Cooking instruction summary:

The instructions below are for standard grills. If you have a dedicated smoker, you no doubt know how to prepare it for smoking.Prepare your charcoal grill for indirect heating using lump charcoal (if using a gas grill, light one side of the grill to medium-high)Drain the wood chips and wrap in a foil packet. Cut small slits in the foil, so smoke can escape. (If you have a smoker box for grills, you can use that instead.) Place the packet on top of the coals/burner shield and wait for smoke to begin streaming from the slits.Place one of the corn cobs on the grate opposite the heat. If using a gas grill, open all vents wide, and cover the grill with the lid askew so air can flow in. Position the lid vent over the corn so that the smoke will flow over the corn and out the vent above it. If using a gas grill. Let the corn smoke for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it turns a light honey color.While the one ear of corn smokes, cut the kernels from the second cob. Add the corn, mayo, basil, and vinegar to a blender. When the smoked corn is ready, slice the its kernels from the cob and add to the blender. Puree the mixture until smooth. Set aside.Slice the loaf of bread in half across the equator (like a hamburger bun).Optional: lightly toast the cut sides of the loaf under the broiler.Spread the cut sides of the loaf very generously with the smoked corn mayonnaise.On the bottom half, shingle one layer of tomato slices to cover the cut side. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add another layer, and season with salt and pepper. If your loaf is thick, add a third layer and season. Sprinkle the top layer with the minced basil.Add the other half of the loaf to close the sandwich.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
