Title: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: ShyGuy on February 15, 2009, 01:20:08 AM
Recently I finished a project (redecorating my apartment) and wanted to start something new. I decided to make extreme sandwiches. Below is my first attempt. Anyone else ever make one?
It is an Italian sausage sandwich that cost about $25 to make and weighed about 4 pounds when completed. It's not as big or "extreme" as some sandwiches I have seen online, but it was my first prototype.
The ingredients were: - 1 loaf of garlic bread (3/4 cup of melted butter, tablespoon of olive oil and Emeril's Garlic Parmesan Essence) - 15oz marinara sauce - 4 Italian sausages about 3.5 oz each - 2 cloves of garlic, caramelized - half a yellow onion, caramelized - about half a cup grated Parmesan - about 30 slices of pepperoni - 8oz of fresh mozzarella - spicy Italian herb seasoning

It'll cost you considerably more than the $25 you spent on your first sandwich.

Oh man, I'd love to take on that challenge, that sandwich looks to transcend delicious. Now I wish I'd had breakfast already because seeing that just made me really hungry.

Dude where do you buy your groceries that it cost $25 to make that sandwhich? The Ovoline mozz (it's not really "fresh" unless you make it yourself) is usually pretty expensive, so I imagine a good chunk of the budget came from that. If you want really good Ovoline, get Grande. Grande makes the best mozzarella in that you can buy in the US.

I don't know if it was "Italian certified" fresh but it was sealed in liquid and cost about $5-$6 if I recall. I bought all my ingredients at Fred Meyer.

Culinary Bump!
I made another sandwich today, Spicy Turkey Bacon. Cost about $25 to make and weighed slightly more than the last sandwich. Pictures didn't turn out as well, I seem to have developed bloom lighting in my kitchen.
The ingredients were: - 1 loaf of french bread, buttered and toasted in the oven. - 3/4 cup of mayonnaise with tabasco sauce mixed in. - 1 pound of smoked turkey breast, slightly fried in bacon grease. - 14 thick strips of bacon (sorry Stogi) - 1 green pepper sliced and seared briefly in a pan - 1 red pepper sliced and seared briefly in a pan - freshly ground chipotle chili seasoning - freshly ground black pepper - 8 slices of Pepper Jack cheese.

Same for me with the hunger and the time. I think the only options are McDonalds, Burger King and Jack In the Box. No sandwich places either. I think Taco Bell closed about half an hour ago too. There is a pizza place here in Portland open till 4AM but I think that's only on Friday and Saturday. They are called Hammy's. I've never eaten their food because they are out of my delivery area.
I think I'm going to shop for sandwich stuff tomorrow.
Nice sandwich ShyGuy
*EDIT* I Googled them and found their site. They closed for carryout at 2:30, AHH!!!

Still dude, 14 slices of bacon, while delicious, is like disarming a bomb, blindfolded...you also have, I believe, 18 servings of mayonnaise. Thank you for the correct spelling of chipotle, people call it "chi-pole-tay" all the time, it drives me insane. Also, mail me a piece of the sandwich.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: ShyGuy on March 09, 2009, 03:15:15 PM
The mayonnaise could be replaced with a healthy alternative, I'm open to suggestions. The bacon is high grade so it has a lower fat content than your average bacon. Although if you get too healthy it defeats the purpose of an extreme sandwich. :0

You can just use olive oil instead of mayo, or even light mayonnaise. I use bacon grease, or occasionally pancetta grease at work a lot. It's the most delicious thing ever made...but I'm trying to stray away from eating stuff like that.

Hmm olive oil may work... I am already forumulating ideas for my third sandwich. Roast beef would be classic, but I don't know of a butcher or deli around here that carries decent roast beef. It's all roast beef loaf. I may have to make my own roast. Sandwich with horseradish perhaps?
On the other hand, Perm talking about mexican makes me want to do something with Chicken Mole.
I also need to do a Teriyaki chicken one. Need to learn how to charbroil chicken for that though...

