Your Favorite Sandwiches?

[carter]

You're but the second person I've known to like that sandwich. The first is my mother.

My hat's off to your mother. She must be a lady of impeccable taste.

For one brief shining moment this spring, the bakery next door to the theatre was selling Monte Cristos, and I was in there every day my budget would permit. And then one day they were gone -- I pleaded for an explanation and they basically told me I was the only one eating them. Drat the laws of economics, anyway.

Ask them about peanut butter and mayo. Maybe it'll shock them into reviving the Monte Cristo.

Schwartz's smoked-meat sandwich.

Doran, I'll have one. Please hold the onions and may I substitute lebanon balogna? mmmmmm........

And were I to have not just eaten, I'd join you guys, but kill the tomatoes and onions and heap on the salami.

Better yet, use one particular hard salami the local German deli imports...:essen:

Oooh, lebanon balogna! Now you're talkin'!

 

[carter]

and that would be...?

 

[Dr Doran]

What is lebanon balogna please? I trust it bears no similarity to Oscar Meyer "baloney" which is the vile precut smelly sweaty pink fake stuff.

Forgive the Wikipedia reliance, but:

"Lebanon bologna is a type of semi-dry sausage similar in appearance and texture to salami, although it is somewhat darker colored. Made from salted beef, it has a distinctive smoky taste, owing to the smoking process by which it is cured. It is additionally aged for at least 10 days, which generally overlaps with the smoking. Originating with the Pennsylvania Dutch, it is commonly available in south-central Pennsylvania, where it is often served as a luncheon meat. It was probably named for the Lebanon Valley of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, wherein it is commonly produced."

Carter, I'll have to check next time I'm in there. I know they consider American-made Schaller & Weber up to their standards, but I think my usual comes over from the Old Country...

 

[Dr Doran]

Thanks DB.

That durned wikipedia ... every single thing you can imagine.

Almost.

I'll look for some lebanon balogna in "Cali."

They sell it at DiLaurenti's at Pike Place Market. Well worth the trip down there. Extra yummy on dark rye with Jarlsberg cheese. Mmmmm.

I mighta mentioned more, but to pinpoint someplace I frequent places the obscurity of my "secured location" at risk...

Humor me, I'm paranoid. lol

Think some of the base commissaries have Lebanon bologna, too...

DB, It never occured to me to look this up. Verrry interesting. I was pretty certain it wasn't made in Lebanon (the nation) but did not know the origin. I'd love to sample some from the source but VA is the closest I'll be this year.

BD, Sounds delicious! Cream Soda anyone? BTW, anyone here ever had an egg creme? Or been to Lou and Hy's in Akron, OH? Now there's a DELI.

D, If you don't find it at a grocery, try a good butcher shop.

I can't find it in grocery in Dallas anymore but Kuby's, a high-end meat purveyor on Snyder Plaza in University Park carries it. They also carry landjager which are thin sausages all linked together (because they're packed in.....). These are great for travelling or backpacking, etc.

Let's post some photos if anyone has some.

Do we need to start yet another thread in homage to Lebanon Balogna? Naaaa.....

I've also seen it at the cheesemonger's shop in Leavenworth.
