January List sandwiches and December wrapup
As anticipated, the holidays took a toll on our productivity at the Tribunal, and despite having an excellent first post by a new contributor (thanks Mary!!), we underachieved a bit, putting together only 5 posts total for The List. December is a busy time for everybody, and I get it. No worries.
Looks like January will give us a chance to catch up though, with 2 very similar, easy sandwiches to write about, and a third that is basically a cultural joke in England.
We’ve covered a lot of this territory before (brown sauce! the horror!), but I imagine there are still nooks and crannies left to probe. So let me know if one or more of these topics interests you enough to contribute a post in January. As usual, I will try to cover all three, but I only really have one solid idea at the moment, so please comment and let me know what you’d like to write about and when you think you can get to it.
On a personal note, thanks to all of you who have contributed to the Tribunal, and thanks to those of you readers out there following along on our quest as well. I hope everybody has a terrific new year, and I see great things ahead for the site in 2015!
The idea behind this site is to explore the nature of sandwichness by eating every sandwich on the Official en.wikipedia.org List of Sandwiches and then to post here about it, preferably with lots of pictures and also words. Sandwich words.
I love this blog, even if I don’t always have time to write a post. Let’s keep it up in 2015!
OK I managed to come up with a second decent idea, I don’t know if it’s as solid as the first but I’m running with it. Basically this one will be a log of every breakfast sandwich I eat during January, so obviously I’ll have to wait to post it until the 31st.
My other idea is to interview some British friends about the concept of the British Rail sandwich, since it’s not part of my own cultural background. Also I found an image from a museum of British Rail’s guidelines for making sandwiches so maybe I’ll make one, wrap it in plastic, then wait a few days to eat it? I don’t know, anybody got a good idea for this one?
As for the Breakfast Roll, I guess I’ll just do my typical try to figure out what the hell it is and then make a really good one approach.
I actually lived mostly on British Rail-type sandwiches while in London. Bought them all in a gas station, technically, but that was at least one and usually two a day for about 3 weeks. I could write a little bit of a love letter to them, but a) well, I never actually post. I AM going to try, but…yeah. And b) both your ideas are fundamentally more interesting, Jim.
It is my goal to write a post a month for all of 2015, even if some of them are shorter. Here’s to trying!
I know you’re about to hit your crazy busy season. Hopefully you can destress with a sandwich occasionally and let us know about it! 🙂
