Tal, please know that this conglomeration of words made me laugh aloud twice this morning: "It looks like a squid got trapped in a sea of its own blood and was then cruelly forced to wear a bread yarmulke." Thanks for all the words, wisdom & sandwiches!
I was horrified after moving to Texas and receiving "chow mein" that was a packet of crispy noodles and a very brown saucy container. That being said, all of those pics look kind of bomb...
Being very familiar with chow mein as a staple on Chinese restaurant menus in England growing up, I saw the title of this post and was like "No, no, no! That can't possibly be right!" and then my imagined horror was confirmed when I clicked through to the article. OMG! Cthulhu on a bun, indeed...
This was delightful! Seconding the love for the bread yarmulke. Good God, I’ve seen a lot of horrifying American food, but this is the first time reading about one has caused me physical pain. A culinary felony.

That photo of the chop suey sandwich will haunt me... 😩
Way to get 2 out of the way at once. Good riddance. And include Jacob and Esau, which actually works.