I feel the need. The need for sandwiches.
My Barbecue Sirloin Sandwich
My third sandwich and the first one that I made with the help of my charcoal grill. Again, the ingredients worked out to about $25 and it weighed about 4.5 pounds.
The ingredients: - 1 loaf of italian bread, buttered and broiled. - 10 ounces of Stubbs Spicy Barbecue sauce - 2 twelve ounce sirloin steaks, marinated in Stubbs Spicy BBQ, grilled to medium rare over charcoal, and then sliced diagonally. - 1 yellow onion’s worth of home made onion rings - 4 slices of Kansas City bacon - 6 slices of provolone cheese
I decided to make a blog dedicated to my sandwiches. I still plan on posting every sandwich I make in this thread, but they can also be found at http://www.extreme-sandwiches.com/ plus extra stuff.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: Mop it up on May 26, 2009, 01:55:31 AM
That is really something, I've always liked onion rings on a sandwich. If I made that I'd add a few veggies to that to give it some crisp and soak up some of that sauce and grease.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: ShyGuy on May 26, 2009, 02:11:50 AM
what vegetables do you suggest?
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: Mop it up on May 26, 2009, 04:21:29 AM
Just the usual. Definitely some iceberg lettuce, or romaine if you fancy something more luxurious. Put it on top of the cheese so that it will be in the middle of the sandwich and absorb its juices when you squeeze it. Cut up a tomato into thin slices and place them underneath the cheese; this will help keep them from sliding out of the sandwich when you bite into it. This sandwich looks like it has a lot of flavour so some pickle slices would probably be another good thing to add since they have a strong flavour too. I'd put them directly on top of the meat, I feel that's always the best place to put pickles on a sandwich.
I couldn't know for sure without actually trying it, but by the looks of it those three things could compliment this sandwich nicely. However, if you're going to be eating this over the course of a week or so, lettuce might not be a good idea. It would probably get really soggy from the grease and may even turn brown.

I do section the sandwiches into 4-6 slices. they are very tall though. But I have a big mouth so it's still doable.

I needed a Red Lobster bib for my latest sandwich, it was messy. It was the Five Layer Peanut Butter Sandwich
Layer 1: Grilled with Adams natural Peanut butter, banana and honey. My aunt Connie called these Pooh Bears. Some people call them an Elvis or at least a variation of The Elvis.
Layer 2: Fluffernutter. Jif peanut butter and Marshmallow whip. This was my first Fluffernutter.
Layer 3: Classic Jif peanut butter and grape jelly.
Layer 4: Nutella and Skippy crunchy peanut butter
Layer 5: Cream cheese and Strawberry Jam on grilled bread

Actually it wasn't too much bread, the fillings were very abundant and sweet and the bread offered some contrast. A friend of mine called this a desert sandwich, I think that fits.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 09, 2009, 12:23:31 AM
Nutella is the worst stuff ever.
I make myself this sandwich...err wrap at work a lot, I basically ripped it off from some restaurant I ate in Long Boat Key (near Sarasota). Flour tortilla, steamed so it rolls nicely, filled with grilled chicken (usually with just salt and pepper, oregano and thyme), thin sliced tomato, ovoilne ("fresh") mozzarella, prosciutto, red onion, and some pesto (homemade) aioli. It's quite tasty.

