Should You Eat Ramen on Toast?

I don’t know when it happened, but at some point we—as a society—decided that it was indecent to consume a carbohydrate on or in another carbohydrate. There are some exceptions, such as Taco Bell’s now retired spicy potato soft taco and the UK’s chip butty, but in most circles, carb-on-carb is a fairly rare configuration.

Potatoes are the easiest to get away with. Both the taco and butty (which is British for “odd little sandwich”) I mention above use potato as the “filling carb,” and a wheat-based carb as the delivery system. Getting two wheat-based carbs involved, on the other hand, feels awkward—but that’s exactly what reader Kurt suggested I do.

That’s crazy talk.

Spaghetti sandwiches are yumersville.

A properly made Chicago Italian Beef sandwich is a gift from The Almighty.

With hot peppers and jus on the side for dipping.

Mmmmm.

I put potato chips in my sandwiches to give them more pep.

Colombian hot dogs have crushed potato chips on them as part of the recipe.

While stationed in Korea found these pastries filled with noodles. Awesome. Never found them again. Found what looked like them. But they were always filled with bean curd. Hated that stuff. But that first one I found was one of the best things I have ever eaten.
