What is your favorite sandwich right now?

[Pretzel_Warrior]

I just made a terrific Reuben sandwich. Pumpernickel rye, corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut...grilled on a skillet with butter. Yumm

[olddots]

1. ice cream sandwich

[dballance]

2. Reuben - Love the sauerkraut and beef and cheese. /nt

[Kablooie]

3. NPR just voted a simple sandwich as the best taste of summer recipe.

Olesen says this sandwich tastes best when the ingredients are impeccably fresh, thinly sliced and added in the order listed. She suggests serving it with blue corn chips.

Makes one sandwich

4-6 thin slices white sharp cheddar cheese
Tomato, thinly sliced
Cucumber, thinly sliced
Vidalia or red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
2 slices whole grain bread

Layer the ingredients in the order given; eat with the cheese layer on top.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

5. Interesting! Maybe I can try that one soon

[Bertha Venation]

20. Ew. You stopped me at peanut butter.

I'd eat this without the PB and be perfectly happy.

[GoCubsGo]

61. Same here.

I would even be happy if you left off the cheese, too. Nothing like a tomato sammich, using fresh, home-grown tomatoes.

[mucifer]

4. avacado tomatoe basil on whole wheat.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

7. I love fresh basil. We like to grow it and have it available alfresco

[Chan790]

6. Chickpea "tuna" on rye.

It's vegan yummy.

[Riftaxe]

9. A good Veggie sandwich

if you can find the right sweet hot mustard, is tomatoes, bean sprouts, onions and if you are allowed a bit of melted cheese.

[GoCubsGo]

62. That's one of my favorites, too.

Especially if it's on some hearty whole-grain bread.

[Riftaxe]

8. Rye bread, roast beef

with a liberal helping of blue cheese and horse radish, topped off with a slice of red onion.

Can only be improved by a slice of Swiss and toasted, but that part is optional.

It is however recommended not to breath on anyone in the near future.

[nomorenomore08]

10. Monte cristo... Like a cross between French toast and a grilled ham-n-cheese... *drool*

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Cristo_sandwich

[Pretzel_Warrior]

70. they actually used to serve those every so often in my middle school

way back in the early 80's. Good stuff. Always looked forward to those days. But they were evened out by the days when the cafeteria had bierocks (German cabbage pies). YUCK!

[HeiressofBickworth]

11. Bacon, lettuce, tomato

on toasted oat bread with fat-free mayo. I figure the veggies and ff-mayo cancel out the bacon fat.

[a kennedy]

15. Ditto to BLT.....yummmmmm

but I DO use the real deal, Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise. OMGawd, the best.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

24. Wow. I'm in the mood for BLT now!

[In_The_Wind]

31. +1

[AngryAmish]

72. Finally getting real tomatoes

this is the only time of year I eat BLTs.

[Populist_Prole]

12. Sardines with a big slice of onion

Tastes better than it sounds. It's one of my comfort foods.

[Dash87]

28. Ooooo I love sardines

I like them in oil and none of the others (mustard, cream, etc. yuck!)

[Agschmid]

13. Lobster roll!

Light mayo... Greens... Brioche bun.

Total sandwich win.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

37. mmmmmm....lobster.

[SecularMotion]

14. Cuban sandwich

The deli at the local supermarket makes it with pork, ham, genoa salami, swiss cheese, dill pickles, & brown mustard on a knot roll.

[a kennedy]

16. OMGosh, I had my first Cuban in the "Little Cuba" section of Miami.....

and OMGawd...... Don't know what was in it, but it was heaven, and our Cuban son-in-law said this was his favorite place for the original Cuban sandwich. Will have to get the name of the place. Yummmmmmmmm.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

39. yeahHH!! I have fond memories of these because of Miami

I took my mom, wife, and daughter to Miami in 2006 and we stayed in a hotel in Miami Beach (Art Deco district). Anyway, we drove around the area and ended up over in Key Biscayne. While there, we stopped in a Cuban grocery/deli/restaurant and had the most wonderful Cuban sandwiches ever.

[hobbit709]

17. Crusti mini baguette, real salami, gorgonzola.

[femmocrat]

18. My favorite is chicken salad on a croissant.

However, I don't have any of those ingredients, so whatever is in the fridge. I'm kinda tired of sandwiches right now.

