My Favorite Sandwich: White Crusty Bread + Bacon

[wolram]

Mine is, white crusty bread spread with salted butter, and layered with crispy bacon, strong cheese, lettuce and salad cream.

 

[Evo]

What is salad cream?

 

[Danger]

I like lots of kinds, although I don't eat them very often. I guess that my favourite is ham. I like to saw about a 1cm-thick slab off of a real ham (not that sandwich ham crap), and throw on some seasoning salt.
I do have the perfect peanut-butter sandwich, though. It's an emergency thing, since I don't really consider anything without meat to be food. Buttered bread (all of my sandwiches are buttered), with as much smooth peanut butter as I can fit on it. Then pile on chili powder, just enough that I can't see the peanut butter under it. Then salt until I can't see the chili powder. Perfection!

Heinz salad cream, it comes in a bottle is a yellowish semi liquid.

I hate peanut butter and very salty food.

Ah, I just looked it up, it's a British thing. Thin yellow mayonaise.

 

[wolram]

It is the bees knees of sauces along with daddies brown sauce.

 

[Andre]

whole meat bread, first a layer of tuna salad (w/mayonaise, a bit mustard, green onions and pepperonici), topped with cherry tomatoes, a few onion rings and green olives. No sauce, don't want to kill the flavors.

 

[Evo]

Oh my, I just looked up a description of daddies brown sauce and the description was "brown sauce".

I guess it would go well on Andre's "whole meat bread".

Awww, you poor American people do not have daddies brown sauce? how cruel.

What are you on about? Don't like butter?

That sounds yummy. It reminds me of a sandwich I had the other day, thinly sliced roast beef on a melt in your mouth ciabatta bread with black olives, provolone, onions, tomatoes and a garlicy sauce. Not quite worth the $6 I paid for it (it was a tiny sandwich), but tasty.

 

[Danger]

Oh, and if they count as sandwiches... Philly cheese steaks. Of course, ours are made with Alberta beef, so they're infinitely superior to the original.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

I don't know if it qualifies as a sandwich, but I like a poppyseed bagel with cream cheese and lox.

If not, then an Italian hoagie, or cheesesteak. Don't be fooled by 'Philadelphia style' anything. Come to Philadelphia and get the actual sandwich. The sandwich rolls they use elsewhere are a travesty.

Edit: Sorry Danger if you are not from Philly, then you are being cheated. It so, then the worst of it is, you probably won't like the real thing because you are used to inferior bread.

 

[wolram]

This is the king of sarnies ,

Granary bread, salted butter, tubo's chili relish, 1/8 inch thick pot roast slice of beef, slices of poached pear and celery.

 

[Danger]

you probably won't like the real thing because you are used to inferior bread.

I won't argue the point; you're probably right. Well, you're not right about me not liking it, but you are about it being different. Up here, they're made with bread that is similar to very large hot-dog buns. Being a strict carnivor, however, makes that irrelevant to me. It's all about the beef. (And onions, and cheese, and au jous, and tons of salt.)
Really, we don't advertise anything as a Philly cheese steak. What we have is essentially a beef-dip with cheese and onions. Love 'em, though.

 

[Evo]

The best sandwich ever is my melted sardine sandwich.

Slices of homemade bread topped with canned sardines in mustard sauce, add a layer of swiss cheese and run under the broiler until the cheese is all melted and bubbly. OMG, this is the best thing I've ever created IMO.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

At least they don't even try. Let me know when you're in the area. We'll eat like poor kings and boo Santa Clause if we see him.

Gawd, my belly just done a back flip, SARDINES with chees and mustard? and Swiss cheese that that plastic toy stuff.

You 'eeked' me for a perfect peanut butter sandwich, and then come up with a travesty like this? That concoction of yours would gag a maggot.

Jimmy, I am unfortunately no longer allowed in your country. Maybe you could mail me one?

I LOVE CANNED SARDINES WITH MUSTARD.

They need a strong cheese like swiss.

Don't knock it until you've tried it. My first husband loved these so much, he started making them all of the time. And he didn't like canned sardines. Oh, and a drizzle of home made ranch dressing is devine.

Well bless your tummy, i did have sardines in a sarnie one time, but they were fried crispy,
floured and deep fried i think.
Thinking about it they would go well with my special chips (french fries) i boil them first then fry them, maybe with balsamic vinegar and sea salt.

 

[Redbelly98]

I LOVE CANNED SARDINES WITH MUSTARD.

Blecch I'd just as soon have bologna on raisin bread.

But truly, in recent years my favorite has been the pepperoni sub, with the usual assortment of veggies. At times when I'm ill and don't feel like eating anything else, I can still have one of those and not go hungry.

 

[Danger]

Blecch I'd just as soon have bologna on raisin bread.

I'd far rather have that. In fact, I'd rather have pepperoni and marmalade on sourdough than that sardine ****.

home made multigrain bread with a light spread of cream cheese, kielbassa (thick), swiss cheese, sliced apples, lettuce, red pepper, tomato and my own salad dressing (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, basil, lime juice, brown sugar and just a touch of cayenne)

Congatulations! You've just joined Evo in my 'people that I will decline a supper invitation from' club.

 

[R.Harmon]

Nothing beats a good ploughmans..except maybe a BLT made with good bacon and a touch of mayo.

You call it a dinner party; I'd call it a survival test.

we'll see whos still surviving in 20 years after all that beef

YEAH! You tell him!

