My favourite sandwich has gotta be mayo chicken in a bagel with crunchy lettuce, satisfying in both taste and the crunchy texture of chopped iceberg lettuce from the shops.
Another one would be sausage and egg with some cheeky brown sauce (British lemmy users know what I mean)
What is YOUR favourite sandwich? Fillings or sauces to go with it, maybe your favourite type of bread?
Jambon-Beurre!! With some freshly baked warm Ciabatta-esque bread 😍
Cuban sandwich. If done correctly, it is a masterpiece.
I recently had a tandoori chicken salad sandwich that was --god damn…
Anything Indian or Ethiopian put between two slices of bread is absolutely amazing. The next time you order in Indian make a sandwich of some saag, vindaloo, korma, whatever and fucking enjoy.
The classic Ethiopian cuisine is stews served on a giant flatbread, it’s spiritually a sandwich even if it isn’t literally one
A sandwich I used to make when I worked at a deli. Pastrami, turkey, and provolone, melted, on a toasted onion roll with coleslaw and Russian dressing.
Tomatoe sandwich with humus and hot sauce.
Ploughman’s, easily. Thick slices of sharp cheddar, a tangy onion chutney, thin slices of apple, and some greens. More properly a ploughman’s lunch that is not in sandwich form, but it comes with bread anyway so literally the only difference is how you arrange the components
Also if there’s banh mi on offer I might just about bite your hand off to get at it
BLAT. Bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato. Best with a hearty or sweet bread type. My preferred is sweet rye. No condiments needed…just spread the avocado for the texture and added flavor. Husband prefers the bread toasted, but I like it pan fried in butter.
Make the avocado into guacamole and you can have an LGBT sandwich
There’s a cafe near me that does a BLAT/americano combo lunch and it’s so good.
Scrambled eggs with onion and chives on butter and rye bread
A nice stack of thinly sliced ham, provolone cheese melted within and on top, a nice warm sourdough or potato bread, some mayo and mustard.
I don’t know what switch flipped in my head as I got older, but a nice hot ham and cheese has become the occasional simple pleasure like no other.
It’s got to be ham and cheese. No matter where you go, usually two out the three will be excellent, so a good sandwich is easily available
France - Amazing bread, amazing cheese, good ham
Spain - Crap bread, reasonable cheese, world class ham
UK - crap bread, world class cheese, good ham
Germany - world class bread, good cheese, amazing ham
America - bread that has to be called cake in other countries because of the sugar content, homogenised dairy product, and chlorine-washed minced pork-amalgam
Ah shit it was going so well
I suspect this will be a controversial comment
Ahem. That chlorine-washed minced amalgam has a name.
…and it comes in a can. Does your amalgam come in a can?
I did see spam once in 1987
But have you enjoyed the culinary delicacy that is TREET?
E: Albeit, I’d be lying if I didn’t suggest that you hold out for our true hero here in the states:
America definitely has good bread and cheese, it’s just that the worst instances of each are particularly terrible
Their regular supermarket bread is way, way too sweet for me, but there are decent bakeries still
The great bakeries are going out of business because everyone shops at Walmart.
Deli-sliced turkey, muenster cheese, honey mustard, and my home-made pickles, on wheat.
Reuben panini
Hate every ingredient on the sandwich by itself. Divine together.
2 weeks ago I said this when someone else asked;
Baguette from our local bakery in Schinnen, they do the original French method. Tick sliced tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, home made mayo (whisked, no stickblender stuff), salt and pepper. Delicious.
Why does a whisk work better than a stick blender?
Better aeration, leading to a fluffier, though not overbeaten, final result.
Pastrami and swiss on rye. Mayo and spicy mustard.
Muffaletta is a very close runner up.
Gotta second the pastrami and swiss on rye. Especially with a good dark rye.
The black rye Schlotzkie’s used to use for this sandwich was so good.
Right now its the second sandwich in This video. I’ve made it at least a dozen times in the past month or two. Avocado and blk olives + humus + roasted red pepper/onion/zucchini + balsamic vinegar glaze(I do extra of this)
