Hunka Hunka Burnin' Crap

Okay, I am working on fried sammiches.

I just tried two. One was an Elvis-style peanut butter and banana job, and the other was green tomatoes, ham, and cheddar on rye.

The Elvis thing was worthless. I mean, it's OKAY, if you're the kind of guy who thinks black and yellow vinyl couches are pretty (like Elvis), but it's not great. I improved it a bit by flambeeing it in banana liqueur, but still, I fail to see what all the fuss is about.

You have to remember, Elvis was the kind of guy who grew up on boiled hot dogs on white bread with cold ketchup. His thing was quantity, not quality.

The second sandwich was really nice. I fried several slices of ham in butter, and then I took the ham out and fried some green tomatoes. I piled it on rye bread with lots of sharp cheddar, and I added hot mustard. MMMM. Tasty. It would be even better with banana peppers.

I bought some guava paste and media noche rolls, but I'm afraid I'll puke if I fry anything else.