[Danger]

We would have to establish initial parameters for that. You come across as being pretty young, which would make your long-term survival more likely than mine. I've been eating nothing but meat for most of my life. In 20 years I'll be 72, if my pulmonary emphysemia doesn't do me in first. How about you?

 

[Danger]

Tell me again why I love you...

Oh, never mind. I remember. It's the tits...

Add pepperoncinis and jalapeños and that would be a perfect sandwich.

I like tuna salad, curried egg salad, and sardine or mackerel sandwiches. I ate those as a kid.

My mom made a pickled tomato and cumcumber salad sandwhich with spinach or lettue that was good during the summer, and one do a variation with pickled beets.

Reubens with corn beef or pastrami, sauerkraut and Russian or ranch dressing are good. I like pastrami, swiss/provolone on rye with fixins - lettuce, tomato and black olives.

Philly steak sandwiches are good.

A local shop does a great sausage with roasted peppers and onion, which I like.

And then there is good ol' bbq sandwich.


A basic Vegemite sandwich with swiss or provolone - and toasted does nicely in pinch.

Well, I'm older than dirt, but I'll probably outlive everyone here. I'll just look funny from all of the broken bones.

Danger, don't remind me that you're not well.

[hypatia]

My very favorite is thinly shaved roast beef, raw sweet onions, jalapenos with a strong mustard on a really crusty bread.

home made multigrain bread with a light spread of cream cheese, kielbassa (thick), swiss cheese, sliced apples, lettuce, red pepper, tomato and my own salad dressing (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, basil, lime juice, brown sugar and just a touch of cayenne)

Sounds good. Is there a recipe (proportions for the dressing or does one used standard proportions for a oil and vinegar dressing with appropriate pinches and smidgeons (or smidgins) to taste?


Evo's sardine, mustard and cheese sandwich sounds interesting. I've never been keen on mustard and sardines. I thought that a bit odd, until I walked into a real smorgasbord in Sweden, and they had more than two dozen ways to prepare fish, and mustard was one of the selections. So as fish goes, nothing surprises me anymore.

 

[Evo]

Canned sardines in the US usually come three ways, plain, in tomato sauce, and mustard. My favorite is mustard sauce, it's very mild and doesn't taste like mustard at all, it's just a bit acidic and seems to get rid of the fishy taste, tomato is my second favorite, but let's more of the fishy taste through.

 

[Danger]

Danger, don't remind me that you're not well.

Don't worry about it, Sweetie. I'll never leave while you're around, regardless of the situation.

Italian hoagie from Philly. No where else. Hoagie is the official sandwich of the city, NOT the cheesesteak.


Like jimmy said, you can't get bread anywhere else like the bread that they make in philly, probably because of the Schuylkill punch.

Best italialn hoagie is from my neighborhood shop Lenny's. Italian hoagie consits of a homemade roll that is covered in toasted seasame seeds. Fresh romaine lettuce (not that shredded iceberg lettuce crap). Sharp provolone. Sopressatta, coppa, Proscuitto, Genoa Salami, Mortadella, and freshly cut up tomatoes. Long hots, oil, and oregano to top it off.

in 20 years Ill be 41. I am sorry to hear you have pulmonary emphysemia. Way to make me feel bad, this is not easily done. I hope I don't suffer any thing like that at 41. I am an extremely healthy person but its because I am obsessive about it. I plan my meals, eat all whole grains and raw veggies. I take my multivitamins and avoid red meat. In the summer I am at the farm all day and I have been known to forget to eat and pass out on horseback. I am also addicted to chocolate and candy. Sugar, cheese and red wine will be my downfall. That and the fact that during the school year I sit in a desk studying all day and all night and the only breaks I have I spend on pf.

I don't really have a recipe, I love to cook and make up all sorts of my own little recipes. I do use that sauce in its various forms for all sorts of things. I've even been known to stir fry my salmon in it. I would suggest playing around until you get it just right for you

I love cheese steaks. I like them with bellpeppers, mushrooms, and pizza sauce! Mmmmmmm...

And Danger, by an interesting coincidence my lady friend just told me about a peanut butter maker you may like...

They have Curry Peanut Butter!

Certainly no intention to make you feel bad. It's my own fault, for smoking almost 2 packs a day since I was 15. I'm down to about a pack a week if I'm not drinking (), but more realistically double that.
I'm more concerned about you, though. Your info suggests that you might be diabetic. Have you had a glucose tolerance test?

edit: Sorry, Stats... I didn't see your post until after I logged this one in. Cool link. Gotta tell you, though... I hate curry. The heat is no problem, but the taste is just disgusting. I appreciate the link, however, since it might help me to arm against my enemies...

This sounds like a 24 hr sandwich, 23hr 55mins to find out what the heck all that stuff is and 5 mins to make it.

 

[CaptainQuasar]

There's this fancy-schmancy deli near where I used to work that would make the most amazing sandwich: on a fairly dense loaf about halfway between Italian bread and a baguette - but with sesame seeds - they would put cold breaded eggplant cutlets, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and pickled red peppers (bell peppers, not hot ones).

It was seriously dangerous, I had to stay away from the place. They'd have a special where they'd make a super-large sandwich out of an entire loaf of the bread. I'd pick one up on the way home from work figuring - "Sweet deal! I've got dinner tonight and lunch for two days!" - but the whole thing would be gone before 2am or 3am.
