Continuing my mission to make as many sandwiches from The Encyclopedia of Sandwiches (by Susan Russo) as I can, #5 is the Elvis. It was … ok. I guess I'm not a fan of the bacon and peanut butter combo. The bacon felt super muted and barely salty, mostly sweet. It wasn't bad tho, just ok. Sorry Mr. Elvis, I'm glad at least you enjoyed it.

I’m sorry but the real Elvis is the “fools gold” which is a sandwich that consists of a single warmed, hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with the contents of one jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly, and one pound of bacon. The fools gold is indisputably the most famous sandwich associated with Elvis.
Interesting sandwich! Reminds me that my grandmother, and her mother, used to eat peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. I have never had the nerve to try that combo, and I like weird sandwiches.
I think the thing about this sandwich is that it sounds like one of those that just balls up and sticks to the roof of your mouth. But I guess that’s most PB sandwiches
I was going to say well no wonder he died of a heart attack but then I thought, hey, what happened to that dude that reviewed old sandwhich recipes…I liked those videos.
The recipe calls for mashed banana, not sliced! This is nothing! /s
While I love what you’re doing, and I’m aware you can’t copyright a *recipe*… the material in a printed book does have copyright. I mean, you could probably argue that your taking a picture of the page adds “artistic merit”, but the publisher could also argue that uploading pictures from their book could deprive them of profits. I’m conflicted. The weird part is that simply *re-typing* the recipe would be fine.
This is how he lived such a long and healthy life.
That bread is medium rare, the picture reads medium. Literally inedible😄
Add honey to it. It’s good
