Ichobod Dracula Sandwich

We are gathered here today in memory of the Halloween sandwich. Some holidays have specific sandwiches, although they are few and far between. In fact the sandwich usually follows the holiday and most people consider them appropriate for the time period of the holiday, but not the holiday itself. Thanksgiving, the turkey sandwich with gravy is often eaten the day after the infamous food holiday. On St. Patrick’s Day it would be rather fitting to make a nice Reuben from the left over corn beef made the night before. The only food that is really associated with Halloween is candy and pumpkin seeds. I don’t really think there is much sandwich capability from either of these food items.Really the best sandwich to eat on Halloween is a toasted roast beef sandwich with hot mustard on white bread. This is because it is usually rather cold around the time of Halloween and anything warm is just nice to have swarming in one’s stomach to prepare for a night of running around in comical clothes while trying not to freeze to death.The reason I say roast beef is because Roast beef always has that effect of leaving a red dribble of blood that seeps in the white bread. Roast beef also gets stuck in your teeth making any eater of this sandwich look like a voracious man-consuming beast. The prime suspect of this sandwich slaughterer would be a tall pale skinny man with black hair that has the perfect hairline of that of Dracula. He resembles a bit of Ichabod Crane ready to run at the site of the Headless Horseman.He walks rather awkwardly and certainly crushes on the cute blonde that walks in the room. He would easily be found picking his teeth trying to get all the roast beef out from that canine that sits so closely to the tooth next to it. His lips a deep crimson often found with crumbs and roast beef juice dried at the corners. He is definitely easily scared and has absolutely no street smarts. Perhaps that is why is scares so easily. His nose is big yet not keen enough to smell danger. Here, before you, is the prime Halloween sandwich that is not that tasty. And I will not claim to have perfected this sandwich and made it into my own masterpiece, but I have to delegate it the Halloween sandwich. It describes the perfect Halloween character, a mixture of Dracula and Ichobod Crane. Two essential Halloween characters, one that caused terror and one that was easily terrified and known to all Halloween story lovers, or perhaps connoisseurs. This sandwich is put to rest with the utmost respect and I wish it the best of luck in its reincarnations for the future Halloweens to come.
