i do have the tortillas, corn tortilla. i said no wheat - and wheatless breads arent easy to find. (thus corn tortillas and rice). beans and all kind of vegetables (excludin onion) inside, then tabasco. simple.

i did see soem corn bread on a store though, i'll have a look if that's only of corn.
 
mmm a blackened grouper sandwich has always been a favorite of mine. as far as cold sandwiches go I usually eat peanut butter and jelly, though not your oridanry pb & j, I only use natural fresh peanut butter like what publix makes in their deli section and real all fruit jelly, none of that sugar water welches or smuckers preferably blackberry or rasberrry. Peanut butter with honey and bannana is good as well.

mmmmmmm, cornbread is good. you can definitely find it without wheat. i don't know if there are those that make it with wheat, it would seem kind of useless to me. no flour in a corn tortilla, heh. what's the matter with wheat though?
 
some people are allergic to wheats..

health food stores have all sorts of breads. without wheat and such. my problem with breads is that most have this little tiny dairy (some little thing derived from milk) ingredient that i can't seem to shake... hah. probably in health food stores they have em though


taco without meat is still a taco though. ;)

it's when you tell the people at taco bell you want the grilled stuft with beans instead of beef, and no sour cream or cheese that they get confused.... i watched one guy make it, realize how little stuff was on it, and go back for more beans.... by that time the screen with the order had scrolled, so he didn't see the no beef thing anymore, and tossed some in. at the time i wasn't sure, but 2 bites in... now that that's "real" beef. hah

Sounds like she is talking about a Taco Salad. It still sounds delicious to me!

Thank you Shadowfax, you are a good friend!

Aw, c'mon scem0... It's easy. Just don't cook the ramen first!

Thank you, jayscheuerle. My point was to try to get him to try something different. He has stated that it doesn't sound like a good match to him. So I respect him for stating his thoughts clearly. At some point I may try a Ramen salad myself!

I personally insist that any taco I encounter experiences some meat.

Call me old fashioned...

There needs to be a vegetarian version for those that don't like meat. Sometimes my wife likes to make meals without meat!
 
A friend of mine can't eat wheat. Shes allergic to gluetin (sp?), and a bunch of other stuff. She has corn tortillas all the time.

I can't eat meat, so I always have Tacos with beans and cheese. Sometimes rice, lettuce, tomatoes. No meat. Don't even miss it.

Ever wonder why they have soft tacos, but no hard burritos?

Tazo,

I just noticed your local. I was in Seattle about 3 weeks ago after climbing Mt. Colchuck and camping at the base of a glacier while fly-fishing (and jumping in) in a glacial lake. Beautiful country out there. Nobody thinks that half of Washington State is desert.

My bro's in Portland and I'd move out there if the job prospects and the schools weren't in such bad shape. - j
 
uncooked ramen is gross in the first place.

But on a sandich!

I don't want to ruin a perfectly good sandwich with that. :)

Hey tight I have never been to Mt. Colchuck, or Portland but I am sure both are beautiful. It really is a very beautiful state, and if we had a few more sunny days it would be the ideal place to live. It already is in a sense; nice people, big cities, lots of greenery, outdoor activities. basically the best of every world.

glad Washington State was a positive experience for you :)

Scem0,

I completely agree with you on the ramen sandwich thing. Ramen is disgusting uncooked, i cannot imagine biting into it and as you said, wasting a sandwich ;)

So last night was a chicken shawarma...deelish!! :D

I also had some eggplant salad, kinda sweet, kinda spicy, very good stuff.

ALSO had the dairy free chocolate cake after. Damn that stuff is good! I brought an extra piece home, and have it in the freezer waiting to be devoured.

I'd have to say, overall, I love pocket pita sandwiches best. If it's got chicken & diced salad/veggies in it, I'm game. ;)

My thought was to cook the Ramen Noodles first scem0. Then make a salad, sound delicious. As eyelikeart mentioned, I think that the Ramen Noodle salad would go great with Pita Bread!

But I know I wouldn't like it. ;)

Cold Ramen just doesn't appeal to me. I also don't think I would like the texture of cold ramen mixing with the sandwich bread, meat, and mayonaise.

bleh.

The same here. If i do eat wheat my stomach hurts like a dell (well happens with milk too, just had a latte for breakfast, bad idea), so like the last .. well, tens or hundreds of times i did it i was ill after. No meat, and my bf doesnt eat it either. When i cook, no complaints (about identical taste), i do make him some pasta etc sometimes though (and he makes sandwiches etc, normally with beans, cheese, egg whites, fried peppers and whatever green stuff we happen to have) :)

actually, it's a vegetarian sandwich and smoothie shop. they use a lot of tofu, hummus,, sprouts, soy, etc. great wraps and hogies, and the best veggie burger in the world (home made, half pound, BBQ sauce). now i'm hungry.

Jen's Juice Joint is a favorite lunchtime place for me and some friends. We used to drive from downtown (killing any parking bargains) a few times a week for Jen's.

Haven't been there in a while though. Totally killer place :D
