Sandwich Experimenting

I had Forgotten about this Burger combo. until i talked with my nephew over the weekend.
it Started with a contest at Scotty's brew house. it was on their menu as Schuaman special
Hamburger with fresh jalapenos, cheddar cheese and peanut butter. i like to add a little sweet BBQ sauce
 
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! :)
And I thought that that was a Southern tradition. I like a tomato sandwich too!
 
Not a sandwich but great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. A Double Order all the way with extra jalapeños from the Waffle House.
What is it? We don't have any Waffle houses up here in Western NY. Bummer!!!!
But we do have a lot of Biscuits and Gravy up here all over the place that's topnotch for breakfast lunch and dinner.

It’s hash browns with ham, mushrooms, onions, cheese, jalapenos, then covered with chili. I stop in and order this for breakfast on the way to the gun show. Keeps you from being hungry until dinner.
OOO, does sound good but I'll dispense with the mushrooms. I might have to make a pitstop or two while at the gun show though.

My Dad used to eat peanut butter and sardine sandwiches. I like both ingredients but never wanted them in the same sandwich. When I was a kid, bread meant white bread. We rarely had any other kind, and on the occasion when we did it was always just seeded rye bread. I didn't eat much peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches as a kid. Mostly I had cream cheese and strawberry jelly.

As an aside, why do some folks here think its cute or something to call a sandwich a "sammich"? It just sounds cheesy and ignorant to me.
 
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!
You lost me with the spinach, but I am intrigued with the rest of your masterpiece. 😋

We exported heart attacks to the north. 😁

I love bacon, spicy mustard and super sharp cheddar on a croissant or a roll. Yum! The only thing better is a piece of country ham instead of the bacon.

Unfortunately in my old age all that salt is a big no no.

You know, when you think about it it’s really hard to make a bad sandwich.

Where I lived most of my life, here in the south, we had a true Kosher deli. Very unusual for a southern town but Harold established it in 1948 and he peptide it going until his wife died around 2008 and it became too much to keep going. Harold showed up every morning at 3:00an to start preparing today’s food. He made his own pickles, corned beef and may have made his own pastrami. All of the bread was his making too.

Harold had the absolute best sandwiches I’ve ever had and I’ve had sandwiches in some of the most renowned delis. These were not your typical anemic two transparent slice wonders steamed to mush. Harold’s easily had 8 ounces of meat smothered in Russian dressing. These were sandwiches few of us could eat all of so most of us took half home.

Harold’s signature was the Giant Twist. It was easily 8 ounces of corned beef, pastrami, think there was a touch of Turkey and covered in Russian dressing. It was hard eating that beast without getting dressing up to your elbows especially because it came with an extra side of dressing. All of that came on a home made egg twist roll.

The Gilbert was his second offering but most everyone got the GT. I can’t remember what was on the twist other than corned beef as the main meat but I do remember it was equally as good.

It’s been too damned humid to cook up here in the north east so sandwiches it is.
This one is : a light swipe of mayo, Rotisserie chicken, four types of fresh lettuce from the garden, strawberries, walnuts and a drizzle of Raspberry vinaigrette. All on a large toasted croissant.

Nothing like a tomato sandwich on white bread, Dukes mayo.

Thin sliced country ham sandwich, mayo, tomato on toasted bread from a little restaurant in Cheraw, SC. I’d never had one before and I’ve lived and traveled in the South the all my life. My late dad taught my wife to put the ham in a cast iron skillet in a little water and cook it for a couple minutes, pour the water off and finish cooking. It wasn't so salty and was very tender.

Bacon cheese burger with chunky PB and a runny egg on top. Not a sandwich but my grandpa's favorite snack. Soda crackers crushed with milk poured over them.
