Nobody likes a dry sandwich.
March 26, 2008
It has come to our attention that certain members of the RPG community have no problem eating dry sandwiches – as in piece of bread, breaded chicken cutlet, piece of bread. You know who you are…
Could be a choice to live on the edge? Fearlessly braving the possibility of choking on an arid, anti-condiment sandwich?
Could it be a bad experience with condiments in the past? Rancid mayo? Clumpy mustard? Coagulated ketchup?
I’m going to put it out there… a sandwich is just not a sandwich without a condiment companion. It’s like Batman without Robin, Pinky without the Brain, bacon without eggs, Cody without red hoodie! Just plain unnatural…
Now to hear your thoughts… how do you feel about the dry sandwich? What are your condiment solutions? How do YOU feel about RUSTUP and the fact that Stephen Russell double-fisted a grilled cheese and dinner roll today at lunch, washing it down with a ramen-like chicken noodle broth??

I feel terrible about the idea of a dry sandwich. Although I have drawn scrutiny from certain lunch companions for my sporadic grilled chicken or turkey sandwich sans mayo or mustard, I am in full support of condiments. I don’t know if I would go as far as to use RUSTUP on everything, however. I also don’t agree with Stephen on the no-mayo policy. Mayo is a critical condiment and he is wrong for not leveraging it in his daily snackings.

I prefer dry sandwiches when I am in the rain forest, but I really like wet sandwiches if I am traveling in the desert.

I like my sandwich pretty freaking moist.

In my opinion, the question Ginger posed truly depends solely on the individual’s time availability.
If you are on the go, in an absolute hurry, spreading, squeezing, or schmearing a condiment on to your sandwich can consume seconds of valuable time, and additionally, it makes a utensil dirty, requiring you to take additional time to wash said utensil (or put it in the dishwasher).
However, if you can sacrifice an extra 10 to 60 seconds from your day in order to add a condiment to your dry and boring sandwich, this would be the wiser decision to make and your sandwich will be superior, no doubt.
Bon appetit!

I think anyone who eats a sandwich without a condiment is just plain tapped. And I will accept vegetables as forms of condiments (i.e. tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, etc.) but a plain turkey sandwich on wheat……..gimme a break
FYI- that ramen-like chicken noodle broth was actually “noodle juice” and Steve would have been a lot cooler if he drank it

Couple of things…
In response to my no-mayo policy, That condiment is the condiment of the devil and thus, should be banned from society.
In response to the “my schedule is to busy to put a condiment on a sandwich.” If you are too busy for the whole 17 seconds it takes to put it on, you might want to rethink your daily schedule.
I believe that a condiment is necessary to provide an additional taste to the meal. Think about this… You’re eating a honey ham sandwich… That mustard adds a different, yet delightful taste. Basically your pallet is screaming for joy.

If Stephen drank that juice he would have died, probably immediately. And I tried the dry turkey sandwich once, just plain awful. I had to drink a glass of water to get it all down, not pleasant.

Some people consider me a mustard snob. If there isn’t mustard on a sandwich, I want no part of it. As to the types of mustard I prefer- a tangy honey dijon is king.
LONG LIVE MUSTARD!!!

I would just like to point out that the red hoodie hasn’t been worn in some time…
ps – only communists eat dry sandwiches, its a fact…i read it in a book….
10. Do shaved carrot peelings count as a condiment? « Pickle Juice | April 7, 2008 at 7:54 pm
[...] will never serve the purpose of a true condiment: protect the creator from choking – the ultimate dry sandwich [...]
