I've got no issue. I was just gigging you about discovering the sloppy joe and the frito pie. I think the terms you somehow found for those things are funny/weird and so I went for the "spike is a rube when it comes to southern food" angle.

Looks like it.

Out

who hurt you?

Never cared for sloppy joes. And the sauce in that one is made with mayo, so double yuck.

Spike, we good?

While I’d categorize the Manna as a loose meat sandwich, it is certainly not a Sloppy Joe.

Olive branch: retracted.

unreal

You must think I'm some sort of Moline moron of the south.

Man, Reid coming in hard on spike in this thread. Everything ok Reid?

All good. It's not that serious, rudd-o

I just ate an overpriced pork belly banh mi that was very good.

is a banh mi just an asian sloppy joe?

lol

See ruddo! I'm not the one egging it on here.

here's an egg on a sloppy joe

That ketchup strategy is vexing.

looks more like a Floppy Joe

The only banh mi I've ever eaten have been overpriced. Which is weird considering the origins of the po' boy. Maybe it's a bit of a fad?

Banh mi and po boys share the same type of bread. They also have roots as a staple of the working class and have never been expensive to make, so they should never be expensive to purchase. Unless you're upgrading them with quality local ingredients that are more expensive for a restaurant to stock. Like the heritage pork belly banh mi I overpaid for on this page.

See the food forum price index thread for what the average price of a banh mi should be, give or take your local economy.

In general, how many slices of deli meat (sliced to sandwich thinner thickness) do you put on a sandwich?
