What won’t those lovable Canadian lugs do with gravy? Of course poutine, that Canadian cousin to other calorie-packed drunken foods like chili-cheese fries or a garbage plate, is quite well known these days. Less well known–though...
So I went to a small folk festival last weekend, in my capacity as a Morris Dancer. I prepared well, camping next to an Irishman with a full kitchen. I’d brought the bacon. First...
It’s election season, and with Election Day approaching, the Internet is full of speculation over how Tuesday is going to go down. The odds makers, poll takers, and polling place leg breakers are all...
I’m not one to brag. Not usually. Certainly not all the time. Sometimes, though, I exceed even my own high expectations and, as an internationally-recognized sandwich expert, I have to acknowledge my own greatness...
Wikipedia’s list of sandwiches says this about the schnitzel sandwich, “A sandwich of crumbed, pan-fried chicken fillet, on buttered bread, with shredded iceberg lettuce and mayonnaise” marking it as Australian. Perhaps I’m un-Australian then, because...
Carrozza, short for Mozzarella in Carrozza, is a type of pan fried cheese sandwich. At first glance, it appears to be nothing more than a slightly-less-healthy take on the grilled cheese. But, as I...
Because I live in Australia, I didn’t eat this sourdough toast with butter, honey and a thick layer of hemp seeds. I only put it on my skin. But I can tell you...
Here, elections are held on a Saturday, and polling places are often local schools. The P&C committees see the arrival of community members on the school grounds as a perfect opportunity for fundraising. With...
According to the Wikipedia List of Sandwiches (all hail), the Beirute is “Melted cheese, sliced fresh tomatoes, lettuce leaves, sliced ham on Arab bread” and gives the origin as Brazil. That’s not much to...

Jim Behymer (403)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.
