Your Favorite Sandwiches?

[Elaina]

well, I make the best darn baklava this side of Greece. Just ask me.

Another favorite sandwich is left over T-bone steak on white with mustard. Nuked and sizzling. I always forget this one, because it's my "leave my steak alone or I will stab you" sandwich.

The best sandwich in the world is one I make
Italian roll, Provolone, Proscutto di Parma, Genoa Salami, and Capicola, with balsamic vinegar and olive oil - a touch of oregano. -Washed down with red wine over lots of ice.

Other favorites: grilled cheese with crispy bacon in the cheese.

Philadelphia Cheesteaks, my home town. But not with the Cheezwiz we give tourists.

There are too many good professionally-made sandwiches out there to count. Therefore, my two favourite sandwiches are made by myself.

The classic BLT which is currently in season as it requires garden-fresh tomatos.

A roast beef sandwich using naught but mayonaisse, romaine lettce, kosher salt, and a lot of fresh cracked black pepper.

Haversack.

Anyone ever tried fried macaroni and cheese on toast? That's *serious* comfort food eatin'!

 

[Mojave Jack]

-Cajun style Po'Boys. Either deepfried shrimp/catfish or turkey/chicken links with plenty cayenne hotsauce. (Uncle Darrow's in Venice, CA doesn't do me wrong. -- though probably does me worse than Archie's localspots.)

Mmmm. Po'boys. There's a great place on Bourbon Street who's name escapes me that had the best oyster po'boys. I miss those.

We'll have to have proof of that, of course! I'll PM you my address and you can send a batch on out... I'll give a fair review, I promise!

Man, am I getting hungry!

My youngest works at a place called Mancinos and they make a type of sandwich called a "grinder" that I cannot resist. It's an open faced sub sandwich they bake. Can't turn one down.

Sure, has to wait until I make it in November tho. Since it's so special I only make it for the holidays.

We will probably need a second opinion on Elaina's Baklava. I volunteer to be the guinea pig. I also would like to try one of her "T-Bone Steak Stab-You Sandwiches" Those sound good too!

 

[Elaina]

LOL, you guys want to just come over sometime between the Tuesday before Thanksgiving to the day after Christmas? I usually have way too many cookies, pies, baklava, halva and other assortment of fattening things that no one eats.

Plenty I assure you. I am a family of 3...and I bake/cook like I'm still at my mom's with 8 kids, parents and an assortment of spouses and children.

If I may, I would like to submit another favourite. It may be a bit ethnic however:

Openface, a light rye bread spread with dill mayonaisse, covered with fresh, tiny bay shrimp, and sprinkled with crumbled hard boiled egg. On the side, a pair of Limfjord oysters, some fresh sliced radishes, a shot of akavit, and a schooner of Carlsberg.

Well, we know that true love is the greatest thing in the world - except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is lean and the tomato is ripe.*

Well since I'm in the general DFW area, I will sacrifice myself and volunteer to be a guinea pig for Elaina's homemade baklava and steak sandwiches.

Close - there's a little bar a few blocks away from me that's on the second floor of a little two-story building from way back when. They serve fried macaroni & cheese, without the toast but with ranch dressing as a dip. It's hilariously unhealthy - but also achingly tasty.

 

[jitterbugdoll]

The ultimate sandwich--chicken salad with bacon on whole wheat toast.

I second grilled cheese with bacon, which is also good with a little onion on it.

And tuna melts are another favorite of mine.

 

[Dixon Cannon]

Reuben Sandwhich with Saurkraut...

... sorry about that, let it all hang out!

A GOOD Philly Cheesesteak.

and just once in a while for the shear guilty pleasure of it - cheap Cotto Salami slices on cheap wheat bread smothered in mustard! Man that's satisfyin'!! .... with a cold beer! (N/A these days, of course)

As I will be out this afternoon, I now need to get a sandwich...

Burger Dip: Oblong shaped hamberger with melted Swiss cheese and fried onions on a french roll with a side of Au Jus for dipping.

French Bread, Mayo, Tomatoes and Cucumbers and Onions that have been marinating in vinagar with a little pepper.

Ruben.

Oh, this is NOT going to be a good arteries day...

 

[DancingSweetie]

Mmmmm steak sandwich on garlic bread with grilled onions.

 

[deanglen]

Pancakes and peanut butter. Used up the left over pancakes. My mother's idea. I used to add butter and thought it tasted good.

Po-boy vs. Poor Boy

-Cajun style Po'Boys. Either deepfried shrimp/catfish or turkey/chicken links with plenty cayenne hotsauce. (Uncle Darrow's in Venice, CA doesn't do me wrong. -- though probably does me worse than Archie's localspots.)

Here's a bit of trivia.

Although "Po-boy" has become quite common in use, the correct "Golden Age" name for New Orleans' famous sandwich is, as Archie stated, the "Poor Boy."

The sandwich was created by the Martin Brothers in 1929, during the height of a street car strike complete with shootings and bombings. The Martins supported the strikers by making an inexpensive roast beef sandwich on French bread to feed the poor boys who were out of work because of the strike, henceforth known as the "Poor Boy" sandwich. A dressed sandwich was made "all the way."

Now made in many combinations other than roast beef, one of my favorite Poor Boys is the hamburger (with chile) at Domliese's, on the corner of Annunciation and Bellcastle, just off Tchoupitoulas. The place has been there since the '20s.
