September List Sandwiches and August Wrapup
Hi! Just over 2 years ago, we started this site. In September of 2014, we started our main project The List. 2 years, 24 months, 72 sandwiches later, we’re roughly 40% of our way through.
Welcome to Year Three of Sandwich Tribunal!
Last month was a pretty typical month at the Tribunal (apart from being dubbed the HAMPOCALYPSE): 3 sandwiches, linked by nothing but alphabetical proximity. We managed to get 5 List posts done during the month–a celebration of a crappy fast-food ham and cheese sandwich, a writeup of the ham and egg buns available in Chicago’s Chinatown that became something of a meditation on life changes, and three very different takes on the hamburger.
This month, though… We’ve got some wackiness lined up.
HAMDOG, a hot dog wrapped in a hamburger? What could be more American? Har cheong gai burger, a chicken thigh battered with fermented shrimp paste. Sounds pretty wacky, right? And something with which I’m quite familiar but some of our readers might not be, the Central Illinois specialty, the Horseshoe! An open-faced sandwich covered in fries and cheese sauce! Delectable!
Changes to the List
Some enterprising Brazilian has added a couple hitherto unlisted (and alphabetically retro) sandwiches, thus adding another 2 sandwiches we’ll need to make up down the line. Additionally, a Bolivian sandwich has been added, and I hope the entry gets filled out because it seems like it might be fun to try!
- Beirute, added August 14th, a Brazilian ham and cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomato
- Farroupilha, added August 14th, a Brazilian sandwich of mortadella and cheese on buttered French bread
- Trancapecho, added August 30th, which is the Bolivian rice-and-fried-things dish Silpancho wrapped up in bread.
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.
