Lincoln Log Sandwich
Anny Middon
Williams in that Slate.com commentary about The Sopranos. Williams had
remarked that Carm fixing the sandwiches brought back memories, and Timothy
Noah asked what the sandwiches were.
Here's what Williams responded:
"...Would that my mother were here to defend herself. She went to her reward
years ago, and with her went the Lincoln Log recipe. During what has been a
painful day of culinary reminiscence on my part, all I can recall were Oscar
Mayer "frankfurters" (as my dad still calls them, I believe in deference to
the Supreme Court justice) split suggestively down the middle (I never
watched that part, because as with lobsters, I was never really sure they
were dead) and then slathered-in our version-lengthwise in mayonnaise. I
know. How do you think I feel? That was my life in north Jersey. They made
for a handy, portable heart attack on a bun. Enough aggressively bad food in
a fist-size package to give the eater/victim instant angina (and this was
years before he got voted off American Idol) if not worse. I remember we had
to get a certain kind of bun-the Pepperidge Farm "New England cut"-so that
when splayed open it presented more like a double-thickness slab of Wonder
Bread. On the dog would go copious amounts of mayo-and in some houses, cream
cheese. Always Breakstone's. My mom later developed some tsoris over the
quality of the Oscar Mayers, so we switched to Hebrew Nationals."

Lincoln Log is a split dog, with cream cheese and probably on white
bread.

Hell, and I thought such a concoction was simply necessity back in the
day when I was a poor undergraduate. Had I known that I was indulging
in some haute cusine, I perhaps would not have been so testy or bitter.

My mom used to make those for us in California. I have a feeling it was
a promotional recipe from a Pillsbury ad. We loved them.

My favorite dish during my poor undergrad days was - this is a little sick -
a can of tuna over noodles with a spoonfull of either butter or italian
dressing.
It sounds disgusting - but sometimes I actually get an urge for it now and I
still make it from time to time.

I've never heard goyim use the word tsoris and goyim don't eat hebrew
national in New York, either. They eat sabrett, nathan's, or oscar
meyer.

Just as a matter of curiosity, why don't goyim eat Hebrew National in
NY? I just put them on my list, after reading about them, and seeing the
commercials, because it seemed that they might not have some of the
disgusting junk, and as much fat, as regular hotdogs, but not be as
tasteless as, say, Healthy Choices.

The HN package claims 100% all beef content. As for NYC goyim not
preferring HN hot dogs, it's just a cultural thing. It's like Jews
prefer Fox's U-bet chocolate syrup to others. It's just the way it is.

But those don;t have the all important cheese inserted in the split dog.

Ah, but they do. From der wiki:
"In the United States, the term "pigs in a blanket" refers to hot dogs,
Vienna sausages, or link sausages wrapped in biscuit dough or crescent-roll
dough, and baked. A common variation is to slit the hot dog or sausage and
stuff it with cheese before wrapping in dough. The dough is sometimes
homemade, but canned dough is most common."
I still like the darn things.
