What is your favourite type of (homemade) sandwich?

[The Original An Gadaí]

Mine is, two thick cut slices of poppy loaf bread with,
lettuce,
tomato,
pickled gherkin,
cucumber
and
white cheddar cheese
with mayonnaise.

I'll never be able to rear my head in the weight loss thread ever again.
And here's my latest one.

[Exy]

I made some focaccia a couple weeks back and sliced it in half, and layered smoked turkey, salami, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, pickled turnips, shredded romano, and green onions and stuck it under the broiler until the cheese melted and it was pretty epic, I gotta say. I should have taken pictures.

Another good sandwich I made awhile back was Italian bread, toasted with pepper jack cheese, and then refried black beans, tomatoes, avocado, onions, and black olives. I had to wrap it in foil in order to eat it because it was a little messy but it tasted great.

[OtakuLoki]

Well, I try to make this only once a year, or so, but I loves 'em.

Grilled Fat Sammich:

Thick cut sourdough bread
Extra sharp cheddar cheese
Thin sliced tomato
Thin sliced avocado
Then grilled with butter til the cheese and the avocado both start to melt into each other

A favorite sammich. Not exactly a healthy one.

[Orual]

Mine is pretty simple compared to you guys.

Hearty bread (whole wheat or rye), lightly buttered on both sides

Muenster cheese, two slices

thinly-sliced honey ham, placed between the cheese, with a little bit of spicy brown mustard.

Grill to golden-brown perfection. Serve with a small pile of Milwaukee midget dills.

[Orual]

Dupe.

[What Exit?]

Real Italian Bread (sliced Round Loaf)
Genoa Salami
Sharp Provolone
a little ham
a little turkey
Prosciutto
Light mustard (Gulden's Spicy Brown)
Lettuce, full leaf Romaine.
Optionally a sliced garlic dill pickle or two.

Good quality 7-grain bread, smoked ham, lean turkey, sliced sharp cheddar, lettuce and (should I say this?) Miracle Whip.

[OneCentStamp]

(should I say this?) Miracle Whip.

Miracle Whip has its place. And that place is on a delicious sandwich.

As much of a pretentious junior foodie as I've come to think of myself in my 30s, I still love me some Miracle Whip on a sandwich from time to time.

Enjoy, I don't like Mayo or the like but it is because it tends not to like me.

Another completely awesome sandwich is a sliced turkey on good rye with homemade cranberry dressing. Add lettuce and some cuke slices.

[Cluricaun]

White bread
American cheese slices (2)
At least a quarter pound of honey ham, maybe even a half pound
Iceberg lettuce
Yellow mustard
Mayonnaise
Bacon

It's white trash as hell, but I'm white trash as hell myself so we get along really well.

[WhyNot]

Heh. I've got dueling favorites. The favorite favorite is probably cold meatloaf from the night before, with a few slices of red onion and either barbeque sauce or grainy mustard, but not both. Lettuce and tomato are welcome additions, but not required.

The other, more frequently enjoyed? Processed cheez fud slices on fluffy white bread with Miracle Whip-not-mayo. I'm not sure there's anything that really qualifies as "food" on there, but it's so quick and tasty!




...I just lost my Foodie card, didn't I?

[OneCentStamp]

I'm a total sandwich whore; there are easily ten different sandwiches I could list here, based on my mood and the available ingredients. But, if you locked me up all alone in the deli, the first thing I'd make would be:

- Sliced bread, chewy but not too crusty. Ciabatta would be great, but even a nice dense potato bread would be more than fine.
- Roast beef, rare enough that it's pink in the middle.
- Sharp Cheddar, in a 1:3 ratio to the meat. There are a lot of cheeses that would be great here, from Emmentaler to Gruyere to smoked Gouda, but if I'm making just one sandwich, make it Cheddar.
- Horseradish sauce, made from 1 part mayo, 1 part sour cream, and a good amount of ground horseradish.
- Lettuce, tomato, kosher dill pickle slices, and maybe a little white onion.

[Cluricaun]

I would eat OCS's sandwich and be glad of it. I'm a bit of a sandwich whore myself, I will elect a sandwich at a resturant in place of more traditional dinner fare more often than not, especially if they have a reuben or a club sandwich, however I never make either at home. I also have no problem with Subway, even though it's much hated on the internet. $5 for a footlong ham and turkey sandwich is tits as far as I'm concerned and I also hit up Jimmy John's on the regular as well. Beats Micky D's for me any day of the week.

