I'm so bad, The wife has me on a daily sandwich limit 2 only. At heart I'm a 3x a day guy.
7:30am Coffee then coffee with Ham, egg, cheese, green chili on a hard roll. Kiaser roll out west.
1pm it's cappi ham, hard salami, pepperoni, mortadella, mozzarella. Lite mayo, tomatoes, lettuce, shaved onion, banana peppers on a sub-roll.
Around 6:30pm I finally get healthy with chicken cutlets or fried cod on a hard roll. Lite mayo or tartar sauce, lettuce, tomatoes.
I loved the OPs namesake beer. Remember all the great adds.

As a WPA guy, I favor the Primanti Brothers style all on Italian bread: ham, fried eggs, sweet red peppers, French fries, cole slaw, tomatoes, lettuce or spinach & Swiss cheese. No dressing, please. If I have time, a few minutes in the oven. Boom. Life is good.

Many years ago I and my friends ate at Primanti Brothers while attending a Bengals game and a Reds game.

Both times we were regaled in Bengals and Reds livery and the crowd welcomed us as sports fans.

Good eats fer shore.
 
Growing up in Baltimore, a summertime staple was tomato sandwiches on white bread, with salt, pepper, and mayo. For the best taste, you want the big beefsteak tomatoes, sliced thin. You can also build on this basic sandwich, and add thin slices of onion and some Cooper’s Sharp White American cheese. You can also toast the bread. Delicious! :)
 
I have been watching a lot of British crime dramas on TV. The actors are often eating Fish and Chips, but also "Sausage Rolls." I looked up a recipe for British sausage rolls and made some and they are damn good! I totally pigged out on the things. They aren't hard to make and they are worth the effort. If you are interested there are a lot of recipes online.
 
My wife's ex owns a bar-n-grill about a mile from the house. We don't exchange Christmas cards but his daughter, my step, was down there last year for "crab legs night." She brought me about a pound of leftovers and next day I reheated the lot in butter, threw them on a whole wheat hoagie roll, smothered that with mozzarell and 5 minutes in the air fryer yielded the best sammich I have ever had. I garr-onn-tee it tasted better than it looks. I kept the pic like it was on of a hot ex-girlfriend:) Joe
 
In the south we have a sandwich called “boiled brambles and vinegar”

Take a handful of young brambles and boil them in salted vinegar water overnight until edible. Pad a sandwich roll with peanut butter, ketchup, navy beans, canned oysters, and ranch dressing and lay the bramble mush out all over everything. Garnish with grated carrot.
 
Peanut butter and potato chips. My Grandfather used to make pork and bean sandwiches in the 50s-60s.
My Mom baked the pork and bean sandwiches in the oven, topped with Bacon and some shredded Cheddar, they were so good.. and my Mom made the best meat loaf, which also made a great sandwich cold??
 
I substitute Ketchup for the mayo. I may try Miracle Whip in place of the mayo sometime though. Sounds good either way
OH NO!!! Ketchup is for French Fries and Steak, and while I can do Miracle Whip on a Tuna sandwich, Mayonnaise is awesome, and death to Miracle Whip on Potato Salad, no real Southerner would eat that... and I like Heinz 57 on steak even better... and no, I'm not talking about burnt up nasty little steaks, we raised polled Hereford's, nothing like the real thing Baby!

I had an amazing Porterhouse at Longhorn recently, if you would have put it on that fresh loaf, it would have made a great sandwich, LOL

Anyway, back on topic, I used to make bologna, tomato, and sliced onion sandwich on white bread that's not bad with some bread and butter pickles, and my Mom made ham sandwiches with a couple of layers of thick ham, mustard, horse radish, and some crispy hot sweet spears out of a big crock? maybe they were "lime pickles"??

But then nothing really beats a nice roast beef sandwich, with mustard, horse radish, and a dill pickle on the side
 
My pantry has a stack of these, bought at aldies on the cheap. Used to scarf em down while watching old reruns of "The Doctor". Anymore use saltines (un salted) for various sorts of miniwiches
Uh?? are they still saltines with NO Salt?? but I do like sardines on saltines, say that 10 times as fast as you can..
 
Lots of great suggestions!!!!

Yesterday was another hollowed out ciabatta onion roll, Mancini sweet fried peppers, imported grated parmesan, several slices of of Cittero pepperoni, ham, aged provolone, sautéed spinach in olive oil and garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar
all good but the "stinky feet" cheese, I'm really not into parmesan, the local Scheels makes a great 4 Cheese and rotisserie style chicken sandwich on sourdough,, they leave the parmesan off of mine though, but its really good, heated and toasted.
 
I like to experiment making different sandwiches. Yesterday, I bought some onion flavored ciabatta rolls. And I came up with:

Slice the rectangular roll the long way, and pull out the dough in the center. I just like the crusts for making a sandwich. Next on the bottom part of bread, a layer of Mancini longshots ( fried hot peppers ), then a couple pieces of aged sharp provolone. Then some rare roast beef, and top that with sauteed spinach ( garlic and oil), then some grated Romano. Then on the top piece of bread, a bit of light Greek dressing.

Man was that good!
A plain old fried baloney sandwich made up of white bread and mayonnaise, hot or cold, is hard to beat. Yum-yum!

I always found sardines disgusting. Abhor both the sight and smell. Can’t even stand to be around anyone else eating them. I have had to just walk away a couple of times from someone that had opened up a can and started eating them.
If I were in a long-term situation where sardines were the only food available, I could go a lot of days in a row without eating before dipping into any of those nasty things.
