the only way to be original or clever is to also be a total hermit.
LOL.
While you are at it, get a new hairstyle. Lego thought of it years ago My sandwich:
Required: Craquelin baguette Olive oil Fleur de Sel Fresh basil leaves Sopresata Optional: Fresh tomato slices Gruyere Heaven between the buns. So to speak. Runner up: Big fat burger w/ blue cheese, swiss, bacon, and grilled mushrooms. (drool) ok, these all sound totally scrumptious, but nobody's mentioned the good old PB&J? so many ways to do it, and all of them right. heck peanut butter in general. how about a peanut butter, green apple and white cheddar on whole grain?
anyone been to the atlas cafe in SF? amazing sandwiches: goat cheese and apple, toasted nori with baked tofu, baked beets. but their no cheese pizza is the best, yams, marinated tofu, some kind of fancy mushroom, and beets.

dood: PB and Bacon!!
dood: san francisco has weird-ass food. yams, tofu, fancy mushrooms and beets??? on pizza!!!?!?! with no cheese???!?!?! here in massachusetts we eat italians subs, none of your fru fru vegan crap. ;)
italian sub: mortadella, genoa salami, cappacola (hot or sweet), lettuce, onion, tomato, pickles, hot peppers (the yellow kind, not the sour gloppy crap), sub sauce (~italian dressing), on a sub roll. it's even better when you put it in the pizza oven for a minute before the veggies go on. oh man i love me italian subs. PB&J? You asked for it. Hope this doesn't make anyone vomit up a little in their mouth.
The famous Fool's Gold Loaf The evening of February 1, 1976, found Elvis home at Graceland entertaining two favored guests in the jungle room. Capt. Jerry Kennedy was a member of the Denver police force, and Ron Pietrafeso was in charge of Colorado's Strike Force Against Crime. Elvis had met both men several years earlier during his period of extreme interest in law enforcement, which culminated in his surprice drop-in visit to President Nixon, who named Elvis a "special agent". Tonight, as Elvis sat on his Kon Tiki throne chair in front of the jungle room's babbling waterfall, the discussion centered on law enforcement in Colorado. Elvis however, was reminded of something else. Colorado was the home of the absolutely delicious sandwich, the best Elvis had ever eaten: the Fool's Gold. Elvis had sampled the sandwich only once, when after a concert he was invited to a restaurant called the Colorado Cold Mine Company in the Denver suburbs of Glendale. He ordered the house specialty, which was named Fool's Gold because of it's outrageous price -$49.95. The first bite alone was enough to make a lasting impression on Elvis. Now, months later, Elvis was reminded of those sandwiches. Both of his guests from Colorado were very curious about this extravagant treat. The King's policy when enteraining in his rock and roll palace was to grant his guests' every desire - your wish was literally the King's command, be it a game of racquetball at four in the morning or a down-home Southern breakfast at midnight. However, the "Fool's Gold Loaf", since it came from a restaurant in Denver, would stretch the limits of even Elvis' notion of hospitality. Elvis gazed across at his guests, who were comfortably ensconced on the Hawaiian armchairs, cushioned by the rabbit's fur throw pillows. The conversation continued to revolve around the sandwiches. One of the guys impulsively remarked, "Boy, I wish I had me one of them now!", Elvis knew what he and his guests wanted and the thousand-mile-journey to the Fool's Fold Loaf would not deter him. Elvis looked at his friends and shouted, "Let's go get 'em!" Before the lawmen knew what was happening they were seated inside Elvis' stretch Mercedes along with another couple of Elvis' buddies, and whisked to the Memphis airport. Elvis' personal jet, the Lisa Marie, was waiting for them on the tarmac. As the four jet engines roared for takeoff, the excitement inside the plane revved even higher as Elvis and his guests were about to be flown the two hours to Denver for Elvis' favorite sandwich, the most mouthwatering sandwich known to the King. Ones aloft, Elvis, the lawmen, and the test of the gang gathered in the plane's dining room, around its leather topped table sith surrounding bucket seats upholstered in aquamarine plush. Though Elvis often snacked on the Lisa Marie, in anticipation of the filling treat to come his only indulgence was a bottle of his vine de table - regular Pepsi. At the Colorado Gold Mine Company, the scene was frenzied. The call had come in from Memphis at midnight. The cooks had less than two hours to prepare the "takeout" order of their lifetime. The massive griddle was scrubbed clean in order to fry up the huge quantitites of bacon required. The loaves of bread were quickly hollowed out and then briefly browned. The other ingredients were always ready. Miraculously, the staff completed its creation in the nick of time. The restauranteur, his wife, and a waiter speed of off for the Denver airport with twenty-two loaves. As requested, a case of Perrier and a case of champagne accompanied the sandwiches, along with a chest of cracked ice. Elvis' plane touched down at 1:40 am at Stapleton Airport and taxied to a private hangar. The owner of the restaurant personally brought Elvis and his party the order on silver trays. For two hours in the Denver night, the feasting went on. It was typical of Elvis' generosity that he insisted that the plane's pilots, Milo High and Elwood Davis, join the fun. Elvis, as usual, avoided the alcohol, instead washing down the sandwiches with the Perrier. It was yet another night of dining Elvis style on food fit for the King. And just what is "Fool's Gold Loaf"? Far be it from Elvis to settle fon an ordinary peanut butter an jelly sndwich. Fool's Gold Loaf is a p.b.j realized on such a heroic scale as to become truly Olympian. An entire loaf of bread is warmed and then hollowed out. The sandwich is generously spread with peanut butter and an equally thick layer of jelly. Finally, lean bacon has to be cooked, at least a pound fried to crispness, to fill the reamining belly of the loaf. The massive loaf is then downed while the bacon is still hot. The serving size? One loaf per person. todays sandwich:
grilled pumpkin, spanish onion,cheese,pesto & artichoke on rye. i'm not sure; bit of a flavor clash... the usual is avocado, swiss, mushrooms and grilled capsicum on a rye.that one is great Ooh. I was feeling all down until I heard about your sandwich.
