Every writer/columnist ought to have a rival. I think Rivalry is good for America. It spurns innovation. I found recently that my rival is here on Myspace.com. His name is Kirk and he doesn't think the BLT is a sandwich.
Wiktionary.com defines sandwhich as this:
sandwich (plural sandwiches)
1. a snack formed of various ingredients between two slices of bread.
2 any combination formed by layering material of one type between two layers of material of another type.
Kirk believes that bacon is a "topping", rather than a "main indgrediant," and as such should not be classified as a sandwich when placed between two slices of bread. He poses the question, "who's ever heard of a bacon sandwhich?" Who indeed?
In the 1929 Florence A. Cowles book, "Seven Hundred Sandwiches," she gives a recipe for a bacon sandwich. The ingrediants? Two slices of bread, mayo, bacon, lettuce and tomato. The book also mentions a "Bacon Salad Sandwich" and a "Baconian Sandwich."
What's next? Is Kirk going to tell us that he has a funny feeling Wyoming doesn't really exist?
Welcome to my website.
I like to write humorously about my life as a dad, a husband, having a child with autism, and other unrelated non-sequitors. So that pretty much covers everything. Hope that inspires you to, you know, subscribe.
