BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Sandwiches CALL for SANDWICH article ideas

Lestie, when I write the bunny chow article, may I run it by you first? I would like it to be accurate.

Lamb is used in dishes around the world. Why do you think that lamb is not used as much in the United States?

I've gotten great sandwich ideas from these readers. What are your ideas?

Hi Connie,

To answer your lamb question...

When I was in Morocco on a group tour, in a lavish restaurant we were treated to amazing mounds of lamb couscous. A group from Texas (which I believe is part of the U.S.?) would not even try it as their consensus opinion was "all lamb is greasy and smells bad."- that meal was one of the best and most memorable that I have ever eaten. With such closed mindedness and provincialism, culinary and otherwise, that is prevalent in much of the U.S., little wonder then that lamb is so little regarded. It is the loss of the U.S. and the saving of many a lamb.

One of the superb dishes of the world is Hunan Lamb.

Connie,
How about breadless sandwiches like lettuce wraps or gluten free? Also different vegetarian sandwiches perhaps? Cucumber sandwiches are one of my favorites (cucumber, guacamole, sprouts, cream cheese, etc. on toasted bread) You definitely have numerous sandwich ideas - love it.

Thanks Christin, I'll put them on the list!

Lori, I made a lovely panini without a press tonight. Bob was impressed!

Look for the article soon!

Can't wait! Love those toasty paninis!
