You could put some Durkee® French fried onions on it too. That'd go
great with the Cheez Whiz® and Miracle Whip®. You could make a chip
dip to go with it with sour cream and a packet of onion soup mix!
Dessert could feature Cool Whip®. Cool Whip®, Miracle Whip®, they're
like cousins!

I read this to my wife. She just said, "Yuck."

I'd pay good money to see you eat that! Hell, I'd pay to see anyone eat
that! Bet you couldn't do it though, your head would explode first!

All those things have been suggested as ingredients here. Seriously,
not sarcastically, suggested. I'm waiting for all the Cheez Whiz®
fans to delurk and call me a food snob.

Other folks called me that first because I objected to using
margarine, condensed "cream of" soups, the above mentioned Durkee®
French fried onions, and other such products as "ingredients." There
are quite a few posters who have--at least close to--the culinary
sensibilities of Sandra Lee.

Less than two months ago, one of the pigs on this NG posted the
following:

"Yep, they still sell Coffee Rich; it's in the freezer section. Mom
bought it
to use as a coffee creamer but it works very well as a cream or half &
half
substitute in cooking."

Later, in that same thread, I posted:

"The piece of trash, Wolfgang Puck, puts [artificial coffee creamer]
into the canned soups he sells to the ignorant pigs who are too lazy
to read labels, too stupid to know the difference if they did, and too
piglike to care."

Someone came to his defense:

"Yet Wolfgang Puck is one of the most successful chefs in the world,
while
you languish in obscurity on Usenet. There's no justice, is there?"

Perhaps there should be a new group, alt.food.cooking.white-trash

say what you want about the cheez whiz, but that's what the use in
philadelphia, the canonical home of cheesesteaks. you could say in
their favor that many places discourage the use of mayo on the
sandwich.

Think you replied to the wrong poster here, pal! That was Bryan, aka,
Bobo..., aka Food Snob. I got nuttin' against Cheez Whiz. It's not my "go
to" cheese, but if others like, that's fine with me. But, I've never had am
authentic cheesesteak made in Philly. As far as the Miracle Whip goes, that
was a sarcastic reference to Bryan's extreme aversion to store bought mayo
and Miracle Whip.

Cheese steaks were around for a couple of decades before Cheez Whiz®
came out. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheesesteak
I remember in high school, seeing a movie where natives in S. America
wrapped grub worms in banana leaves, cooked them, then unrolled the
leaves and happily ate the grubs. That was *authentic* too.

Also, even though *I* wouldn't eat jarred mayo, I see nothing wrong
with using it as a condiment on a sandwich *you* are about to eat.
Using it in a recipe is pushing it. Slathering it on a foot long+
sandwich destined to be eaten by a bunch of people at some later time
is just crappy. No condiment should be put on ahead of time.

whatever.

i actually did have one at pat's whatever, in philadelphia. i think i
wimped out and had provolone, and mayo. i was good, but not
cataclysmic. i can get just as good at jerry's, a local in d.c. and
environs.

i was hoping to match my memories of cheesesteaks at the beach, but i
guess you have to be young, a little drunk, and very hungry for that.

blake

I've been in several PA cheesesteak places and none offered Chez Whiz. I think
Blake is funning us.

Nope. DH & DS just brought me a cheesesteak from "OIP" in Central PA
last week. I put on the mayonaisse myself. I don't mind a sandwich
that's been dragged across the county, but day-old mayo is something
else... :-P

The dueling cheeseteak places (Pats & Genos) in Philly definitely have
it. You can see the industrial food service cans in the prep area and
thats what you get if you ask for it. I think both places are overrated.

Seriously?? I'm just appalled. Not so much that it's out of a jar, but a
cheesesteak cries out for provolone, not fake cheddar. Yuck! I'll stick
with the Original (aka "OIP") in Lock Haven or Mill Hall...

Here in and around Philly in my experience, when you order a cheesesteak
they'll ask you if you want fried onions. Then if they don't offer OR you
don't request a cheese, it's American cheese by default.

