Brian's Gross Sandwich

Okay, I know that this is silly but can anyone think of any fics where the infamous avocado, tuna, peanut butter and tabasco sandwich from hell is featured? Or maybe a fic where Brian is caught eating some other weird combination of food?

If you don't know what sandwich I'm talking about please refer to Fuck Yeah QAF's sandwich play by play, which is possibly my favorite blog post of all time.

Thanks!

Because Brian was so weight conscious and always working out and in the early seasons spouted the "no carbs" lifestyle, this combination of food would not be surprising for him to eat because it was loaded with protein, healthy fat, and the bread (in keeping with that image) was probably a multi-grain. Consuming fats with high protein is important to feel the satisfaction of being full when not taking in a lot of carbs. Also, tabasco sauce - because of its hotness - ups the metabolism. I know about this as my grown sons, and myself on a smaller scale, eat this way. Had the scene fully played out, he probably would not have mixed the tuna with the other stuff, but rather drained it and added the tabasco sauce to flavor it, and eaten it separate from the sandwich. I have to admit though, even if eaten separately, the thought of all of that combining in my tummy makes me feel a bit quizy. LOL