Here it is, my Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich. You naysayers will be happy to know this is a healthier sandwich, very little fat except for the cheese.
- 1 loaf of sourdough bread, toasted on the barbecue grill - Four large boneless skinless chicken breasts, marinated in home made honey mustard for about two days then grilled - More honey mustard dressing - Six slices of Swiss cheese - Several leaves of Romaine lettuce (better than iceberg) - 1 thin sliced Fuji apple
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 14, 2009, 09:42:45 PM
I've got to admit I was thrown off by the apples for a second, but it actually makes sense. Did you use whole grain mustard? That **** is great, you can use it so many different ways. I use it to make a whole grain mustard and balsamic vinaigrette at work sometimes. Nice work with the sourdough too, that's a good looking sandwich.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: Mop it up on June 14, 2009, 10:17:49 PM
It may be lessor in fat but I have my doubts I could eat any of that and remain under my daily calorie count.
I've never heard of putting apples on a sandwich but I'd be willing to give it a try. Where did you get the inspiration for that?
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: Caliban on June 14, 2009, 11:25:32 PM
What a lovely sandwich you have done ShyGuy. I would never dare to put apple in my sandwich.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: ShyGuy on June 15, 2009, 01:55:13 AM
Apples are extreme! They came to me in a fever dream, whilst I was hiding from the League of Assassins in a Shanghai opium den.
I didn't use whole grain mustard, I may try that next time. The recipe for honey mustard is simple though: dijon mustard, honey, and vinegar.
What is your daily calorie count Moppet-Up? You've got sourdough bread which has lactic acid (good for blood sugar), Grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts, which have very little fat, zero fat in the home made honey mustard sauce, Romaine lettuce which is very low calorie and unlike iceberg lettuce has nutrients, and a fuji apple.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: UncleBob on June 15, 2009, 02:08:40 AM
Your PB&J reminded me of something I used to make at work that I dubbed "poor man's waffles". I'd take 3-4 slices of bread, put peanut butter on 'em, stack 'em up, then pour maple syrup on 'em.
That was tasty.
Marshmellow creme and peanut butter? Sounds tasty!

I shouldn't answer that because you didn't get my name right... but I shoot for not exceeding 1,500 (this doesn't work out as often as I'd like it too...). Though I guess the sandwich isn't as bad as it looks at first glance. How many carbs are in that bread? And you left out the cheese in that description, how fattening is that? Those two things would be what determined how much I could have without cutting back on another meal that day. Probably less than what you had but more than a bite like my first impression.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: ShyGuy on June 15, 2009, 03:03:18 AM
Hmm according to what I dug up on the net, it has 15g of carbs per slice. Keep in mind that sourdough, like whole grain bread, has complex carbohydrates, not just refined sugars. This means your body absorbs the sugar more slowly. The cheese is the only major source of fat on the sandwich, at 6g per slice.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 15, 2009, 02:48:40 PM
As long as it's real cheese though, it's not bad fat. The fat is coming from milk. American cheese (singles) and crap like that is terrible, but actual real cheese (in moderation) is good to eat. All those nutrients in the Romaine and the bread won't get absorbed into your body without some healthy fats.

ShyGuy, you need to open up a sandwich shop, omnomnom. Four things:
1) I like the purity you have going on with your BBQ Sirloin sandwich, don't mess with it. 2) Nutella is delicious, though Euro Nutella is different (aka better) than American. Not sure about Aussie Nutella... 3) Apples... unexpected, but excellent. 4) I think you should find a way to use asparagus in a future sandwich. :D
Oh, and if you need a recipe for the asparagus, I've got you covered. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQHq0Yv2Jig) ;)

You're the third person to suggest a fish sandwich. I'm thinking coconut battered. What to use as toppings though?
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 17, 2009, 01:42:06 AM
It's kind of predictable with fish, but you could make a mango salsa. The hardest part is getting ripe mangoes. At work today I made cumin pan seared fish (choice of salmon or tuna) topped with salsa verde (home made, but not by me), with shrimp, cheddar, red & yellow pepper & scallion quesadillas, with some chipotle sour cream. Feel free to use any of that for inspiration.

That's too bad. It was the unofficial place to go for my friends and I in High School. Lots of good stuff there. Though I advise bringing coupons. It can get pretty pricey without them. 5 for $5 Melts is an awesome deal.

Nice job on sizing the patties - I hate it when someone cooks burgers, and shapes the patties to the size of the bun, before cooking. Then they throw it on the grill and burn the **** out of it, and it's like a piece of charcoal that takes up a small part of the center of the bun. Always make them about a half inch wider than the bun, all around, nice and thick too, and make that **** medium rare - medium at the most! Anything more than that and you're defeating the purpose of eating beef. Also, get lean beef. It tastes better, is better for you, is less likely to give you cancer after many years of grilling (the smoke you inhale from fat burning on charcoal, etc. is a carcinogen), and it doesn't shrink as much as regular beef.

A certain amount of fat is necessary for a burger to taste like a burger. Also if you are cooking on a grill, the lean burger has a tendency to fall apart and drop in the fire.

