Not Paleo

Courtesy of Diana Rowland, the “potato po’boy,” a New Orleans treat with which I was previously unacquainted.
A hoagie roll slathered with mayonnaise, filled with french fries, and then drowned in brown gravy.
A very good thing, if this is the sort of thing you think is good.
Of course, your pancreas can disagree.
Clearly it needs cheese curds, so it can be a poutine boy.
(Acadian and cajun are cognates for a reason.)
This would be called a ‘chip butty’ in the north of England.
Wouldn’t a chip butty have butter rather than mayonnaise? Because otherwise it would be a chip mayo, right?
Dave Bishop, I was wondering if it could be called “extreme lacing”.
I’d go for butter rather than mayo but I expect that salad cream might be the dressing of choice.
Hhhhmmm!? Interesting technical points there! Nevertheless, to north Britons, the key ingredients are chips (i.e. fries) and bread. You can chuck anything else on you like – but it’s still a chip butty.
