Sandwichspace 47 & 48

Finally scrapple hits the sandwichspace grid. For those outside PA, scrapple is a mix of blended up pig parts and cornmeal. You fry it up crispy in oil and it's crunchy, salty, and tasty. Seems like a possible good fit for this. One big downside is that you kind of have to baby it, keeping a close eye on it as it cooks. Overcooked is very crunchy but has an unpleasant burnt flavor. Undercooked will lack that nice crunch. So I don't have the energy for this in the mornings. For this sandwich I used some I cooked the night before. It was good, and crunchy, but only like a 7/10, so I think not worth the extra effort.

Appearance 5/10, not really pretty.

Flavor 6/10. Nothing to write home about.

Today was just a handful of fresh spinach, sauteed down, two eggs, broken in the pan and quasi-scrambled up. Three thin slices of pepper jack and focaccia bread. The only thing I did differently was heavily butter both slices of toasted focaccia. That makes it better for sure.

Appearance 7/10. How much of the appearance is just lighting?

Flavor 7/10, I was pretty hungry, and this hit the spot perfectly. How much of this rating was that it was hot off the stove instead of sitting an hour in foil? Some. Yesterday's sandwich should not have been at least a 7, but it just wasn't as good.

So I went did a 24 hour sous vide cook of a 3 lb eye round of beef. Turned out very much like a nice tender roast beef.

The color in this pic is not appetizing at all! Lol. But The beef was good and I used a slab of it on my breakfast sandwich.

I mean... I guess I did. I know I did but you can't see it at all. Anyway, the roast beef slab was good and meaty and thick and a very appealing part of the sandwich. 8/10. But a lot of work for it.

Vegetarian, the meat was hardly missed.

Pepper jack and cheddar, heavy cheese presence.

Vegetarian again? Or was there a slice of sous vide chicken in there? Who can say.

Ok, this one is pretty. Pepper jack, no meat.

Appearance 8/10. And the photo did it justice.

Flavor 7/10. Very good. Satisfying. I am beginning to think we have a winner. I may just run it up to 49 for the 7x7 grid combined pic, then do a final one of just the winner for number 50. I may need to round it all out with brioche and scrapple, because those need to be in the running.