Except on an early visit in 1990, we stayed at the holiday inn on Walnut
and 13th and visited Moriarty's, a fun Irish pub on Walnut and 11th. I
ordered a cheesesteak that defaulted to cheez-whiz. When it arrived, with a
bag of potato chips, I looked at my ex and said "what's this orange *** all
over my cheesesteak?!?" She couldn't stop laughing!

I like white American cheese (the real stuff, e.g., Land o' Lakes--not the
processed Kraft "cheese food") on/in my cheesesteaks.

There's an OIP in my hometown (Wellsboro, PA--about an hour and a half from
both LH and MH)! I've never tried their cheesesteaks (actually, I haven't
eaten any of their food in 10+ years, even though I remember their pizza
being very good). Need to have lunch there the next time I go back home.

That doesn't sound bad at all. :-)

You really should! They make flat rolls out of their pizza dough,
then bake it, slice it, and stuff it with meat, onions, peppers,
and white cheese, which we* all think is provolone. If I still
lived back there, I'd ask. As it is, we get one whenever someone
in the family goes back to visit, usually every couple of years.
We've also bought just the rolls and made our own sandwiches,
which is almost as good. For me, the roll makes the difference.

*Refers to myself, DH, my sister, and her husband who is DH's
brother. DH and BIL are from Beech Creek, PA, and we all lived
back there (I was in Lock Haven) years ago. Now we're all in
WA and we miss OIP...

Really? Wow, that's so different from my experience, but apparently
my experience is limited. I think I'm glad. Is it at least real
American cheese, rather than the fake rubbery stuff?

Jani,

I'm not entirely sure but I suspect it's the American processed cheese food
product slices.

"Real American cheese"????

See:
"The common use of the marketing label 'American Cheese' for
'processed cheese' combined with the prevalence of processed cheese in
the U.S. compared to the rest of the world has led to the term
American cheese being used in the United States synonymously in place
of processed cheese. Moreover, the term 'American cheese' has a legal
definition as a type of pasteurized process cheese under the U.S. Code
of Federal Regulations."

Yes, the magic words are "with wiz" and then they glop it onto your
sandwich.

I think the roll is what makes or breaks a sandwich. Around here there
are 2 great Italian bakeries that make rolls and hoagie buns and a
Jewish bakery that makes great Kaiser rolls. All are available in paper
bags which keeps the texture.

George,

You probably heard that Ricks Steaks at Reading terminal got the boot?!? They
refused to renew his lease. Now they go to court. Ricks is a fixture at the
market. Hell, Al Roker even showcaseed Ricks on his "Roker on the Road"
travelling food show! The BUMS!!!

Is that the place right by the door, across from the convention center?

nancy,

It's on the 12th Street side of the market at a sidewalk entrance. The
convention center built directly over the market so it's a little difficult
to paint a clearer picture.

See http://readingterminalmarket.org/merchants/mapview/

Click on Rick's booth for more info. The picture just shows the seating
area. The photographer must've been on drugs!!! The BUM!!!

That's the place I thought. It was packed when I was there, you
couldn't get near it ... wonder why they lost their lease.

The talking heads on the local FOX news said something about him being a
thorn in the side of the PCCA (Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority,
owners of Reading Terminal Market), helping other lessees at the market who
didn't know how to correctly represent themselves during lease
negotiations? Something like that. It'll all come out in the wash.

If that's the Jerry's Subs & Pizza chain Blake is referring to
(http://www.jerrys-subs.com/), they will serve their cheesesteaks made with
just provolone (at least the one in Ellicott City does). My hubby has
ordered them made that way before. (We've found other places locally that
make better cheesesteaks, so we no longer get ours from Jerry's.)

jerry's is o.k., not great. but they're close by. three brothers
used to have a place in silver spring with great cold cut subs and
pizza by the slice, but there's a moroccan place there now. i miss
them.

jerry's onion straws are good. the dipping sauce is a lot like that
served with outback's blooming onion.

blake

No. The problem with the organic ketchup is it only comes in this tiny
bottles!