I find that average lean beef doesn't fall apart all that much while getting the uber-extra lean stuff always falls apart on me.

I didn't know burning fat was a carcinogen. Working graveyard shifts is also listed as a carcinogen. Sucks for me :/
Has anyone used ground turkey to make burgers? I've used it to make meat sauces and taco meat, but have yet to try it as a burger. Ground turkey is healthier than beef and I prefer the taste of it.

I buy 93/7 lean beef, it never falls apart, and it tastes better than any higher-fat burger I've ever eaten. I have a relatively new grill, with ceramic racks. I spray the racks with pan coating before I throw the burgers on, too.

I go to a local butcher that deals with local farmers and though I have been there so many times and bought plenty of ground beef, I've never cared to look at the fat content...I should do that next time.
I find it's best to make a spice puree that you mix into the ground beef; like taking onions garlic ginger worchestershire and oil and throwing that in a blender. Not only does the ground beef become "softer", it allows all the spices to be equally mixed (so you don't bite into a piece of garlic).
But hands down the best burgers are stuffed burgers. You should make it sometime, although I would recommend you use a pan instead of the grill.
And turkey burgers are delicious.

Bacon Chili Cheese Quesadilla Burger
(http://i31.tinypic.com/o0eba0.jpg)
Not really extreme, but damn was it delicious.
Bacon crumbled into some Chili w/ beans Burger seasoned* and wrapped in foil before cooking (it's a steam broiled stove top cooked burger) 2 cheeses (American<out of cheddar> & Mozzarella) Giant tortilla with a thin layer of mayo (which helped hold the tortilla shut) wrap everything in the toasted tortilla and grill in the skillet till browned and cheese is melted.

Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 21, 2009, 06:45:24 PM
The real secret is how much flavor is in the patty from cooking it that way. It comes out so juicy after basically boiling in its own juices while it steam cooks and frys on the skillet all at the same time. You gotta use Chili Powder though. sooogood.gif
The bacon also helped the chili (which was leftover from the night before) & cheddar would have been so much better than American cheese.
Sorry about the half-eaten pic, but I didn't think to take a pic until after I was a little more than halfway done with the burger.

The best part is that It took me 3-4 bites before I realized that I hadn't even reached the burger patty in the middle. Mmmm 3-4 bites of nothing but Chili, Cheese, bacon, & tortilla. Then the treat of a super seasoned super juicy meat patty in the center of all of that.

I made this awesome tasting burger over the weekend for my girlfriend and I, but i ate the whole thing before remembering to take pics. I'll definately have to make it again some time though, it was delicious. Haven't cooked in a long time either, so this was a real treat.
It was basically a giant bacon cheeseburger, but the execution was special (for me since I've never made one like this before). I mixed diced green peppers into the ground beef as well as freshly cooked bacon, yum! I molded the patties and made a little pocket in the middle which I filled with Tostitos branded nacho cheese, then molded the patty to cover it, and threw it on the George Forman grill to make sure and knock out the fatTM!
It was epicly good.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 08, 2009, 04:19:37 PM
I made a burger like that once, but I used cheddar cheese in the center. I also chopped onions & green pepper into the beef patty, but putting bacon in it sounds really good.
Maybe I'll try that next time but add mushrooms to it too. Grilled onion, bell pepper, bacon and mushroom in a cheddar beef patty.... Mmm Mmm Mmm.

You mean real bacon or bacon bits like bacos? Cuz I thought about doing that, taking the cheap and easy way out but decided i'd rather go with the real thing. Besides, it woulda made the burger crunchy.. though I also thought about crushing bacon-bits/bacos and using it as a crispy coat to bake on, as if it were chicken. I'll try that one day, but it probably won't be great.
I meant to put onions in the burger too but I forgot to pick some up from the supermarket, so I went without. Mushrooms I'll have to try though, with provolone and maybe a mushroom sauce or a gravy on top.. probably leave the bacon outta that one though. Woulda used cheddar but the liquidy nacho stuff was just more convenient, and I knew the cheddar i had at home had probably turned, and I was right.
Damn, i want to make another burger! I have plenty of ground beef left over (buy 1 get one free bitches) but the bacon is all gone :(

