Last night's dream, part 1:

Denny's unveiled a new set of menu additions for... I don't know if it had a name, but various kinds of grilled tortilla sandwiches.

Like, picture a grilled cheese sandwich, okay? Picture the texture of the bread, all buttered and crisp on the outside, fluffy and, well, breadlike on the inside. Now picture if someone took a somehow-thick-as-bread tortilla and did the same thing to it, then folded it in half and put sandwich filling in the middle. I might possibly be talking about the mutant offspring of a soft taco at this point.

But when I say sandwich filling, I mean, like, actual "things you feed your six-year-old" sandwiches. There was an entire line of them, but the three I remember include actual grilled cheese, peanut butter & jelly, and a lettuce/tomato/some sort of shredded meat (I think ham but could have been turkey) blend.

Last night's dream part 2:

I woke up about an hour before my alarm went off, tried to go back to sleep, and kept having 10-15 minute doze-off sessions, and every single one of them had a follow-up dream where I was telling someone (friends/family/etc.) about this and they reacted with equal parts "yeah that sounds like something Denny's would do all right" and "I want one."

...You don't go to Denny's to make intelligent life choices.

You go to Denny's because it's 3 AM and you're so high that you need the food now but lack the coordination to make it yourself.

I don't have to close my eyes for that, I can think of a number of my former classmates who fit that description perfectly. XP

*makes a note to pass this idea on to the Denny's right around the corner because that sounds like something that would totally work around here*

A quesadilla?

I mean, quesadillas by name have to have cheese in them, sure, because otherwise they'd just be dillas, but you could certainly make a BLT dilla.

I have absolutely seen recipes for non-cheese quesadillas.

I have also seen the outraged comments that it was no true quesadilla.

I would definitely eat, like, a hummusdilla or something like that.

The foodstuff I was thinking of in my comment above involved sweet potato instead of cheese.

Hmmm...I usually have texture issues with anything but fire-roasted sweet potato on a stick, but with a crispy tortilla round it, maybe that would work. I'd certainly try it.

The idea of a thick tortilla sounds almost like naan bread. But what I really wanted to mention is that peanut butter and jelly on a sandwich is such a... bizarre and foreign combination to me - it's like someone suggesting having tomatoes with chocolate. This must be what it was like when my German cousins had never thought of the concept of melting cheese on toast - it was a totally new idea to them that was so mundane in my world.

This is separate from my already-present disgust of peanut butter - just the idea of its smell and texture makes me very uncomfortable. It's something that does exist in Scotland, but Americans put it in absolutely everything.

An Australian friend of mine once told me the idea of peanut butter as a confection was "uniquely American" and it was interesting following down those lines. ("So it's just plain jelly you eat then? Nothing else? Just sweet preserves on bread?")

βTo be fair, the amount of sugar (or high fructose corn syrup) that goes into so much American peanut butter… I don't know if it's like that everywhere.

In some ways, a lot of American food is confections. It's like Candy Land, but more disquieting.

αIsn't that textural description almost like one of those Taco Bell things? A chalupa or gordita or something?

βI mean, “mutant offspring of a soft taco” would about cover it if so.

"Mutant offspring of a soft taco" sounds like a description of most of Taco Bell's menu.
