Why!!!

Although I favor peas, I will defend the right of others to hate peas. That is, so long as they keep their proselytizing ways away from me.

Last night we enjoyed a muffaletta.

Looks like a restaurant offering....There's a separate forum for restaurants.

Make your olive salad and let it meld over night. Mortadella  does not exist in Eureka Springs, so I used bacon. After you put the sandwhich together foil wrap it and let it sit for an hour or more.

Some time ago a daughter gave me an Emile Henry ceramic braiser. This is a picture from their website.

While trying to sort things for our move, we uncovered it. Last night I used it to roast a chicken with some vegetables.

Result was similar to something done in a romertopf.

I know how to Google...but, do you have an olive salad recipe you like? 

These sandwiches just worked their way onto my list of stuff I need to make. Can see how the resting time would allow the juice to penetrate the bread and everything else. Sounds delicious.

I read several recipes and then put a salad together. I used green stuffed olives, kalamata olives, capers, giardinieria, garlic, italian herbs, olive oil (almost cover), salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. After it melded I used the oil to brush the inside of the bread before I added the meats and cheese and salad. I used a take and bake loaf because that was what I had. If I were to buy bread for the sandwich, my choice would be ciabatta.

Mufaletta's need the right bread...Its a firm Italian bread with sesame seeds about 8" in diameter and an inch tall. Central Grocery in Nawlin's will sell you their olive salad.

You are, of course, correct. The problem is, no one near Eureka Springs makes the bread you describe and the jarred olive salad is second rate. I was making do,
