Gorilla Sandwich. (Probably not what you think - SFW) You can make your own (with cheesy 70s porn music).
Serendipitously, someone at Gourmet Gorilla turned me on to these.
The bonobo po' boy is much tastier. posted by peeedro at 10:44 PM on August 26
Cat Pie Hurts, you're on to something there. A pickle stuffed with corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut perhaps. posted by StickyCarpet at 10:45 PM on August 26
...if you're going to be stuffing it with meat, sauerkraut and cheese, mightn't you just as well throw some pickle in it, and just use the end of a baguette? That'd be much nicer (unless of course you're a coeliac or doing Atkinson's, on second thought).
But yes, somewhat interesting as this is as a concept, I think sandwiches made with bread will remain unbeaten... posted by Brother Dysk at 10:51 PM on August 26
When I put it between the chicken patties, it just rolls right back out. posted by billyfleetwood at 10:53 PM on August 26 [1 favorite]

StickyCarpet, somehow I don't see what your inside-out sandwich offers that a standard sandwich doesn't, and I see a lot of convenience being sacrificed.
Clearly, you should go make one and blog about! posted by Brother Dysk at 11:07 PM on August 26
Mario's in Westport hit upon this "design" for its famous "grinder" sandwich more than 30 years ago. And probably 100 other, earlier Italian sandwich shops before them, too. Except the "wrapper" was made from a hollowed out Italian roll, and the "filling" was generally meatballs, or sausage, cheese and, later, chicken. Nothing raw about 'em, but the "design" was identical - cut off one end, hollow out the middle, stuff with good stuff, cap with the reversed cut off end. I suspect any design patent claims for the "Gorilla Sandwich" will fail on prior art objections, but IANAPatentL, and IANYPatentL. posted by paulsc at 12:29 AM on August 27
I bet these would taste great if you deep-fried them first. posted by rokusan at 1:15 AM on August 27

25g of fat in a single sandwich??? Yikes. That's the same as a quarter-pounder with cheese... vegan, raw, organic or not, this is not something you want to be eating regularly. posted by modernnomad at 8:01 AM on August 27

Irrelevant. The whole damn thing has only 328 calories. That's like... an hors d'oeuvre. posted by rxrfrx at 8:08 AM on August 27
I can't even get my wife to make me grilled cheese, I doubt this will fly... posted by BrotherCaine at 8:24 AM on August 27
Presumably the fat is mostly from the avocado, which I have a standing policy of regarding as "good healthy green fat" and nothing anyone says is going to convince me any different. posted by rusty at 9:19 AM on August 27
I'm losing track of what the sandwich euphemisms mean. Frankly, I'm still a bit lost on what grilled cheese sandwiches are... posted by mccarty.tim at 9:36 AM on August 27
Am I misunderstanding this thing, or doesn't this mean I have to eat the cucumber peel? Blech. posted by rokusan at 1:02 PM on August 27

Either way, this looks pretty tasty.
Now, make me a pickle stuffed with hots dogs, potato chips and cheese, and chili and I'll show you a winner.
Gorilla Biscuits are tasty, too, but not as easy to digest.
