A nominee for Ivy Sandwhich,

The Buffalo speciality 'beef on weck'-
thinly sliced rare roast beef on a kummelweck roll ( a kaiser roll with a sprinkle of salt, carraway seeds and rice flour on top ),
the top of the sliced roll dipped in 'au jus' (like a 'french dipped') and the bottom roll spread with hot horseradish (enough to make you sneeze).
It's a drippy and messy combo but very tasty indeed.

It's even celebrated on a tie at O'Connells...

/\ Was the sandwich tasty, was it from a German or Hungarian restaurant?  Chicago is historically porky.

I avoid corn syrup and would like to reduce my sugar consumption too, as well as beef, dairy products and nitrites.  Should be easy.

Besides cane-sugar Coke from the USA what I miss most in the world of soda is Schweppes Bitter Lemon made with real sugar, natural flavors and quinine.  Bitter Lemon is hard to find now and even when you do it's made with corn syrup, as is all non-boutique tonic water here.  Tonic water made with corn syrup is off.  Canada Dry and Schweppes and the other soda makers need to stop pumping us with corn syrup.  And Dr. Brown?  Please lay off the corn syrup in the cream soda, black cherry, and the Cel-Ray tonic already.  I also don't like the taste of saccharin and never use aspartame or other sweetener.

Always liked the San Pellegrino sodas, good stuff.

Also D&G ginger beer, why'd they have to start using artificial flavors?  Real ginger's too costly obviously.  At least the Ting grapefruit soda is still real for the time being.

I use honey and brown sugar and white caster sugar, all sparingly.  Except when I completely forget all the above and down Cuban coffees which are insanely sugar-laden, with a coco or guayaba pastelito on the side, and go mental.  Also been eating a lot of frozen juice bars, those have a lot of sugar in them.

Back to the Ivy sandwich: Leftover Thanksgiving or other homemade roasted turkey on a Parker House roll with a slice of stuffing, a spoonful of two of cranberry sauce, a bit of mayonnaise, and a grind of black pepper.

One of this planet's great bacon sandwiches is to be found in Canada at Paddington's Pump in the St Lawrence Market in Toronto. Canadian peameal bacon on a warm wheat roll and yep they do have HP sauce available but also comes with a pickle and tomato 'on the side'.
