DELI DELIGHT
That is a completely new one on me! I've never heard it before. In what part of the country would you have asked for a "Deli Delight" with turkey, ham, and veggies?

Stay tuned. I think I'm going to ask for descriptions of your favorite sandwiches in another thread!

OK,here is a question for the sandwich gang.
A sandwich I remember from years ago in the New England area. They would hollow out the center of the bread bun from one end.
Then fill it with a warm flavored ground meat concoction. Similar to but not exactly like Sloppy Joe meat.
They were warm and delicious.
Anybody remember this? What was it called?
When I was a kid, this was a "Sloppy Joe Grinder", but I'm sure there's a specific word for it. The meat mix didn't have chili seasoning, at least as far as I recall?

Had never heard of such a thing. We had hamburgers and hot dogs. Visiting my cousins in Connecticut opened a whole new world!!! On the way there, I ordered a ham sandwich and they put BUTTER on it. Didn't know what I'd bitten. I've really, really enjoyed learning about ethnic foods.
The originator, Matts Bar @ 3500 Cedar Ave S, Minneapolus, named it Jucy Lucy and had it on their menu a good number of years before others discovered it and started the 'copy cat' game. But they could not use Jucy but could use Juicy. Jucy does not appear in our 1982 dictionary, so it is an invented word and protected by copyright. I am waiting for one of our Thai or Indian restuarants to come up with their version.

I have been baking sourdough baguettes lately, and they have come out quite well, if I do say so. The biggest factor, I think, has been getting a professional proofing box with a temperature control that can maintain within a two degree temperature range. Now I'm thinking about it so much that I'll probably have to pick up a baguette and some cheese on the way home - no time to bake on a weeknight!
Weekends - à bientôt

A French baker around here told me that the flower is the main thing, sometimes you have to try a few to get the result, tender and crusty.

Thanks for the response.
Correct, no chili. They were great on a cold evening.

Okay, so it's a specific sandwich, not a general term like "sub" or "hero". Lots of the generic names started that way. I remember some great Middle Eastern joints from the last time I was in Detroit. Worcester also has a large population from that area; the Schwarma Palace downstairs from my office is a favorite lunch spot.

I knew about the spelling of Jucy, but had forgotten it. Nice story!
