crazy sandwiches

[hondabbq]

When I was a kid my mom made us oven sandwiches.
plain white bread with Miracle Whip, cheese, and that tear drop shaped can ham in thick slices.
Wrap that up in tin foil and bake until heated through. 400F for about 20 mins.
Bread is crunchy and cheese is gooey. Love em to this day.
I think Ill make some this weekend.

You can certainly *make* top-shelf gourmet stuff but I think you are then legally required to use a snooty-sounding French name (like rillettes or pâté en terrine). The snootiness determines the fanciness.

In a pot with a lid, simmer meat & fat with a bit of aromatics/herbs/spices - in wine and/or broth, ideally, though water works, too - until sufficiently tender, then shred (by hand, in a stand mixer, or in a food processor, depending on preferred texture) and refrigerate. Serve on bread with pickled veg. Also, small jars of it make great gifts.

My education continues...

I'll look into it...thanks!
