Made an Italian version of Sloppy Joe's tonight, Giuseppe Sciatto.

Used both sweet and hot Italian sausage meat, Bolognais sauce, a mix of
Parmesan, Cheddar, Asiago cheese. Turned out rather well.

I'm sure other combinations will work too, vary according to your
personal taste. We ate it on buns but would be good over pasta too.

Buns? French (or Italian) bread would have been the ticket.

YUM!

Yes, but could not get a decent bread today so you work with what is
available.

Besides that, Sloppy Joes, regardless of the ingredients or the moniker,
really do require "buns".

I consider sloppy joe a form of chili/meat sauce... I prefer sloppy
joe on pasta (medium shells) or mixed with dark red kidney beans. Over
bread I'd prefer toasted English muffins. To me "buns" is too
nebulous, could mean sticky buns, or Jill's buns! LOL

Silly "bun" remarks aside, you do know what a hamburger bun is, right?
Who the heck puts kidney beans in sloppy joes?

Exactly - cheap buns. Or even white bread. Anything else is TIAD
and just isn't right. It needs to be soft and squishy.

Matter of fact - I think that's dinner tonight! Shit, no pickles.

I'll have to disagee with you here. A sloppy joe is best
on soft buns. To use a denser bread would just make the
sandwich even sloppier.

Now if he put it over pasta, like he mentioned, I would agree
with you about using a French of Italian bread.

Personal choice: I've always prefered the Italian bread over
French

Have you ever had a real baguette? Meaning not from the supermarket.

Does the supermarket bakery (cooked fresh each morning from
premixed dough) count? Otherwise...no.

If there was a real bakery nearby, I'd use it but no way
will I drive off to wherever the nearest one is just for
bread. I'm not that picky.

Not really.

I understand that, but it makes it hard to compare French vs. Italian
bread.

It's not possible to be picky about a *sloppy* joe.

Albertsons used to do a fairly passable crusty roll (long or round)
Then they started bagging them up in plastic because of the virus
(keep everything sanitary) Well, you put crusty bread in a plastic
bag and the crusty surface goes away.

I've had a lot of good French bread, but the Italian bread we buy these days is my favorite. I was driving down to the Italian neighborhood to buy it, but then I realized that the local supermarket has it.
Breakfast this morning was 2 eggs with 2 slices of that bread, toasted and buttered.

Why yes, there's a lot of Japanese bakeries on this rock. They make real baguettes. The real baguettes are like waffles. They have only a few minutes of life until they turn ordinary.

Yes, they have very little shelf life because there's no fat, let
alone preservative, in them. Just flour, water, yeast and salt.

At which point you can eat it with knife and fork.

I can't remember the last time I had bread _and_ pasta.

Exactly.

But even on a "bun", don't people use a fork at least?

It varies. When I put one together, I don't make it very sloppy, so I
can pick it up and eat it. IIRC my husband is a trifle more literal
and his are pretty messy.

Come on...it's a sandwich. Do you eat a hamburger with a
knife and fork? The europeans probably do. All proper and stuff.

That's just your diet eating I suspect.
Many people eat pasta with sauce and have some garlic
bread along with it.

For me...
- pasta with red sauce
- tossed salad on the same plate
- couple pieces of garlic bread made from italian
(buttered, garlic and parmesian cheese) broiled to brown

If they are sloppy I eat them with a knife and fork. It depends on
sloppiness.

I had spinach/cheese tortillini alfredo for dinner last night. With a
side of spinach. <G> Even though I'm not low-carbing, bread with it
would have been a bit too much starch.

There's really no difference other the shape, French is typically a
thinner bagette. Most often sloppy joe is served on a burger bun but
I think that soft bun would become too messy. To eat sloppy joe as a
sandwhich I'd prefer a crusty Kaiser roll... but still the best way
for me is as a meat sauce over pasta.

"Bun" is a shape. You can make buns out of really good bread dough.

What a coinkydink! <G> I was thinking about making Sloppy Joes tomorrow
night. I have some hot Italian sausage and ground beef. Jarred tomato
sauce. Cheeses hadn't occurred to me but I do have a few different
types including cheddar, parm and grated mozz. "Italian" or not, I'll
have to take a couple of Tums or bicarb first because tomatoes don't
agree with me anymore. But yes, I thought hmmm, Sloppy Joes. And here
you are posting about them.
