Deconstructing the Muffaletta

Everytime I hear people speak about New Orleans.....my curiousity peaks.

I once rode a bus through the Big Easy, stopped at smorgasbord.....and then off to Biloxi I went.

But that was the extent of my short lived stay.

No romance there huh?

Most of the people I have discussed New Orleans either Love It....or Hate It.

Jason Walstrom, my tattoo guy (Sea Wolf Tattoo Company) did most of his training there.

When he starts talking about it......you'll eith Love...or Hate him LOL.

When New Orleans is mentioned....a lot of people will discuss the food and the music, but Jason.....he seems to value the people the most.

On the other hand is my friend Brutus.

Brutus and I used to do night club comedy back in the 90's.

Brutus lives his life to "dance" with pretty girls and party.

He's that "Vegas" guy many of you work with at the office.

On Monday morning, you might see him approaching the water cooler and then ask how he made out in Sin City...

And you know his response will always be the same.........

"Let's just say the trip paid for itself."

Anyways......Brutus hates New Orleans, it is his contention that it is just Vegas with an ashtray for a floor, and vampires as a populace.

This morning I was speaking with a chef who requested muffaletta's.

From my scattered bread history, this is kinda a Big Easy bread....maybe it came over with the French, but anyways.......

As me and the bakers discussed our perception of what the primo muffaletta was (before engaging Google), we came up with 8 inches wide, 2 inches tall, usually an Italian bread dough, but olive oil is the mandatory fat.

Also we were in agreement sesame seeds were the typical garnish, but Hennessy chimed in.....

"Not Nessisarily."

........Pastry Chefs.......sigh, LOL

So with that said, here is your chance to chime in and give your opinion(s), I know you L.A.B. Rats are full of them, so get to work.

Thanks

The last American Baker
