This months theme of my team meeting special topic is favorite book or podcast. I have narrowed it down to five of each...

There was a list with a different sandwich for every state and Iowa’s was the loose meat sandwich which I get and think makes sense.

But their description was “flavorful ground beef topped with sautéed onions, paprika, and cheese.”

What’s normally considered a traditional loose meat sandwich? I thought it was ground beef, onions, salt, and then maybe pickles and mustard (I couldn’t remember if those were a part of it because because I would get them with just the onions)?

Not exactly sure.

Naw, gotta be a ham and egg sandwich. When you produce more hogs and eggs than any other state, you gotta stand true to yourself

I think loose meat sandwiches work best because I feel like that’s something that you don’t see nearly as much outside of Iowa. Kind of like Wisconsin should have been a butter burger or cannibal/wildcat sandwiches (a raw minced beef sandwich on rye with diced onions) for Wisconsin.

They also could have given us a pork tenderloin, but they gave that to Indiana and again put a ton of unnecessary toppings on it.

Yeah their description was off IMO.

Flavorful is way out of line.

Chili cook-off at work today. The afternoon could get a little dice-y in the office.
Got me in the mood for Chili now. May need to go grab some groceries when I do a bill pay run. Not sure what the wife has planned but it may be back burner as I make some.

That’s what I thought. I’m not a purest, but I wouldn’t include cheese (and paprika) when describing a loose meat sandwich.

Kind of like how I wouldn’t include bbq sauce or onion strings if I had to describe a hamburger, even though both of those things are great additions.
