Favorite sandwich?
Since we seem to be on a "faves" kick lately . . .
I'm eating a turkey sandwich with mayonnaise (GOTTA have mayo w/turkey!), cheddar, and roasted red pepper strips. yum!
i also like cheese and mustard sandwiches (with or without ham)
could be cowards for all I care as long as they know what to do with it......
(no favorite food-type sandwiches)
Chicken Salad Club on Wheat Toast, add Swiss Cheese.
Especially good with a load of chips to be used to scoop up the bits of chicken salad that try to escape from a particularly slippery club (they really need those frilly toothpicks to maintain structural integrity).
Toasted millet bread, Russian dressing, roast beef, lettuce,
Wickles.
Semolina bread long roll:
roasted turkey
mayo
roasted red peppers
perfectly cooked bacon
sprouts
sprinkle of goat cheese
LJ, How far a drive is it from upstate NY to your place?
Pulled pork on a bun with coleslaw and Carolina BBQ sauce.

7 HOURS to Old Forge, 6 Hours to Utica
If I get and early start tomorrow I may be in time for lunch. Will you save me some?
drats! I remembered we are having company over for mem.day.
Recently: Cajun fish sandwich at Grinds Cafe, in the Eleele Shopping Center, on the
Kaumualii Highway.
I just had:
Toasted Arnold 12 grain bread, raw red pepper, baby spinach, pulled rotisserie chicken breast, and olive oil mayo swammich with 2 dill pickle spears on the side.
the spot.....it has been hit.
A Bacon Beagle Burger with buddy Bob Barno at the Regal Beagle in Ada. And Beer.
We just liked saying Bacon Beagle Burger over and over, but when those burgers came to the table, it was like one of the great moments in burger exploration: you could not ask for a better burger. Or so it seemed, at the time. ;)
Is it made with real Beagle?
That would be good.
Surprisingly enough, there was a bar in my college town named after the bar on Three's Company! You'd think it might be lame, but it was a decent college bar. So, no, no beagles were harmed in the making of the favorite sandwich I remembered so fondly.
Smartass. :)
We had a Regal Beagle also in our town. But it was a gay bar!
Layers of thinly sliced salami (preferably Gallo) on a chewy sourdough roll with mayo, spicy mustard, aged white cheddar, a little lettuce, and lots of pepperoncini.
Oh, and a dill pickle. All sandwiches must be eaten with a dill pickle.
Just tried this yesterday and it is now my favorite sandwich ever:
Open faced sandwich made with:
-whole wheat bread
-honey mustard
-sliced turkey
-sliced nectarine
-chunks of brie cheese
serve with a salad made from baby arugula thinly sliced vidalia onion tossed in olive oil.
Tuna fish with a slice of ham, and miracle whip on white bread.
@ chocolatl -- yum!
@ fargon -- oooookay--that sounds fairly disgusting.
Does it count if it's a bagel?
My favourite ever was bacon and egg with brown sauce from Crocs.
They got the bacon just right - not too crispy and no white flabby fat hanging over the edge (BLEURGH!) and the egg yolk was still runny. Gorgeous and messy.
Otherwise the M&S New York style sandwich - wholegrain bread, pastrami, emmentaal, pickles and mustard-mayonnaise. I can make it myself of course, but they get the balance just right.
Making myself it would have to be (medium rare) beef and shredded lettuce with horseradish-mayonnaise. On granary bread.
raisin walnut bread from Dorothy Lane Market
chunky peanut butter
slices of Gala apple
grilled.
YUM
Due to my dietary restrictions, I eat a lot of sandwiches. But here's two of my favorites.
1) Crusty french roll buttered and toasted on the griddle.
Good lean smokey pastrami and provolone warmed on the griddle
Hellman's mayo
2)
Italian beef on crusty french roll with extra gravy. If you ever visit Chicago, you owe it to yourself to try one of these. I recommend
Portillos.
There's a place right around the corner here.
They do a grinder that one of the high school kids created.
Pastrami and roast beef with gravy and melted mozzarella.
Or else, I usually get a ham and swiss on rye (Unseeded!), light on the mustard and mayo.

Meat gravy or tomato gravy (sauce)?
On Man VS Food I saw a local delicacy from Springfield, IL, called the Horseshoe. Texas toast, topped with lots of meat of your choice (ground beef, ham, corned beef, bacon...), topped with crinkle cut french fries, melted cheese sauce, garnished with sliced scallions and diced tomatoes. Wish the sold them around here.
Then there was the sandwich from Rutgers campus, a Philly-type steak sandwich with mozzerella sticks
in the sandwich.
Or else, I usually get a ham and swiss on rye (Unseeded!), light on the mustard and mayo.
I hate the seeds, too! I can never find rye without them.
I have a sandwich theory.
Not a big deal, but I think it checks out.
A sandwich is 1.5 to 2 times better if it is prepared by someone else.
i find that If a sandwich is made by a friend or a loved one, or a loved one of a friend.... those are better than sandwiches prepared by strangers.
My Grandad thinks I make the best sandwiches ever.
So he might agree with the above theory.
But then he goes through phases with everything.
He started turning his nose up at Tesco sandwiches earlier this year and asking for them from Greggs (a bakery chain). Then I started making them for him while the 'rents were away because it's easier for me than schlepping into town (I'm not insured for Dad's car). Now he wants them all homemade instead of bought. This did not please Mum...
He's going to have egg today. Egg and salt on white bread with butter.
The only possible reason for my sandwich reputation is simply giving him what he wants.
With love.
I'm craving a French Dip, and I don't mean this guy:

