Sopranos sandwich
Warning!! Very minor spoiler for last night's The Sopranos.
On last night's Sopranos, Carmella made sandwiches she called Lincoln Logs. She spread some white stuff onto split sausages that may have been hotdogs. I thought at first it was mayo, but then she put a container of what I'm pretty sure was whipped cream cheese in the refrigerator. I suppose it could have been anything in the container, but Carmella doesn't strike me as the sort of woman who reuses old cream cheese containers. The sandwich was served on sliced bread, which was wrapped around the sausage/whatever filling concoction. Anyone ever heard of or had a sandwich like that before? It struck me as a fairly disgusting concoction, and yet Carmella Soprano always seems to be a pretty good cook. Tony's always rooting around the frig looking for leftover baked ziti or bracciole or something. Anny |

And my husband, who will eat darn near ANYTHING also grimaced. It did look like a hotdog split down the center with white goop on it. I was wondering if it was ricotta and then nixed that idea because it didn't seem like it would fit. Then I wondered if it could be some sort of horseradish sauce? Maybe a spicy Italian sausage? That's the best I can think of. kili |

It puzzled me, too. I looked up Lincoln Logs and I found everything from chicken croquettes to desserts made from mayple syrup and peanut butter. I thought Lincoln Logs was a Boy/Girl Scouts treat.

Yes, Carmella Soprano is a fictional character. But The Sopranos seems to be better than most television dramas at being internally consistent within their fictional world. It's somewhat out of character for her to make something disgusting unless it's a family (as opposed of course to Family) tradition kind of thing. Which under the fictional circumstances of the episode did make sense. But the question still remains -- are Lincoln Log sandwiches something that others have had? Perhaps it's an item local to New Jersey. BTW, you may be interested in this: http://www.amazon.com/Sopranos-Famil...9764542&sr=1-1 or http://tinyurl.com/33er3g Anny |

I have the episode on DVR - it's Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Sausage
and Cream Cheese is actually really good. We usually use hard salami, but any sort of cured meat is good with it. It's most common on a bagel or french bread. Desirea The Steeping Pot www.SteepingPot.com |

At least it couldn't have been much warmer than room temperature when Tony started scarfing one down. Plus I thought if it was hot it would have likely melted whatever that white stuff was. I suppose this is doomed to be another Sopranos' mystery.

You know, of course, that much of the fantastic looking food in magazines isn't something you'd really want to eat. It's all in the appearance. "Ice Cream", for example, is frequently made from chilled lard because it won't melt (much!) during the many takes to get that perfect photo for the advertisement. Maybe some people would like a nice bite of chilled lard but I'm not one of them. There are other examples but I can't think of another one off the top of my head. Jill |

To me, part of the fun of watching The Sopranos is dissecting all the seemingly small things to see how they tie into the whole. Carmella reads a book in bed or Syl at his desk, and someone is sure to comment on the book and what it's presence means in terms of the overall show. The music that plays is analyzed. Episode titles are parsed. As I said, it's part of the fun. Anny |

No one was claiming the character was real, or that her cooking skills were. The comment was reflecting on how it seemed out of character for Carmella to make something like that. If you couldn't figure that out without help, then perhaps you should have asked, rather than make an ass of yourself trying to put up such a pretentious and asinine stance. kimberly -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCDbWRzbG1M "I told you this was easy" |

The food in the scene was backdrop. It was more about a mother making her son's favorite sandwich, her mothering him. Proof of sorts of Tony's claim that Carm "coddles" her son. kimberly |

Presumably the cream cheese between the hot dogs makes the sandwich resemble a log cabin? Must be a family recipe from someone on the writing staff. Lin, want to post your family recipe for "saucy dogs"? Bob |
