An impromptu Prisoner night. A Halloween inspiration in the isles of Choices. Ah, choices, too many, but the wagon wheel won out.Drinks: red wine
Angelica's Wheel Inside a Wagon: blackberry jam sandwiched in marshmallow wheels, nutella on brown rice soda bread, toasted lighted then broiled open face
Dave's A.N.I.M.A. (Adams Nut In Mallow Aboudit)
Mashed marshmallows, natural PB in the middle, chocolately nutella on top.
AS on DM: Mmmm...this was indulgent. Thick marshmallowiness...thick peanut butteriness...thick nutella-ness(?). Definite Halloween memories, but more of the peanut butter cup kind. Which is good. Since I love peanut butter cups...they were always the treasures in my Halloween haul. I was always torn between indulging in them first or saving them and savouring them. I really didn't know whether to eat this sandwich all up first, or save half for after my sandwich. But I indulged. And loved every bite.
AS on AS: Once more I challenge the eater. I don't always make sandwiches with plate -to-mouth logistics in mind...well, perhaps it's rarely that I do. This was a pretty gooey mess as far as sandwiches go, but if bitten carefully, the eater was rewarded with a light and heavenly flavour. I remember (correctly or not) a version of wagon wheels with jam in them and that came in a red box rather than a blue box. It could all be my over-sugared imagination at work, but this this sandwich definitely brought me back to wagon wheel days. And those days were sweet ones.
DM on DM: How can you go wrong with these ingredients? If someone had given me this on Hallowe'en... it would have made a mess of my haul. So, let's say that if someone i knew and trusted had put this in front of me on Hallowe'en, i would have chosen it over just about anything in my haul. Except maybe peanut butter cups.
DM on AS: Inventive as always. This was a lot of sugar and marshmallow for me, but it tasted great. Any more would have put me in a sweet coma. Though i don't remember well the jam wagon wheel variety, this experience made me feel like maybe i'd had one before. Or handed them out at least. Ah, memories. Recent or long passed, true or false, it matters only that now i have them, and this sandwich is a good one.
The Verdict
AS: Both were fantastic, but I'm going to have to go with mine by a sliver. Maybe it was the extra sweetness from the jam, or maybe it was the slighted melted state of the marshmallows, but this one just had a little something that brought back those wagon wheel memories just a little bit stronger.
DM: For its inventiveness in design and the physical sacrifice incurred by its maker, Angelica's gets the nod. Let's get some tight white plastic bags and mass produce them.
