Just Loafing Around....

American food establishments tend to trip all over each other copying new ideas in food.  The latest one I am seeing is all the chain restaurants offering 'Artisan Breads' and 'Artisan Style Sandwiches'.  What the heck is 'Artisan Bread'?


For some reason, when I think of 'Artisan Breads', my mind first wanders to the surrealists.   Like a Picasso BLT...

Somehow, just not making my mouth water.

I suppose  we could go to the Pop Art school, but the Warhol Patty Melt just seems so sterile and unappetizing. 


Impressionist PB&J may sound interesting, but I have to be able to trust the hands that put it together....did you wash your hands Toulouse before you spread the jelly? That open sour on the side of  your head looks nasty.

Maybe I am a bit more old fashioned, The Dutch Masters do put together a good loaf....but we need a little flavor here dudes? 


I thought about going back to the prehistoric artisans who really seemed to know how to hunt down a good Club Sandwich...

I dunno....maybe I can do without the artisan bread.  I don't know what Ciabatta even means.  A Baguette sounds a bit like some kind of feminine product. Not sure I want that in my mouth. A Brioche sounds like the thing you pin on your Grandma's bosom, but not something you actually want to eat.  I think I am ok with just some old fashioned toasted white bread...thank you very much. 

When you hear the toaster pop, can you pass me some of that gourmet designer mayo and mustard please? 


Cheers, nca....
