You can find guedilles in many places in eastern Quebec (more or less a variation on  chicken sandwich salad/lobster roll) and I grew up with fried bologna sandwiches in Montreal which I never found elsewhere.

My dad described growing up eating fried bologna sandwiches and made them a handful of times for us as kids.

On the Central Coast of California it is tri-tip sandwiches that everyone has to riff on.  There are smothered, pulled, bare bones, loaded, impossible to eat without 2 tons of compression to make it fit in your mouth, etc.

Even little hole in the wall places or mountain grocery store seems to sell their variations - I haven't had a bad one yet, though I know they are out there...
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I love pastrami and corned beef (both UK and US varieties) :ph34r:

But obviously it needs mustard and pickles - which is probably against the rules.

Mustard on pastrami and corned beef *is* the rule, unless it's a Reuben.

Grumbler, is there a streaming service where we can get B5?
in Canada? no.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Not cheaply.  I have the DVDs, so watch those. Amazon has the series at like $25/season or $2 an episode.

My last watch of Babylon 5 was on the short lived Go 90 network, which had them online for free.
