Although it has not been that long ago that I declared the baloney and cheese sandwich to be my favorite, I now rescind that statement and tell you this: the pepper and egg sandwich is where it's at.
The sandwich I had for lunch was perfection itself. I highly recommend getting this from a pizza place. Sauteed strips of green peppers fried with eggs, placed on the best quality Italian bread. The bread is split down the middle, buttered on the inside and then grilled only on the outside. After assembly, they wrap the sandwich - along with little packets of ketchup - up in foil.
That ketchup inclusion is key to the overall experience. The packets heat up from their proximity to the sandwich and when you squirt it onto the sandwich interior, there is no temperature discordance to distract.
My sandwich came from the pizza place across the road. I ordered the small because it's even though they say it's a 7", it's really more of a 9 and that's enough. That's a lot of sandwich for $5.50.
For the record: as a sandwich purist, I didn't always use ketchup on this sandwich but I'm in with a bad crowd here and I'm easily influenced. Now it's too late for me to turn back. That's what happens.
This is the kind of riveting detail that you can expect here from now on.
Someone needs to comment here, and I'm just the person to do it.
I had a pizza slice for lunch yesterday. Thin crust from a mom-n-pop. White pizza with chicken and sausage and black olives added to it.
There.

OK... yesterday a woman at work brought in a home-made hazelnut cake for someone's birthday. It had so many chopped up hazelnuts in it, it crunched when you chewed it like a mouthful of granola.
Should cake crunch when chewed?
Discuss.

egg sandwich needs no condiment but yolk.
