I'm pretty confident that I'm still eating a muffaletta.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Pfft. By this logic you're still eating a sandwich if you throw away the bread and simply eat the cold cuts.
If you never bother to put the cold cuts between bread, then I suppose you have a point. It's really something else at that point.
But if you buy a sandwich and fail to eat the bread, how is that not still a sandwich, just one eaten in a peculiar manner?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
An open face sandwich is still a sandwich. Even if all you do is eat the meat and gravy and leave the bread.
Damn. Now I want an open face sammich and mashed taters.

I say if you remove the olive salad and then eat the muffaletta, you are eating a muffaletta.
However, if you remove the olive salad and then give the sandwich to someone else, you are not giving them a muffaletta. You are giving them a nameless sandwich.
It makes sense to me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'd say that a muffaletta without the olives is still a muffaletta. The bread really defines it more than the olives do -- the olives are just customary. (Hmm. The bread is both neccesary and sufficient. The olives are not neccesary; are they sufficient? The meat is neither neccesary nor sufficient.)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Is anyone else hungry?

I would now actually sell a kidney for a Central Grocery muffaletta.

I mean, I don't even like olives!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
