I pick Sloppy Joes. I'm upset because my school's cafateria took sloppy joes off the menu.

what exactly is a sloppy joe, for the benefit of non-american viewers?

some sandwich shops around here have taken to calling turkey-ham-and-cheese sandwiches "sloppy joes." which is strange, b/c that's NOT what i think of when i think "sloppy joe."

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:15 (twenty-two years ago)

also, a college acquaintance was nicknamed "sloppy joe" b/c, well, he was a bit of a slob. and he liked to spooge on his girlfriends.

Where are these sandwich shops?

I would never eat a sandwich with turkey and ham in it.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:17 (twenty-two years ago)

but it's really good! esp. with swiss cheese!!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate swiss cheese!

Does anyone actually still make a sloppy joe for themselves? I mean, it just seems like something that only your mother can make for you when you're 10.

Or maybe this is where Manwich enters into it?

― may pang (maypang), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:25 (twenty-two years ago)

i do, b/c it's cheap and easy to make.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, that's why I'm upset my school cafiteria won't make them any more.

Eisbär, if you live in northern New Jersey, why are you up so late?

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:27 (twenty-two years ago)

And on a Friday night, too.

― may pang (maypang), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, it's like 1:30 am over there. If you're up that late, why aren't you at a concert or something?

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:30 (twenty-two years ago)

b/c i wasn't tired ... i am now, so i'm outta here real soon.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:30 (twenty-two years ago)

so, the nuns at yer school used to make sloppy joes?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:33 (twenty-two years ago)

The nun's don't work in the cafiteria.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:42 (twenty-two years ago)

yer loss ... nuns are good cooks!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:46 (twenty-two years ago)

How do you know?

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:47 (twenty-two years ago)

because i've eaten food cooked by nuns.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:48 (twenty-two years ago)

When?

What was it?

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:50 (twenty-two years ago)

There is far too much sugar in many of the sloopy joe sauce mixes out there. Combined with the large amount of fat in the hamburger-like ground meat can be a dangerous mix for adolescent Catholics.

I had a weird dream last night and there were sloppy joes, well, sort of.

I was in a very cold place and in a very big park. I thought it might be Central Park, but there weren't any trees. Most of my dream I was in the park and finding some of my friends.

At the end I went home. I couldn't find my mom but there was a big bowl on the counter. I looked at it and there was ground beef covered in sauce. I looked over and there was the can for the sloppy joe mix.

I could really go for some sloppy joes. I haven't had any in a LONG time -- I'm talking at least four years, if not longer. I would never touch sloppy joes that were from my school's cafeteria because chances were good that they would either make me ill or taste TERRIBLE, but I remember Manwich factoring in greatly into my parents' cooking repetoire when I was a young girl. A meal of Manwich sloppy joes and tater tots that are taken from frozen packages and then warmed up in the oven is one of those godsends, apparently, for a household of two working parents. Add Hamburger/Tuna Helper, pre-made chicken pot pie, supermarket deli-made rotisserie chicken, and tuna fish sandwiches, and you've got like 1/2 of all the things I had for dinner as a young girl.

i made sloppy joes for dinner. actually my mother never made them for me -- i only developed a taste for them as an adult. i want to try making a vegan version next.

the way to happiness: onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, cumin, oregano, dried mustard, freshly grated nutmeg, a little cinnamon. (i like using unsweetened tomato paste instead of ketchup so i can have more control over the flavors.)

― choom gangnam style (get bent), Tuesday, 28 August 2012 04:52 (fourteen years ago)

worcestershire sauce decidedly not vegan though, right?

As far as the original post goes, does anybody actually eat hamburgers? I think the only hamburgers I have ever eaten have been when I ran out of cheese.

― how's life, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 08:15 (fourteen years ago)

Definitely not vegan, with all them crushed-up anchovies in it.

A hamburger sans cheese is pretty much unthinkable to me.

Sloppy Joe's are ace in theory, but, well, so sloppy to actually eat, that I think I err on the side of the cheeseburger.

― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 28 August 2012 08:42 (fourteen years ago)

Now Sloppy Giuseppe, that I can get with all the time.

eight years pass...

I haven't had a sloppy joe's in like three decades, maybe it's time to revisit

Cheeseburgers slaughter this.

How did this product survive The Great Rebranding effort of the last year?

― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 21:56 (five years ago)

Manwich, I mean
