Hunka hunka sandwich love

I tried making the kids the Elvis sandwich today. Of course I made it this way, rather than this way. I'm pretty sure I could have closed them with the latter's addition of bacon and honey. Please note that the former site claims that Elvis ate 12 to 15 of these at a sitting. Good gracious.

Check the Fool's Gold, purportedly another Elvis fave:

'What, you may be asking, exactly is a Fool's Gold sandwich? As described in The Life and Cuisine of Elvis Presley:

An entire loaf of bread is warmed and then hollowed out. The sandwich is generously spread with peanut butter and an equally thick layer of jelly. Finally, lean bacon has to be cooked, at least a pound fried to crispness, to fill the reamining belly of the loaf. The massive loaf is then downed while the bacon is still hot. The serving size? One loaf per person.

That's right, folks, Elvis once ate (probably on several occasions, actually) an entire hollowed-out loaf of bread, coated in butter and stuffed with PB&J and a pound of fried bacon.'
