I dreamed a dream of foodcrimes

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."

Date: 2019-03-10 02:08 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2019-03-10 08:46 pm (UTC)β To 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.

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