A sandwich fit for The King (Dieters DO NOT read!!!)

Postby markraine » Mon Aug 20, 2007 8:34 pm

For some reason I found out about one of Elvis's favourite sandwiches today. Basically it was called the Fool's Gold Loaf and it was a hollowed out white loaf filled with a jar each of peanut butter, grape jam (jelly), and a pound of crispy bacon. This was then slathered in butter and baked until golden!
The finished product contained around 5,000 kcal.
I decided for some reason to make a modified version with (smaller quantities of) peanut butter, blackcurrant jam (grape is hard to come by in the UK) and bacon, all in a finger roll.
It was great!!!!
The ingredients all worked really well together and in short it was not the claggy, sickly mess that I expected it to be.
Just don't eat too many of them.
Walk the walk, don't talk the talk!!

Yum! Sounds like a great way to clog an artery!
Spartan is the attitude, not your birthplace.

It was the speciality of a restaurant in Denver called the Denver mine company. Google it, because there's a very famous and amusing story about it!
