Well some of you OS members will remember Dragos post in the NPT about a super Sammich. This here is very similar to that one.
Background.
Well most of you guys know that my wife and I are very competitive, and when I told her today that I could make a better sammich than her she decided to call me out on it with a little wager.
The Deal...
Same kind of bread, Same size bread, Same resources. Must go shopping for ingredients at separate times as to not steal any ideas. No condiments (as our taste testers did not care for any). $100 Wager.
2 part testing, the taste test was provided by our oldest daughter Steph of whom I felt would be biased towards Shanna so I had a 2nd taste tester flown in from Iraq in the form of a Marine Scout Sniper... my brother (who also likes Shanna better than me :s)
The visual/ingredient test will be provided by you guys. The pictures suck as it is hard to take pics of a sammich in low lighting (how Subway does it I will never know) so you are going to have to go by our descriptions mostly.
I am not going to reveal who's is who's until after the poll closes as I know most of you guys would vote for Shanna rather than myself out of spite.. :p