I also really dig chicken salad sandwiches on toasted bread, but that's less of a sandwich and more of a way for me to shovel chicken salad into my mouth in a more dignfied manner than just using my fingers. But it has to be deli style chicken salad, none of that hippie shit with grapes and walnuts and raisins and other things that are really just cheap filler and distract from the symphony of chicken, celery, and mayo that's happening.

I will also eat cold spaghetti sandwiches, which is a clump of cold spaghetti and sauce smashed between two pieces of buttered bread and always washed down with a beer, because I like to keep my carb count in the stratosphere.

I kind of want a sandwich now.

I kind of want a sandwich now.

Yeah, me too.

*dubiously eyes the can of chili he brought for lunch*

[Cluricaun]

I don't eat lunch, it's too much of a hassle and it makes me tired, otherwise I'd be splitting forthwith and heading over to Augustino's Rock and Roll Deli and gorging myself on one of their masterpieces. I might swing by and get some to bring home for dinner though.

(And what is my lunch going to be? A Luna bar and some dried apricots. I must hate myself.)

Another favorite.

Begin with a good, real bagel. (Sorry Lender's just won't do.) Personally, I'm fond of using a garlic bagel for this, but you can use any savory bagel for it.

Slice in half, cover one side with Philly cream cheese, the other side gets leafy green, of some kind: non-iceberg lettuce, or baby spinach are my preference. A slice of sweet onion. I make 'em thick - about a quarter inch thick, which is why it has to be a sweet onion. Tomato slices are optional. Then smoked salmon slices, just enough to cover the cheese, not too thick. If anything, there should be more cheese than fish on the sammich, and more veggies than both cheese and fish combined.

I've also got to give some love to the good ol' grilled cheese sandwich. No matter if it's white bread and processed cheese squares or bakery fresh potato bread with gruyere and herb butter there is always a place for a grilled cheese sandwich.

In fact, grilled cheese is the one application where Wonder Bread and Kraft Singles are always welcome on my plate. I will dunk the hell out of you into some tomato soup or marinara or even OCS Secret Grilled Cheese Dipping Sauce(TM)*, you delicious white trash kiddie sandwich, you.









* Equal parts BBQ sauce and mustard. Stir with finger.

[Cluricaun]

That's the same thing as Uncle Cluricaun's Down Home Top Secret Corndog Dippin Sauce oddly enough. Wonder Bread and Kraft (or even, god help me, store brand non dairy "cheeze") slices get dipped into French/Catalina salad dressing.

Another favorite.

In passing I must mention that I would bite the hayl out of this sandwich, OtakuLoki. I love me some lox.


ETA: apparently I hit 4000 posts sometime today. Sweet.

[Taumpy]

Mine's pretty basic:

-rye bread
-deli sliced turkey
-swiss or provolone
-spicy mustard

[Cluricaun]

I made this one yesterday morning (I eat sandwiches for breakfast all the time)

Egg bun
smoked turkey
1000 Island dressing
Swiss cheese
Giant glop of cole slaw

I put it all together and microwaved it for 30 seconds. It was awesome.

Ryan, if you keep eating two sandwiches for breakfast every morning, you're gonna get fat.

Sorry, WhyNot, but that was me after reading your sandwich.

I can't talk though. I almost didn't post mine because it sounds really gross. It tastes yummy though. Really. I used to eat this when I ate tuna and mayonnaise, which I don't eat anymore.

2 slices of oatnut bread
layer of tuna salad with mayonnaise, salt and pepper
bean sprouts
layer of silken tofu


I served this to someone who loved it. When she asked what was in it, I told her. She was so upset at me because she said she hated tofu. But she loved it while she was eating it and didn't even notice the tofu. I didn't mush up the tofu. It was layered and clearly visible. So eh.

(I had asked her about allergies previously and she didn't have any.)

[Taumpy]

I seriously don't have the ability to understand people that don't like tofu, except for reasons of not liking the texture. I could see if they were eating it by itself, but who does that? By taste there's no reason not to like it as it tastes like whatever it's cooked in.
