    Me, too. I have yet to find a restaurant that knows how to prepare a half-decent, tender cigarette butt.

    They should outlaw shredded lettuce on sandwiches. Just sayin'. It should be leaf lettuce.

    No, I bought a sandwich that had shredded lettuce on it. Shredded lettuce on sandwiches is not good. Well, maybe on some sandwiches it's ok, but say for example, a BLT. Would you want shredded lettuce on a BLT?

    I actually preferred shredded lettuce.


    Except on a BLT. Then it should be whole leaf. IMO.

    I, too, prefer shredded lettuce.

    Dude, this is the holiday food thread!

    I actually was looking for the Foodie thread, but I guess that was in the old PE. I believe there should be such a thread here, but I didn't want to start it, thinking we'd be told it should be taken to FaceBook.

    You people who prefer shredded lettuce are sick. Shredded lettuce is watery and tasteless, and doesn't add the texture that leaf lettuce adds. I'm right.

    Except the Yes threads. Those are about off-world problems.

    One of my favorite sandwiches as a kid was lettuce (not shredded), mayonnaise and mustard.

    Hoagies are best with shredded lettuce. And, yes, they are sandwiches, so no debate needed. Regular sandwiches, IMO, are best with leaf, which has more crunch.

    I'm not sure how shredding it would make it any more watery or tasteless than whole leaf. It's the same thing.

    I agree on most hoagies shredded lettuce is good. I think shredding the lettuce releases water, and it can wilt pretty quickly too. Anyway, today I had a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with tomato and mayo, and it had shredded lettuce, which IMO was totally inappropriate.

    Mayo makes almost Any sandwich unpalatable. Except for tuna/chicken/crab/shrimp/etc salad and those should have just a little with mustard.

    I once survived for a week on nothing but grubs, puddle water and shredded lettuce.

    How do you feel about Russian dressing on Roast Beef? Or turkey, for that matter?

    As much as I love mayo (and Hellman's is the best, IMO), I pretty much eliminated it from my diet. I tend to only use some Italian dressing on my sandwiches now.

    I am not a fan of sweet condiments on meat sandwiches. Honey mustard and it's bastard siblings too.
    I see Russian as mayo with ketchup and relish.
    A good chutney I can deal with
    I am more into savory and hot or spicy with the lightest of sweet.

    Shredded lettuce is fine provided it is fresh. If the restaurant uses pre-bagged stuff, it tastes gross.

    With shredded lettuce you get shredded cigarette filter.

    What? Did we skip Thanksgiving? Let's kick it off for this Christmas (there've been a few potato latkes in-between):

    So my wife is doing roast beef and Yorkshire pudding for Christmas dinner. She's pretty good at it. My 19-year-old son was vegetarian for the past year, but recently went off the wagon, and this is his favorite so he requested it. Bring it on! We have a pretty nice rib roast being delivered tomorrow.

    She also ordered a pre-made traditional Christmas pudding from England for dessert. God bless us every one!

    I have a turkey breast brining, waiting to be smoked tomorrow. I'll also be making moinks (meatballs wrapped in bacon, smoked, and then tossed with BBQ sauce - courtesy of Steve (Pindral Progger) - remember him?). We'll also be having ham, kielbasa and pierogies. Yes, we're Polish.
