52nd and Market St. is NOT South Philly, rather West Philly. 5th or 2nd
and Market is STILL NOT South Philly.

My guess is somewhere, when some meatballs fell apart in a meat sauce,
it got slopped on a bun for no other reason than to salvage a disaster.
Somebody who had to eat it probably took a long look and said "pretty
sloppy, Joe!"

I can only eat a sloppy joe openfaced on a bun with provalone then slop
on top.

I hate to sound really ignorant, but I don't even know what a sloppy joe is.
But from what I just read I get the general idea. I'll have to try it one
day.

Jen,

It's probably similar in lore to the origin of Australia's meatpie. But

A uniquely South Australian culinary delight (which I have not
personally tried).

Firstly, in case you don't know about the Aussie love of meat pies -
here's an intro <g>. A hot meat pie is a favourite Australian food -
individual pies with a flaky pastry crust, and a meat and gravy filling
(although you can get hundreds of variations on the filling, with
different sorts of meat, vegies, spices etc. the basic is steak). The
plain sort is usually eaten with tomato sauce (like ketchup). You can
see images here http://tinyurl.com/dg68b

In South Australia they like to take one of these pies and place it
upside down in a bowl of pea soup - that's a pie floater. You'll find
out more about it here

Isn't it amazing how people get a concept of something based on an
unpleasant experience or experiences, then translate that into an
absolute and generalize the absolute?!

Agreed. I looked forward to Sloppy Joe's as a small child. They were
a favorite in our family. Of course my mother made them from scratch with
real ingredients. We still like them and I make them from time to time.
One can cheat with Mannwich or McCormick's Sloppy Joe mix and add
additional spices as desired.

I prefer the dry mix you use with water and tomato sauce, and I'll dice
some onion and green chili pepper and brown that and let the whole
thing simmer for a while. I like to use italian sausage for sloppy
joes instead of beef, or perhaps a mix of the two. I use large
hamburger buns, and toast the top of the buns in the broiler to get
them brown, then adding the sloppy joe mix and cheddar cheese to the
tops of the buns, then back into the broiler to melt the cheese, and
eating open faced with a knife and fork. My favorite side item with a
sloppy joe is cottege cheese.

Manwich is ok on occasion when I don't feel like cutting up an onion,
but a little bit of manwich is a nice addition to meatloaf.

It's a sandwich made with cooked ground beef in a sauce served on a
hamburger bun. Now here's where opinion differs - some folks say it's like
a southern barbeque sauce. I maintain it's a tomato sauce. I add onion,
garlic, bell pepper and chili spices to mine. At any rate, it's sloppy to
eat but oh so good!

I disagree; I never liked those things and dreaded sloppy joe night as a
kid. Just like meatloaf; I won't make it now as an adult. Thank GOD my
husband is in agreement!

I'm with Jill on this one, as well as the ingredients, but I don't like
them too "sloppy". I also like meatloaf depending on how it's made.

kili would eat it if the ground beef was practically raw! She just can't
stand cooked meat. She eats her burgers bloody rare.

Yep, you got it, Jill! I won't eat any beef "cooked". It tastes dead.
It's got this "off" flavor to me that I dislike immensely. I'll eat fish
cooked, I'll eat fish raw. Pork, I like medium. Chicken, well, we all know
chicken has to be cooked. :~)

Did it ever occur to you to make YOUR sloppy joe and YOUR meatloaf
different than what you were served and HAD to eat as a kid? I make a
fantastic Asian style meatloaf (I love all Asian food) that is nothing
like what I ate as a kid. I've found that if I make it different
enough, it doesn't remind me of what I HAD to eat as a kid.

It would, but I only like beef served just about raw; which doesn't exist in
the sloppy joe/meatloaf/roast world. My hubby and I eat steaks bloody,
bloody rare. I even eat my hamburgers nearly raw. The hubby and I are
looking into getting a meat grinder so we know exactly what goes into our
burgers to make it safer for me to eat.

Could you please share how you make an Asian style meatloaf? TIA BTW,
my mom made neither meatloaf or sloppy joes. I didn't get to taste
these mouth watering dishes until after I was married and my MIL taught
me how to make them as well as lots of other goodies.

DH love bloody prime rib but I like mine a little more cooked. I now
eat my steak the way he likes it. I find it so much nicer than the way
I used to order them - well done. We eat kibby raw. I want a meat
grinder too. Time to go shopping! I'm not really sure what to look for
in a meat grinder

I do something similar when I spread ragout (a la bolognese) on
bread buns, just an alternative to eating it in a dish...

I always find it funny that the term "sloppy joe" refers to a foodstuff,
because to me (and plenty of other Australians - though I'm not sure if
the term is used throughout the entire country) a sloppy joe is a fleecy
top, like a sweatshirt.

The first time I heard the term used for a food was on an episode of the
TV show Roseanne. The Roseanne character said something about spending
the whole day making sloppy joes, and my first thought was that I'd never
seen her sewing on the show <g>. It then turned out that it was actually
the dish she was talking about.

I suppose a sloppy joe would be a cousin to savoury mince on toast.

A sloppy joe is ground beef in a tomato sauce on a bun. It could include
green pepper, onions and spices, but it's just ............. sloppy.
Impossible to eat wearing a white shirt without getting a tomato sauce
stain. :~)

So I wouldn't wear a white sloppy joe while eating sloppy joes? <g>

Since that Roseanne episode years ago I have become familiar with what a
sloppy joe is, but I've never tried one. However, growing up we often had
what was called savoury mince, and often had that over toast. It was beef
mince (ground beef) cooked with various seasonings and vegies, possibly
tomato. So I figure that would probably be a second cousin to a sloppy
joe <g>

It's quite similar except on bread and more "saucy". My Scottish
grandmother made mince and served it over mashed potatoes.

something or other.
