Today's sandwich is:

Torta Milanesa



A torta is a Mexican sandwich, served on an oblong 6-8 inch firm, crusty white sandwich roll, called a bolillo, telera or birote. "Telera" is soft, round bread; also commonly used is the Bolillo, a torpedo-shaped French roll with a thick and crunchy crust. Tortas can be served hot or cold.

Torta Milanesa is a sandwich filled with a breaded meat fillet preparations are known as a milanesa. The milanesa was brought to the Southern Cone of South America from Central European immigrants, its name reflecting the original Milanese preparation cotoletta alla milanese, which is similar to the Austrian wiener schnitzel. A milanesa consists of a thin slice of beef, or sometimes chicken or veal. Each slice is dipped into beaten eggs, seasoned with salt, and other condiments according to the cook's taste (like parsley and garlic). Each slice is then dipped in breadcrumbs (or occasionally flour) and shallow-fried in oil, one at a time.

Garnishes such as avocado, refried beans, sour cream, lettuce, jalapeño, tomato, and cheese feature in various incarnations of the sandwich. The dish is popular throughout Mexico, and is also available anywhere with a large number of Mexican immigrants.

Is everything in your life pretentious? Even your sandwiches?

Guess what, no one gives a damn what sandwich you're eating daily, and furthermore, no matter what's on it, it's still a god damned sandwich and we don't need to be educated as to the fucking thing's history, you fucking sod.

What about me do you find so threatening?

If you just find it objectionable or distasteful I'd advise you to shut the fuck up and deal with it but since you clearly have a sore spot for me I just wonder about your motivations. Surely you must know me - otherwise why would you care? So what specifically about me threatens your way of life?

Or is it just that you're a cunt?

Ha... Threatening... You must think pretty highly of yourself (of course you do, it's the pretentiousness). You're about as threatening as a box full of kittens, cupcake.

So I must have hit a sore spot again. Great, the fact that it riles you up just verifies I'm right. Now go eat a dick, but make sure to post a thread about how the dicks you eat are better than others and give us the history of dick eating just so we get educated on it.
