| 0:00.0 | I'm Molly. And I'm Matthew. And this is spilled milk, the show where we cook something delicious, eat it all, and you can't have any. And today we're talking about hot sandwiches. That's right. And we did. In fact, just eat hot sandwiches. Yeah, we're doing this. This was suggested by me, host Matthew, one of the hosts of the show. I've heard of him. I couldn't remember exactly what you said. So can you help me reconstruct what happened? We did some episode recently involving... Oh, we did sausage sandwiches. Sausage sandwiches. And you said, like, you kind of never think of hot sandwiches. That's right. I don't tend to think of hot sandwiches. My spouse is, |
| 0:40.2 | and I'll say more about this, but they are such a hot sandwich person that like, you know how if you |
| 0:45.7 | sometimes go into like a bakery or something and they have some ready made sandwiches and they'll |
| 0:49.9 | offer to like warm one up for you? Oh yeah, yeah. Or like Starbucks. If you, if you need to buy a |
| 0:55.4 | sandwich, you can either just take it as it is or they'll warm it up for you by putting it like in a |
| 0:59.9 | panini press or whatever. Or like a convection oven slash microwave, I think. Yeah. Okay. It's not that I |
| 1:06.9 | like the cold sandwich. It's that it just would never occur to me to heat it up. |
| 1:13.6 | And I often don't like the smell of hot sandwiches. |
| 1:16.9 | I was going to say, no, hot sandwiches definitely, like, can produce a funk. |
| 1:21.1 | Yeah, and I don't often like that. |
| 1:23.7 | I get that. |
| 1:24.7 | Okay. |
| 1:25.4 | So in preparation for this, I was talking last night to Acott's D, adult child of the show get that. Okay. So in preparation for this, I was, I was talking last night to |
| 1:28.4 | Acott's D. Adult Child of the Show December and I mentioned that we're going to do this and |
| 1:33.5 | they said, oh, hot sandwiches. Like, I think about those all the time. Really? Yeah. This is so |
| 1:39.9 | interesting. I think Ash does too. I mean, Ash is just straight up a sandwich person. Do you identify as a sandwich person? |
| 1:47.4 | No, because I don't really like cold sandwiches. And I feel like if anyone heard I was a sandwich person, they would assume that I like cold sandwiches. |
| 1:56.1 | Well, because cold sandwiches kind of sit at the intersection of some of your condiment issues like they're cold and |
| 2:01.7 | savory and sometimes they have gloopy stuff like i've mentioned this on the show before but like |
| 2:06.7 | one of my most like central food memories is i was uh working for this company in new york that sent me |
| 2:14.0 | over to work in the office uh the london office for a couple of weeks um I keep forgetting you had one of those jobs. That I had a job, yes. There was this guy who I worked with who I said I was going out to the store and did he want anything. And he said, get me one of those cold sandwiches that are sold like in the triangular containers. And I said, oh, what kind do you want? He's like, I don't care anyone. And were you |
| 2:35.4 | like, what? I was like, whoa, like I both fear and admire this. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know that I'd |
