Lunch (10 years ago)

[bertine]

Today I am craving what I ate for lunch at the theatres when I could afford it. I would go to Big City Bagels (aka Bagel Hut) and get a salted bagel with pepperjack cheese over it and lettuce, tomato and onion on it.

I want that so badly right now. Too bad Big City Bagel isn't even there anymore.

That sounds tasty. Or rather, it would sound tasty if I were not feeling so queasy.

i MISS BAGELS...WE GET A CRUDE ATTEMPT AT THEM HERE AND EVEN THEN THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SALMON CREAM CHEESE AND CAPERS BIT

Oh, I forgot the best part. They would put a pickle in it and wrap it all up.

I MISS IT SO MUCH.

I don't think I have a bagel like that ever. :P

you don't know what your missing...then again you don't venture out on the freaky foods much (eaten any oysters lately?)

I'm so pissed that Bruegger's don't have pepperjack anymore! I've asked them if I can bring my own cheese in, but they seemed... less than enthusiastic.

Hey, I am from Minnesota, we don't really do freaky foods. :P (nope)

Bruegger's had pepperjack? I didn't know that. I don't think I have been to Bruegger's (or had a bagel) in years.

Freaky is relative. :)

They used to until about 6 months ago, but they said it's "not very popular." Apparently muenster cheese IS popular. I don't know where they're getting that from...

Brueggers is really the only fast food kinda place I go to anymore. It's kinda like a Friday Tradition thing.

I have a love of chipotle. I swear they put something in it to make you crave it. Otherwise I am too cheap to eat at fast food places.

How is muenster more popular than pepperjack?

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

There's no chipotle anywhere near me, so the temptation is marginal. Also I hear there's beef fat in the beans.

I too questioned the muenster thing, and they said something about how it's popular everywhere except "down south", where the most popular cheese is provolone.

Personally I think they need a new research company.

The have beef fat in the pinto beans but not the black beans. However, I don't worry about that stuff too much.

I actually like provolone a lot but for a sandwich I would prefer pepperjack melted over a bagel with the veggies squished into it.

except lutafisk

[bertine.livejournal.com]

No one actually eats that. :P

[eyelikebigbutts.livejournal.com]

I bet Bjarne Henry Henriksen does...

[eyelikebigbutts.livejournal.com]

my mind is wandering to a lutefisk bento box

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Or a swedish one? It could have pickled herring in it.

[eyelikebigbutts.livejournal.com]

or a hairy pickle

I don't have a problem with provolone, I just don't buy that people in Alabama are going "Where's ma provolone?" at Brueggers.
