Greg, I am shocked! I thought you only ate Haribo!

― kirsten (kirsten), Monday, 5 April 2004 16:48 (twenty years ago) link

Kirsten, I DO! I've been mostly living on white maltesers and tesco white chocolate bars lately, actually... I think I'm turning into some kind of white chocolate fascist. I was trying to explain to someone how I kinda identified with it, last week.

All of which reminds me that I totally owe you that CANDY EXCHANGE parcel, I will send it tonight, honest, honest, honest!

Yay! I won't be able to send yours until this weekend, but I will go candy shopping on Friday!

Revived cos I noticed that most of these peter out about the 6/7 ingredients mark. What d'you reckon the upper limit for ingredients in one sandwich is? More importantly has it ever been reached? Could ten minutes in the kitchen right now lead me to a new world record?

― winterland, Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:04 (twenty years ago) link

There's a pragmatic ceiling, I think: assuming not all foods are equally or identically compatible with all other foods, and that the set that a pairing of foods is comptible with is equal to, or more likely smaller than, the intersection of their respective compatibility sets, the first food you pick limits in some way the foods you can pick next, and so on down the line. Once you reach a certain point, your only real options are to a) add a food that really doesn't go well with what you already have, or b) add something that blends in all but unnoticed (if you already have aioli on the sandwich, you can add mayo without ruining it, but why bother?). There's not much point in doing either, except for the sake of doing so.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:29 (twenty years ago) link

But that's the only reason I'd be doing it...for the sake of it...it just seems possible that if I were to go downstairs now..carefully slice the contents of my fridge and cupboards and put them between two slices of bread, that I would be eating the most complex sandwich ever..of all time...

I can't actually be bothered, but I'm sure someone here would like a try.

― winterland, Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:34 (twenty years ago) link

Buy a dozen greens and you'd be ahead of the game right there before you even add your turkey or whatever, if we're going to go with raw number of ingredients; but if we ban closely-related doubles (if you have romaine lettuce, you can't count iceberg separately; if you have bacon, turkey bacon doesn't count on its own; only one salami, no fair getting a dozen different ones), that'd be much more ... likely to result in something terrible, I guess.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:38 (twenty years ago) link

I'm thinking of mixing mayonaisse, mustard, marmite, honey, peanut butter, jam,lemon curd, butter, nutella and fish paste into a kind of all-purpose binding agent to start with...

― winterland, Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:41 (twenty years ago) link

Just don't name it! If you name it, it collapses into one ingredient unit. Don't make the same mistake Mr Mustard did.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:45 (twenty years ago) link

Also, does it count as a sandwich if no one eats it? At least one bite needs to be swallowed, I think, and then you can claim to be "full." Drugs might be in order.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:46 (twenty years ago) link

I'm worried that with the miniscule quantities of each ingredient that I'm gonna need if they're gonna top the 50 mark that I'll havee to eat the whole thing to make sure I've consumed each one..

Now see, that's someone who knew to listen to what the bread was telling him! He didn't complain that the bread had been sliced incorrectly, he took advantage of the situation. I approve.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 15 April 2004 15:08 (twenty years ago) link

I am so damn hungry now.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 15 April 2004 15:14 (twenty years ago) link

My lunch:

Kaiser roll (we're out of poboy bread)
Roast beef and gravy[1]
Tabasco sauce
French fries
Mayo
Kaiser roll

[1] See, this is what I mean about ingredient-unit collapse. I can't count it as more than two ingredients, and probably only as one, since the roast beef is in the gravy, as per New Orleans poboys. But it was made with beef, beef broth, lamb demiglace, red wine, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, green chiles, black pepper, tomato paste, and bay leaves. If "gravy" didn't exist as a name for me to hook on it, possibly this could count as a dozen ingredients.

Meanwhile, winterland's adventures in the kitchen continue ... ?

Matt and I attempted some sort of bruschetta on our griddle thing yesterday lunchtime and ohmygod the smoke alarm went off and unbeknown to me it's on a circuit with the whole building (7 more flats) and as I have no access to the upper flats where the alarm system is, I was powerless to reset it myself. So all my neighbours appear on the basement steps yelling. And then I have to look like a total ponce when explaining that I set it off 'making bruschetta'.

omg late late summer means PATTY MELTS for dinner!

-1 sourdough english muffin, split open and grilled inside and out
-enough extra sharp cheddar to fit on the open faces of both muffin pieces
-1 onion, sliced thickly and fried up in olive oil, salt, pepper, CRP, etc (when done, remove from pan and wrap in dry paper towels to remove excess oil)
-1 hamburger patty (nothing macho, just a small one), fried in leftover oil from onions until medium rare
-bbq sauce

melt the cheese on the grilled bread, add burger patty, onions, bbq sauce, plate up w/ the remaining fried onions, and EAT!

pickles optional. i didn't have any.

It's a peppery salad leaf. I think it's something different in some places, but I can't remember what. It's great.

a lot of freshly ground black pepper

One of these is a party; two is an orgy; two plus a bag of Fritos and a glass of milk is 120 Days of Sodom. Any more than that is a funeral.
