Bombcast misrepresenting the sloppy joe.

During the last bombcast the crew talked about sloppy joe sandwiches as if they are something made of ground meat and a tomato based sauce.   

I'm from England and just looking at that makes me want to throw up.

I've never eaten a sloppy joe that looked like that. Mine fit the bombcast description.

Sloppy Joes are disgusting

Wow, that looks disgusting, though I bet it's alright. They certainly look "sloppy." ;)

Here in Eastern Ohio, our Sloppy Joes match the Bombcast's description.

I don't think that's a sloppy joe. I don't know what it is, but it looks disgusting.

Mine also fit the giantbomb description. Take groundbeef and some sauce, put in bun.

Coleslaw, pastrami and corned beef. FUCKING SIGN ME UP PLEASEEEEE

" I'm from England and just looking at that makes me want to throw up. "

I've never even seen a sloppy joe that looks like that, but it still looks pretty good.

You fail to realize that there is more than one type of Sloppy Joe. Besides, cole slaw if disgusting.

Yeah, the Wikipedia page (and a bunch of recipe sites) seem to agree with the Bomb dudes' description of it.

THIS IS A LIE

A sloppy joe is a deli meat sandwich on rye bread topped with coleslaw.

Sloppy joes are also referred to as:
 Manwich in parts of Northern New Jersey, after the popular name brand sauce, as a distinction from the local variant also known as a "sloppy joe"

That wikipedia page also says

i.e. a New Jersey sloppy joe is a totally different item of food to what the rest of the US call a sloppy joe. It's a case of two completely different foodstuffs sharing the same name. "

I don't know what all you people are talking about. That looks delicious. Way too big, but delicious.

A) The Sloppy Joe discussed by the guys on the Bombcast is disgusting. The idea of a loose meat sandwich is just weird to me, and way too messy.

I'll keep my sloppy joe. that New Jersey sloppy joe just...doesn't look right.

I'm from England so I have no business being in this thread, but, if you ask me, a hamburger is the first thing that comes to my mind.

The Picture in the original post is more like a Reuben then a sloppyjoe where I'm from

After recreating said sandwich, I can officially state that the coleslaw and cheese somewhat disguise both the meaty taste AND texture.

Leave it to New Jersey to ruin sloppy joes...

Looks like a giant fucked up Battenburg.

Majorly fucked up.

Am I the only Englishman who thought a sloppy Joe was just a bun with Chilli in it? "

My school had the best Sloppy Joes and burritos ever, and I don't know how to find delicious replacements.

That looks disgusting. Like seriously

I've never seen a sloppy joe like that, my sloppy joes like most in this thread are sauce and ground beef. But that thing does look kind of tasty.

"A) The Sloppy Joe discussed by the guys on the Bombcast is disgusting. The idea of a loose meat sandwich is just weird to me, and way too messy. "

It's not messy if you don't want it to be.  If you use a bun that's not flimsy and floppy and don't overstuff it with meat, it's as clean as any normal burger with toppings. 

Thinking of it as disgusting without having tried it strictly on the idea of it being loose meat is kind of silly, I think.  It's far less foreign than you're imagining it to be.

This is why other states like to make fun of New Jersey.

"  Coleslaw on a sandwich?  Who came up with that?! "

" A) The Sloppy Joe discussed by the guys on the Bombcast is disgusting. The idea of a loose meat sandwich is just weird to me, and way too messy.

B) ... That also looks disgusting. Why on earth would you put coleslaw on a sandwich!? Once again, I don't like 'loose' sandwiches where the filling can just splurge out. I like my sandwich eating to be relatively clean, thanks.

" God, that looks disgusting.  Coleslaw on a sandwich?  Who came up with that?! "

The regular sloppy joe is well, sloppy to me, though like one poster said if done correctly, it's neat. I've eaten manwhich's version when I was young. I remember it as shredded beef with a BBq like tomatoe based sauce between a Italian roll. The NJ sloppy joe is regional, and looks like a cold variant cousin of the rueben as Vao notes.

Just to say the NJ sloppy joe doesn't look bad to me, though I do not like either corned beef or coleslaw. PPl. get used to things, develop a taste for them.

Square shaped, several inches thick, layers of different things, totally different from the sloppy joe I know. That's more like a neat joe amirite?

Cut that in half and I'll give it a go. 

I'm from Canada and I can tell you that is certainly NOT a sloppy joe. Real sloppy joes are pretty much exactly like the abomination they described on the Bombcast. I really don't know how anyone could like them.
