Thank you for this succinct and amusing summary, which was likely far more fun to read than the actual linked listicle :pray:t2: :smile:

Thank you for this summation. I have now seen the evidence of the train wreck without having to witness it for myself. She seems to lack consistency in her opinions. I’ll give her some grace and assume she was high. OTOH, if she was high, I’m sure the list would have a different order.

And a great Italian sub has mandolin sliced lettuce (almost like alfalfa sprouts in texture) which absorbs and holds on to the vinaigrette.

We had a Mom & Pop Italian deli in Miramar just down the street from work. Man… I miss their sandwiches.

Oh, I don’t know about that. Somebody I know once made a cracker sandwich while high. I don’t remember if they were saltines or Ritz, but the sandwich exacerbated the drymouth.

When you’re high, anything can be made into a sammich. I actually don’t mind getting inventive/semi-elaborate sometimes. Worth the effort to me :slight_smile:

Someone gave me some canned chicken once because they bought a multi pack and didn’t like it. I had one and gave the rest to the food bank. Someone somewhere must like it!

One hot dog is definitely a panini.

Not a panino.

But you do have to put it in sandwich press.

I love your comment Amandarama. I grew up in North Carolina and never heard of the Fluffernutter until I came to college in Boston. Decades later, I am still confused and sometimes call it the NuttyFluffy. I have never eaten this sandwich.

Adding one thing: Fluff was invented in Somerville, Massachusetts. The inventor sold the recipe to the guys who started manufacturing it in Lynn, Massachusetts.
I live in Somerville near Union Square, where the “What the Fluff” festival is held each year.

From the link you provided:

"The origins of Marshmallow Fluff actually go back to 1917. Before WWI, a Somerville MA man named Archibald Query had been making it in his kitchen and selling it door to door, but wartime shortages had forced him to close down. By the time the war was over, Mr Query had other work and was uninterested in restarting his business, but he was willing to sell the formula. Durkee and Mower pooled their saving and bought it for five hundred dollars. "

Thank you for clarifying the origins of Fluff! We had it in the house when I was a kid, but mostly my mom used it to make fudge. I could never get into the sandwich as a kid. I found it way to sweet and I am just not a marshmallow person!

Oh, she would have been savaged if they had a comment section! Like savaged in the vein of the Food Network discussion forum for Semi-homemade with Sandra Lee back in the day! Ooof!
