Welcome to the Veeky Forums challenge: Monthly edition: Thread 3!
The theme is announced on the 1st of every month, and submissions are welcome all month!
SCORING GUIDELINES
We recommend an 'Iron Chef' style scoring system. This means you, the people of Veeky Forums, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.
Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet your expectations for a category.
-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills -Originality: Creativity in composing the dish -Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter -Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)
The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in appeal.
The theme for May is SANDWICH. Simple enough, right? Well, that depends on how simple you want your entry to be. Be creative, go a bit nuts with it, you're too attached to your dignity anyway.
While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a SANDWICH because that is what people will be voting on.
When you place your entries, please remember to include the timestamp and unique identifier. Toothpick has a "toothpick". Ya Dingus has... toes. Racer X has a Big Black Cartridge.
McChicken copycats will be disregarded and possibly deleted. Rather, all fast food copies will not be included in the voting, unless you can put a damn good original spin on it. Otherwise? You can get fucked.

You should keep your personal biases out of this
Jaxon Cox
Numbaz crunch them like an adult, measuring merit without fault, marking up the 'wiches without glitches now get into the ring and check the result.
Aaron Jenkins
New to this, but how does one go about submitting an entry? Do we just post it here in the thread?
Grayson Kelly
Pretty much. Post a picture of your entry with a timestamp and a unique identifier. Get creative.
Asher Garcia
Making a vertical is encouraged, but not required. The original goal of these competitions was to create OC.
Tyler Cruz
Trips confirm, and the post is correct even without them. Verticals and step-by-step images are nice, but not required. I'll let the voters decide, but I might grumble about it (no I won't grumble, 'm an ethical twat).
Lincoln Bailey
I really want to participate this time, but might as well w8 till we can settle down on the very definition of sandwich in other thread...
Kevin Young
Submit an entry and the votes will decide. What do you have to lose? Dignity? Where do you think you are?
Nathan Harris
FOR ME ITS THE MCCHICKEN
Carson Russell
Thanks for the bump, numbnuts.
Evan Moore
...
Austin Richardson
Ill probably skip.on the vertical, I don't want people learning my autistic cooking secrets.
Caleb Richardson
Just make your best sandy and quit being such a queen
Jayden Thompson
No worries m8, just show off the finished product with a timestamp and a unique identifier and you're golden (not literally [probably]). Go nuts (literally).
Easton Russell
>my stove For reference. This is where you are.
Adam Gomez
How about a John Cena action figure?
Or a dead cat, I think I have one of those lying around too.
Thomas Sanders
I'm thinking making some almond butter, blackberry jam and herby bread. Might deep fry the whole thing.
Noah Reyes
LIke a sweet monte christo?
Dominic Edwards
Whatever you got, although I'd advise against the dead cat.
Jackson Foster
Thanks, N. Any idea what happened to B? Is she ok?
Josiah Thompson
...
Brandon Gutierrez
I say french onion soup served in a bread bowl is a sandwich, where would I fall?
Brandon Watson
The soup isn't encased or held by food, and requires a dish. You're off the chart you absolute madman.
Leo Lopez
I recognize that thread!
Ryan Nelson
I'd say we can't be too traditional with ingredients since that would be boring and limiting, but they have to be savory and not a dessert of some kind, so ingredient neutral the structure thing is harder, but I'd say we should keep it classic aka the ingredients have to be between to pieces of something or at least two somethings
Carter Gray
Anythings possible...
Gavin Evans
I'm really quite looking forward to the arguments that will stem from this month's theme. Got the vodka and the crisps nice and ready.
Elijah Bennett
One of the judging categories is Challenge Goals. If someone tries to pass off a taco as a sandwich they will likely be judged accordingly.
Kevin Hall
Exactly. Contestants can make what they want and post it, but the vote is given to you, the people [/banepost].
Ryder Diaz
Why savoury? A peanut and jelly sandwich isn't a sandwich?
David Gonzalez

