A Different Blog's Best Sandwiches of 2008

Yumsugar did their top sandwiches of the year and there are some good looking sandwiches on that list, like the Honey-Basil Grilled Cheese seen here.

I would do our Top 10 sandwiches, but I could not say with certainty that we have 10 total posts.

Happy New Year!

You guys, things are changing you can't stop them

The Portland Mercury blog has tipped me off to some important new sandwich language; specifically: calling a sandwich a "sando". Now, listen. I know how you guys are. And for once, I don't want to get into a long thing about the shifting nature of language vs. the righteous strength of linguistic prescriptivism. All I'm saying is, I think calling a sandwich a sando is a pretty good idea.

Here's their post post about sandos, including a photo of some spaghetti sandos.

Sandwich Assault

Breaking News Headline: Man nabbed after hitting girlfriend with sandwich

Not cool, unidentified man from Port St. Lucia, Fla. Sandwiches are for eating. And for taking pictures of and posting blogs about. That's it. (And for making ranking lists of, but that's it.)

"Police said the 19-year-old man became angry and hit the woman in the arm and face with a sandwich, knocking her glasses off."

Well, if she was wearing glasses it was sort of her fault for being a nerd.

"Police haven't said what type of sandwich was involved."

Oh, COME ON.

Freedom Sandwich

I managed to give the border patrol the slip and get back in the USA, so to celebrate I had a sandwich from Larchmont Wine & Cheese. It's the #3: Soppressata, Manchego cheese, mixed greens, sun-dried tomato spread, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. This is the best sandwich.  

Victory Sandwich #1

This is the first in a series of Sandwich Blog recession sandwiches, renamed "Victory Sandwiches" to keep your spirits up.

This also happens to be one of my favorite sandwiches: Peanut Butter & Banana. I added a little cinnamon and put it all on toasted wheat and let it heat up in the broiler. I used my grocery store's generic brand peanut butter ($1.50); the banana was 17¢ and I only used half of it so I still have 8.5¢ worth of banana to invest in high interest mortgages or whatever. Call me, Wall Street. We'll talk.

(As you can see, I also ate some apples with more peanut butter, because whatever, I'll throw my money around into all kinds of produce to use as vehicles for peanut butter, I don't even care.)

Sandwich Economy

Will Sandwich Blog be able to weather the faltering economy? Our advertising revenue has been reduced to zero dollars! (From a quarterly high of zero dollars.)

Nechita has it easy up in Canada. He can continue eating his solid gold sandwiches dipped in diamond au jus, but what about the rest of us? Are sandwiches really a recession-proof industry? What about all the money I have invested in various spreads and toppings? What is the bottom line here?!

Sandwich News of the World

Iran made the world's longest sandwich, but then a bunch of hungry Iranians panicked and ate it before it could be measured for the Guinness Book of Records. It was 5000 feet long, and made with 1500 lbs of chicken and ostrich meat.

Does anyone know if Blogger has a way to insert the sad trumpet sound into a post?
