Mackeson: The New Champion

[aggienaut]

   After extensive research and testing, I think I have determined that Mackeson Triple Stout may be my very favourite beer, surpassing previous champion Black Hart Irish Stout (both available from Trader Joes). This is unfortunate because I think Black Hart has a much cooler name. (=

Regarding Hotdog-Sammich

[witless-nerd.livejournal.com]

Well what defines a sammich?
Clearly it isn't the fact that there is meat, else there could be no pbj
But clearly things like tacos are not sammiches. So perhaps it is the type of bread, as one could put the contents of a taco, in another bun, and it becomes a sammich. Thusly anything with something within or between some form of sammich bread (most leavened loaf breads) would qualify as a sammich?

But in Europe, or at least Russia, a sandwich is often "open-faced" -- that is, the contents are NOT "sandwiched" between two peices of bread!!


Personally, I believe a sandwich consists of miscellenious stuff between bread, but certain between-bread contents, such as patties or cylinders of meat do NOT make sandwiches or any subset of sandwiches. That is, I personally do NOT believe that burgers are sandwiches, nor are hot dogs.

Time to look up exactly what it was that the Earl of Sandwich invented

Well, what he invented was merely some meat inside bread, or so it seems.

What do you think qualifies a sammich?

Its been my favourite for a while. Have you ever seen it anywhere other than Trader Joes?

I'm drinking some Black Hart RIGHT NOW! O=


Its not cold )= But I find Black Hart is even okay at room temp (cold is better though).

Definitely NOT a sandwich.

Is a burger?

[furzicle.livejournal.com]

In the olden days, we always referred to a hot dog as a TUBE STEAK.
Calling a hamburger a sandwich always struck me as being rather elitest. However, I have no problem with the terminology tube steak. It is so obviously a sarcastic over-gentrification of the lowly dog.

O= TUBE STEAK!? For reals?? That is excellent!

It is if it comes on/in bread.
