and i even lived in northeastern pennsylvania and i NEVER heard about wimpies!

Yeah, I'm from Maryland and have never heard "steamers." And surely "gulash" would be prevalent where there were lots of Hungarians, not Norwegians..?

In the more rural stretches of Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin you've got your "maid-rites" which are sort of a less saucy sloppy joe.

Yeah, my Norwegian Minnesotan mom used to make a dish called Texas Gulash, but it was egg noodles, stewed tomatoes, ground beef and lots of chili powder. Certainly not a sandwich by any means. So I don't know what kind of authority is editing this article.

harbl I may have misled you, I only posted the Steamed Hams thing as a lark. Learn about its mysterious origin here.

lol :)

Hahah I got the steamed hams thing!

(but of course I would)

Tell me, why do people want a runny hamburger?

they need the exercise?

Remember when Jackie & Roseanne opened their own "loose meat" restaurant? What the hell was that? "Loose meat" sounds wrong in so many ways.

"A tavern sandwich is a sandwich commonly consumed in the Midwest region of the United States, originally consisting of unseasoned ground beef on a bun, mixed with sauteed onions, and sometimes topped with pickles, ketchup and mustard. The tavern has a number of different names. Two of the most often used are loosemeat and Maid-Rite. The sandwich was created in 1934 by Abraham Kaled at Ye Olde Tavern Sandwich Shop in Sioux City, Iowa.[1]"

well you learn something new every day.

also for you trayce:

Unseasoned ground beef on a bun? Did Abraham Kaled also try to pass off some grease-soaked paper towels as a menu item?

next time i only have some ground beef and bread in the house i need to remember i'm eating a regional delicacy.

:D the phrase "MY MANWICH!" was the first thing in my head when I saw this thread title.

I agree with Sash tho - the idea of runny bolognese sauce on a bun seems ... well, messy, at best. Something you'd knock up stoned late at night in the kitchen out of leftovers.

I've eaten these (maid-rites) and they're pretty good but I'd basically always rather have a hamburger.

xp

i heart manwich. but i'm a big hamburger helper stan too.

i was gonna post about loose meat. it's an iowa specialty. it doesn't sound very exciting -- it's basically a sloppy joe with no sauce.

Seriously people eat burgers and are like "This is great, if only the meat was sloppier..."???

but i may be visiting iowa city soon, so i'll demand a trip to maid-rite and report back.

Uh, in my experience a "steamer" is something a LOT less appetizing.

i was surprised when, after moving to north jersey 10 years ago, and i saw a menu with the description of a "sloppy joe" and it wasn't the MONwich sloppy sandwich that i knew and loved so much as a little kid.

MANWICH
