I went to this gourmet shop today, had some family stuff going on so
I decided to get us all lunch. This place has terrific sandwiches
on their own bread, so delicious!

I got some kind of ham and swiss, a tarragon chicken and a Jewish
sloppy joe type of thing. All of them are much fancier than I make
them sound.

So, I went to pay for them and the guy behind the counter says, is
this to go? I laughed! and said, do I look *really* hungry?? I
even had cole slaw and potato salad, maybe a pint each. The cashier
started laughing, yeah, I thought you'd be hanging out here with
us for a while. Cracked me up.

I got it back to the house, finally convinced the caregiver to sit
with us for lunch, she and I split the sloppy joe (and neither one
of us could finish half, no way). She asked what kind of sandwich
it was and I told her what was on it, oh, and it has Russian dressing
on it. She didn't say anything, just nodded, then I laughed ... the
woman is FROM Russia. I said, uh, you don't eat Russian dressing
in Russia, do you?, she laughed.

Nancy, this begs the question:
what is a "Jewish Sloppy Joe type of thing"?

I'm reaching into my memory bank and cannot come up with anything close.

Russian dressing is made with mayo, which would make the sandwich very
un-kosher.

Oh, I'm sorry, I should have explained. Dollars to donuts you will
recognize what I'm talking about. A Jewish sloppy joe has three
thin slices of rye bread. I *think* usually one layer is turkey,
the other is roast beef, but heaven forbid I say that is the
definitive sloppy joe. Russian dressing and coleslaw. Excellent
sandwich.

The reason I say my sandwich was a Jewish sloppy joe 'type' of
thing is it had corned beef and I didn't really notice what other
type of cold cut, plus only 2 slices of bread. Very much in the
mode of the sloppy joe, though.

You seem to be describing what I would call a Dagwood, not
anything close to a sloppy Joe.

Can't help you with the Dagwood, but that is indeed a Jewish sloppy
joe. You're probably thinking of that Manwich type sloppy joe. No
resemblence. As a matter of fact, the sandwich I ordered, the
No. 6, was called Cranbury's Sloppy Joe. Cranbury's being named
after the deli, I assume conceding it's not a real Jewish sloppy joe.

this is a wild guess on my part, ... but all of my low-fat mayonnaises
have yoghurt in them, and I remember something about not stewing a
lamb in it's mother's milk, so maybe you're not allowed to use such a
maynnaise in a meat sandwich.

It was just Russian Dressing. Nothing to do with low fat.

I confess, I order mayo on pastrami in kosher delis. I'll wait a
minute until you get over that thought. (laugh)

My question is, do you know what I mean by Jewish sloppy joe, or at
any rate before I described it? Just curious.

You are correct in that dairy and meat are never mixed but the light mayo I
buy (Hellman's) doesn't have yogurt listed in the ingredients.

I like ham and cheese bagels. Don't tell my Jewish relatives who procure
for me the best bagels in the world for me at their Jewish deli.

Too funny! I promise, even though they are coming over for dinner
tonight, I will keep your secret under wraps.

I didn't get your answer, I was curious why you said that.
