About
A snippet from bottomlesskitchen.com: "This is quite the meaty hero sandwich! We are firm believers that warmed up deli ingredients = awesome. Mortadella is in Italian deli meat, which is far superior to the more common equivalent, bologna. In fact, this sandwich was so good that PAB made another for his in-between-lunch-and-dinner-meal the next day."
