June List Sandwiches and May Wrapup
Greetings, sandwich friends!
May was very nearly a return to the heyday of Sandwich Tribunal, with five List posts in the books. I wrote not one, but two posts on Fruit sandwiches (and I’ve got another one on deck that I may yet get around to writing soon–keep an eye out for it!). Drew returned again with a killer writeup of the Gatsby (along with my own humble entry on the subject) and we flexed our fiction muscles a bit with a Ftira post written entirely in the voice of the character Kasper Gutman as portrayed by Sydney Greenstreet in the 1941 film version of The Maltese Falcon. All in all, quite a month!
And now, onward!
June brings us the Gerber, which is not in fact a baby food sandwich, but rather a type of open-face ham melt using St. Louis’ infamous Provel cheese. Gua Bao is a stuffed steamed Taiwanese bun that looks quite delicious, and Guajolota is a tamale serve in a Mexican bolillo roll. All 3 of these look tasty as heck, and I’m feeling pretty fired up about tackling them.
How about you? Anybody got any ideas for this month? Please let us know if you’d like to write about one or more of these sandwiches in the comments below.
May List Edits:
As usual, the hot dog yoyoed on and off the list, as the debate continues to rage across the internet.
Three sandwiches were added during May that are still on the list as of today, June 4th, 2016. We will add them to our schedule in due order. One of them will have to be done in a makeup month, as it is before our current position in the alphabet
Carrozza sandwich, added May 27, is apparently a grilled cheese sandwich made with deep-fried mozzarella. Ow, my arteries.
Larry David Sandwich, added May 15, is “a deli-style sandwich with white fish, sabel, capers, onions, and cream cheese,” popularized by the TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Pepito, added May 24, is a type of Venezuelan steak sandwich.
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.
