User:Cjmcqueen/Petoskey sandwich

The Petoskey Sandwich is made up of sliced roast beef, a light white cheese (provolone or Munster), and raspberry jam. Similar to a Monte Carlo sandwich by mixing meat and fruit preserves, the Petoskey is served cold and can have lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and other condiments added to it.

History
During the summer of 2009 a group of Boy Scouts of America were traveling through northern Michigan on bike for a High Adventure camp out. The group stopped just north of Petoskey, Michigan in Harbor Springs, Michigan for lunch. Running short of condiments and looking to use what was available, one of the adult leaders decided to add raspberry jelly to his roast beef sandwich. The leader invited others to try it and it was received well. Eventually the group decided the sandwich needed a name and the group agreed upon "The Petoskey" in honor of the city they had just ridden through (and the fact that Spring Harbor sounded funny as a sandwich name.)
