What the heck is a Lincoln log sandwich?

Question

It was in the Sopranos. Carmella made some kind of sandwich I had never seen before and she called it a Lincoln log sandwich. It looked like a hot dog or some kind of sausage, split in half with either cream cheese or sour cream on it. I have never heard of this before. I tried looking up lincoln log sandwich and log sandwich, nothing came up. Anyone have an idea of what this is?

LMAO! I just did the same search for exactly the same reason. The whole scene, from the moment she called them Lincoln Log sandwiches, struck me that this was family snack from AJ's childhood... Like my mom's "bockalo parfait," which is strictly her own and got its name because I couldn't pronounce "popsicle" when I was a kid.

But my real question for all of us who have watched, backed-up our TiVos and rewatched that scene to figure out what a Lincoln Log sandwich really is: Have any of you guys actually TRIED one? Are they any good?

Am I going to be the guinnea pig here?

Thanks. This is the most logical explanation. I did some further research and apparently in Seattle it is pretty common to dress hot dogs with cream cheese. I had never heard about hot dogs with cream cheese before. It is a weird snack, but part of me wants to try it out.

Answer 4

hahaha I just watched the Soprano's too and came on to ask this question and you beat me to it.

Answer 5

I was just coming here to ask the same thing!

After close analysis of the segment (thanks via DVR) it was two pieces of bread, topped with four hotdogs sliced down the middle and stuffed with cream cheese. Sounds weird, but those Italians obviously know how to cook, so it must be good!!! =)

Answer 6

My question exactly!! I checked every search engine possible and there are no recipes. Oh well, hopefully someone, somewhere will come up with the correct ingredients!!

Answer 7

I am also looking for an answer to this question. I watched the episode of The Sopranos last night three times trying to figure it out. I can say for sure that the white substance you see on the sandwich is, in fact, cream cheese because you can clearly see Carmella returning a package of this to the refrigerator after she makes the sandwiches.

Answer 8

The tub she is putting in the fridge is Philadelphia ... you can tell from the logo.

Answer 9

Answer 10

lol im watching it now and paused to find out what it is.

hot dogs split open with a knife, filled with cream cheese on top to toast 2 dogs per toast.

idk but im still hungry

Answer 11

haha i just paused it to ask that question too... they look gross ...no wonder Aj doesnt want them! and judging by the aftermath they must be pretty terrible to contlemplate eating!

what are they! haha cant believe this post has started!

Answer 12

My husband and I were trying to figure that out too. I come from a long line of Italians, and my Grandmother, Aunts etc. came up with what some, not familiar with Italian customs, might find odd or different, none of which were a Lincoln Log sandwich!!

Answer 13

Okay so we know it was toast, with hotdog wieners split with cream cheese filling but are the hotdogs cold, warm, or hot?

I think it sounds like a descent snack albeit a little on the fattening side. Oh well that is what they make light cream cheese for! Off I go to the kitchen...
