mmm-yoso!!! is a food blog, written by some friends who live (or used to live) in the San Diego area. We write about whatever we eat, wherever we eat it and let you enjoy also. Vicariously. Today, Cathy is helping you be vicarious, along with Kirk, ed (from Yuma) and Vicky.
So, it is a new year and there are resolutions made that need some time before saying they have stuck. I hope you are still sticking to yours. The Mister and I were in search of lunch the other day and stopped here, on El Cajon Boulevard.
BMH Italian. It used to be Mama Lina's, and those products are still sold here.
A small Italian bakery, market and deli inside along with a small seating area next door (14 chairs, 5 tables) and a menu consisting mostly of sandwiches, but also soups, salads, pastas and desserts.
I got the BMH – a cold sandwich- Capacolla, ham and provolone on a fresh white roll. Lettuce, tomato, onions, mustard, mayonnaise and house dressing. (Regular price is $7.75, but only $6 for seniors and with student ID).
The Mister ordered a "Ba Da Bing"-a hot sandwich- turkey, ham, pastrami and Provolone. ($7.95- not all items on the menu have a student discount). The toasted bread, even though the same as mine, tasted even better.
What caught my eye when we walked in was this Saeco coffee machine. You get a token for $1.25 when you order and then can choose your coffee, hear the beans being ground and wait to take it from the machine.
I got a cappuccino. The coffee had a good fresh flavor and the milk foam was rich. Something fun to do.
If you are in this area, stop in. Hours are limited and Tues-Fri from 5-6 (when it closes) some select cold sandwiches are $6 for everyone.

The next time, I went with The Mister for lunch (he has been working late and now seems to also get into work late…) and we each got a bowl of 'egg drop' soup, a chicken based soup broth (very rich) with tomatoes and onions. There was a lemon note to it and the egg part was very fine. It was not spicy, as Tom Yum Gai would be.