Nathaniel Martin
>McChicken copycats will be disregarded and possibly deleted. Your not a mod retard. Also where is Borneo? Who the fuck are you?
Gabriel James
I'm the cunt who tallied the results of the first month. Borneo has, apparently, vanished off the face of the planet. I'm just trying to keep the contest up.
Oliver Green
Hey I have a question - can I have multiple entries? What if I make like six different sandwiches (just because I like sandwiches) would I be allowed to post them?
Alexander Long
If you posted as different "people", I suppose. But that raises ethical concerns as to voting (Yellow Mug-teir shit).
Elijah Butler
>still being this butthurt that yellowmug won the popular vote
Benjamin Russell
Nigga, I don't care, cos I don't vote. I just like to see OC instead of fucking tendies.
Adrian Sanders
Thank you glorious Numbaz for keeping it alive RIP in pieces B (hope she's okay really tho).
Last month was a down time for me and the challenge last month (something good came out of this hell hole???) was good for me.
So in honor, I shall deliver something omitting >sprouts as to dodge the vegan stereotype as well as >veggie burger >tofu >seitan >tempa
I shall strive to make something truly tasty and unique, and maybe... just maybe... make it look half decent this go around. No promises on that last part though.
Gavin Nguyen
Be a hero and make seitan.
Aiden Morgan
heres mine. no timestamp but cos didnt know i would enter yet
2 different bought ciabatta sammiches with 2 dif cutlet on both,(metvurst,gralicham,smokedham,smoked turkey.) onion,paprika,tomato,pickles,lettuce,jalopenos,ramoulade sauce, gouda and creamcheese.
Luke Bailey
Heres my phillycheesesteak attempt
Aaron Cruz
That looks tasty af. Reserving scorings until there's a few more entries tho.
Nicholas Allen
Thanks for the entries, but keep in mind you have until the 24th to enter. Maybe pick one particular sandwich that you do very well and focus on that one (with timestamp and identifier, natch). I'd devour the shit out of the cheesesteak.
Cameron Mitchell
Voting starts on the 24th. You can vote before then, but I'll be buggered if I'm going to count votes before all the entries are in.
Josiah Sullivan
cheesestake definitely seems more apetizing, I'll wait with rating until we have more contestants
Xavier Wright
In four and a half years of veganism, I've never had tempah or seitan. But these challenges (last month and the amazing race one that never continued) pushed me to try new things so maybe I will.
Josiah Ross
New things and dank OC are the reasons for this contest. Go fucking crazy with it.
Ian Davis
I was gonna make it once but someone stole my wheat gluten. I guess you can make it with regular wheat flour too. I think the idea of using straight wheat gluten is so that you can skip the rinsing step in the process(?). Anyways, looks pretty easy. Easier than making bread. Make it extra salty and add a little dill and other pickling spices. Russian dressing. Sauerkraut, rye bread. Vegan reuban sandwich. You could even be a super hero and make your own sauerkraut.
Surata's multigrain tempeh is pretty good if you're looking for a tempeh product to try. Saying that as a meatfag.
Jacob Cruz
>someone stole my wheat gluten. Who do you live with, a super-specific super-villain? If so, they've probably violated the lease agreement. Looking forward to your entry (wo)mang.
Brandon Lewis
You're a true inspiration meatfag.
Austin Jenkins
Fucking also, I've made and had kimchi before but I've never had sauerkraut. (Obviously incredibly different but still essentially fermented cabbage)
I feel a calling...
Michael Brooks
I wonder how an open-faced sandwich falls on this chart.
David Roberts
get gud and do it, faggot! Industry. Meh.
Wyatt Butler
i can't understand your retardation speak. It says : hugh huh huh huh I'm a fag, pay attention to me. Sorry. I hope you make food.
Fag
Angel Torres
Shut up. Rude?
Levi Russell
Obviously a structural rebel, same form factor as pop-tarts.
Ayden Bailey
>t. apologist
Fuck you, watch me faggot.
Joseph Foster
I was going to make my entry last night, but I ended up raging out cause I couldn't find my new camera. I was too pissed to cook and ended up ordering a pizza instead. Will make it tonight and take pics with my shitty phone.
Benjamin Peterson
Looking forward to it, m80. As for the camera >do you remember where you last saw it?
Christian Rivera
yellowmug fucked himself and the others hes a dildo
Josiah Price
Yeah, I remember where I saw it, but I don't remember where I put it after that. I used a black sock as a bag like a retard because there's a bunch of black socks all over the floor in my room. Maybe it will show up, but I'm over it for now. It was a cheapo camera anyways, nothing fancy.
Matthew Edwards
Have mercy on me for asking this for a friend: Is a biscuit sandwich sandwich enough for the meta here or will "they" get lynched by poor ratings?
Tyler Sullivan
Who cares? Just post that shit. There's no overarching scores or prizes. If it turns out shitty, make something better and post it with a different identifier or under a different name.
Juan Cook
True
>t. someone who overthinks everything
Bentley Smith
I looked forward to his entry each round more than anything else.

