home grown tomatoes will make anything better. just a plain old tomato sandwich can be great if its fresh from the garden tomatoes. tomatoes, a bit of mayo, on white bread.
that reminds me. I make a killer egg sandwich. medium fry an egg. slap it between a couple pieces of bread and cheese then grill? it in a skillet with some butter. no meat needed but bacon cant hurt. but you gotta smash the bread and flatten it out first. thats some major eatage.
The best sandwich I ever made was a shrimp poboy on a half a loaf of fresh French bread. My mom's fried shrimp (which are the best in the world), with a layer of mayo & mustard with a dash of Tabasco (this must be mixed together in a small bowl, then spread on the bread.) So simple...but so good. In a few weeks, I'll be starting up the daily ritual of the peanut butter sandwich every day of the school year. Jif chunky on Mrs. Baird's split top honey wheat.
i cant tell you the number of times ive asked someone to bring sandwiches only to be surprised with shrimp poboys and muffulettas.
I made a boudin, egg and cheese on wonderbread with mayo once. Pretty friggin bitchin and it did not kill my buzz. Veggies have no place on such a fine protein infused creation. Hellman's mayo. I don't get all the Blue Plate fuss. GP yellow mustard, just a touch.
club sandwich: 2 slices fried Canadian bacon, swiss, tomato, avocado, and sprouts on wheat with mayo.
mom: hey what kind of sandwich you kids want? pb&j, ham and cheese, bologna? kid: nah we'll take shrimp poboys and muffulettas, thanks.
I just thought of another awesome one I made. I buttered both sides of two pieces of white bread cut the middle out, and grilled them in a skillet. I cracked and fried eggs in each of holes I had cut. The guts of the sandwich were grits with cheddar cheese and hogs head cheese mixed in, sautéed bell peppers and onions and bacon.
Okay, point well-taken, but poboys and muffulettas do fit into the category of sandwiches, do they not? But, if I'm sticking to tirk's narrow definition of "sandwich," then the ever good, ever simple grilled cheese.
