(Makes 4 regular or 8 small sandwiches) About Loosemeat Sandwiches: Called
a Maid-Rite in the some parts of eastern Iowa, loosemeats (with an S) are
native to Sioux City, Iowa. They are also known as "taverns", "Charlie
Boys", and "Tastees". Generally the sandwiches have an S on the end. They
are more loosely defined as "sloppy joes without the slop". In my native
South, they almost always have a dash of Liquid Smoke tossed in, and we
even call them "barbecues" even though they aren't. EB Waters.
