November List sandwiches & October wrapup

We had a slow start to October but ended up with a good 7 posts for the List, matching September. And we had some unusual sandwiches this time too. The Barros Jarpa might just be a hot ham and cheese sandwich, but getting it right proved to be a challenge (and got us a little international attention as well). The Bánh Mì has been a favorite as long as we’ve all been talking about sandwiches, and provided a good subject for a couple of posts as well. And of course the Barbecue sandwich umbrella is so huge we could keep talking about them for years (and probably will), and we got a good three posts covering three completely different regional styles and cuts of meat. A big old pat on the back all around, we kicked October’s ass.

November looks like another delicious month

We’ve got three variations on a beef sandwich, essentially: the Chilean Barros Luco, older sibling to the Barros Jarpa using steak instead of ham; the Bauru, a Brazilian roast beef sandwich with melted mozzerella, tomatoes and pickles; and the Buffalo, NY classic Beef on Weck, a roast beef sandwich on a kaiser roll variant called kummelweck, served with horseradish and jus. I’m salivating just thinking about it.

Let everybody know in the comments below which sandwich or sandwiches you feel like tackling this month. If you haven’t thrown your hat into the ring yet but you feel like writing about one of these, let us know that too! The more the merrier! I’m going to try to cover all three–I have kind of a head start on the Barros Luco already with the research I did last month 🙂

I hope everybody’s still enjoying the process–I know I am. Two months down, something like fifty-six to go!

Sandwich Tribunal

The idea behind this site is to explore the nature of sandwichness by eating every sandwich on the Official en.wikipedia.org List of Sandwiches and then to post here about it, preferably with lots of pictures and also words. Sandwich words.