Except for the bacon, that sounds pretty good wiggles. Stuffed burgers are always extra tasty.
I made a stuffed burger once while I was vacationing in Austin, Texas. It consisted of this:
Patty Ground beef Sweet onions Parsley Salt & Pepper
Stuffing Feta Cheese Mushrooms Red onions Green peppers Cucumbers Jalapenos Garlic Ginger
All sauteed before hand in red wine.
I put down a patty, then laid the stuffing in, then placed another patty and sealed the edges. These burgers were a pound each, easy. I broiled them to avert any mess I'd make with grilling.
I then topped the burger with a slice of provolone, lettuce, tomatoes and some Mediterranean french fries (basically french fries baked with feta cheese, lemon, and oregano) all on a kaiser roll.
**** was delicious.

Feeling peckish? Meet the 13 stone record-breaking biggest burger 185lb burger gets place in Guinness Book of World Records
By TOM PHILLIPS - Thursday, September 17, 2009 This vast, terrifying meat pile is officially the world's biggest burger, as certified by the Guinness Book of World Records - weighing in at more than 13st.
The stomach-busting meal sells for a wallet-busting $499 dollars (£302) at Mallie's Sports Grill and Bar in Southgate, Michigan, USA.
Restaurant owner Steve Mallie said it took eight hours to bake a bun big enough to hold the 185lb (84kg) burger.
A triumphant Maillie said: 'Being in the Guinness World Records book is the greatest accomplishment we've ever done.
'I've worked my entire life to build this restaurant and being able to have the notoriety of Guinness makes it just that bit more rewarding.'
The burger is baked for 15 hours before it is topped with cheese, lettuce and tomato, and wheeled out into the restaurant on a trolley.

You can make something extremely thick and chunky, or extremely salty that consuming it dehydrates you to the brink of death. You can serve it out of a fish tank complete with a little scuba man, treasure chest and a tiny castle. Make all those edible and you've got yourself an extreme motherfucking soup, yeah!

Friends, Romans, Countrymen. Please keep in mind that balance must be maintained. The sandwiches are large yes, and often made of ingredients high in fat and sugar and cholesterol, but they are not consumed all at once! My typical sandwich lasts 3-4 days and is often shared with friends. I also only do these sandwiches once a month or so. Moderation is key. I enjoy milkshakes and gravy too, but I do not eat them all the time. Every once in a while I will indulge.
A balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables is important as is regular exercise. This morning I did some jumping jacks and running in place for several minutes and then consumed a bowl of oatmeal before I left for work.

Bacon crumbled into some Chili w/ beans Burger seasoned* and wrapped in foil before cooking (it's a steam broiled stove top cooked burger) 2 cheeses (American<out of cheddar> & Mozzarella) Giant tortilla with a thin layer of mayo (which helped hold the tortilla shut) wrap everything in the toasted tortilla and grill in the skillet till browned and cheese is melted.
Okay, so should I adjust the recipe when I add the new pictures?
You can. An American or Cheddar with Mozzarella mix amendment should do.

Mmm Mmm Mmm. You guys have to make a burger like this once.
Season and wrap it in a foil pocket, as air tight as possible, so that it balloons up like jiffy pop.
I did that last night, only i put the burger patty on a bed of seasoned onions and mushrooms(I have pics if anyone is interested), seasoned the burger, then topped it off with more seasoned onions and mushrooms(salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika).
The burger basically boiled in it's own juices and the juices of the mushrooms and onions while being cooked on the stove top in a skillet. No clean up either. Skillet was as clean when I was done as it was when I started. Results in a flavor infused and very juicy burger. Delicious.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches

Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 09, 2010, 06:14:12 PM
It's more of a stewed burger patty since it kinda stews/boils in it's own juices for about 10 minutes on both sides.
I'll upload some pics I took last nite later if you want to see. I didn't get a pic of the burger cooked with the foil open since my girl opened up the wraps during Chuck and slapped them on buns before I realized what she was doing.

