A sorta modified rhueben sandwich for Mutz, Brian LOL A real one is a fantastic sandwich! I get request to make them and make them by the cookie sheet full LOL Big fat huge stuffed ones There's more to it than what i told Mutz tho, cut it down to easy manage for him Hehe
I have not even tried a reuben sandwich yet. We have possibly the best ever sandwich shop here in town and they sell em, but I cant get past the Cubano. Thats pretty much all I eat.
When stationed at Eielson A.F.B. in Alaska, we snowplow operators worked 12 hour shifts. During these 12 hour shifts, we were allowed to purchase in-flight boxed lunches for $2.30 each. In the boxes, each one was a surprize. You'd pay up when you were tracked down on the airfield.
Inside the box lunches were twinkie, suzyQ, moonpie, a fruit (apple, orange or bannanna) a small carton of mile, and a sandwich (pickle loaf, ham, or bologna).
One night, after receiving delivery of my box lunch, I pulled onto the side of the taxiway, opened my lunch, grabbed the mustard packet and was going to spread it onto my bologna sandwich, when I took the top piece of bread off, I noticed that my bologna was GREEN. EEEEEEeeeeeeewwwwwww! I exclaimed! And, out the window into the snow the sandwich went.
This was not an isolated incident either. Many more boxed lunches contained everything from spoiled milk to black bannannas.
After many of us airmen having these bad experiences, the sales of boxed lunches plummeted from the in-flight kitchen.
Eventually, the boxed lunches were now know as, Box Nasties. True stroy.
Since it hasn't been mentioned here yet, I thought I would just mention that Corned beef and Cabbage was simply a cheap feast in 19th century New York City. Nothing particularly Irish about it except that it was enjoyed by Irish immigrants in that city on feast days.
Its been mentioned. Not in this thread but it has. I have never met an Irish person (back home in Ireland) that actually ate corned beef with a dinner meal like you guys do on St Paddys Day.
