    When I worked at Subway, there was a woman who would get the BLT, but she’d want us to put the bacon in the toaster oven and literally burn it. As in, like, turn it into charcoal. One time I left it in until it was nothing but black dust and tiny glowing red embers, and she said it was the best she’d ever had.

    As for the strangest thing that’s actually good, I think my tuna sandwich takes that one: flatbread, tuna, pepper jack cheese, double extra bacon, lettuce, spinach, onions, tomatoes, one line of mayo, one line of sweet onion sauce, one line of roasted garlic aioli.

    I personally don’t think that’s too far out there, but everyone I mention it to thinks I’m nuts 🤷‍♂️

        She was not pregnant, but she may have been suffering from some deficiency - nutritional or otherwise

        Cool, TIL it’s called pica. My grandma apparently had that as she was pregnant with my mom, she would eat pieces of mortar that had fallen off of buildings…

      I mean it’s a little odd having both lettuce and spinach i guess, but the sandwich sounds totally normal to me., and maybe something I’d order.

          I have an unlimited toppings pizza place near me, and my new GoTo has been my own take on a Hawaiian. Either salami or Canadian bacon (they have no prosciutto), bacon, pineapple, roasted garlic, red onion, and a balsamic drizzle, on top of mozzarella and asiago. I imagine many would consider that weird, but it is divine, and I’m clearly a culinary genius.

            Sounds pretty good to me. Might try to get my local place to try this.

      My go to was sauce from the meatballs, chicken, bacon, onions, peppers, shredded cheese x2, toasted twice for footlong or toasted for footlong if 6in. Italian seasoning.

      Rings up as a chicken bacon ranch and costs half what it’d cost to add the toppings to a chicken, and you end up with a pretty good pizza.
