Why does this even exist?

When did anyone ever make a sandwich and think, "Damn, if only I had some olive loaf"?

[Anonymous No.6222172]

Right before they killed themselves.

You guys are shitting right? Stuffs amazing.

[Anonymous No.6222184]

Clearly Jimmy,

You are incapable of comprehending the subtle nuances and umami characteristics of a delicate olive loaf with those tantalizing textual shifts of the succulent meat and the juicy olives.

[Anonymous No.6222185]

I always liked it. Still get it on occasion from Koegels. They have a mac and cheese loaf, but I'm not brave enough to try that.

Are you kidding? Olive loaf is god tier. I mean, I wouldn't buy cheap ass generic or even Oscar Meyer brand olive loaf, but it's fucking god tier sandwich meat, especially on a sub. Fuck, now I'm craving a big ass sub stuffed with this stuff, I'm going to have to go get some.......

I have nightmares of this stuff, it looks absolutely terrifying.

I'll pick up some from the deli once in a while. It's a pretty good white trash sandwich. Couple slices of olive loaf, some American cheese on white bread is a guilty pleasure of mine.

When I was a kid I thought olive loaf was great. Then I learned what tapinade was. Now I just buy better quality meat, and put a green olive tapinade on my sandwich when I want that flavor.

Your point is irrelevant, because I'm sure there is some other godforsaken place where Olive loaf is a staple food.

Olive loaf is a comfort food with nostalgic value.

How on Earth have the hipsters in Brooklyn not started a "gourmet olive loaf" thing yet? (Would follow the PBR, toast, and other things.)

[Anonymous No.6224046]

>>6224038
>the toast thing

GodFUCKINGdammit, that shit makes me rage. It started out here in SF, and it was stupid then and its still fuckng stupid. I can't even think about it without going full head explosion.

[Anonymous No.6224054]

Why does sandwich meat of any kind exist? It's nothing more than processed ground up animal genitalia, bone, and gristle.

[Anonymous No.6224055]

>>6224046

Some fads I get - some I don't. The toast one is bizarre:

> I'll have the toast with cinnamon and sugar with some organic raisins please

> That'll be $6.79 please

And lines out the door to buy . . .

>How on Earth have the hipsters in Brooklyn not started a "gourmet olive loaf" thing yet?
Because most folks who can afford to live there did not grow up poor, so olive loaf wasn't something they ate. The same itch is scratched by putting tapenade on sandwiches, and you can find that in Brooklyn. Olive loaf is a too close to Sloppy Joes, pimento cheese and fried bologna sandwiches - almost too trashy to approach with irony. There are gourmet grilled cheese shops, though.

. . . but they idolize Pabst Blue Ribbon . . .

[Anonymous No.6224069]

>>6224060
Yes.
I can't talk about it. I'll stroke out. But it started with this insane woman in SF who couldn't hold a job but she knew how to make toast and coffee, and she started a "cafe" that sold only toast, coffee, and coconut water. And the fucking hipsters went FULL RETARD, and now fucking toast places are in hip cities everywhere! FUCK. that's all I have to say about that.

That article title is fairly misleading, only one restaurant charged $11, all the rest we around the $3-4 range. Doesn't change the fact that small diners generally have a two egg breakfast that comes with sausage or bacon and two pieces of toast here for $5, but eh.

>but they idolize Pabst Blue Ribbon
That was always a NYC cheap beer option. It was the cheap beer offered country bars (Coyote Ugly, Hogs and Heifers, The Village Idiot) and music venues long before the term "hipster" was brought back into common use. When a new group of people started hanging around such places (especially the music venues) wearing Von Dutch hats PBR became the default order, because it was the default cheap beer. (Craft beer was hard to find at music venues back then, and if you were going out to see a live band why pay $5 for a plastic cup of Brooklyn Lager when a PRB tall boy and a well shot was $4?) Remember before the rents went crazy they were mostly upper-middle class kids who were music fans, slumming it in the neighborhoods where the music venues were located.

But generally if hipsters are going to adopt something lowbrow it will be something from another culture, like tacos or banh mi. They're less likely to go in for what the poor kids from their own childhoods were eating.

The Toast thing does not seem that stupid.

If People want to pay for Stuff they could easily make themselves (like Coffee), why not?