[Bertha Venation]

19. tomato with mayo

Soon 'twill be BLTs, as soon as I can rationalize the need for bacon.

[fizzgig]

32. needing bacon is the only rationalization you need

everyone needs bacon

[Staph]

55. This time of year

I love a good tomato sandwich, with mayo or Miracle Whip, a little salt and a lot of black pepper. But in my family, we usually add a slice of onion as well.

[Bertha Venation]

58. That's how Mrs. V. likes it.

I'm not a fan of raw onion. Now, it could be a very thin slice of vidalia onion; that would be good, I think.

[surrealAmerican]

21. banh mi ...

... any kind that doesn't involve liver.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

40. yeah, I just moved from Portland to Spokane. I used to love getting Bahn mi at food cart near

Portland State University, and there is a restaurant in Beaverton that has very inexpensive bahn mi of all varieties. I love the ones with sweet and tangy notes along with spicey peppers.

[azurnoir]

54. +1 and I'm lucky we've got an Asian grocery not far from our house

that has a build your own bahn mi bar in it's deli section, sort of an Asian version of Subway only better, way better and cheaper too

[tavernier]

22. Hard salami, tomato, mayo on rye

Simple and delicious.

[Bunnahabhain]

23. Reuben for sure

and the best one I ever had used braised short ribs for the meat. Was

[Pretzel_Warrior]

41. wow. sounds terrific

[LWolf]

25. Right this moment? Your Reuben.

A good Reuben is one of my top 2 or 3 sandwiches of all time anyway, and you remembered to use good pumpernickle rye, and not that faux rye served in many restaurants.

Another favorite, for another time: An avocado sandwich. Rich whole-grain bread, thick with avocado, add sliced red onion, tomato, and butter lettuce. A little salt and pepper. If you need a dressing, use a plain yogurt...I can't tolerate mayonnaise, ever.

Another: The BT. Leave off the L. Again, a rich, whole-grain bread, some yogurt dressing, soft bacon, and lots of slices of fresh tomato.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

35. yum....I want that. I will make an avocado, cheese, tomato bacon sandwich and see how it goes.

maybe something sour with it.

[OriginalGeek]

26. I have 3 favorites right now

Rueben, Italian sub and the Spanglish sandwich (the one Adam Sandler makes in the movie Spanglish - you may not like anything else he's ever done but he pantomimed being a chef so well that I had to go make that sandwich for myself and it is worth every hoop through which you have to jump to make it) (I like to make mine with the 2 middle slices from a round sourdough loaf so it's bigger)(I'd be willing to try a version substituting corned beef hash for the bacon and with rye bread)

World's Greatest Sandwich
http://www.thekitchn.com/spanglish-sandw-5321

3-4 slices of bacon
2 slices of Monterey Jack cheese
2 slices of toasted rustic country loaf (pain de campagne)
1 tbsp of mayo
4 tomato slices
2 leaves of butter lettuce (yes, it’s called butter lettuce)
1 teaspoon butter
1 egg

Preparation:

1. Cook the bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels
2. Place slices of cheese on one side of toasted bread. Place in toaster oven or under broiler to melt.
3. Spread mayo on other slice of bread top with bacon, sliced tomato, and lettuce
4. On non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Fry egg, turning over briefly when the bottom is set (keep yolk runny)
5. Slide finished egg on top of lettuce, top with other slice of bread (cheese-side down genius)
6. Place sandwich on plate and slice in half, letting yolk run down sandwich

[Pretzel_Warrior]

36. I hated that movie...but this sandwich sounds decadent and tasty.

Thanks for the recipe and video link!

[OriginalGeek]

57. lol I barely remember the rest of the movie

but I love that sandwich.

[Dash87]

27. Peanut butter + Nutella

[Raffi Ella]

29. Grilled Cheese.

It's like crack biting into that buttery crispy bread and gooey cheese. As soon as I finish it I want another.

[fizzgig]

33. do you toast the bread before grilling it?

my husband taught me that trick and it vastly improved my grilled cheese eating experience

[Raffi Ella]

38. I toast it lightly and then finish the browning in the pan.

I hadn't made one in so long, I don't know what made me make it. SO fattening and bad for me and I usually end up eating two sometimes three at a time. I'd actually forgotten how to make them but after the first few times I remembered the toasting bit. Yeah, it definitely makes a difference.

