When I worked in South Orange, New Jersey, there was a little tiny delicatessen (the Town Hall Deli) that claimed to have invented the sloppy joe. This is not a manwich (i.e., can o’ sauce over ground round). This is a serious sandwich with usually a couple of types of meat (the original had slices of tongue), cheese, coleslaw and housemade russian, all on rye. Good stuff. Those sandwiches could feed a small classroom of fourth graders. They were huge.
Tonight I continued with a Hanukkah theme. I made the PK version, and wisely made them smaller. A single slice of toasted rye was slathered with homemade Russian dressing, topped with slices of caraway gouda from Oakvale Farmstead, and piled with celeriac remoulade and pan-seared salmon.