Here's my McCreamcheese Pesto Stuffed Chicken Sandwich. I took some chicken breasts, stuffed em with a cream cheese and pesto mixture, breaded them, cooked one side in a pan, placed them in a baking dish cooked side up, and then cooked them in an oven for about 25 minutes. Next, I toasted the buns in the oven for a couple minutes. After that, I put some mayonaisse and grey poupon mustard on the bread, topped the chicken with swiss cheese, and then placed the chicken between the buns. Vertical possibly coming later. Timestamp/identifier incoming.

Luis Reed
Thanks for the entry.
Easton Morgan
No worries, I was just offering the least helpful comment ever.
Robert Sullivan
No worries, I was just offering the least helpful comment ever.
Isaac Anderson
Press past your former boundaries. You can do this! You can do that! You might be able to do the other.
Robert Edwards
Cut me a break I just got out of jail.
>tfw only thing to eat for twelve hours with a blood alcohol level of .24 was a handful of wilted lettuce.

You wanna talk about food cringe, holy shit there was this stuff on the tray that was like meat sludge with... things... in it.

Jose Anderson

Bentley Wilson
I'll go ahead and r8 the current submissions if that's ok
Presentation: 2/5 (they're just your average sammiches) Originality: 2/5 (nothing special but a nice mix of ingredients) Appeal: 3/5 (I'd eat them) Challenge Goals: 4/5 (open faced sandwich) Total: 11/20
Presentation: 3/5 (not very artful but good enough for fast food) Originality: 2/5 (just a normal philly cheesestake) Appeal: 5/5 (I feel an intense, primal craving for this sandwich) Challenge Goals: 5/5 (no problems here) Total: 15/20
Presentation: 3/5 (nothing special but I like the layers) Originality: 4/5 (a stuffed chicken sandwich is fairly original) Appeal: 4/5 (looks tasty but a bit too meaty, would be 5/5 with some fitting veggies) Challenge Goals: 5/5 (definitely a sandwich) Total: 16/20
Presentation: 3/5 (weirdly appealing, maybe because of the way they're stacked on one another or maybe it's the plate) Originality: 1/5 (just a grilled sammich with common ingredients) Appeal: 4/5 (I'd eat that and probably enjoy it quite a bit) Challenge Goals: 5/5 (that's a sandwich alright) Total: 13/20
Isaac Robinson
DUI degeneracy and failure to provide ID. It was in my pocket I just unleashed my Libertarian power-level with the whole >I know my rights, am I being detained, I do not consent, am I free to go thing and got a class b misdemeanor for it. Class b first offense for the DUI too
Noah Cook
Thanks for the entry yo. I'll call you "Skilletfag" because of the cast iron skillet in your picture, unless you wanted to use something else in the picture for your Unique Identifierâ„¢.
Evan Jackson
tang you 4 r8n
Michael Thompson
I assume you're thinking something like BLT no top slice, so ingredient purist, structure neutral.
Jordan White
>claims to be vegan >drinks beverages that were created through the deaths of billions of yeasts
So how much of a bitchmade nigga u gotta b to go make a sandwich for fucking Veeky Forums anywho
Charles Morales
So how much of a bitchmade nigga u gotta b to go whinging on Veeky Forums about people actually cooking instead of fagging up the place with fastfood threads?
Luke Hernandez
? No, like a hot turkey sandwich.
Luke Nelson
True neutral
Tyler Ross
Structure Neutral Ingredient Purist. It's a "sandwich" (open face) with a protein and a sauce. Welcome to SNIP town.
