Recommended Posts

Been eating some Italian inspired sandwiches lately.

  1. Big crusty bloomer roll or crusty baguette.
  2. Layer with provolone on each side of the bread and then a couple of slices of these meats; prosciutto, parma, capicola, coppa ham
  3. Add some lettuce and sliced tomato inside, salt and pepper too.
  4. Repeat step 2.
  5. Chuck in the oven for 5 minutes at 200.

Salut!

Theres a Chinese in Lincoln that is called Legal food. Not once have I ever been tempted because of the name. There slogan is probably 'theres no dog meat, honest.'
