I recently watched the very good documentary The Search for General Tso, nominally about the origins of that popular Chinese-American dish (and where it turns out to have been created comes as a bit...
You may in fact be getting bored of me talking about how great South American sandwiches are. I advise that you keep that to yourself for a moment. You might learn something. Choripán as a...
Welp, it finally happened. A month in which I was the only person who wrote about any of the sandwiches on the List. I get it, it was June, there were better things to...
So far on the Tribunal we’ve covered sandwiches from Europe and Asia, from North America and Australia, but the South American sandwiches I’ve tried have tended to be the most interesting.1 The Chilean sandwiches...
I grew up eating creamed chipped beef on toast. It’s something my Mom ate as a kid, and a recipe she took with her to adulthood, something cheap and easy to feed a family....
NEVER TELL ME THE ah you’re probably right. We’ve had a rough go of it with British sandwiches here at the Tribunal. From back bacon to British Rail, from breakfast rolls to Branston Pickle–there’s...
I think a lot of kids have a mild form of brumotactillophobia–an aversion to different foods touching each other. I also don’t think this is a really traumatic phobia, just a mildly compulsive behavior...
I’m pretty sure I saw chili burgers alongside such other delicacies as pizza burgers on the cafeteria menus of my youth, but apparently Los Angeles feels like it needs a street food to call its...
I grew up eating Chick-Fil-A, and always loved it. The fact that they were religious enough to refuse to open on Sunday didn’t ever bother me, even though I knew it probably went along...
I’ve been hammered really hard by a cold for over a week. When I’m sick, I like to eat a lot of garlic in the simplest way possible. So when I finally woke...
Jim Behymer (377)I like sandwiches.
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. A background in American cultural history and food studies makes me approach the world with a desire for contextualization and connection on the way to synthesis.
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.
Marinus (1)A South African now living in Australia, after 12 years in New Zealand and 4 in Ireland. Has worked as an academic researcher for the past decade, which is only slightly less time than it took him to fulfil his promise of writing an entry for the blog.
