ELVIS'S FOOL'S GOLD LOAF (SANDWICH)



Elvis's Fool's Gold Loaf (Sandwich) image

Please don't be hard on me when rating this! I would never make it myself and put this on here more out of interest to Elvis fans. THE STORY: On the night of February 1, 1976, Elvis was at his home Graceland entertaining Capt. Jerry Kennedy of the Denver Colorado police force, and Ron Pietrafeso of Colorado's Strike Force Against Crime. The three men began discussing the Fool's Gold Loaf sandwich and Elvis decided he wanted one right then. The men flew two hours to Denver, arriving at 1:40 AM. The plane taxied to a special hangar where the passengers were greeted by the owner of the Colorado Mine Company, Buck Scott, and his wife Cindy who had brought 22 fresh Fool's Gold Loaves for the men. They spent three hours in the hangar eating the sandwiches. When they were done, they flew back to Memphis without ever leaving an airport. (taken from Gloria Pitzer's website). Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Look for fresh, ripe bananas, creamy peanut butter, and thick-cut bacon.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better and give it a nice, crispy texture.
  • Spread the peanut butter evenly: Don't be stingy with the peanut butter! Spread it evenly over both slices of bread.
  • Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas are sweeter and have a better flavor than unripe bananas.
  • Cook the bacon until it's crispy: Crispy bacon is the best kind of bacon for an Elvis sandwich.
  • Assemble the sandwich carefully: Place the bacon and banana slices on one slice of bread, and then top with the other slice of bread. Press down gently to secure the sandwich.

Conclusion:

The Elvis sandwich is a classic for a reason. It's a simple sandwich, but it's packed with flavor. The combination of peanut butter, banana, and bacon is a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory. If you've never tried an Elvis sandwich, you're missing out! Give it a try the next time you're looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.
