, you can go to Brit food import place and click on sauces and spices.
NFI, just didn't want Scott using his air miles for HP Sauce.

French fries are NOT a condiment, they're a side - just look on ANY menu, under SIDES.

Condiment schmondiment. Fries are no worse than mushed up chips. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Legend has it, when Primanti's opened ~100 years ago, no one ordered any plates; so they just piled the fries and everything else onto the bread. Another version says that dock workers/truck drivers needed a hearty meal they could eat without utensils. Pick whatever version you like.

And brown sauce is like A1? Brown ketchup?

Well, sort of. More like a mix or Lee&Perrins Wocesteshire(sp?) sauce and ketchup. It's actually really good. Much sweeter than A1. If you can eat sprouts and cheese and weird veggies, you just might like the HP Sauce.

The Wegmans here has just started to carry it /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banana.gif.

I've been going to the UK several times a year since '98, when I spent a month there and got hooked on some favorites. I have a list of things that I bring back on every trip (Flaky bars, Harrods #14 tea, Walkers Cheese/Onion Crisps, wife's Vogue UK Edition, etc.) It's more a habit than anything. We're taking the kids over Memorial Day (their first UK trip, ages 6 and 8). They are so excited.
 
Grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich. Heavy on the buddah. THE KINGS FAVORTIE. Thankew, Thankewverymuch. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
 
"a really well-made Reuben" impossable to find but to die for.
 
Bacon and tomato (no lettuce)...made with Petit Jean Bacon cooked flat with a bacon press, white bread with mayonaise and the tomato is hand sized out of the garden (Still warm from the sun) and sliced so one slice covers the bread. I only eat them during "tomato season" but I could have them for breakfast lunch and dinner.

It sounds a little weird, but there's nothing better after a night out on the town in Pittsburgh, after a Steelers game, etc. The downtown location never closes. Yum.
Ooooo! I'd almost fogotten about Primanti Brothers sandwichs. Got the chance to try one last year when I went to Pittsburgh with my on again/off again girlfriend who's family lives in Greensburg.

Great sandwich! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif

Ahhh Greensburg... I fondly remember terrorizing that town in my buddies 79 Z28 when I was in college. Ok trade school. He lived in Latrobe, and I was in Blairsville. There's nothing but the automotive school in Blairsville (oh and one of the murders in Steven Kings book "Christene" happened there. Which I read while living there)
So evenings and weekends were either Latrobe/Greensburg or Indiana P.A. on the IUP campus. ("Ya know that's where Jimmy Stewart grew up." as my Grandpa told me every time I came home)
Pittsburgh Definatly is a good tahn for food.

Lately it's been a 12" muffalatta from Papa Joe's deli... but there are sooo many choices.

A real "Philly" Philly steak 'n Cheese.

<span style="color: #FF0000">*Anything* from Promani (sic) Bro's </span>in dahntahn Pittsburgh.

Hot, pressed Cuban from the 'hood in Miami.

<span style="color: #FF0000">"Frizzleburger" from Isley's in Sewickley</span>.


...now my gut is growlin' and it's only 0700 local. Looks like Papa Joe's fer lunch!!

/bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/iagree.gif Now yunsr talkin' Doc. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif I have had the destinct pleasure and the privilege of enjoying those!!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif
I must also add that down here in Fl. if you like subs (hoagies, grinders or whatever you call them in other regions!) Publix Supermarket delis almost uniformly make an amazing sandwich at a great price!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
 
Primanti in da 'burgh has always been pronounced "Promani" in Pisburghese... Goin' dahntahn anat we'd have to git food dere. Yins dunno what GOOD is until yins had fries on 'at samwige.

There was a sandwich shop in Conshohocken that made THE best steak 'n cheese... no idea if it exists now, no recollection of the name. <shrug>

The Publix ones are okay, but BELIEVE me, this Papa Joe's outfit is REALLY good. The muffalatta consists of ham, mortadella, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, olive spread. Hot, pressed... <drool>... 12" one is $6, and they don't scrimp. A full meal for two -normal- humans. I tend to snap an' growl at th' suggestion of "sharing" one. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

They claim to be Ybor City's original Cuban sandwich shop. Ybor was nothing but ex-pat Cubans and Italians in the beginning. Now it's mostly just a tourist trap. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

Scotty!!! When next you have a Primanti Bro's sandwich, think of me. Mebbe I'll taste it 'osmotically'. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

Oh my....lessee, it's quarter to nine local time....can I make a Chicago-Florida run and be back at work tomorrow at 7 ayem?

Maybe I should just go after work tomorrow....I betcha I can be back in time for work Sunday afternoon at 2.

And, may I ask what's Coronation Chicken? I got several answers through Google.

come to think of it, I've been a hankerin' for cheese steak sammies and "White Castle" sliders the last couple of days...

I wasn't very impressed with my first White Castle's meal last Nov. But I've been mysteriously wanting some lately, and the frozen food isle version just isn't the same.
 
yeah...

and I've been hearing that was my mistake from others as well... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
 
Herself thinks White Castle burgers are Haute Cusine... I can't STAND the stuff meself. Even wif a snootful they're just downright repulsive.

I'd sooner eat a matched set o' Qik-Rip cheese n' chili, ground organ meat hotdogs. :shrug: :beeerp:

slice of bread-~thick layer of peanut butter-slice of bread

the second slice is optional /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

when I was a kid I ate so much peanut butter...I had a front baby tooth that had turned brown but failed to
come out....I went for weeks this way since MOM thought
it was just peanut butter...that was until we found it
(where?) in my peanut butter sandwich!!!!.... I still love
PEANUT BUTTER!
