No, a lot of times they only have one meat grinder which only gets used for beef. Anything else they would have to break it down, sanitize it, then grind the (not beef), then clean it again

Yeah. Big grocery chains, etc., do cut their own meat, but will usually never cut it to spec. What's in the cooler is what you get. The place down the street from me is probably 1200 square feet, and does a fairly brisk business. He'll occasionally stop in at a bar I go to and grab a beer or two, and I asked him how he handles the "special stuff". I don't know about the grinders, but with steaks, he keeps a quarter cut side in the cooler, and will cut any cut off that quarter however you want it. Apparently he only keeps one quarter for special cut steaks. So, if you want that 2 inch thick strip, or T-Bone, you gotta get there early before he uses it all up. He always has a good supply of regular cut stuff on hand in the cooler though. He does charge a small "surcharge" for special cut stuff which I have no problem paying. It's a really nice place, that I try to buy from as much as possible.

I really do want to try to smoke my own bacon at some point though, so I'll hit him up some day for a pork belly (which he special orders). Just gotta build that smoker first.

I like my grocery store here because they regularly have 1.5-2 inch thick dry aged ribeyes and tbones ready to go every day. It costs like 20 euros per steak but it's worth it.

Looks like a panini, which (at least here, I'm sure some italian goon is going to be horrified by my description) is pizza toppings on a long bread piece, put in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese. Looks good too, I would.

On the pizza vs sandwich issue I suppose it's pizza? Or at least missing the other samdwich half...

I often wish that people would take ease of eating into account when coming up with food ideas. Like I am sure that thing is good, but there is no way dude isn't going to be wearing most of it if he eats it like that.

I'm not an italian but i'm pretty sure a panini is supposed to be a grilled sandwich. That is not a sandwich.

Yeah, a panini is a specific type of grilled sandwich, typically cooked in a "panini press", which is basically an expensive George Foreman grill.

At least in my area that is more a stromboli, which is a subset of hot grinders.

Usually grilled in a special sandwich press, IIRC.

He does make a good frozen pizza though. Just stay away from the weird things like tuna pizza and the american style ones and it's really good if you like thinner, crispier pizzas instead of the fluffy doughy ones like digiorno.

The tuna pizza is good.

where do you live? i've always heard "stromboli" used to refer to a pastry that is folded over or rolled into a spiral, with cheese and meat on the inside. like, on the family tree of pizza-esque foods, a stromboli would be much closer to a calzone than to a panini or a flatbread

edit: also wtf, how are you comparing that thing to a grinder/sub/hoagie, like at all

Yes - it's a pizza baguette :) I was reminded to bring it into this thread as was talking to a colleague at work, and she had it when visiting Kraków, but couldn't remember how it's called (it's called zapiekanka btw).
It consists generally of bread roll, mushrooms, cheese and ketchup (but can have ham/sausage, other toppings added as well). It's mostly a drunk food.

Here's what polish pizza looks like:



It differs from italian pizza as we make it with hard cheese, so the top will be crispy, while the dough will be soaked with fat from the sausage toppings (the sausage is also grated, not cut, so again, it will start getting crispy). Generally - there aren't many ingredients in here that remained whole, as everything is shredded to pieces.

When I lived in Texas I came to prefer veggie chorizo on my queso dip. Normal (Mexican) chorizo in breakfast tacos, but veggie on my cheese. It’s the spices that do most of the work, while the thymus glands and other parts are there for texture mainly.

That's funny because The Gay Nineties was a nostalgic term coined in the 1920's for the 1890's. Now I wonder if that was an actual sundae from that age or if they were just making poo poo up for the sake of the name.

According to Wikipedia ice-cream sundays were invented in the 1880s-1890s, so it makes sense.
