My dad used an expression: as fucked up as a soup sandwich. I think this is worse.

Before seeing this abomination, I would have just imagined a clam chowder bread bowl. And those rock.

This article about them is pretty hilarious in spots.
We would dutifully order our sandwiches and about ten seconds into eating his, my dad, with some gooey bean sprouts hanging out of one corner of his mouth, would get this look on his face like he had just chugged some unadulterated lemon juice mixed with vinegar. “See,” my mother would chide him, “you don’t like them.” Nevertheless, we’d find ourselves back at Salem Lowe the following winter.
But here’s the thing. I wouldn’t say that I love the taste of a chop suey sandwich either. I dare say that virtually everyone who lives on Boston’s North Shore would agree with me.
They didn’t like it and contend that no one really does, but they keep going back to order them.

That would make for a good post theme: "Why do people keep going back for food they don't like?"
Off the top of my head I'm thinking about stuff like fruitcakes, chalk-tasting valentines hearts, candy corn for Halloween... except those all have a holiday / special day theme. Hmm...
Gotta sprinkle a little crack into the mix to get em coming back for more
Good point in reality.
Don't some fast food joints (like McD's) add artificial flavoring agents to the hot food such that they get diffused in to the air, whetting peoples taste buds?
Point is that the food never quite tastes as good as it smells, and in fact might make you feel downright badly afterwards. Yet next time you pass by, you might just smell those delicious smells and make the same bad decision again.
Maggots, Michael... You're eating maggots.
How do they taste?
I still believe
Jesus christ, that's food?
Looks like maggots took over a cheeseburger
I wanted to downvote this until I saw the community it was posted to.
Not even a Klingon would eat that and it looks a lot like Gagh
Of course not. It’s dead.
Are they even aware that chop Suey contains vegetables and sauce and flavor?
pass the unsee juice please
Man, Maine and Oregon love having city names in common.
Massachusetts: Am I a joke to you?
they're a joke to most
Food in Maine is mostly garbage. Lots of small shops that just put lobster rolls on the menu and let tourism do its thing keeping them in business.
Reds is absolute garbage by the way.
Shhh don't tell the paying customers that!
Wait, is that the maggot cheese I've heard about?
Did you recently watch that Sam O'Nella about banned foods too? I had heard about that cheese before the video, but it would be a funny (and gross) coincidence that I encountered two mentions of that cheese in less than 24 hours
BURN THE WITCH!
I, too, enjoy wet bread.
Just kidding, I don't. Because I'm normal.
Oh look, snot and worms. How delightful!
I didn’t realize you enjoyed eating vurms.
W…why did anyone even buy this?
expecting good food in New England was a mistake to begin with
Not so sure about Maine but southern New England is awesome for pizza, bagels and sandwiches.
Portland Maine has some amazing restaurants. Not sure what that guy's talking about

only someone from New England and not well traveled would say this though. if you've gone around the block, pizza and bagels are relatively mediocre if not borderline poor there and a coastal town that has good sandwiches is literally true across North America. so sure, if you're from Worcester or something and never gone anywhere outside of new England, then sure, southern New England has great food!

Southern New England is good for pizza? I think you're confusing. New York City with New England.
Connecticut. New haven is fantastic.

There's good food in New England, just not this crap.
not really. there isn't really an impressive food scene here. it's fairly one dimensional where we're essentially only good at raw or boiled seafood. anything cooked and seasoned here is asking for too much when we're majority white here and where even a majority of them are coming from countries very notable for having bland food. there are ethnic enclaves in New England but even their food id say is not great taste wise and expensive compared to other cities since New England is so white that the demand for better ethnic food is low and it's an actual challenge for ethnic food locations to source legitimate ingredients at a fair price.
This is a vomit sandwich.
You vomit before eating it, you eat vomit, and you vomit afterwards.
Well, at least they’re recycling.
I'm probably gonna head to Fall River, MA for a chow mein sandwich instead
clear cause for a Sandwich Inquisition
Double the maggots please.
