When I’m out and about I like to grab a sammich from Safeway… I forget the name but it’s basically turkey, cranberry sauce, havarti cheese and some fixin’s on a dutch crunch roll.
If I want a whole 12 inches of sammich, I’ll go for a Subway meatball sandwich. I’ve been eating those since I was a wee lad, and I’ll keep eating them until I croak.
But my fave sammich of all times is the “Mile High Meatloaf” from Mel’s diner:
Two side-by-side slices of egg bread
One slice meatloaf
Mashed potatoes
One more slice meatloaf
More mashed potatoes
Three huge onion rings
Topped with brown gravy
I was just about to add Panera. I love the sandwiches there! My fav is the Turkey Artichoke: Smoked turkey, spinach artichoke spread, Asiago-Parmesan cheese, tomatoes & caramelized onions, grilled hot on Basil Pesto Focaccia.
Like Rob Northcott said, you guys are way too complicated with your butties. The whole premise of a Sandwich is that it is a quick snack that allows you to carry on doing whatever and not interrupt it with a meal - e.g. gambling, as the Earl of Sandwich is reputed to have done. The principle of “less is more” should apply. Anything more than a few fillings that complement each other is just going to overload your tastebuds so you don’t appreciate what you are eating to the fullest - one main filling + (optionally) a couple of complementary bits.
Quality of bread is of paramount importance - use crap bread and you have a crap sandwich.
My very most favouritest: Bread:
Homebaked focaccia made with good quality extra virgin olive oil and sundried olives or tomatoes. Spread:
NONE !!! Main Filling:
Lashings of humous - I also like to include some fresh sprouted chick peas Supplementary Fillings:
Thinly sliced tomato
Chunkily sliced avocado
Copious alfalfa sprouts OR lambs lettuce OR for that extra bite, rocket or watercress
Egg-free mayonaise, but not enough to smother any of the other flavours
This sandwich is not only delicious, but highly nutritious, with a good balance of carbohydrates, proteins, non-saturated fats and oils, vitamins, minerals etc.
My second most favouritest
Crusty whole grain bread, thickly cut
Sunflower marg
Crunchy peanut butter - ABSOLUTELY NOT SWEETENED
A Reuben is a grilled sammich of corned beef and swiss, sauer kraut and Thousand Island dressing on rye.
Speaking of sauer kraut, I learned about West Virginia hot dogs when I lived there in junior high school. WV dogs are the best! The backwoods boys top a dog with chili, sauer kraut, and cole slaw.
This kinda sounds like it’s not as “quick” as you’re making it out to be. Maybe fast, but I thik it would definitely interrupt whatever other importance you have going on.
No meat! Are you a vegan?
