"Guy" Foods

But… the microwave makes the crust all gummy and the cheese all greasy. Ick. If you’re gonna reheat it, at least put it in the oven or toaster oven.*

*not the upright slot toasters. Terrible idea.

I should have mentioned peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. Definitely a guy food, and only for the few and the proud.

But when you order it in Wisconsin, in January, that bumps it back up.

I was on a buisiness trip in Waukesha and commented to someone how the folks there were either fat or skinny…he said the skinny ones were just visiting.

There seems to be a strong relationship between man food and coronary issues.

AMEN!

Although I should confess that I learned the secret of PB and mayo from a female classmate eons ago. Of course, she put lettuce in the middle, which lowers the guy quotient some.

You and Chefguy have reminded me of the Mayo/PB combo from my younger days. Experimentation with things lying about the kitchen, when Mama was not there to see to the task, yielded many such concoctions that my brother and I would put together.

Another favorite from those days was a peanut sandwich where the mayo-lathered white bread was covered with crushed peanuts (couple handfulls of salted nuts rolled up in a towel and beat with a hammer until they were molecular sized). Depending on the available foodstuffs, this might involve a slice of tomato, some cheese, celery stalks, bacon, banana, scrambled eggs, cherries, bologna, and/or other things most people, including me these days, might find repulsive or nauseating.
