Your Favorite Sandwiches?

[PistolPete1969]

Reuben & potato pancakes from the oroginal Izzy's in Cincinnati. The potato pancake is as big as a hubcab; deep fried & seasoned to perfection. The Reuben is to die-for; crispy sauerkraut, tons of good, lean, pastrami and swiss cheese.

Mmmmmm....getting hungry!!

Cured smoked beef tongue on rye. Had it from Zan's a local Jewish deli/restaurant yesterday.

 

[DanielJones]

Pastrami on Jewish rye with mustard only. Stacked high & steaming hot! :essen:

Cheers!

half a Baguette, loads of butter (preferably the salty type), loads of ham, and a little cheese.

Bliss!!

If I must eat sandwich then I prefer it with smoked salmon. I prefer dark whole grain bread open though. I'm quite traditional Danish that way. On Dark bread I prefer fish filet, mayonaise, shrimp, caviar, and white asparagus or in other words; a shooting star.

Now you're making me hungry! lol

Mmmm. When I took my wife out for Valentine's Day dinner this year I had gravlaks for the first time, served on dark rye toast triangles. Soooo good.

I have discovered another place to get a good cheese steak! :cheers1: Also, I have found a new sandwich: Breaded chicken breast and grilled onions topped with A1.

This thread is in need of a good old shove.

Apart from my old favourites which I have no doubt posted here (bacon sandwich, cold roast lamb and chutney, etc) I just the other day hit upon a ripper of a sanga.

With the left over roast beef from Sunday lunch, I made the following sandwich and seriously recommend it:

Grab a couple of slices of bread (any old thing will do, I made one with doorstop soft white bread and another later with wholemeal - both worked), sliced cold roast beef, thinly sliced red onion, thinly sliced gherkin, slices of a good quality smoked cheddar and horseradish cream. Seriously brilliant tucker and especially washed down with a darkish ale.

Worth a crack friends!

Oops, bartenders, please banish this to the Connoisseur section.

I dredged up this thread which is so ancient it existed before the hoity-toity food section even existed.

Apologies to all.

The Horseshoe of Springfield Illinois

Hi

The nearest large town to my home town is Springfield Illinois. I ate a few of these back in the late 1960's and again here lately. The Horseshoe is an open faced ham (any lunch meat, or now burger) sandwich on Texas Toast, covered in French Fries, and that coated with white cheese sauce. I love a good ham sandwich, but these are overkill. It is slightly famous, having been shown on Man VS Food.

See the second page of the menu to see the variations. I see that this is a duplicate post from 2006. I even searched on Horse in this thread and didn't find the duplicate. I EVEN spelled "horse" correctly and EVERYTHING.

Don't know about you, but it sounds good to me!

Hi Undertow, most of the other sandwiches on this list are something I can eat everyday. This isn't. We're talking about a 9 inch plate heaped with French Fries, and entirely coated with white cheese sauce. It leaves a ball of starch in your stomach for roughly 2 days. Tastes Great, but Less Filling it ain't.

paper thin sliced smoked ox tongue with onions, capers and coarse stone ground mustard on a hard roll. sliced pickled beets on the side.

 

[Pompidou]

Reubens are my favorite sandwich, but I rarely make them myself. There's a nice deli that does them better.

 

[scottyrocks]

Two of my favorites are egg salad and american cheese on whole wheat toast, and sliced tomato and american cheese on whole wheat toast with a dab o' mayo. Not complicated, but I love 'em.

Muffaletta.

The first one I had was sometime in the '90s. It was hot, from Central Market. The last one I had was this year from a local supermarket here in the northwest corner of Washington State, and they made them for Mardi Gras -- which isn't a tradition here. It was actually pretty good. The one I had before that was from Frank's Restaurant, which is just a few doors down from Central Market on Decatur. That was Summer 2009.

You can't beat a muffaletta and a cold beer.

I likes me a soft shell crab sammy when in season.

 

[bunnyb.gal]

A grilled cheese sandwich, with Heinz tomato soup on the side. Cheapo soft sliced bread (the only way I can bear to eat that stuff), and either cheddar-type cheese or those cheese-food slices in plastic wrap will do, but the bread has to be well-buttered and the sandwich cooked super super s-l-o-w-l-y so that buttery crunchy outside forms, just beautifully golden. A labour of love which takes me back to my childhood. (Except that, if I recall correctly, my ma nearly always burned them!)

Amen, brother!

Sandwiches I miss from my LA days:
Turkey Reuben from Canters
An 'absolutely famished' burger from Mo' Better Meaty Meat Burger. It was the best burger joint in LA as far as I was concerned. It's no longer there, unfortunately.
