No,  Steve...as the saying goes,   you're a day late and a dollar short! 
The sandwich in question is a muffaleta...although I think I've "muffed" the 
spelling of the thing.

There was a restaurant in Seattle which used to offer a Muffaleta Spread 
with a basket of bread.  It was sure good for anyone (like me) who loves 
olives.

All these posts about ARSC and food make me want to sing "Do You Know What 
It Means To Miss New Orleans?"

I was only there once,  but I'll never forget it...a very memorable three 
days back in 1985.
