What’s On the Sandwich Named After You at the Local Deli?

1 Comment

Following a prompt from Joanna at Cup of Jo… The local deli or sandwich shop names a sandwich after you. What would be on it? Perhaps another way of asking the question: what’s your favorite sandwich that’s a little bit unusual?

I love a classic BLT, banh mi, or jambon beurre, but a sandwich that is fairly unique to me is tuna salad (made with pickles, pickle juice, and scallions), havarti, lettuce, and tomatoes on good white bread or a kaiser roll. I think that would be The Kottke at the local deli. Either that or something chopped?

Liverwurst on toasted rye with Mendocino mustard, smoked cheddar, and all the fixings.

I hardly eat it anymore but it would have to be the PBJ with cream cheese.

I subscribe to Katherine Anne Edwards' argument that UBI does not solve any problems in our economy. Changes to our social safety net starting with unemployment insurance achieve the same goal with healthier outcomes.

This sounds like an interesting podcast series from M. Gessen: The Idiot. “Compassion has its limits when it comes to your own cousin.”

It is interesting but more in a lurid, gossipy sense than a global, informative sense.

Thanks for the review. It definitely seemed like, uh, gossip-bait based on the intro paragraph. I'm sure there's an interesting story there, but I've got my own cousins in Moscow, whose lives are interesting enough without being... lurid.

I was expecting Vivaldi to start playing when I selected "Spring" (or Edvard Grieg's "Morning" and was surprised nothing seemed to happen

I just bought a Miata and have driven a motorcycle and a bike in traffic. I got hit by an SUV while riding a bike even. Not sure I get the big vehicle argument.

I was rear ended at a red light by a dump truck that had previously stopped behind my Miata but then forgot it was there and thought it should creep forward toward the intersection...where my car was. It apparently could not see my car directly in front of it.
