🍅 Sandwich 🍅

I'm gorging on fresh tomatoes, enjoying them till their season is over. But I think the best way to use them is the simplest, the tomato sandwich. That was my lunch, thick slices of tomato between lightly toasted bread and a bit of Mayo. It's a long, sad season with just grocery store tomatoes. Do you like a tomato sandwich ?

My sister supplied me with tomatoes all summer. I use them in salad and use them on a lunch meat sandwich with Miracle Whip and Gulden's mustard. I don't eat just by itself.

@KingstonsMom , Who doesn't like a BLT ? However, for me, if the tomato is good and juicy, it is enough. 😋

When I was young, growing up surrounded by the Blue Ridge parkway which I could see, I would go out to the garden and eat tomatoes like apples!

I had so many acid sores in my mouth which were treated with buttermilk!

I've never eaten tomato sandwiches, but this time of year I about founder on fresh garden tomatoes. My favorite way is to add slices to a ham and cheese sandwich. I prefer wheat bread, mayo, ham, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato slices and fresh hot pepper slices. For breakfast I sometimes switch out a scrambled egg for the ham and toast the bread. My entire life I have eaten whatever tomato leftovers and usually grab a cherry tomato every time I walk by the tray. My garden tomatoes were/are pitiful this summer, but I've picked enough to can some, share and eat my fill . There's nothing better than homegrown ripe tomatoes!

I do. Never have eaten them with mayo tho', and I know that's a traditional favorite for many. That's the way my bf loves them.

I'm more of a mustard girl in general...

so some of my fav ways to do a "tomato sandwich" is tomato/cuke/onion/mustard on toast...sometimes a slice of cheese. With mayo on tomato, I love a BLT...made several of those this summer.

I too am trying to gorge on all the local farm stands' fresh produce while it's still here (in CT through end of Oct)...because it IS a lonnnnng sadddd grocery store fruit/veggie season, here in the Northeast, after this. No comparison!

I go into mourning when the 🍉 goes away! 😂

Side note...my cousin's daughter plants a garden each year...she has some of the tastiest veggies. It has been her tomatoes that were several cuts above, even the local farm stands this summer. I don't know what variety she planted but they were red, sweet, juicy and had more flavor than any I tasted this summer!

Enjoy your sandwiches while you can! 🍅😋

@decaf

And I'll one-up-ya' with a club sandwich, just add another layer to the BLT, with sliced turkey, ham and cheese of your choice! YUM!

@QVCkitty1 Love the tomato sandwich, but it has to have lots of freshly cracked pepper on it.

@KingstonsMom Great idea. I can't remember the last time I had a club sandwich. Those are so big and delish, we can split one!

@QVCkitty1 Love it, with or without bacon and lettuce! But I am not really finding a lot of really tomato-ey, good tomatoes in the stores.

Love a tomato sandwich on cheap toasted white bread with mayo, salt & pepper BUT tomatoes make me flush now so have to limit myself to just 1, then hide when my face is bright red....worth it!

Re: 🍅 Sandwich 🍅

One of my favorite sandwiches....but it must be with local garden grown ripe tomatoes.

My father grew wonderful tomatoes and the toast-mayo-and-thick-fresh-tomato-slice sandwich was one I looked forward to every year!

I would, however never turn down the addition of bacon later on. NO lettuce!

I am a fan of tomato sandwiches on any kind of bread, especially a bagel. I put a little mayo on it and nothing else. Delicious!

I love tomatoes and love tomato sandwiches. A beautiful thick slice on gluten free bread, smothered with Mayo and salt....Mmmmm

I eat a lot of tomato salads too. Chunks of tomato and onion with fresh basil, salt and a little olive oil. When you're done eating the salad, the remaining juice in the bottom of the bowl makes a great bread dip.

I like just tomato and Italian bread or rolls or with fresh mozarella cheese and Italian seasoning.

😋 I'm enjoying tomato sandwiches daily.

Today I used the Aldi 12Grain bread, untoasted. I favor Miracle Whip instead of mayo, as I grew up with that taste.

My mother loved tomato sandwiches. That's where I got it. The other kids in my neighbourhood didn't get those at home.

My tomatoes this year are incredible. I'll be freezing fresh tomato chunks for making tomato soup this winter.
