Sloppy Joes on Fresh Rolls

If you have ever been to America, then you surely would have the honor of eating a Sloppy Joe. It’s basically meat and ketchup, but it is SO much more than that. It’s just like what they ate in the ‘old days,’ whilst riding Cadillacs to diners with black and white checkered tiles and roller skating waitresses. It’s also something you picture yourself eating at summer camp, or even just camping with your family. It’s so simple, yet  so important to American history, that I couldn’t picture the American we all know today without the invention of the Sloppy Joe. So thank you, Joe, for inventing this beautiful and sloppy food you decided to name after yourself. Thank you.
