Back?

Following a hiatus in which I was mad busy, I feel compelled to make time for sandwich blogging. Young upstarts are coming with better, more relevant reviews, and I need to step up my game.

Eventually. For now, I'll content myself with posting old, unfinished content with a bit of polish to make it presentable.

To bring you up to date, since my post lamenting my iPad envy, I've somehow acquired one myself. Now I too have the Amazing Sandwiches app. Is it as amazing as its title suggests? Maybe. You'll have to wait for my exclusive (doubtful) review to find out!

That review is coming ... now. It's not that amazing. But it's full of pretty sandwich pics. To their credit, they do run an amazing blog, and having an iPad app is more a feather in their cap than a practical offering for sandy eaters to use.

Frankly, I'm too busy playing Osmos and managing my fantasy football team and T-Paining songs to be bothered. Yes, I'm in a sandwich malaise, but I can't complain.

One current thing to comment on: tonight's Simpsons featured Flight of the Conchords and made me smile on many levels. It's special to see childhood and currentish comedy loves combined. Of greater note to this blog, Bret and Jemaine's day jobs in the episode were as Sandwich Artists. I've long been fascinated with the doings of Subway's Sandwich Artists, so this was a nice moment for me.

Yes this is a sluggish blog. But I did, to my credit, upload a header image. It's still a placeholder mind you, but at least it's a sandwich. And now, here comes the months-old content!

Hi, I'm Anders from AmazingSandwiches.com, and I'm sad to say it looks like I just broke the iPad App (Sorry everyone). It was a wordpress feed that got...mangled... So until we're back up and running, you won't see any new sandwiches on the iPad app, or, indeed, be able to run it after downloading it (Which is why we took it off iTunes for now). Sorry again, we screwed up.

Hi, Anders. Don't you worry about it. Although this is disappointing news, frankly, I'm still impressed you have an iPad app to begin with. I'm sure sandwich fans can wait until it's back.

I just tested it and it does still display one amazing sandwich on the title screen, so it's not a total loss.

Keep up the good work and we look forward to the return of the app!

Thanks Alex, we'll fix it, but maybe update the app at the same time... Bummer still, and totally my own fault :(

Still, thanks for noticing it :)

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...

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.
