Turkey Sandwiches (thelemmy.club)

It's a crisp 83°f (28.3c) in the house. I decided I was definitely not turning on any heat source for dinner. Which isn't cheap. Cost per person: $6.41

What did you all put on it?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Honey turkey, Colby Jack, cucumber, brown mustard, mayo, Greek seasoning, black pepper.

My wife described it as "the most bland thing you have ever served me without my input."

Was about to comment on this lol:

"Cooking"? Looks more like assembly to me. 😂

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Sometimes that's all you got in you.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Dude I hear that.

Family is away for a few days. I ordered a family-sized pizza that I intend to live off for the duration of their trip.

As hot as it is that sounds like a great idea. Cold for breakfast. Hot for lunch and dinner.

Sounds amazing, whats her spin on a non-bland preparation? Is your wife a sugar fiend oe something?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

She is from western Pennsylvania. Before I met her she was one of those "mayo is spicy" people.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Im not familiar with the area

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Think very close to Ohio, lots of Amish, absolutely zero ability to add seasoning to anything.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Was she complaining about the blandness or was she joking its how she likes it and can handle it and you succeeded?

It looks like a tasty sandwich with more ingredients that I usually use in aggregate for my sandwiches which I find not unflavorful, I dont get why she would complain about that in this context tho.

Was she imploring you to do better next time?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

I think it was shock that I didn't try to punch it up. No red wine vinegar, spicy mayo, hidden pickles, slaw topping, or other elements. Just a sandwich like anyone might make. She wasn't complaining. Just a bit mystified.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Did you punch it down it down in your opinion or did you just learn she doesnt like all that stuff?

Sorry to psychoanalyze y'all lmao, just seemed bizarre to me

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

It was hot. I just needed a basic sandwich.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Right? Makes sense. Cuccumbers are so refreshing in that respect also

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

We have traded lettuce for cucumbers for most sandwiches. Partly because it's a better flavor that can still offer crunch but also because my wife considers cucumbers a food group.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Both are awesome together, cuccumbers have such an oddly pleasing and palatable almost umami flavor or mouth feel in their own respect, very hydrating too
