Tell Me Your Sandwich

[Standard]

Man these all sound good! I am thrown back to my childhood where you could set up to a lunch counter in a five and dime, or a dept. store, and order what some folks call a "Made right" or a Sub, or a Hoagie...

Here in the Midwest, especially west-central Illinois a "Maid Rite" is a completely different sandwich from a sub, torpedo, hoagie, grinder, etc. A "Maid Rite" is made from ground beef. The meat is cooked in a large pot with no fat or water added, but is steamed in its own juices. The meat is stirred often as it cooks so that the finished product is not at all clumped together. The meat is then scooped onto a bun and mustard, ketchup, onion and pickle are applied. In some areas it is called a "Loose Meat" sandwich. For the uninitiated the easliest way to picture the sandwich is to picture a sloppy joe sandwich without the sloppy. It's one great tasting sandwich, and brings back memories of childhood everytime I have one. http://www.maid-rite.com/aboutus/unique.shtml
