Material Culture, Microhistory and Mayhem. The Past and Stuff is a casual and irreverent podcast by Dr. Ashley Bozian and Dr. Tracey Cooper. Each week we challenge each other to identify an historical object, and then discuss what it can tell us as a unique window on the past. Expect an unexpected mesh of connections and terrible jokes, as a two very serious academics (not!), one a Armenian-American millennial and the other a British Gen Xer, have too much fun while trying to understand each other and the history of the world.

The Past and Stuff Sandwich

Posted by:

A tribute to Elvis’s favorite sandwich – Peanut Butter, Bacon and Banana – this sandwich is probably a slightly healthier version (as it is not fried). For this sandwich you will need to dig out your old George Foreman grill or toasted sandwich maker a panini press would work.

Ingredients

Two slices of bread, I like Oat Nut, but whatever will hold up to grilling.

Peanut Butter (I prefer creamy)

Lemon curd

Half a banana

Blueberries (maybe 10 or so)

Bacon, cooked (optional)

Put peanut butter on one side and Lemon Curd on the other (yeah you can use another jam or marmalade if you like). Then add sliced banana to peanut butter side and in between place fresh blueberries (about half and half). If you are using bacon add it on top of banana and blueberries.Carefully put the other piece of bread, jammy-sided down, on top, and give it a little squish to fix things in place, and the place on the heated grill. Leave for about 4 minutes or until desired level of toastiness on the bread.
