New York sandwich shop – Salumé Panini has added to their menu the world’s first line of alcoholic sandwiches. These lunches are infused with different kinds of liquors, like scotch or gin and if you eat enough it’s maybe possible to get drunk.
At New York’s Salumé panini shop, customers can fill their bellies and get wasted at the same time, and I don’t mean by washing down the food with some beer. This innovative establishment is serving the alcohol inside the sandwich, so you’re sort of eating and drinking at the same time. Their unique menu includes items like prosciutto & gin sandwiches, Surryano ham & rye whiskey or prosciutto & beetroot with scotch, and prices range from $11 for a scotchwich to $18 for the Bulleit bourbon and ham.
It’s not yet clear how much alcohol is actually in the sandwiches, with some sources claiming the booze is “dripped” over the tasty treats, and other saying it’s “poured”. Also, it’s not mentioned if you need to be over 21 to order one of Salumé’s alcoholic sandwiches, especially since the alcohol in the food is not cooked in any way, thus retaining all its strength.
Unfortunately I don’t live anywhere near New York so won’t get the opportunity to try one of these liquor lunches but if you have then tell us about the experience in the comments below.
