Haiku

This is the by-product of a long subway ride with nothing interesting to read.

"Double down or hit me?"
When meat supplants bread
And sandies' order's denied
Is anyone safe?

"What would Plato eat?"
Sandwich perfection
Which is better: less or more?
Consider Katz's

"Tomato sandwich"
Minimalism
Seasonal fruits sliced, piled high
Let their taste shine through

"Banh mi"
Radishes that mock
Our lunch monoculture
Ban me from turkey

"Free break room sandwich"
Where did it come from?
Sandwich wizards suspected
Thanks, mundane Merlin!

"Mayo vs. mustard"
Creamy or spicy?
Dijon, stone ground reign, but still
Not an easy choice

Review: Pepperhouse Gourmaise

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...

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.
