It was soft, it tasted like cheese, the mouthfeel was cheeselike, it had the sharpness of cheddar punctuated by the savory Coney sauce and the pungent bites of pickle, onion, and mustard. It shouldn’t have worked but it did.
The reddish fat from the lamb combines with the tomato’s and onion’s juices to create a natural sauce rendering any additional condimentation redundant.

I like a lot of other things too but sandwiches are pretty great
Crit (27)I'm a mother of two boys. I work selling organic produce to gullible locals, and in my spare time I run as far as I can. Oh, and I live in Australia, married to a US citizen.
Drew (14)I'm a transgender weirdo who loves music, books, comics, and all kinds of other geeky crap. I edit an arts/music/culture magazine in my hometown of Richmond VA (rvamag.com). But let's not talk about my day job. Let's talk about food. I love food.
Brian (7)I'm a tax guy and technical writer living in the city known to its locals as The Big 'Ago. I self-identify as a fighter against culinary dogma, a sandwich lover, and an overly-earnest hot dog enthusiast.
juliachildish (4)No denying it, I like the sensual things of the world, especially good food and drink, though I'm no snob when it comes to either.

Thom (1)I'm a seafood-obsessed environmental scientist from North Carolina currently enduring the pain of living in a landlocked state. I spend most of my free time thinking about baseball, history, Shaw Bros. movies and weird synthesizer music.
