Good morning,
I am in search of a school cafeteria Sloppy Joe recipe that was served here in Winston Salem NC in the 70's.
My husband has me on a mission...lol...He is telling me he doesn't recall any tomato based sauce in this.
So I was needing extra help in researching.Hope you can help.
Hi Deb,
I had no success finding any particular mention of the sloppy joes served at Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools.
Sloppy Joes almost always contain some sort of tomato product: ketchup, tomato sauce, tomato soup, barbecue sauce,
pizza sauce, or even spaghetti sauce, etc. However, there is a lack of consistency in the food world, so Winston-Salem
school cafeterias may have served such a sandwich and called it a “sloppy joe.” If people can call a recipe “filé gumbo”,
when it doesn’t contain any filé powder (sassafras) or any gumbo (okra), then I guess they can call something a “sloppy joe”
when it doesn’t contain any tomato based sauce. I found a few recipes called “sloppy joes” that did not contain any
tomato-based sauce. Such recipes are basically just browned hamburger meat with onion and green pepper. Different recipes
use various things such as vinegar or mustard or spices to liven them up. See below.
Also, a sandwich like you describe is sometimes called a “loose meat hamburger”: 02-15-2010
You might try to find a Winston-Salem message board or forum and post a request there.

Hi Barbara,
Sorry, that one doesn’t seem to be available. I’ll post this on the site in case a reader has it.
