Sandwich Draft 2017 (One Sandwich)

Saint Cy of JFC said:
No one has drafted a fried egg.

The current egg variations drafted are:

Egg and now Sunny Side Up.

A fried egg over hard is sufficiently different than Sunny side up but one over easy is not.

Over easy has a flip but still a runny yolk, over hard has a flip and a cooked yolk.
 
Cy is ****ing this up royally.

Wes drafted eggs and it was not stated at the beginning that you had to specify the way it is going to be prepared.

I also don't think the caramelized onions should count nor the Emmental cheese.

The picks are less valuable if you let extremely similar alternatives to them be drafted.

Nobody brought up anything about the eggs to begin with but now almost 40 picks in we're going to change it?

I thought about gruyere. If the emmental had been disallowed, I probably would have gone with Jarlsberg.

Love all of the Swiss style cheeses. Jarlsberg is great. I wish I could get these cheeses here for a reasonable price. In Germany I bought awesome Emmentaler and Jarlsberg for just a few euros for a decent sized hunk. Here it's like it's a craft style cheese or something is always so expensive.

Didn't someone in the All-Time draft have Jordan and Hakeem?

Glass houses much

I agree with that assessment. But if you are focusing on a specific flavor profile and need a textural element iceberg could work quite well and not mask the flavors you are trying to put together. It depends on how it fits on the whole really. I just think that iceberg gets a bad rap because so many people try to be edgy or modern or original or whatever you want to call it, but it can still be perfectly fine in the right application.

Personally I prefer spinach or butter lettuce on a sandwich in general, but if I am just making a quick turkey or lunchmeat sandwich or something to take to work iceberg works fine.

iceberg lettuce is the best lettuce to put on a peanut butter sandwich


Can you imagine a peanut butter sandwich with spinach? Perhaps, but only if you're name is Popeye.

It's a fluid thing done for fun. The only thing I want is people making unique and creative sandwiches (which failed because most of you have the creativity of a cinder block). The only rules I ever presented where the 6 categories that needed to be filled. In drafts drafting uniquely is basically implied, but to fully explain the extent of what is different enough from certain things would be to exhausting to attempt to fully cover before anyone drafted as I cant foresee everything. I thought people would be mature enough to do it on a case to case, pick to pick basis, but I guess not.

Caramelized onions and regular onions are sufficiently different enough to be drafted. I have no problem saying that and I know that to be true. There was also the thing with a variation on swiss cheese being taken which we allowed.

The egg thing was more of a question to me, which is why I brought it up just to be consistent. I gave Wes the chance to specify it before anyone else drafted, and he just wanted to throw a tantrum.

And the different ways eggs can be used arent extremely similar. Scrambled eggs are markedly different than a boiled egg or a fried egg or an egg white.

Jalapeño cream cheese.

If I can't have jalapeño cream cheese because jalapeños have already been drafted then I'll just take some hot and spicy cream cheese. Cy, it's up to you.

I used to fry spinach with Cashews and Almonds. Super yummy. I imagine peanut butter and spinach would be nice.

I just think it completely devalues picks and makes it so no strategy is involved.

Is it ok for someone to pick rotisserie chicken?

you see this ain't that hard
 
I'd prefer people to be creative and not pick cheap work arounds, but I don't see the point in policing it too hard.

The whole reason I pointed out the egg thing was just consistency for the onion thing.

And it was entertaining watching Wes cry.
