It's almost lunchtime. Let's make our favorite sandwich. Mine is a tuna fish on whole wheat. Tomato,

lettuce, Miracle Whip, and a pickle slice. What about you?

Today, however, I’m having deli roast beef with pepper jack cheese, horseradish, lettuce, tomato, onion & a pickle spear. On multigrain bread.

It had garlic aoli and melted mozzarella on it, I forget what else... it was soooooo good. They don't have it anymore.

made with Best Foods mayo, celery, sweet relish, green onion on Nuts & Seeds bread.

Tomorrow may be Swiss cheese, mayo & mustard, romaine lettuce on N&S bread.

Then there's roast beef & swiss, Reubens, waiting in the wings.

Too many favorites.

So… any sandwich.

Rueben comes to mind first.



Edit: I love creamy peanut butter on fresh Italian bread.

what Costa Rica's national cuisine is?

Most upscale restaurants were Italian?

Consisting of fried plantain, rice, black beans, pico dillo, salad and some protein (usually fish chicken or pork).

The second national food is, indeed, pizza.

The food is considered “bland” and a standard joke goes as follows:

You never hear anyone in New York say,
“Hey, let’s go out for some CostaRican!”

with or without lettuce.

second: chicken salad (I make mine waldorf style with apples and walnuts)

third: peanut butter and banana.

All of these are Gifts of the Gods

I would worship at the feet of the persons who came up with the idea of bacon/tomato and peanut butter/banana

On sourdough white toast and Hellman’s Mayo.
When it’s not tomato season I like the Pennsylvania Dutch specialty, fried Lebanon baloney on toast or a roll.

light-fat mayo (Hellmann's) and garlic pickles.

Nothing terribly inspiring but tasty.

PB & jam is always easy and good. Crunchy or smooth PB, either one works. I made some cherry jam last week that works well with both. With a tall glass of very cold 2% milk.

I also like deli sliced turkey on rye/pumpernickel bread with lettuce, tomato, very thinly sliced onion, and some potato chips for crunch. Pickles on the side.

Anybody else getting hungry on this thread?
My stomach just growled at me!

Grilled in butter with a thick slice of tomato inside and dill pickles on the side. In cold weather, add a bowl of tomato soup. Oh my that's good!