Doing research, apparently Cuban style burgers are fully made with toppings and buns, then wrapped in foil, pressed down, and put back on the grill. Still, your method is different. I fully credit the foil broil burger to BnM2k1.

At a summer camp that I worked at we had a cook out night where we would make burgers by putting ground beef in tin foil and putting the foil on the embers of the camp fire. I would actually put onions inside the ground beef while it cooked. It is quite good and a great way to make food when you are camping with no need for pots and pans and very little clean up. I always called it the bachelor burger.

I wasn't lying. It's my new favorite way to make a burger. So juicy and flavorful.
Well that's because none of the fat can run off. The reason why people prefer to grill burgers is to not only get that lovely fire-made crust of outer meat, but to also let any fat fall off. And it's because of this, that Grilling is by far the healthiest way to eat meat. I'm not looking to lose weight or anything (hell I made fried chicken two days ago), so I'm definitely going to try this technique for more than just fish (which has little fat and the fat is good for you). It sounds (and looks) pretty damn good.
Have you tried it with steak? A nice cut of marbled meat may turn out great.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 14, 2010, 08:09:29 PM
I haven't tried it with a steak yet, but since you've mentioned it, it does sound pretty good.
My next step though is to foil broil a burger then grill the outside to brown it some more and add those grill marks(might do it on my foreman, not as good as fire grill, but I don't have one of those in my kitchen?). Then I'll add all the onions, mushrooms and whatever else get foil broiled with the burger back on top after melting some cheese(Cheddar & Jack or mozzarella) and putting some bacon on top.
^That sound too good not to do right now.... but I don't want to go to the store for ingredients.

it does, but it just taste so good. try it one time when you looking for something a little different from the norm. put onions and anything other favorite thing in the foil with it, like mushrooms and garlic.

The Mcdonald's dollar menu is such a joke, the double cheeseburger is like $1.30 or something like that, I think their small fries are the same.
Either the portions will keep getting smaller or it will have to eventually have to become a 2-Buck-Menu. Most other places have a more generic 'Value Menu' instead of the more financially crippling 'Dollar Menu'. Wendy's probably has one of the best burger join value menus in terms of food-for-dollar from what I've seen.

So I tried the KFC sandwich, and I'd have to say I don't believe it could hold a candle to anything ShyGuy has made.
Essentially, anything that has bacon and cheese on it, but over-powers the taste of the bacon and cheese entirely, so you can't taste them, is no good to me. The taste of the chicken was too strong, and while I could feel the texture of the cheese, it was barely noticeable. If I hadn't seen the bacon, myself, I wouldn't have even thought it was on there afterward.
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches
Post by: Mop it up on April 14, 2010, 06:24:58 PM
I'm not surprised to hear that. When you're mixing a bunch of flavours then you have to strike a balance so nothing gets overpowered by something which tastes too strong. Really, the bread of a sandwich is just to keep it all together and make it easy to hold, it isn't supposed to add much to the taste. Replacing it with something flavourful might seem like a good idea, but it actually isn't.
I'd also imagine the sandwich is really greasy and messy, even if you get the grilled version...
Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches

BTW am I the only one seeing the irony of complaining about the fat content of a fast food "sandwich" in a topic about Extreme Sandwiches that probably have more calories/fat/carbs packed into them then probably 10 double downs. ;)
A sandwich that could possibly be sold in around 5000 stores across your country wouldn't be considered extreme. Well, I guess it could, but it wouldn't be like the one-off type delas found in this thread.

Well my best friend and I tried the Double Down today, it wasn't bad, but like said before the chicken flavor overpowers the sandwich for the most part. It wasn't bad at all, but not something I look forward to eating again.

I believe a quote from the old show JAG summed it up nicely. I can't believe I remember this:
"What's vegemite?"
"When I was in Australia Sir, It's a jam they got down there, It tastes a bit like diesel till you get used to it"

It does look pretty nasty. But I'd be willing to try it. I've also still gotta find some of that Nutella that was mentioned a few pages back.

nutella is amazing and everyone likes it...like Ferrero Rocher ? Than you have had nutella before.
Eat Vegemite on toast..that's the best way to enjoy it for a beginner. Honestly, i haven't had it in ages, so i don't even remember what it tastes like, but i did like it.