Right on. There's a time to insist on "healthy" eating, and there's a time to simply allow a person to have what they crave.
After much thought, I have to go with the bacon double cheeseburger.:yum:
Meat gravy or tomato gravy (sauce)?
Oh, meat gravy.
Tomato sauce would ruin the flavor.
Sometimes, a whole grain bread with cucumber, sprouts, watercress, mayonnaise, maybe some cheese. Great for a hot day. Or plain white bread with mayo and a couple slices of tomato. Or cottage bacon with mayo on bread. Or braunschweiger on toast with red onion and lettuce and mayo. Or a cuban pork sandwich. Or a..
Where was I? Sorry, I went and had a sandwich.
Tomato with salt, sugar, pepper, and mayo.
When I was a kid. I made sandwichs with white bread, mayo, french dressing and sugar. Damn
One of my favorite snacks as a kid was a sandwich made with white bread, vanilla frosting, and a slab of ice cream. It makes my teeth hurt just thinking about it...
Day after Thanksgiving Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce on a french roll with thousand island dressing.
Whole grain bread (I like to make my own)
Mayo
Spicy mustard
Turkey or Ham
salami
sliced sharp chedder
sliced feta (not crumbled)
slices of tomato
alfalfa sprouts
slices of red onion
Amish country pickles
And I have to have hot peppers on teh side. Any kind of hot peppers...suprise me!
Fried bologna with fried green peppers and onions, mayo, and mustard on white bread.
it's horrible for you. and tastes like heaven.
But today was just turkey bologna on white, non-fried, with ketchup. It sustains for minimal calories, anyways.
Oh, sad...your problem was that bologna needs mustard. The plain old yellow kind. Ketchup doesn't even belong on hot dogs. It only belongs on fries or meatloaf. :)
I pitch this in the mix. muffuletta

Is that a beef curtain/tongue combination?
No, its what a fella sound like when tries to Talk with that combo !!!

i only agree with you if the sandwich has actual fixings on it like lettuce and onions. then, mayo and mustard all the way. but when it's just bread and bologna? only ketchup. i don't know why, that's just the way it is, and it's been that way since i was a kid and it also had to be applied in a smiley face.
:)
Bread and bologna with yellow mustard OR colby cheese OR processed crap cheese.
I like lettuce but not on anything. I hate most condiments. No one ever likes to order pizza with me. I'm the least adventurous eater ever. Plain and simple...way too much going on for a lot of these "sandwiches" if'n you ask me. Might as well just roll around in the produce aisle. :lol:
My favorite pizza - let's see how many gags and chokes I can get out of this: pepperoni and anchovy. but i like most pizzas, though i tend not to care for fancy ones that have chicken or barbecue other weird "premium" ingredients. plain pepperoni is great by me, too.
i will eat anything once, and most things twice just to be sure. I get a lot of funny/incredulous looks when I say "OH MY GOD THIS IS HORRIBLE" and follow it up by "YOU'VE GOT TO TRY THIS!" I just don't get not trying most things. I do have limits, but man, it's gotta be the stuff of nightmares or just blatantly not food for me to say no outright.
Otherwise I just had tuna salad. mayo, sweet relish, celery, and red onion. white bread. yum.
I like pepperoni and green olives. That is a bit of a weird combo, but I think it's the saltiness that I like. I do not like black olives. This isn't a racist thing. ;)
My mom made me try brussels sprouts when I was a kid and I hated the taste so much I barfed! I really tried, but ewwwwww.
I always wonder if I didn't get just little bit spoiled in my food choices, or if taste preferences are not always learned behavior. There are some things I like that others can't stand, but my family never had to worry about me eating all the shrimp or all the lobster. However, I know if one is hungry enough one can eat anything.
So, taste for food: nature or nurture? :)
Pepperoni and green olives is a totally understandable mix: if you like that, you may even have a chance at liking pepperoni and anchovy, which is also a terrifically salty pie. You do have to like anchovy, though. Which, if you haven't tried in some form, I have some simple recipes with them that are so, so good.
Taste is a combination of nature and nurture, like most things :) There are universally appealing flavors - people like sugary and fatty and salty things - but beyond that? Totally exposure, I'm certain. I know folks that eat stuff on a regular basis that makes my skin crawl. Can't begrudge them it, though, it's what they know and like. Cultural exposure.
So, taste for food: nature or nurture?
It can be both simultaneously: studies have shown that what your mother eats while pregnant with you will affect your food tastes later in life.

What then of siblings with completely different tastes?
My brother was a "problem eater". Even now he barely touches fruit or vegetables unless heavily disguised. Not a problem for my sister and I. And yet my bro is far more adventurous in life and in food than my sister (I think that's down to nature - she's a deeply conservative person).
Did you know that a zinc deficiency can lead to
alterations in the sensation of taste? Some people who have supplemented with zinc have found that vegetables taste completely different afterwards, usually for the better.
Give me grilled cheese (cheddar, not that American crap they try to pass as cheese) with bacon and tomato. Dipped in ketchup. Heaven on bread....
Or the Steven's from Green Street in Pasadena, CA. Chicken breast, sauteed msuhrooms, avocado, swiss cheese, grilled on sourdough smothered with sour cream. Maybe that's actually heaven on bread.....
wheat fields in lawrence, KS has some of the best sandwiches on the planet. their bread is no small contributor to that, as they're a bakery and make it all themselves. their olive bread is worth stabbing people over. i'm particularly fond of their cuban and their roast beef sandwiches. haven't been to that bit of the country in ages, but if anyone happens to be nearby, go there. you won't be sorry, guaranteed.
Homegrown maters with Hellman's mayo on tender toast.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Tastes like summer, baybeh.
