I will make pretty much any food into a sandwich. In my day I have come up with some combinations that would top even Dagwood Bumstead's fineist. I'll detail my favorites and I want to know about yours. The thanksgiving special: A triple decker on toasted white bread with mayo. The bottom section was a mix of rice and cornbread dressing. The middle piece of bread is soaked in turkey gravy or has congealed gravy spread all over it like mayonnaise. The top section has a mix of thanksgiving ham, turkey, and mashed potatoes. The whole hog: On French bread that is grilled in butter on a cast iron pan and then covered in mayo. It starts with a nice cut of pork tenderloin, topped with fried ham, topped with bacon, topped with hogs head cheese, topped with pepper jack cheese. The leftover lasagna: On white bread with mayo and pickles, a big old slab of leftover lasagna and a fried egg.
rye bread, thinly cut turkey breast with a nice spicy mustard, on the sandwich i put a nice filler and the filler is what makes the sandwich. 1 avocado cut in half long ways and cubed feta cheese cilantro salt lime juice diced tomato dash of cayenne mix it together to make your filler, add to the turkey with spicy mustard on rye and booyakah!!!
i like to keep it simple. fried egg, a very thick and salted slice of tomato, and a dollop of sour cream on sliced bread, toasted on a skillet.
fried egg, bacon, tomato on toast with mayo. a combination of my two favorite sandwiches - fried egg and blt. im thinking i may try it by melting cheddar cheese on the egg.
PB & J I heard about this other sandwhich but have never made it. The recipe comes from a restaurant that only serves sanddwhiches that are variations of a grill cheese sandwhich. Two slices of bread, cheese on each slice, macoroni and cheese and bacon in the center, fold up into a sandwhich and grill in butter.
Muffaletta from Central grocery...platonically sublime....but this thread is about the best one I ever made...I'll have to think about the best one I ever made...be back later with that.
Ha! Steve, I was just about to post about the muffaleta that I made last night. Man I have missed them. You just can't get the right bread in WF.
When I first got married, my mother-in-law used to roast a pork loin every Sunday. One day I came home from the fishing camp in Lac Delisle east of Golden Meadow and I was pretty hungry. Since I was late for Sunday dinner, I just made a sandwich out of that pork loin. It was crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside...it also had been stuffed with garlic and onion. The outside had been thoroughly coated with fresh ground pepper from a grinder. The sandwich was made with very fresh, buttered and toasted, Gendusa bakery French bread, mayonnaise, pork gravy and that delicious roast. Simplicity is often greater than an overstuffed complex combination. It tasted better than normal because the Sabbath had ended...it was Sunday!! :grin:.
im the same way. i make a sandwich out of basically everything. matter of fact i dont really care for thanksgiving but look forward to the turkey sandwiches a few days later. best sandwich is simple. actual roasted turkey or chicken, lettuce, mayo, and some home grown tomatoes. Maybe some occasional jalapenos or banana peppers. (no cheese) Or anything similar to the above with bacon is awesome obviously. meatloaf sandwiches if the person cooking the meatloaf knew what the f they were doing are good. meatball sandwiches left over from a few days old spaghetti kick ass as well. i know friends who dont eat leftovers. i dig leftovers. they convert well into a sandwich of some sort. no best sandwich ever begins with the words rye bread. may as well eat a rice cake or sponge.
