Ah ok, never ate mcdonalds food
You aren't missing much! The Mc rib sandwich was something they introduced in the late 70's or early 80's. It went away off their menu for years, but is resurrected every now and again as a special. They are probably still selling those same 1980 ones they couldn't get rid of then....:confused:
 
The only elk I've tried was an elk burger at Fuddruckers. Can't really remember anything special about it. Just a lean hamburger. I can make super lean hamburgers from deer roasts that taste better than store bought hamburger meat to me. But then I am super careful about the way I process my deer.
 
Well, it wasn't wild game but I cooked a 10lb ham today. Finally finished off the turkey and needed to have something in the fridge. There's not much better than a hot ham with the crispy skin still attached. Now I'll have another week of meals and sandwiches.
 
I made a big batch of 15 bean soup, cooked down with the ham bone and used onions, carrots and tomatoes from the garden. (I had canned the tomatoes and carrots earlier).
 
Where do you get the muffaletta bread? It's hard to find anywhere outside of New Orleans, and impossible to find here. I can probably whip up the olive salad myself, but the closest thing to muffaletta bread around here would be ciabatta. Atlanta Bread or Panera Bread might have something like it, I'll have to check.
Look for ciabatta bread. We have it in our local bakery and that's what I make them with.

Sorry doc, I read that you already do . . :oops:
 
Hunny ate leftover bake potato stuffed with smoked brisket and the last deviled eggs. I went out in the garden and pulled off some mustard leaves. Cooked down some onions, garlic, link sausage diced tomatoes and threw in the mustard with a little chicken broth to wilt. So good.

I hate to get technical, but look at it this way: if you put salami, ham and cheese on sliced white bread, you can't exactly call it a "Hoagie" because a hoagie is what you call a sandwich made on a hoagie bun.

A muffaletta is a specific type of round Sicilian bread that has been around for centuries.

A muffaletta sandwich is a sandwich made on a muffaletta. The most famous of which is the one invented at Central Grocery in the French Quarter with salami, cappicola, mortadella, mozzarella, provolone and olive salad. But if you put tuna salad on a muffaletta it would be a muffaletta sandwich (they do actually have seafood muffalettas in New Orleans).

Salami, cappicola, mortadella, mozzarella, provolone and olive salad on ciabatta bread is, well, an Italian ciabatta sandwich with olive salad. But if that is as close as I can get to a real muffaletta, well I guess I just have to make do until I can get the real thing...

And in case you are wondering...

Muffaletta: A muffuletta is a large, round, and somewhat flattened loaf with a sturdy texture, around 10 inches (25 cm) across. It is described as being somewhat similar to focaccia. Bread used for the muffuletta is different from focaccia, however, in that it is a very light bread, the outside is crispy, and the inside is soft. It has no additional seasonings baked into it, aside from the sesame seeds. The bread is more like French bread, but slightly heavier. It is most akin to an Italian dough recipe. Italian dough includes flour, water, egg, olive oil, yeast, salt and sugar. French bread uses flour, water, yeast and salt.
 
I reheated a bowl of boiled peanuts I still had in the fridge. Not very exciting but easy. I just put in a lot of hours this week. I thought I was taking the weekend off now but got two emergency calls for today. Another day of fast food....
 
I did smoked sausage, with thinly sliced sirloin steak, onions, spicey mustard, sauerkraut, and ketchup on a potatoe roll. My mouth is still burning :). I may regret this tomorrow but it was worth it.
 
Braised honey balsamic chicken, corn on the cob, stuffing and a salad all homegrown except the balsamic vinegar and cornmeal, salt and baking powder for stuffing.