[magical thyme]

30. roated red pepper hummus, avocado slices,

tomato slices, bits of onion, mixed mild and spicy microgreens from my garden, a dollop of one kind of dressing or another, wrapped up in a Cesar tomato wrap.

Also chicken-caesar with micro-greens, a little tomato and onion, and small chunks of chicken that had been marinated in rich italian salad dressing before roasting, and a little caesar salad dressing, stuffed into a whole wheat/oat/flax pita.

[raptor_rider]

34. Yum!!!!!

That's my favorite of all time!!! Good Ruben, not the 1000 Island dressing, however with mayo. Good stuff!!!

[AsahinaKimi]

42. Turkey Sub!

chomp!!

[Pretzel_Warrior]

44. nom! nom! nom!

[AsahinaKimi]

46. yup!

[NightWatcher]

43. A grilled ham n cheese, an Italian sub, and a muffaletta

I could eat any of those and be happy.

Would also get by with an oyster po-boy, Cuban sandwich, a gyro, a schwarma, a good hotdog....

Damn I'm hungry.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

45. holy crap. Gyro...I used to get those about once a week or so backin Portland. HUNGRY!!

I love gyro and souvlaki. In fact, I could go for a whole plate of Mediterranean food including tabouli and hummus with freshly warmed pita.

[politicat]

47. Falafel on pita with fatoush, tzatziki, greens.

Cool and warm, crunchy and chewy, tangy and salty, and goes together in 4 minutes (given prepped fatoush and reheatable falafel or Costco's spinach-chickpea patties.)

[1-Old-Man]

48. Leftover grilled or blackened Tuna then made up for a tuna sammich.

A gift from the gods on a toasted Kaiser Roll.

[olddots]

49. Skippy & Welches grape jelly on Wonder bread

1/2 pint carton of milk then recess .........

[Pretzel_Warrior]

52. so you're saying you have a sweet tooth.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018445535#post1

[mainer]

50. Roast chicken, avocado, and bacon with lettuce and mayo

The chicken must be fresh-roasted, though, and not processed.

[Broken_Hero]

51. Hmm,

Roast beef, pastrami, two slices of pepperjack cheese, onions, tomato, olives, lettuce, a hint of light mayo, a hint of honey mustard, sunflower seeds on rye bread. Made some of these badboys this past weekend, and it was....excellent.

[sinkingfeeling]

53. Fresh, garden tomato and onion on whole wheat.

[Teamster Jeff]

56. Hot pastrami on rye w\ Swiss cheese and mustard

Also Liver sausage and red onion on black bread

[struggle4progress]

59. I like cream cheese and avocado on rye with sprouts and cucumber

[GoCubsGo]

60. Provalone, tomato and pesto panini.

Or, just as a regula grilled cheese sanmmich

[Pretzel_Warrior]

64. i like. pesto when made right is amazing

[LadyHawkAZ]

63. Grilled cheddar, jack and american on sourdough

[Xyzse]

65. Club Supreme from Jersey Mike's

It has:
Roast Beef

Swiss Cheese
Bacon
Mayo

Mike's Way topping:
Onions
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Olive Oil Blend
Red wine vinegar

Holy heck it was good. First time I tried it, it almost brought tears to my eyes.

[newcriminal]

66. We call it the Thanksgiving sandwich

butter one side of two pieces of bread (we prefer potato bread)
place butter side down on griddle, place swiss cheese then turkey on opposite side
turn over when nicely toasted, brown the turkey side
take off griddle spread mayo(we prefer Hellmans) on both sides add stuffing to one side and cranberry sauce to the other
combine both sides


huge, filling,yummy sandwich

[Pretzel_Warrior]

71. holy crap that sounds good. I will bear in mind for Thanksgiving weekend.

[kwassa]

Have not had it in a while.

[1awake]

69. Any sandwich... I'm not allowed eating bread. :( n/t

[Pretzel_Warrior]

73. :( no way around it, eh?

How about wraps?

Or you could make a BBQ pulled pork sandwich with 2 pork chops as the bread.
