I got fed up of going to Subway. Some of the sandwiches are fine when they are eventually created, but the time spent queuing while 27 people ask me exactly which of the 275 fillings on 37 different types of bread I want drives me up the wall! Just give me the sandwich - I don't care what bread it's on, and I don't care exactly which type of lettuce is in the salad, I'm just hungry!
I love turkey sandwiches with olives and onions (preferably Malibu sweets) with some honey mustard on it.
I love sandwiches. Roast beef, swiss cheese, horseradish mustard on Ciabatta bread. Liverwurst, thinly sliced onion and mustard on seeded rye bread. Limburger cheese, sliced onion on pumpernickel bread Grilled cheese between two slices of white bread Meatballs and provolone cheese on Italian bread Fried baloney and ketchup on white bread Scrambled egg and ketchup on rye bread Bacon and strawberry jelly on white toast Muscovy duck and butter on rye bread Extra chunky peanut butter and grape jelly or strawberry jam on either white or rye bread Hamburger with fried onions from either Five Guys or American Roadside Burger Cheeseburgers from the McDonald's dollar menu Spicy chicken sandwich from Chik-Fillet Peanut butter and banana on french bread Hard salami, iceburg lettuce and mayonaise on white bread I could go one and on, and on. I love sandwiches.
My favorite sandwich would be a nice Reuben w/o buttering the Pumpernickle bread and corned beef that isn't fatty. For under $ 2 bucks McDonalds Daily Double is pretty good. I was in a hurry yesterday and for some strange reason my normal McD's was temproraily closed.So I had to find another place.The traffic in Lousiville was heavy due to Derby and I pulled into a Wendy's.The place was pretty dead. I couldn't believe their menu.The cheapest sandwich was a Wendy's single at like $ 3.69 cents.They used to have like a dollar menu.Like a chicken fried sandwich. I don't like spending a lot at Fast food because the more expensive the sandwich the worse it is.I don't know why that is.I like Burger King Whoppers. I like McDonalds Southern style chicken sandwich which has a great piece of lightly breaded chicken filet on a pretty el cheapo White Castle style bun. I'm always in a hurry around lunch time and always get a simple cheap sandwich or carry my own in my Cooler.I don't have time to hassle with experimenting with sandwiches or having my order filled. I remember a place back in my native Cleveland named - Sol's - in Shaker Heights. They had great wrapped homemade sandwiches.One of 2 brothers ran the place and wrapped the sandwiches in that thick white butchers paper and had a pencil behind his ear.Them guys could add faster than any machine.They could add up 6 or 7 sandwiches and any other stuff and write down to the exact penny in mere seconds.
Pretty extensive list there.I never had Limburger cheese.I don't even think as a kid. I think I may just buy a jar to see how smelly the stuff is. I can always put on some bread and give to the neighbor dog.I hate Waste. I firmly believe that too many americans waste an awful lot of food. I think being a sandwich person has to do with Upbringing.My Dad Loved fresh rye bread and homemade salami and weiners from a little ethnic butcher near where my Grandmother had her Trucking Company.The place was called - Franzels - and the guy had a special weiner machine shipped from germany. Franzels also had was was called - Prasky - or a Garlic summer sausage cold cut. It was really good but one had to be careful the next day when doing number 2. Luckily we had a Bathroom in our basement next to the laundry room.My father used it especially on the weekend because he bought his meats at Franzels on Friday after work. I was weaned on good fresh rye bread with salami and swiss and guldens mustard. Or That Prasky on Rye.Or them homemade weiners with the little white string on the ends.
BACON & STRAWBERRY JELLY??? WHUT??!! Oh, Frogger... that's .... awful. Barf! My fave sandwich is the delicious BLT ... w/LOTS of crispy bacon.... so good. And healthy........ Bacon and strawberry jelly.... well, it's different....
The Best sandwich ISN'T any Dagwood.Like the Best Burger isn't a 3" thick chunky cheeseburger.However the best Steak usually IS around 3" thick.Steak is totally different.Just like a steak sandwich is a joke. I don't care what Bill Cosby swears by with his Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. I know for fact that a perfectly grilled McD cheeseburger on a properly toasted bun from the 80's where the meat patty actually had bloody juices inside if properly seared is about as good as it gets ... Period. I oughta knowed.My Brothers own a few McD's.
Don't knock it until you have tried it. Sweet and salty often go together. Think of going to the movies and having popcorn and chocolate candy. The saltiness of the bacon is a perfect foil for the sweetness of the jelly. I can remember when I was student teaching in Chicago. One of my sixth graders had a peanut butter and baloney sandwich and everyone was making fun of her. I went home and tried it and it is acually quite good.
Personally I'm not into funny food.I could care less about how a sandwich sounds. Some of the nicest tasting things are simple and pure.Like little finger sandwiches on toasted white bread and nice tuna fish or smearing of Boursin w/ slivers of thin Prosciutto. Guy food often is the most lugheaded stuff on earth.Like a Dagwood. i can't stand being around guys acting like olympic weightlifters when they insist on what they crave.They just as soon forget to wash their hands,replete with the white chalk they so effusively almost inhale.
I have just baked ciabatta bread and it's cooling on a wire tray. What should I eat with it? I haven't made it before.
... Are you being serious? I personally prefer ciabatta with a meal, e.g. to make my plate clean when we eat chicken with creamy lemon sauce or something. You never can go wrong with bruchetta's either => I'm a slow cook, so peeling and chopping up the tomatoes takes forever with me...
I'm sorry but I'm a huge Bread guy.Love good bread.I just can't like " ciabatta ".Every time I try it it's always the same.It's chewy and the crust seems like it's got a super thin coating of plastic making it hard to cut and chew.Plus the dough part inside is kinda spongy instead of soft and doughy.
Foolardi,... Why you think I make bruschetta's with it, or it with creamy lemon sauce? If you ciabetta "raw" with e.g. a slice of Serrano you need to put loads of butter on it, and that ain't healthy. Ciabetta is also awesome to make garlic bread as well...
I buy every week either parmesian coated or olive/sun-dried tomato Focaccia along with a loaf of fresh Rye bread.I use Focaccia when I have antipasto and with sauteed meals with sauces.My Kroger has a great gourmet Deli and olive bar.Now I can get really good sun-dried tomato slices and an assortment of great olives and sometimes artichokes when they look good.Plus stuff like pickled carrot and cauliflower or even little squares of Feta.
Ciabatta, it and focaccia are fairly popular as cafe sandwiches here and you can buy them in most of the supermarkets, I am just not that into Italian bread and haven't had to think about what to put in one until today as I have not made one myself. It doesn't matter anyway, they ate it in about 30 minutes...
I like ciabatta with mozzarella, pesto, tomato and rocket some chicken is good if you feel carnivorous. It benefits from being heated through though.
Most Germanic Continental Western-Europeans (Germans, Dutch, Northern and North-Eastern French, Belgians, etc...) have what is called in German "Butter Brot". In Dutch, we call it "boterhammen". What Americans and the English call "sandwich", we call "topped bread". In Belgium, however, a sandwich is a baked good made out of a specific type of dough ~ it contains milk and eggs and has a touch of a sweetness to it (like a brioche). Anyways -- I agree with Frogger and Foolardi: sweet and salty mixes perfectly, for example: Gouda (young or old) with confiture (I prefer Raspberry). As a meal, there is always meatloaf (meatballs) with sour cherries. *mmmmmm*
Surely 'topped bread' would suggest only having bread on one side of the topping/filling, rather than both sides.
