Between the Bread

When people ask me "what's your favorite sandwich?" I usually toss out a few answers; it all depends on the occasion. But two of my perennial favorites are the New Orleans classics the fried oyster po'boy and the muffuletta. The fried oyster po'boy harks back to my Gulf Coast roots, while the muffuletta appeals to my Sicilian palette.

They are so different it would be hard to choose: I usually prefer hot sandwiches, but the muffuletta is my favorite cold sandwich of all time. However, if I had to pick one sandwich to eat once a year for the rest of my life, I have to say, it would be the oyster po'boy. So in honor of Mardi Gras, I present to you the same dilemma.
