I’m pretty sure there should be some hyphens in the title of Hunter S. Thompson’s recipe for “open face cigarette special hot and cold sandwich with artichoke appetizer.” From The Great American Writers’ Cookbook (ed. Dean Faulkner Wells, 1981).
OPEN FACE CIGARETTE SPECIAL HOT AND COLD SANDWICH WITH ARTICHOKE APPETIZER
Ingredients
1 Artichoke
1 stalk of celery
1 onion
1 tomato
one quarter lb. butter
1 container cottage cheese
1 can Ortega whole green chilis
1 lemon
mayonnaise
vinegar
4 strips of bacon
1 slice dill rye bread
La Victoria green taco sauce
Directions
Fill a large pot three quarters full with water and add celery and half of the onion. Bring to a boil.
Add artichoke, cover and boil for 45 minutes. While you are waiting for the artichoke to cook you can prepare the sauce for it and the sandwich.
Sauce:
Mix 3 heaping tablespoons of mayonnaise with one table spoon of Dijon mustard. Add a splash of vinegar and a squeeze of lemon.
Cigarette Special
Cook bacon and put aside.
Butter the slice of rye bread generously and toast until the bread is light brown and the butter is sizzling.
Spread cottage cheese exactly one quarter inch thick on the toast.
Cut Ortega whole green chilis into 4 one quarter inch strips and place lengthwise on top of cottage cheese.
Add bacon to sandwich.
Cut 3 or 4 thin slices of tomato and place on top of bacon.
Cut 2 or 3 very thin slices of onion and put those on top of the tomatoes.
Then spread another one quarter inch thick layer of cottage cheese.
Salt and pepper and garnish with La Victoria green taco sauce.
Then cover the open face sandwich with Reynolds Wrap, leaving the bottom of the toast uncovered. Timing is crucial at this point. The artichoke should be well-boiled and ready to eat and all sandwich ingredients prepared for the final mix before the bread is toasted for the first time.
The sandwich must be lashed together and toasted (twice) in less than 5 minutes, or the toast will get limp and soggy.
When you have finished eating your artichoke appetizer and are ready to eat the Cigarette Special, place the sandwich back into the toaster oven and toast for about one minute. Remove Reynolds Wrap and you will now have a hot buttered toast cold cottage cheese cigarette special.

Drink good whiskey while boiling artichoke and frying bacon.
