«An open sandwich, also known as an open-face/open-faced sandwich, bread baser, bread platter or tartine, consists of a slice of bread or toast with one or more food items on top. It has half the amount of bread of a typical closed sandwich.»

Tartine seems to be the most widely used and proper name here. “Open-faced sandwich” was probably needed to dumb it down for red states.

There's a nice little boutiquey grocer that recently opened here and they have a couple shelves of imported tinned seafood.
I collect them like I used to collect baseball cards..
what are your favorites? I'm a bit overwhelmed because these products all use a lot of spices and whatnot, like octopus with chili oil or something like that
I’ll have to take a look in our cupboard to see what we get. I find tinned fish etc to be wildly all over the place on whether it’s good or not.

*edit, we’ve been getting Fishwife lately, and they seem fairly consistent over their varieties.

Yeah Wildfish is great. They are out of stock a lot recently, but they keep adding new stuff. Their smoked herring and smoked sockeye is great. So is the smoked octopus, but it is always out of stock. Same with the smoked Geoduck. They have a Rockfish with sumac and dill I want to try

Doug I thought we had a canned fish thread but I only find a canned foods thread. Maybe we need to fix that.

I really like TJ’s canned fish as well.

Also Matiz is another good brand.

How do canned fish people feel about canned chicken or canned beef?

If differently, why?

Sending out an SOS?

The term “chipped beef” has always sounded unappealing to me.

I remember John Elway going to the White House and he puked when eating chipped beef on toast with prez bush...I love chipped beef

Things worked out fairly well for Denver, who still managed to win the game against Washington 14-10 anyway. The height of irony, of course, is the man who replaced Elway in that game: Gary Kubiak, the Broncos current head coach.

Elway recalled watching the game to the Gazette and just hoping Kubiak didn't get hurt.

"[Running back Steve] Sewell was the backup quarterback. He didn't work out very well in warmups," Elway said. "I'm lying on the table and they've got a little TV with a coat hanger stuck in as the antenna. I didn't care who won or who lost. All I cared was that Gary got up every time."

i’ve never had real, down-home chipped beef. i reckon you’d have to go to lenny’s maw and paw and they’d whip you up a slice.
