Does Anyone Else Love Tomato Sandwiches?

Moonlady — Mon, 07 Jul 2014 17:37:20 GMT

DH and I encountered someone selling field tomatoes at a roadside stand over the weekend. They looked delicious (and were), though we usually get them later in the season.

I use Italian or French bread (wider than baguettes), sprinkle with olive oil, then just a bit of salt and pepper. The most important part, of course, is flattening the bread lol. DH, on the other hand, uses mayo on his.

How about yours?

Thick sliced home grown and soft white bread. That's all! No seasoning needed. Love them.

Home grown tomatoes sliced, lightly salted on white toast with Best Foods Mayo. Yum, Yum, Yum.

If they're fresh off one of the NJ farms, I eat them like an apple.

Centuries ago when my great aunt had a garden, we used to pick the tomatoes off the vines as soon as they turned red, wipe off the dirt, and sit right there in the garden and eat them.

Yum!! Love tomato sandwiches.

When we were kids and visited my uncle in VA in the summer, he had a big garden with lots of tomatoes. We would eat 2-3 sandwiches a day - white bread, tomatoes (still warm from the garden), Miracle Whip, salt/pepper.

LOL...Mom had to make a lot of extra trips to the store for bread.

Warm off the vine tomatoes thick sliced, soft white bread, mayo, salt and pepper. Best if eaten over the sink to catch drips.

I had one yesterday -- yum! I am growing purple tomatoes this year -- can't wait for those. Last week I bought some heirloom tomatoes at the Farmer's Market -- delicious!

With crisp bacon! Although I must admit that I hadn't thought of just tomatoes. Maybe with plenty of Miracle Whip!

Since there have been a number of different threads on this subject already this season, may as well add my 2-cents here too......

Love, love, love a tomato sandwich on white bread with Miracle Whip.....MW adds a little tangy taste and it just sort of completes the delicious taste of the sandwich.

Sometimes I put really crisp bacon on my tomato sandwiches..... And sometimes I toast the bread first, then put a super sized slice of tomato on it and then a slice of American cheese or Kraft's sharp cheddar cheese, and put it in the toaster oven to melt the cheese......

Jersey tomatoes, fresh basil on artisan bread or roll

Does Anyone Else Love Tomato Sandwiches?

Always have. Sometimes just plain on whole wheat bread and some times with a condiment added. Many of my friends asked me how I could stick with being a vegetarian and I asked them how much they like a plain hamburger with nothing else on it. Most said they just had to have a tomato on it. They made my point.

Nothing like home grown.

I love thick slices of heirloom tomato sandwiches with a little mayo and a little salt & pepper.

Never thought of using olive oil, that sounds even better

Not a fan of tomatoes unless they are from NJ.

Love tomato sandwiches, as long as they're accompanied by bacon, lettuce and mayo! I'm looking forward to a friend harvesting his garden when the tomatoes come in. Yum-O!!!!!

Love thick slices of tomato with some sea salt on bread with a thick slab of cheese on top and then into the broiler.

I also fry tomato slices with banana peppers and serve on toast.

Used to eat them hot off the vine in my great grandfather's garden.

Stopped and got some last week in Jersey along 322. Boy has that route changed!

We had a cocker spaniel that did the same thing. She only ate the ripe tomatoes and frequently left the stem on the vine.

There seems to be a thread on this every year. I never knew people ate plain tomato sandwiches until I started reading here. I love tomatoes, but tomato alone on white bread sounds kind of mushy and slimy.

I tried growing cherry tomatoes and strawberries one year and my boxer would eat them before I could get them. Even the birds didn't stand a chance.
