It's Ridiculous
.
This sandwich, I mean. It's kind of ridiculous. We were sitting around the dining table one night, at dinner, & I had this idea for a sandwich. (What? You don't discuss food while eating food with your family?) I knew I wanted something along the lines of a Primanti Brothers sandwich, but a little different.
A mayo-smeared roll topped with French fries, slices of fried chicken, prosciutto, avocado, shredded lettuce & tomato.
What a mess. What a delicious mess.
It wasn't exactly right: a spicy mayo or even spiced fries would improve things. And mashing the avocado would help structural integrity.
But it was good. (Alex & I, of course, had a similar sandwich using faux chicken & bacon).
Good, & let's face it: ridiculous.

6 Thoughts for food:
As a recent (and reluctant) vegetarian, what do you recommend for faux chicken? CUZ I IWANTZ THAT IN MAH BELLAH!
Doesn't sound ridiculous to me! Sounds inspired!
Sounds delicious! And we talk about food lots round the dinner table. :)
Charles - Hey, sorry it's taken me this long to get back to you. I am such an absentee blogger these days.
I think I've tried just about every kind of veg chicken out there.
Lightlife does decent 'chicken' strips; you can usually find them in the cooler (not freezer) section of the store (near things like tofu, yogurt, etc).
As much as I enjoy the majority of Morningstar Farms' products, I'm not crazy about their version. The patties, nuggets & wings? Fantastic. The strips lack...something.
Earth Fare has what is, in my opinion, the best faux chicken around. They sell it in 2-3" flattish nuggets. I use it for everything: from fried chicken to soup, stir fry to banh mi. I'm guessing you don't have EF's in Eastern PA? They get it from this company (http://www.delightsoy.com/product.php); maybe you can track down a local source for it. Hope that helps!
ladygoat; Ha---thanks!!

We think about you & Tom often; one day we'll actually get around to writing an email or even gasp! a letter to you!
