Pepper-and-egg sandwiches
Sandwiches
With the proliferation of cooking, travel and cooking-travel shows on TV, and with the Internet and food blogs, not to mention all the magazines and pamphlets at the grocery checkout stand, I'm always mildly surprised when someone has never heard of a particular regional or ethnic food. In the Pacific Northwest, I was taken aback to learn that some Italian Catholic neighbors had never heard of P & E. Neither have the people I work with, nor the three Italian restaurants within walking distance of the house. Apparently, the recipe for this Lenten special never made it over the Continental Divide. My friend Tony from high school in Chicago (this is how far back we go: his user name--DagoT--used to be his CB handle) always ordered his "wid" hot peppers: that is okay. Just don't try to gussy it up with a roasted red pepper mayonnaise; as Tony likes to say, "It's good, but it ain't right."
