The Off Topic Topic

My hair is now, finally, long enough to be all tied together in one bun.

[Razgovory]

Finally got my new oven installed.  I've gone three years without an oven.

[The Larch]

I'll be getting my regular trim later this week. How come is it so difficult for you to get one? I only had issues during the hard lockdown period last spring.

[Sheilbh]

Barbers are closed again here I think - and I think in London they were closed in November and then when we went into Tier 4. So I missed the one week window to get my hair cut

[Josquius]

My mam did a big hair cut on me just before christmas. Cut off way too much but I guess that was a good thing, I should be fine until late summer.

[celedhring]

My barber is closed, too. My hair is still ok, but I hope they reopen throughout February

Finally got my new oven installed.  I've gone three years without an oven.

But Raz, please don't go around telling people, "after three years of trying I've finally got something/one in the oven"

And yet another list of:

The Best Sandwich in Every State

The Florida choice, The Cuban Sandwich at The Columbia in Tampa, is something of a controversial pick since they put salami on their sandwich, while in most parts of Florida that is not done.

For Michigan, Corned Beef or Reuben sandwiches are the best in my opinion, but curiously all the delis they mention are in the city of Detroit rather than the Jewish neighborhoods in the northern suburbs.

For the UK (honorable mention), my usual go-to to-go sandwiches are either a Ploughman or an Egg & Cress.

Egg and Cress it a classic.

The best UK sandwich is a pie barm in Wigan

[Tonitrus]

I had to look that up...that might be more English.  In Scotland, it could well be slapping some haggis in-between a couple pieces of bread. 

[Josquius]

My dad worked in Wigan a year or two back.
He says it's one of the worst places on the planet. Absolute knackers yard.
And he's very used to the rough places up here.
I dread to tread.

Ham and pease pudding would be our local sandwich. I do not approve. Stotties are however excellent.

[Oexmelin]

Never had a pastrami sandwich in the US that could compete with a Montreal smoked meat sandwich.

Of those on the list, I have had Central Grocery's muffaletta, which I love (though you can find as good elsewhere in the city); the R.I. broccoli sandwich, which is indeed delicious (and which now I crave ); the Virginia country ham sandwich in Richmond, which is also really nice and Hattie B's spicy chicken sandwich in Nashville, which I found disappointing. 

Provel is an abomination. 

[Threviel]

Gets me hungry, most of them look real tasty. What's the deal with not one sandwich made with rye bread?
