Titus, do you know what they make a Cuban sandwich out of?


Titus was dissing the oyster sandwich so I want to show him what a spicy little Cuban looks like. Of course I bet he knows..

This spicy pulled pork sandwich is of course made of hog.
So to speak.

It almost made the cut for the sandwich poll. I guess that makes it cut hog.

Hours later that sandwich repeats on you for a whole nother meal.

How come when I go to a cuban place it's all rice and marinated chicken?

Because people in Californis are pussies.

Sorry but it's true.

In Hawaii I was on the line for the breakfast buffet and two guys were in front of me. One had a plate with a grape and two twigs and some watercress. The other guy had a plate like mine with scrambled eggs and sausage and corn beef hash and hash browns. I looked at him and he said "where you from dude." I said "Brooklyn."
He said "Pittsburgh." The water cress guy piped up "San Diego." We laughed and order a six back of beer to bring to the table and got the wives to sit down and the couples hung out for the rest of the trip.

The watercress guy looked sad.

"The watercress guy looked sad."

Why? Had his watercress gone limp?

You hardly need to apologize. It's not like I'm not aware of that.

Though, honestly, I usually don't wake up till lunch.

What's that got to do with Cuban food?

It's not like Cubans aren't making it for other Cubans. Do they just wuss up when they get here?

Of course they do. They can't use all the fats and oils and stuff they used back home. Even in New York pussies like Nanny Bloomberg are trying to control how stuff is cooked. Thank God the Cuban and Puerto Rican Restuarants that I eat in pay no attention to that Trans-fat bullshit.

I had four huge deep fried calzones today.

You see my wife and the girls in the shop ordered lunch and forgot to ask me.

I said oh yeah, well I will show you.

blake said...

Oh, man.

That sounds great.

But AFAIK, we don't have those cooking restrictions like you NYCers.

The only one I can think of is the hot dog one. You have to boil them instead of grill them, hence you can't make a decent bacon-wrapped dog. Reason.

And I think that's just street vendors.

Whatchoo talkin about Willis? That ain't a Cubano. That might be pernil, and it looks yummo, but where's the pickle, where's the ham, etc.? It looks like barbecue. Delish but not a Cuban sammich.

Meanwhile if you'd picked a veal parm it'd be a tighter race. You did say my choice of vendor, right? So that's a Katz's pastrami, not some goyische cryopak notion?

In which case I wish I could get the new poll to load. Though the oyster po'boy might be something...but I only had the shrimp PB in NO, skipped the fried arsters. Sob!
