It's a crisp 83°f (28.3c) in the house. I decided I was definitely not turning on any heat source for dinner. Which isn't cheap. Cost per person: $6.41
I think it's türkiye now... Delicious

MODERATORS
It will always be the Eastern Roman Empire to me.
is that potatobread? i wholeheartedly approve.
Potato buns? If so, that's the way to do it
Yes. I figured it was the only real option for this one.
Noice!
Where can potato bread/buns be had normally?
Those sandwiches are stacked!
When you make them at home you don't get charged $2.50 for extra meat.
What did you all put on it?
Honey turkey, Colby Jack, cucumber, brown mustard, mayo, Greek seasoning, black pepper.
My wife described it as "the most bland thing you have ever served me without my input."
Was about to comment on this lol:
"Cooking"? Looks more like assembly to me. 😂
Sometimes that's all you got in you.
Dude I hear that.
Family is away for a few days. I ordered a family-sized pizza that I intend to live off for the duration of their trip.
As hot as it is that sounds like a great idea. Cold for breakfast. Hot for lunch and dinner.
Skipping breakfast actually, so I can eat it only hot. 😅 Since I met my wife I've realized that some people like cold pizza.
I'm not one of those people. 🙂↔️ I can't see the point, when warm is so much better. Seems a waste, to me.
Sounds amazing, whats her spin on a non-bland preparation? Is your wife a sugar fiend oe something?
She is from western Pennsylvania. Before I met her she was one of those "mayo is spicy" people.
Im not familiar with the area
Think very close to Ohio, lots of Amish, absolutely zero ability to add seasoning to anything.
Was she complaining about the blandness or was she joking its how she likes it and can handle it and you succeeded?
It looks like a tasty sandwich with more ingredients that I usually use in aggregate for my sandwiches which I find not unflavorful, I dont get why she would complain about that in this context tho.
Was she imploring you to do better next time?
I think it was shock that I didn't try to punch it up. No red wine vinegar, spicy mayo, hidden pickles, slaw topping, or other elements. Just a sandwich like anyone might make. She wasn't complaining. Just a bit mystified.
Did you punch it down it down in your opinion or did you just learn she doesnt like all that stuff?
Sorry to psychoanalyze y'all lmao, just seemed bizarre to me
It was hot. I just needed a basic sandwich.
Right? Makes sense. Cuccumbers are so refreshing in that respect also
We have traded lettuce for cucumbers for most sandwiches. Partly because it's a better flavor that can still offer crunch but also because my wife considers cucumbers a food group.
Both are awesome together, cuccumbers have such an oddly pleasing and palatable almost umami flavor or mouth feel in their own respect, very hydrating too
American "Food"
Sometimes that's what's for dinner. Expensive processed stuff.
I hate to break it to you but Sandwiches are British.
If I'm reading that correctly then an under us law there is no such thing as a peanut butter a jelly sandwich because it does not contain at least 35% meat.
Are you talking about the USDA part? Then no, what can be called a sandwich by law varies by state, and mostly just has to do with legal contracts vis a vis exclusivity agreements and such.
The USDA part is just saying that if you’re going to sell a hotdog it has to be at least 50% hotdog it can’t be 75% bun.
Brits would call this a roll. Sandwiches are made with slices of bread.
You clearly didn’t even read the link.
The name is, not the food. It has been ubiquitous everywhere were bread has been a thing.
You didn’t read the link either.
Delicious looking food.
... Potato chips?
When I was in the US 48 years ago, the side tended to be potato chips, not fries.
Depends on where you are. Some people call them crisps.
Not uncommon for a picnic type meal (or meal eaten at a picnic table anyways) and it's summer and all. My parents did similar growing up in the 80s but can't say I've done it myself since I save the crisps for later. Basically a choice of sandwich and some side chips to go with it. Yes I know I changed terms of chips I just enjoy using various words, always fun when French fries are involved. Being Canadian I used a bit of both sides of English, thong was the flip flops on the feet in my house, though also no sisters which may have impacted how that word was used. If anyone else enjoys Danny Bhoy comedian I always loved his bit on thongs.
Homemade dip? Looks way thicker and nicer than the shit from a jar I'm used to.
Heluva Good!® Onion Dip. Normally I "make" my own with onion soup mix and sour cream but today that sounded like work.
Looks tasty. Nice work Goose Egg
