Subj, you're brining the sandwiches to the TTLG Picnic this year.

on account of the fluid flow going on up in here.:D
I would think there would be quite a considerable amount of fluid flow where you are concerned, and prehaps some acute tendonitis in your wrist.:laff:

Hey, I buy
good quality veggie burgers. I had a bite of my girlfriend's cheeseburger (not a euphemism) a couple of weeks ago because she couldn't finish it, first time I intentionally ate meat. The taste was pretty damn close although there was a certain indefinable quantity to the real thing which I couldn't put my finger on. Probably connective tissue or something.
Oh man, that reminds me, back at my uni at our cafeteria grill section they had those soy chicken patties. Dear lord, they were the most amazing vegan product i've ever tasted. me and a few of my friends would routinely order that (despite being big meat eaters) just because it tastes so amazing.

Yep. It's like banging a real girl instead of a blow-up doll. :p
Seriously though, I wonder what the specific, real difference is. Like I said, in Taiwan I had this Buddhist chicken which was 100% veggie. It had skin on it and the "meat" was striated like real chicken. It was tasty, obviously of a tofu base but with meaty "feel" to it and slightly sweet.
It most certainly wasn't meat though and I can't explain why. I
know it wasn't meat because it was in one of the hard-core Buddhist places the monks go to eat and they'd flip out if they were found to have been duped, I'm sure.
Odd that I can't put my finger on what was un-meatish about it. I reckon it's some neurobiological nuance, like nature just telling me "oh hell no don't think that be
real meat, yo". And it's for this reason that I find meat eating just... natural. I eat a lot of non-meat stuff and by that I mean vegetables not bread, rice or pasta. In fact I often eat just meat and veg and so I make a lot of effort to get them right. This is also why I'm not
that keen on sandwiches with masses of bread; it's all about the filling.

Aah chill man, he's just having a joke (I'm pretty sure he just means it looks like you'd sprain a wrist trying to pick that KING OF SANDWICHES up).

Looks like a really labor-intensive way to make what's essentially a cheesesteak.... without cheese.

Damn it. I have some weird genetic defect that makes philly cheese steaks irresistible. Off to the store for some hoagie rolls, steak-ums, and cheez whiz.

I'd love a recipe for a cheesesteak, I've heard of them but never had one.
And the most labour intense part of that was dicing the shallots and mushrooms. The rest was easy, just frying the mushroom mix and the steaks. I made it at 6.30pm and opened it at 9am the next day.
The hardest part was the waiting. :p
Edit - having looked up cheesesteak recipes I'm pretty sure this is nothing like it. It's much more like a beef wellington.
