That would have to be a Tampa Cuban sandwich, pressed!  

 

Two places in town make fabulous ones.  At home, I love sandwiches.  Never met one I didn't like.  Today, it is Beerwurst and homemade sauerkraut on a bun!

Re: Food Talk: What is your favorite...........

I keep all my bread, bagels, english muffins, etc. in the freezer.  Just pop a couple whatever in the toaster when I want to make a sandwich.

 

I'm a big fan of sandwiches!  (and a side of cole slaw or pasta salad and a juicy pickle)

 

If I'm going to the diner down the block - and having a sanddwich:  (they serve a side of cole slaw with all sandwiches)

 

BLT on rye, lots of mayo

 

Tuna salad on rye, lots of mayo

 

Grilled provolone cheese w/tomato on white

 

Ruben on rye

 

Pastrami on rye - lots of mustard

 

They have a really good selection of wraps on the menu and some paninis.

---------------------------------------------------------

At home

 

Vegetable sandwiches:  some hummus spread on whole grain bread with thin slice of cucumber, tomato, some baby spinach leaves.  Even sliced beets and spinach leaves w/(mashed) feta cheese.   Lots of veggies can be sliced for sandwich.

 

Tuna melt on English muffin

 

I like grilled cheese (either American, Swiss or Provolone - whatever is in the fridge - jazzed up with olive spread or some pesto spread - depending on cheese.

 

Hot turkey on white toast - turkey gravy

Heaven! Woman Wink

bell peppers sauted in olive oil and then piled on a toasted sub roll with scrambled eggs. I like them with oil and vinegar but I think some use mayo...

They're yummy!

 

Funny story about the ruben: There's nothing in them I don't like so I've been known to order them in delis (turkey pastrami only), years apart of course, and I think they're awful! Lol

i've had to instruct family members to NOT let me do it again! Lol

One of my favorites is hot dogs, lettuce, tomato, mustard and mayo on a burger roll, toasted.

Re: Food Talk: What is your favorite...........

I have a sandwich at home every day. I was alternating it with the same ingredients but in a warmed tortilla because my husband like those, but for some unknown reason, he doesn't do lunch anymore.

 

My sandwich doesn't usually change: A good quality multi-grain slice of bread, two slices of Dietz & Watkins (sp) packaged Golden Brown turkey, a small piece of white cheddar, Kumato tomatoes (salted and peppered), and mayo/sweetpickle relish/some type of spicy or stone-ground or Dijon mustard.

 

We hardly ever go out to eat, but when we do, it's for dinner -- so no sandwiches then.

 

Wasn't all that excruciatingly fascinating?

Re: Food Talk: What is your favorite...........

I'm pretty boring.

 

First of all, as to bread, I like a nice organic whole grain bread with seeds.  My current fav is Dave's Killer Bread Good Seed.

 

One I make myself sometimes is peanut butter and jam.  I like Jif Creamy pb with Smuckers Simply Fruit Strawberry Jam.    The jam is nice and there is no refined sugar added, just fruit sugar and it's very tasty.  I use the apricot variety for toast.

 

Sometimes I make a half a sandwich with Monterey Jack cheese and mustard.   That's all.  Smiley Happy    I like it.

 

I also like a grilled cheese and also sometimes make a grilled turkey and cheese or a grilled ham and cheese.

 

Sometimes I like to make a turkey one when I have some turkey breast that I roasted.  I slice it sort of thick-ish and all I want on the bread with it is some butter.     I wouldn't do that with store-bought sliced turkey, though, as the ones I make have much better flavor.

 

I also get these Jimmy Dean pre-cooked little sausage patties.  Just brown them in a pan with a smidgeon of butter.  Two of them is perfect for a half-sandwich and I just put some mustard on the bread and sometimes I add cheese.   I always keep a bunch of these on hand.  They come vac-sealed in two lots of 4.   Each 4pack is two meals for me and I toss the other 4 back in the freezer for another time.

 

That's about it.  See - boring!  Smiley Very Happy

Re: Food Talk: What is your favorite...........

@Andreatoo  My fave sandwich of all time is fresh Jersey tomatoes from either a neighbor or relatives garden, mayo, cracked pepper on Wonder white toast. Short season to enjoy them. It's also the only time I buy Wonder bread.Woman Wink

 

I really don't eat a lot of sandwiches but another fave I make if we're out for the day with friends for a picnic in a park is, Genoa salami, provolone, fresh mozzarella in water thick slice and roasted red and green peppers from Progresso in a jar. I spill some of the pepper.oil liquid on the center cut of Italian bread with sesame seeds from the bakery. No end pieces. Oh man! So yummy! "IF" I make a sandwich, I need to totally take it seriously and love and enjoy it. Life is short. LOL

 

As a kid, pepper and egg sandwiches were a lunch staple. Also potato and egg sandwiches. I was very lucky to live within walking distance to my grandma who made this glorious Italian treat and many of my aunts homes. My mom made it too. I could graze in my neighborhood for Italian delicacies. Woman LOL
