Do you remember Big Boy Slim Jims? Maybe I am dating myself, is Big Boy
still around? In my younger days the place to "be" was Big Boy
on a Friday or Saturday night, hanging out for hours, hanging with all your
friends. Somehow the smell of all that deep fried food permeated the
smell of cigarette smoke that was thick in the air, this was back in the day
when nobody knew just how harmful tobacco smoke was, not sure what we thought,
but we sure didn't think there was any harm in it. Anyway, I digress, this is a
Big Boy Slim Jim wannabe, and it comes pretty close! Have a few napkins
handy to wipe the drips and take a bite of nostalgia..... wonderful!
Almost Big Boy Slim Jim
1 c. mayo
1 T. finely chopped onion
2 T. dill pickle relish (I chopped up dill pickle)
2 T. dill pickle juice
Mix ahead and let be in fridge awhile if possible (I often don't).
Hoagie buns
Ham
Swiss cheese
Tomato
Lettuce
Brown ham. I prefer regular left over ham, not lunch meat. Heat a frying pan and liberally grease it with butter. Then put the hoagie bun face down and lightly brown. Flip bun over on frying pan and spread Big boy sauce on bottom (or both) sides of bun. Layer ham, swiss cheese, tomato and lettuce. Close bun and flatten with spatula. Serve and demolish!

Looks good and believe it or not, we do still have Big Boy's around here. And they still do have the best Slim Jim's. Karen
