Hey, I'm Jars. I totally feel like a lurker lately! I've been on the board since... 2001/2 or thereabouts, I reckon. When I was about 17? Which is horrifying. Apologies to all for my general toolishness when young. I'm sure I must be less of a tool now.. right? Right? Guys?
I have recently become a Londoner, am accidentally married to a real live American and have two cats, Pete and Clive. One's a girl, one's a boy.
I've met a decent number of Buffistas and they are never less than interesting.
This is a very cool thread!
olives
No.
cilantro
No.
muffuletta
Maybe, if I ever get to try one.

How can you not love these? Truly, any form of punctuation over which there is controversy is a source of joy. (When it comes to grammar I'm a descriptivist, not a prescriptivist. Socio-linguistics is a god among academic fields, mightily straddling the humanities and the social sciences. Yes.)
And because it's important -
olives
ALL OF THEM IN MY FACE NOW PLEASE
cilantro(or coriander if you're a filthy foreigner like me)
DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN AND ALL HIS NAKED ANGELS NO GOD WHY
muffuletta
still not entirely sure what it is. Sandwich, right? I'll give it a go. Someone make one for me.
edited for my hideous formatting.

If you're a "no" on olives, I'd say the muffuletta is not for you.
Unless you are a crazy person who does not believe that olives are essential to the muffulettaness of a muffuletta.
Hey, Hec, where can I get a turkey muffuletta around here? I think the only turkey muffulettas I've had are from Schlotzsky's or Jason's Deli.

Why don't you get one with the Italian processed pig bits like everybody else?
Why must you be so difficult and choosy?
This is why you're not married. It's the turkey.
Just answer the question, man.
Aha. I did bookmark The Great Muffaletta Debate. It takes about seventy posts of olive hate for the true semantic battle to begin. Man, that was five years ago.
Oh!! A friend of mine went there, and I had a bite of her Papa Sam, and it was so damn good. I have been wanting to go there. And now I have even more incentive. Thanks!
Damn, that is a lot of sandwiches. I can't find a muffaletta, though.
What I find particularly funny about the Great Muffaletta Battle is my extreme stance on NO OLIVES.
Five years later and thanks to juliana, I love ALL OLIVES and would gladly try a muffaletta now, provided it didn't have bologna in it. Cause there are some tastes that just can not be gotten over.
