The fact that the recipe section even allows for the possibility of Spam desserts is deeply unsettling.

The fact that the 2002 winner was a spam and jam sandwich disturbs me. Even though I have had (and enjoyed) a medianoche sandwich which had strawberry jam, ham, and pork as some of the ingredients.

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

I'll thank you not to call that a medianoche.

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

I've also had one without the strawberry jam. It was better. Just a Cuban on a sweet roll.

Appeased?

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

A medianoche is a Cuban on a sweet roll.

In Mexico, I had a hamburger with chicken liver, cream cheese, and mint jelly. Does that make sense?

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

Hmmm. I'd try it without the liver. I can't abide liver in any form.

I hear in Bolivia they put crushed potato chips on hot dogs.

The first medianoche I had had the strawberry jam but was otherwise a Cuban on a sweet roll. It was... actually quite tasty. It was made by a Cuban-American co-worker. But generally I prefer Porto's (only place for a real Cuban sandwich around here), which come with just the standard pork, ham, cheese, mustard, mayo, pickles. Although they also sell a medianoche preparada, which also has croquettes on it.

There's a place here that puts carrots in their potato salad. I thought that was bizzare but it's quite good.

I'm going to have to go with "No. Not at all." Followed by dry heaves.

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Nix the mayo.

KQ, I thought that you were Jewish?

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

I believe she's Mormon.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

[Big Grin]

Nah, she's Mormon. She just hangs out with me (and other kosher-eating types).

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

Oh, is THAT why he thought that.

Couldn't figure that one out!

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

(For the record, yes, I'm Mormon, adult convert who was raised mostly Presbyterian by a mom who was raised Baptist and is now Episcopalian, and a dad who is nothing much but is "culturally Catholic", and liked to take us to his Buddhist friend's stuff, in a family that includes devout Catholics, Lutherans, and Southern Baptists. Oh, and I spent a year in 12th grade at a Reform Jewish school that had a Conservative rabbi and some Orthodox students. So I'm theologically Mormon with a cultural influence of an awful lot of things. [Wink]
