Sandwich of the Month

Hey y'all. A recent discussion with THP about Cuban sandwich's in another thread has inspired me to begin this thread.

What is a sandwich? According to wiki...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich

I myself shall endeavor to post a Sandwich of the Month for every month. This month I tip my hat to one of my favorite sandwiches, The Cuban.

While I encourage y'all to post up your Cuban for SOTM, for the sake of popularizing the thread, feel free to post your sandwich. Be it BLT, turkey sub, gyro, po'boy, etc.

Some rules.

1 ~ Meet the criteria as linked above according to wiki.

2 ~ True, burgers are sandwiches but as we have other threads devoted to them, we will not include them here in this thread. No burgers.

3 ~ List ingredients and methods of how the sandwich was put together.

4 ~ No matter if it is a classic reuben or tuna salad, include a heat ingredient.

5 ~ Pics are mandatory. Talk is cheap. Show us the money!

6 ~ No tortillas. We have taco threads already, and that also means no stinkin' "wraps".

7 ~ Have fun.

I'll post up my sandwich shortly.

Bon appetit!

C'mon now.
 
What a gip.
 
I was lookin' forward to that po' boy.
 
No matter.
 
I got Jeri's Seafood oysters from Trinity Bay tonight.
 
That'd be Texas oysters.
 
Plah!

I'm gettin' busy aimin' to get lit right now.
 
Then a dunk in the hot tub.
 
After that po' boy will be goin' on.
 
And just because you balked on the shrimp po' boy....
 
 
PICCY'S MANANA!
 
Hey y'all its MANANA!
 
Grabbed some nice oysters at the local Try-N-Save of all places.
 
Texas Trinity Bay oysters from Jeri's Seafoods in Annahuac, TX down by Beaumont.
 

 
I put the oysters in a colander in the sink and let 'em drain for a good hour swishing them around every now and then to drain off the excess water. Were I making a chowder I'd save and use the liquor.
 
I broke out the recessed comal and fired up some canola oil. 
 
While that was heating up I mixed up a 50/50 batch of corn flour and wheat flour for the dredge.
 
Just before dredging the oysters I toasted a whole wheat bun and dressed it with jalapeno ranch, roma toms, and pickled jalapeno. You wanna' do that before the oysters fry as it goes very fast and you want to have ever 'thang ready to go to be able to enjoy HOT oysters right out of the fryer on the po' boy.
 

 
I love this 'thang even more than frying in cast iron.
 

 
Oh hell yeah!
 

 
How you like me now?
 

 
Briny. Sweet. Hot. Crunchy munchy. Tangy. And no stankin' lettuce.
 

 
'Lawd have mercy!
 
I gotta' do a repeat on this.
 
It was Sofa King good!!!!
 
Much obliged JHP.
 
It ain't no front to not like too many tomato's, just like I don't like lettuce on burgers or sammich's.
 
Here's a couple more pics for no damn reason.
 

 
There is very little oil as you can see on the paper towel and what is there is mostly from the screened ladle I used to pick the oysters from the fryer.
 
When the temp is right and good oil is used very little oil soaks into the breading. Frying doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy eats all the time.
 

 
One of the best thangs I've eaten this year.
 
Looks like Smokestack Lightnin'.
 
Shinin' like gold.
 

 
 
 
Last night in The Blues Kitchen.
 
Oyster Po' Boy Part Duh!
 
Got me another dozen Jeri's Seafood Oysters.
 
Trinity Bay, Annahuac.
 
Corn and wheat flour dredge and into the recessed comal.
 
Here's the beauty of this 'thang. It holds the heat so even and well I can dump all 12 oysters in at once no problemo.
 
Dig.
 

 
The rim has a slight angle that allows the varmints to drain after frying while staying beaucoup hot.
 

 
Went in a differnt' direction for this one. A toasted whole wheat roll with canola/olive oil mayo and a simple coleslaw with only rice wine and a wee bit of sugar. (no actual wee was involved).
 
Loaded ever 'thang on and splooged some Insane Chicken's Big Pecker Hab Sauce all up in they 'thang.
 
I just cracked the bottle of Big Pecker and tried a couple spoons of the stuff. Not too much heat but big flavor and no chalky after taste which I don't like. Nice sweet sauce that paired extremely well with this sammich.
 

 
It's smilin' atchoo'.
 

 
I pity tha' fool that don't like dis.
 

 
After two big bites all was right with the world.
 

 
Hot sauce and cabbage was flyin' ever where like bats under the Congress St. Bridge in Austin.
 

 
Now when's the last time y'all had an oyster po'boy like dat?
 
Well that's too long!
 
 
 
Daggum that looks good.

So you dug the Big Pecker I sent. And used on an aphrodisiac!

:lol:

I absolutely dug it big time.
 
Reminded me a lot of Mae Ploy only with a slight vinegar zing and more heat.
 
I've already killed 2/3 of the bottle.
 
Like McDonalds.
 
I'm lovin' it.
