Fat Tuesday!!!!!!!!! One of the many signature foods of The Big Easy, is a wonderful sandwich called the Muffuletta..It is said to have originated in a place called the Central Grocery in the French Quarter..The assembly goes as such..
On some Italian bread layer..Ham, Mozzarella, Genoa Salami, Provelone, then layer it again!
Then top it off with some olive salad, I make my own of course, but you can buy it already made up. You can then grill it like a panini, or you can eat it cold..This is what I am treating my co-workers to tomorrow...Along with some of my home-made chicken Jambolaya...Those pics will finish this week-end of food debauchery...
Peace...!
FIRST!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am totally coming over for some Muff.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I totally wrote that to make you laugh. Did it work? ;)

I have never before been the first in your comment box here so please step aside (or you can join me) while I do a little happy dance!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm...the food looks and sounds wonderful. I have always loved to cook, the kids bought me new and much needed cookware for Christmas so I have been wearing it out. My next try will be butternut squash rosotto.
Sandwiches are always good especially when you get creative with them.
Hope you have a great Tuesday!
What is Jambolaya???
ReplyDeleteThose are some awesome looking sandwich rolls!
Galen I posted The recipe Video of Mulligatawny Soup at my blog at Susie's request. Please come & check it as I remember you having asked me about it some time back.
may i please be
ReplyDeleteone of your co-workers?
i hope they know
how lucky they are
that you do all this great
cooking for them...
xo
Oh how well I know that jambalaya, over dirty rice!
ReplyDeleteAlso the gumbo and the crawfish boil!!!!!!!
My best friend in the whole world lives in Louisiana, 50 miles from Nawaleans. That's Cajun for New Orleans, lol.
I am going out there the end of April. That's after hurricane weather and before the horrible humidity!
Actually I can not stand the crawfish, here in Cali. we call them crawdads.
I also think jambalya is a total waste of good shrimp, but I just do not like those cajun spices!
Your sanwiches look yummy though!
` I may be a vegetarian, but I must have some sammich!!!!
ReplyDelete` PS The Space Kitties want some too. They also want you to come to their gallery... though some of my photos have disappeared!
MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yumm
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds yummy. Your Krew will love it.:)
ReplyDeleteWhere's the
ReplyDeletePaczki? I actually tried a bite of one yesterday and it was the best thing I've eaten in almost 1.5 years. I'm paying for it today though with an upset stomach.
I'm sure if I ate your muff(thanks SnowElf), I would think that was the most heavenly thing ever.
Mardi Gras heureux, Monsieur!!
well i have my fausnacht post up complete with picture. i'm gorging today and then i think i need to fast for 40 days or something so i can fit into my clothes again.
ReplyDeletehappy mardi gras, enjoy your muffaletta and jambalaya
and is it me or is the name of that sandwich vaguely erotic?
The sandwich looks awsome and of course jambalaya would be wonderful too although I say that just from knowing what is in it and hearing what others have said. Everyone at work is in for a great treat indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhere I work I did the Paczki route and it went well. The Roma Backery does a wonderful job for being an Italian bakery. Buy boy my mouth is watering for what you all have today.
I tried tossing you some beads a few times G but I am afraid I can not toss them there beads some 60 miles. I can't even make it a football fields length. You will just have to pretend I did.
You are the man when it comes to cooking.
Oh please don't - I'm on a diet! :(
ReplyDeleteThe sandwich sounds great G, but wouldn't it be better with French bread? Anything with olives has at least one good thing about it. And cheese... Oh just hand me one.
