What are the ingredients of a Po Boy Sandwich?
Answers:
*go to wikipedia for detailed info.
Standard options include ham, turkey, and roast beef with or without cheese. These are normally served cold, although the bread may be briefly toasted. The roast beef po' boy is generally served hot with gravy, known as "debris" because it is made with pieces of meat that fall in as the roast cooks. At Mother's Restaurant in New Orleans, one can see the pans in which the ham and beef is roasted and from which the debris is made. They also offer the Ferdi Special, combining roast ham and roast beef. Other common po' boys are meatball (usually served with tomato gravy) and hot sausage.
Seafood versions are served hot and include fried shrimp, oysters, crawfish, trout, soft shell crab, and/or catfish.
An unusual version, more common in the past than today, is the french fry po' boy. Made with fried potatoes and served with debris gravy, it was a less expensive option to meat.
"Darlin', you want dat dressed, or what?" is still a question you can hear from a New Orleans waitress or counterperson. A "dressed" po' boy has lettuce, tomato and pickles, mayonnaise and onion optional. Non-seafood po' boys will also usually have mustard, but the customer is expected to specify whether they want "hot" or "regular"--the former being a coarse grained Creole mustard (such as produced by Zatarain's) and the latter being American yellow mustard. Mother's Restaurant, a popular lunch stop in New Orleans off Poydras St., uses shredded green cabbage rather than lettuce for its dressed sandwiches.
