I couldn't figure out how to word the topic, but bear with me. I have a question, Black people, and I need yall to help me out. This is long, bear with me, lol.
What I need to know is this: Are there some things that you can only get in some cities? Examples, in Cleveland, we have Polish Boys (Like, spicy kosher hot dogs with french fries, bar-b-q sauce, and cole slaw on top), Ham Fried Rice (at the Chinese restaurants), and we have the BOMB corned beef sandwiches. These are things that people from other places have no clue what we're talkin' about.
Now, I want to tell yall how the corned beef sandwiches are in Cleveland. Then I'm going to tell yall about my horrific experience buying one here in Columbus. I couldn't wait to come ask yall about this.
Ok, in Cleveland, the corned beef is served warm, on rye bread, with swiss cheese melted (if you request) on it, and there is only mustard on the bread. That's it. Meat (a lot, PACKED on the sandwich), cheese, mustard, and RYE bread. It's served with a pickle spear. If they serve them like this in your city, I apologize, but after you read my experience, you'll see why I just had to explain.
Y'all, today, I had to have a corned beef sandwich. I'm going home (to Cleveland) for the holiday on Sunday, but I couldn't wait that long. So off I go, into the "hood" to get me a corned beef sandwich. I order it, with swiss cheese, the lady says, "We don't have swiss cheese." I shoulda left right then. But no, I'm determined I'm gonna get this sandwich. She brings it out, it's in a styrofoam container. Sticking out of the container is lettuce. I was like, WTF? So me and my friend get to the car, we open the containers and were just appalled. The sandwiches were on buns. Deli kaiser type buns. AND, they had mustard, but they also had LETTUCE
wtf, TOMATO
wtf, ONIONS
wtf, and pickles. Not a pickle spear, sliced pickles on the sandwich. I'm tellin you, I was PISSED. Today is the day I truly understood the phrase, There's no place like home.
So, my question is, do yall have corned beef sandwiches in your cities like we have in Cleveland, or is Columbus just wack? I like that word, wack, lol.
And what do you have in your city that if you live somewhere else now, you miss, and can only get it when you go home. Man, when I go to Cleveland, I always get a corned beef sandwich or ham fried rice or a polish boy, no cole slaw. And oh, the ribs at Mt. Pleasant or Hot Sauce Williams.
Sorry about the length.
Is good food always regional?
