Sandwich Experimenting

[Rustyt1953]

I like block limburger and stilton.

Mom made me and dad eat it on the porch.

Ruthie followed suit.

Dad liked PB and mayo...myself, I'll try anything once. Haven't dug through all the replies, but sardines with mayo on toast is pretty tasty.

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!

I usually only eat 2 meals a day, and I could be happy eating (good quality) balogna, pickle loaf, or ham sandwiches on white bread with Miracle Whip mayonnaise ( dressing, actually ) with a piece of American cheese thrown in most of the time, every meal, 5 days a week, and be happy.
I don’t, but I could.

Hard to beat a good hotdog.

YES! on the hot dog. Oscar Mayer, Nathan’s, or Hebrew National beef.
I like mine with mustard, catsup, and relish.

To each his own. I know people that love baked beans, and others that love Brussel sprouts. If I ate either of them even the beer would not stop me from upchucking.

Don’t like baked beans? Really?
Even though not all baked beans are created equal, I never heard of anyone that didn’t like them.
I’m with you on the Brussels sprouts, though.

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.

What are brambles? Is this just a home made thing, or is it in a restaurant?

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.

Yeah, I can understand completely, its an acquired taste, my Mom would eat them very occasionally, I don't know if I ever saw my Dad eat Sardines, my Grandpa Middleton liked them, probably why my Mom did?? and yes they do stink, but I hold my nose and go with it, I like the mustard

I have never eaten a sardine, but I love anchovies

and speaking of anchovies, one of my Hospice Patients introduced me to "bagna cauda", which is just so lovely to dip bread or even raw cabbage?

I love garlic, but too much gives me bad indigestion.

I used to put olive oil in a small frying pan with some finely chopped garlic and then add anchovies. Heat until the anchovies liquify and disappear into the oil. Pour onto spaghetti, and add imported grated parmesan or romano cheese. Mix it up, and eat.
I could eat the whole pound of pasta

Made some great Reubens yesterday to include whipping up some Russian dressing. I use Kewpie mayo in the dressing. Regarding canned fish, I eat them near daily for lunch. Sardines, smoke - flavored salmon, smoked herring, etc. open and drain the can, hit 'em with some hot sauce, pile them on 4 crackers topped with brown mustard. Very tasty, low - carb meal.

I'm a fan of sandwiches. Not much of a sandwich chef though. But I do make meatball sandwiches and hollow the bread out like you did there. Otherwise it doesn't work. I like a sandwich that I can actually get in my mouth. Them big giant things are all well and good but if you have to deconstruct it and use a knife and fork, is it a sandwich? I think not.

Ye Ole' peanut butter, banana sandwich.

Nothing better than a true Chicago Hot Dog

Back in 60s-80s knew this man that had a small hot dog stand in Norview in Norfolk, Va. Tony had his grill in the built out front window that stuck out in the sidewalk. He only served all beef with Only mustard , onions and his thin chili. Had the long dining counter with maybe 10 stools and only served Coke, Orange drink and coffee. When you walked in he would point at you and that meant you said your order Right Then with no thinking. He made over a few million and his sons opened shops in Va. Beach and other parts of Norfolk. One time I was eating there and some guy asked for catsup on hot dog and Tony cussed him out , told him Never come back.

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 grow Purple Cherokee heirloom tomatoes every Summer just to make my favorite tomato sandwich. Fresh crusty Italian bread, a light swipe of mayo , thick cut ( 1”) slice of Cherokee tomato , thick slice of Buffalo mozzarella cheese, fresh from the garden basil leaves and a healthy drizzle of Quality olive oil. Mmm mm
My mouth is watering just typing this.

Reminds me of a forgotten hors devores. Fresh minced garlic mixed with smashed anchovies and marinara sauce. Spread on a piece of toasted fancy bread. Even fancier with melted cheese on top.

Amen! and Amen! no ketchup on a dog, no way! Sweet relish is OK though

Beef tongue sandwich on rye bread with red onions and spicy brown mustard.

Years ago the flea market in Roanoke Va. had a kitchen that sliced baloney off the big roll ,fried it then put thick slice on fresh “ Cat Head” biscuit.
Mighty good at 6:30 on Sat waiting for vendors to set up.

Peanut butter, bacon and green olives on white toast. Sounds horrible, tastes great!
