Excuses and a diversion into sport

I’ve been so busy this week that I haven’t eaten any sandies. That should tell you something considering the Sandy Council’s 1986 ad campaign touting “Sandies: Nature’s Fastest Food ©.”

Instead, I have been eating pork chops, pretzels with hummus and American cheese singles. This diet ensures both authenticity as I live the Bachelor Lifestyle and sufficient intake of the three building blocks of food: fat, carbohydrate and protein — when supplemented with vitamins, these will keep you nourished, technically. Note: chewable children’s vitamins, while delicious, have been found, by me, not to suffice, unless you also eat vegetables besides onions and potatoes. Over the four years I experimented with the Flinstonesque Zippy Zoo vitamins, I contracted scurvy, yellow fever, the Black Death©, rickets and several other diseases with funny names. If Zippy Zoo vitamins were a sandwich, they would receive 4.5 sandies for taste and 2 sandies for nutritional value.

During what downtime I’ve had, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. Mostly, I’ve been thinking about the Great Debate: which niche sport is better, Sandwich Soccer or Slamball? Despite my obvious preference for Sandwich Soccer, I’ve finally given the nod to Slamball. I won’t go into my extensive reasoning; basically, Slamball is just too extreme not to love. If you don’t believe me, watch this (that’s not me, but I can see why you would think that given his spaziness and dangerously long legs).

All this talk about Sand witches has made me want to eat the second half of the "Godfather." So I will do that now.

Heinz Almost Got There With Mayochup

Heinz has declared, "It's finally here!" with their release of Mayochup — a ketchup-mayonnaise hybrid. Don't pretend this is what we've all been waiting for, Heinz. So-called mayochup has already existed as fry sauce, special sauce or any other number of existing tan, barely tangy condiments. As all sandwich heads know, the only condiment we're waiting for is Mustmayostarayonnaise . I remain disappointed that our nation's corporations haven't caught on to what Mr. Show called for 21 (!) years ago.

Review: Pepperhouse Gourmaise

Being that Big Condiment still seems to think Mustardayonnaise  is a joke, I've been forced to seek out a suitable alternative. This search led me to Boar's Head's " Pepperhouse Gourmaise " spread. According to Boar's Head, Pepperhouse Gourmaise is "real mayonnaise with a touch of Boar's Head Deli Mustard and a house blend of black, white, pink and green peppercorns." They also claim that it goes well with poultry, beef and pork. What a pepperhouse might look like if it were a thing ( photo by Justin Sachtleben ) I can confirm that it goes well with poultry and pork (or at least ham — I haven't tried it with any other pig-meats). And the quality of the ingredients seems to live up to Boars Head's high standards. As a black pepper kind of guy, I'm impressed by their fancy pink peppercorns. Still, I can't say I'm satisfied with B.H.P.G. Its color is off-putting and the peppercorns hurt my teeth. And while it's deci...
