Hey! Very similar sandwiches are the topic of today’s Everyday Food email. Except those were “italian pork sandwiches” and had mozzarella. Yummy.

How about the good old pot roast, with carrots, potatoes, onions and the celery for flavor (I never did like eating the celery, but I LOVE the carrots cooked this way, more than potatoes). And brats for every summer family get-together. Beer on side of course. We are a kind of meat heavy group, huh? Then my favorite all time summer meal…Fresh sweet corn with butter and on the side sliced tomatoes and the above mentioned cucumber/vinegar (with a touch of sugar) salad and I don’t remember anything else with that meal, so I guess we had a few vegetarian leanings during the summer months.

I’ve never heard of this before, and I’m a Midwesterner through and through. I will recommend a few Midwest favorites, though — strawberry rhubarb pie (or really rhubarb anything), cucumber/vinegar salad (gotta trust the Sons of Norway recipe!), and deep-fried cheese curds.

Hey! I’m so glad that I found your blog! This looks fantastic! I had one of these when i was out at the Iowa State Fair a few summers ago, but I am from Philly, so no, I did not grow up with these either. I’m inspired to make one though. Seems like an easy to prep and cook later dinner. I also completely relate to your commenting about not letting other people take over your kitchen. I don’t even like it when my roommates cook sometimes–it doesn’t happy that often. Can’t wait to read more!

the lettuce definitely added to its greatness. and iceberg was appropriately midwestern. ;)

Aw, cool! I’m a Midwesterner, and I miss my Cool Whip desserts. Too bad I live in a vegetarian house now, or I’d give this a try.

I second your meat-pounding recommendation, for all similar meat-frying. We pound the crap out of our meat. (?!) Also – the condiments thing cracks me up. Re: condiments, clearly I live in the midwest but am not *from* here, as I agree – that sounds like cold iceberg lettuce and mayo would go great.
