Quest for the Muffuletta

So Dean popped into a coffee shop downtown, and was very surprised when he looked up at the menu and saw... a muffuletta!!! So the quest continues. We waited til Saturday when all 3 of us could go and with fingers crossed got into the car and headed South. We were sure when we got there that the menu would have been changed.... but no.. there it was! We ordered 3, fingers still crossed, Maddie's was without meat of course. Then we patiently waited for our order. Once it arrived we inspected it closely... so far so good, no mayo no mustard... the olive salad looked good.. so we took a bite. Yay! we found a muffuletta... now, this is nowhere near the size of them in New Orleans, you have to squish them to get them into your mouth, but the taste was right. I think tho', to get a real one, we either have to go back to New Orleans ( works for us ) or, learn how to make the olive salad. That will be the new quest then. When we do find out how, I'll post it on the cook book blog! Ok off to Google I go. ( to book plane tickets )
This was our Muffuletta....
This is a New Orlean's Muffuletta!!
