What is your state sandwich?

Ann, when I next get to Carle's in Bucyrus I'll pick up a package of the rye bratwurst buns for you -- and for us. I'll FedEx or UPS them.

I happen to be a big fan of baked beans on/and brown bread. Trouble is, now I have to order the canned B&M brown bread -- or bake it myself. It was one of my favorite meals as a kid, possibly because it was one of the very few things my mother was unable to ruin.

That's funny, off topic, my aunt was the best cook I ever knew, but, she fried liver to the point of incineration! I grew up hating liver, until I had calf's liver that was cooked correctly and it was a marvelous thing!

I was the same way about pork chops. My mother, who incinerated everything from eggs to burgers, cooked pork chops even longer. Because of her pork chops I was 30 before I found out that pork chops were white, tender and juicy.

Yes indeed! Back then they thought pork had to be charred beyond edible to kill bacteria!

Cooking meat to Death was the norm "Back When" for fear of the family getting some killer Bacteria, especially from Pork, Eggs & Chicken. It wasn't until foods were treated to eliminate disease related killers that meats were cooked less well done.

Will check Quik Trip, and local stores for Village Hearth.

Ann, Village Hearth and Country Hearth products are all over the place so you shouldn't have any trouble finding them.  One of the bakeries is located on the eastern edge of Sun Prairie.
 
I don't see the sesame wheat buns as much as I do the white brat buns.

Like Unsolved Mysteries...Update...

NJ is still not done. However...all the other potential hot dog States have punched their dance card ( the somewhat serious potential contenders).

I hope it's Pork Roll. If not a hot dog (since Wisconsin is a Brat) and not a Sloppy Joe. That does not represent NJ like Pork Roll...and of course a hot dog. No.
We want Pork Roll! We want Pork Roll!

Because honest to God in this particular part of NJ (and this is Northern NJ) if you surveyed 100 people about a Sloppy Joe...most would say a Manwich...and a Manwich is a meal. Many are oblivious...but all know Pork Roll.

I think Pennsylvania wins this (even though it's not a contest).

Hoagie
Cheesesteak
Roast pork
Primanti sammich
Fish sammich

To pick one, I humbly disagree on the cheesesteak. It has to be the hoagie. If there was no hoagie, there'd be no cheesesteak, sub, grinder, etc.

I fully agree to eat the capsicum grilled cheese sandwich, that you can found easily anywhere. It's very cheap and cost is $2. I think, you liked it this sandwiches.

Wooohooo!!!

We got Pork Roll! We got Pork Roll!

I noticed the word "melty" used in the blog.

 For the 2 states I have lived in.

I thought pimento cheese belonged to one of the Carolinas.

The Masters seemed to hit it in the bunker this year.

GA:  Chitlins' w/ chunky peanut butter & Vidalia onions.

Although focused in North NJ, the hyper localized Sloppy Joe would be my choice.  The best are three slices of thin sliced rye (sliced to order) with ham/coleslaw/store made Russian, middle slice of rye, Swiss/coleslaw/store made Russian, topped with the last slice of rye.  Cut into thirds.  Traditionally the two bottom slices of rye are buttered (to keep the bread from getting soggy).  Party style versions are done with long slices of the loaf in the shape of a rectangle, then cut into smaller squares or rectangles.  Town Hall Deli in South Orange invented it, the Millburn Deli in Millburn perfected it.
