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.

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.
Are they even aware that chop Suey contains vegetables and sauce and flavor?
pass the unsee juice please
Not even a Klingon would eat that and it looks a lot like Gagh
Of course not. It’s dead.
Man, Maine and Oregon love having city names in common.
Massachusetts: Am I a joke to you?
they’re a joke to most
36 states have a Salem
All five boroughs of New York City have their own Main Streets.
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
Oh look, snot and worms. How delightful!
BURN THE WITCH!
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!

Fair enough, there are a few good places. Especially in Portland. But overall it’s slim picking.