I've not had one of those Rocher thingies before, I'm not really a fan of hazelnut.

Ugh, that KFC thing looks disgusting. So does that McGangbang thing, what the hell is wrong with America?
Needs more vegemite, amirite?
Nowhere near enough, Vegemite is the lifeblood of Australia.
I should make a EXTREME VEGEMITE SANDWICH. Okay, my mind is set, this is happening. In the planning stages now.
Haha. Is it going to be a brumby's bread roll with a 50mm thick layer of vegemite cheesy bits smeared on it? Maybe with some cheese.
Yeah, I'm not too sure how I'm going to go about it. I could basically just dollop the whole jar onto a couple of pieces of bread and call it a day, but I've essentially being doing that for 20 years (I like a fuckload of Vegemite). I'm probably just gonna add a **** load of ingredients that "go" with Vegemite into a bowl, mix it up and the spread it onto a bun then wash it down with a glass of Vegemite. (Yes, Vegemite can be a drink too. I've had it as a mixer with vodka before...)
It's gonna be sweet.

Title: Re: Extreme Sandwiches

Not too spicy. The chili has a little heat and the carne asada marinade has a Jalapeno in it, but the sour cream cuts a lot of the heat.

We need to make a NWR Funhouse Test Kitchen thread for all recipes and not just crazy sandwiches that make my heart timer tick a little faster.
A thread for everything we are making and not just meals for one that could feed a small village.
I think I'll get right on that actually..... just gotta decide on the format and the title

I think that's more suitable for General Chat, unless you plan on making it dirty by slathering the food of the recipes on yourself, or something.

I just made my Vegemite sandwich with Beef as a test-run. I actually tried to make it more of an edible sandwich as opposed to my chuck everything into the blender approach I metioned earlier. Although, as I'm a vegetarian until the end of the month I let my brother give it the first taste test. He said it was great.
So around early May I'm gonna give it another shot, and eat it myself. Although I won't use beef, I'm gonna go with something more Australian.

Koalas are only endangered in some parts of Australia, in other parts they're a pest and are destroying local ecosystems. I'm pretty sure they're even culling them in some places.
That said, I'm pretty sure you can't buy Koala meat anywhere.

i couldn't find Vegemite at the import store i visited in Chandler, but I did find some Marmite, which was also on my to-try list because it is either A) No-name brand Vegemite B)really similar anyhow. I hadn't had Vegemite since I was a kid so it was like trying it for the first time all over again. IT was strange. Im not going to say I like it, and I'm not going to say I hate it. It kept switching flavors on me. It would either taste like delicious beef or a lager beer. I have to say though I had just ate octopus chip puffs before hand so that might have had an influence on the taste.
from reading the article on Wikipedia it would seem as Vegemite is a much milder version, i suppose if i rubbed my toast with butter and then a tad of Marmite it would probably taste like Vegemite.
round 2!
butter improved the flavor of the marmite making it savory, but every few bites i would get an extreme bitter flavor. This is a cause where i need Australian eating advice from an expert Australian.

I haven't tried marmite so I can't help you there. There is also Promite but once again I haven't tried that either. Kraft have just released a new Vegemite along with the original. It's pretty much vegemite mixed with cream cheese. It is also quite nice. It is a more toned down version. Not quite as "bitey".

well the place i got my Marmite from was a GIGANTIC asian oriented import marker. It is possible that Vegemite was there, but i was only there for an hour, and i didn't think to look for Vegemite till about the time we were leaving, i could have asked for help but I have asked for help in Asian Import stores before to find that they would say they don't carry things..only to find them. Not to mention language barrier issues. Theres another store to try and thats World Market.
Just be sure to tear off that buffalo's wings first. Don't want him trying to fly away.

Yesterday I had an ice cream cone, a hamburger, a strawberry shake, a bag of spicy peanuts and, water, a diet soda, lemonade, and half a turkey sandwich. One of those did it.
Peanuts aren't very pleasant when they come back up.
