Macs and Sandwiches

nah, I haven't tried it yet.

I can't say I plan to try it at all.

I don't want to waste any precious ramen on something that I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like :p.

My brother is just like that. It gets really annoying to go to like a nice Chinese food restaurant, and have them order a hamburger! meh, very embarasssing.
 
nah, im open minded when it comes to food, but not when it comes to cold ramen on a sandwich...

i feel like an idiot. I was at my favorite little Vietnamese restaurant, and i ordered the soup. its like a gallon of soup. accompanying the soup is a plate of toppings like flat lead greens, bean sprouts, etc, and a green pepper. I thought it was a jalapeno which I can handle heat wise. I would later find out it was a green Serrano pepper; the same kind used to make Sriracha, except a different color. That thing lit my mouth on fire! I felt really stupid asking for a pitcher of water

Mmmm, Pho. And I did the same thing expecting Jalapeños and getting more than I bargained for...:p :eek:

LOL, werd. My best friend always wants to go to ***** Mamouns when we get hammered. Doesn't matter where we are, he's like:

"Yo, I want a fal-hic- falafel from Mamouns. Let's go - hic."

-"No stupid, we're in Brooklyn."

"Oh. beef patty then...."

ahh haha, yeah man, defo a good bevvie soaker upper...the kebab is pretty much the food of choice after coming out of a nightclub in england. doner kebabs we call 'em, i think they're called gyros over here. but mamoun's is worth a trip from brookie for sure. oh, and the best shawarmas....alfanoose on fulton st i think (manhattan fulton, not brookie fulton)

j-lo ... yeah, and the baklava is good too, and for a buck, well, i just gotta have two.

yes. pho. The place is small, quiet, and about 500 feet from my house:) Yes one must be really careful about eating raw peppers or chiles, especially if you odn't know what they are :)

btw, is pho pronounched Poe, or foe?
I think its poe but I am not sure if thats the right way :)
 
Ah swandwhiches- one of the best things ever made. Good one to try is a kaiser roll (must be soft) with some really good mayo, some alpine lace swiss (it has a sort of sharp taste to it), and a nice large slice of tomatoe- very nice for a light sandwhich. Schlotsky's (spelling?) is always a great place to go, ham and cheese original- course there is more there to like. One good warm sandwhich to make at home is a lobster one. Take lobster (and maybe some crab if you want) put it on a large hoggie bun (all the more, the better), drench in a butter-lemon or butter garlic sauce, add anything else you want (usually don't), verry good sandwhich. I also don't eat at subway anymore after hearing what my sister had to say about them (She is studying for vet so she had to go to a meat analysis course). Sappositly Subway's definition of "fresh" is to cut their meat in clean rooms (what your normal semiconductors, et all are made in, or assembled together) and then to ship them to their stores. Sure its not bad but one of the ending effects is a high rate of (I think this is its name) Lysteria, wont make you get to badly sick- but might make your stomach feel a little woosy.

i don't actually think of myself as an austinite. i think of myself as a new mexican... by far a better state overall, and Los Alamos kicks austin's @$$ for style and smarts. that's where i want to live when i graduate... up in the Jemez mountains (that's pronounced HAY-mess for you dumb Texans out there ;))...

anyways, i don't think a Quizno's Classic Italian is really any heavier than an Italian BMT at Subway... it's mostly the same stuff, same meats and such, and it's just run through a toaster. toasters don't add weight to sandwiches or change them from healthy to unhealthy. also, i don't eat out for healthy food very often. if i want healthy food, i eat fruit at home. plus my mom is a damn good cook, and my dad's on the atkin's diet, so i get plenty of that stuff.

If you don't like Texas so much, then switch schools and move out. Just a thought.

a good recommendation all around. except i've been a high schooler until now, so it's not such an easy thing to ditch my family just to get out of this place. also i have some good friends here. but yes, am going to college outside of this state, which i have planned on doing for over 6 months now.

I heard it as "foe" and there was a vietnamese girl with our group when we went, so I think that's it.

i'll bet they picked pho because fo just looks stupid, heh. but i have seen many vietnamese pronounce it "foe" too. all Ph- words are like that, to my knowledge. if i'm wrong, though, i'd be glad to know of one :D

Yuck .. ramen .. personally, it tastes like processed hair (well, if hair was food-processed, I'm sure that's what it would taste like). :(

I don't think that's necessarily a good thing .. since I'm in college and my diet is supposed to consist entirely of Ramen! :eek:

Hmm .. besides a good, PB&J sandwich, I don't have any great sandwich recipes to add. Perhaps a chicken cheese quesadilla with Dave's Insanity Sauce (a REAL quesadilla .. not those el-cheapo taco bell ones) would be appropriate since I'm mostly mexican ;)
 
i don't eat bread. so would 100 % onion - and meat free tacos count? beans, sometimes cheese and then about anything (vegetables) in them.

ahh...dude....yum yum... :D

My current favorite sandwich comes from a middle eastern restaurant that is a family friend & freelance client of mine, called Casablanca. Chicken shish is the name of it: grilled chicken, diced tomato, onion, cucumber, grilled peppers, tahini sauce topping it...all piled into a wheat pita. I had one last night for dinner. I think I'll do it again tonite.

Oh yeah...and they have good baklava. But, they have the absolute BEST chocolate cake! Dairy free. J-lo, u would like. ;)
 
The best sandwich I ever had was a Panini in Italy - haven't found anything like it here in the states. Even when they have the hot press machine.....something about doing it with the right type of ingredients....

Sharwarmas are good too - but I have to be in the mood for those.

D

baklava is delicious eyelikeart, a very rich dessert. It's always better when made at a Greek bakery! ;)

would one be closed minded if he didn't want to try human feces on his sandwich?

Okay - ramen wouldn't be THAT bad, but sometimes you just know what will taste good and what will taste bad. ;)

Most excellent:D

how do you have a taco without (what is essentially) bread? i mean, no meat, no shell... no tortilla... what makes it a taco?
