I love the sound of the sourdough wheat.....mmm..mmmm. To bad tomatoes can't always taste like they do in the summer.

How about some Bar-b-que?
Hamburger fried with ketchup served on buttered white bread.

(I just read "How to speak Minnesotan." and read it there.)

Fried Bologna, anyone?

I'll pass on the Newfie steak sandwich.

My fave:

grilled chicken
sliced tomatoes with salt and pepper
melted cheese
lettuce
caesar dressing

all on a toasted honey oat bread

with a side of baby dill sliced lengthwise

and a cup of fresh squeezed OJ

What kind of bologna? Here in central PA a fried bologna sandwich is made with sweet or regular lebanon bologna (Lebanon county PA) and usually includes a fried egg or two which was fried after the bologna to add flavor. Mmmm mmmmm.

But my favorite sandwich is still a nicely grilled ham and cheese. Type of bread, cheese, ham, and mustard changes with mood, but it's always grilled to a golden brown, and may include a nice slice of tomato. A kosher dill spear or two always finds their way onto the plate.

My favorite is the Classic Reuben:


  • 1) Get wafer thin sliced, lean, quality corned beef with minimal gristle streaks (if necessary remove any tough streaks with knife)

  • 2) Jarlsberg Swiss, thinly sliced

  • 3) Sauer Kraut (Boar's Head or anther quality brand)

  • 4) Best quality real Jewish rye bread with seeds (I use Levi's brand)

  • 5) Wishbone Thousand Island dressing.

Empty kraut into sieve or collander and let drain. If you want a weaker flavor, you can rinse it under cold water. After draining, you must then dump onto about 4 paper towels, fold up sides and then squeeze even more moisture out into sink. You want it pretty well dried out.

Butter one side of two slices of rye bread, placing first butter side down into skillet (best to use non-stick). Layer bread with 1 to 1.5 slices of swiss (depending on thickness), then thin corned beef, then a good covering of kraut.

Now you could have mixed the dried out kraut beforehand with however much 1,000 island dressing you want, but I normally drizzle the amount I like over the kraut.

Add another 1 to 1.5 slices of the swiss and top bread slice, butter side up.

Turn on medium heat and cover. Wait for around 5 mins, check that bottom has browned but not blackened. Keep cooking until you have a nice browned layer, then carefully and quickly flip over. (It takes practice so you don't spill out the sandwich contents when flipping). Cook on other side, but let lid partially off so trapped moisture doesn't make it soggy.

Cut in half and serve with a kosher dill & potato chips.

They keys to make a superb Reubin are the quality of the lean, thinly sliced, gristle free corned beef, Jarlsberg Swiss (I've tried at least 15 differenet swiss cheeses), Wishbone brand of Thousand Island (again, I've tried many others), and really drying out the kraut or you end up with soggy wet bread. If you skimped on the Thousand Island, you can put some extra on your plate for dipping.

This is actually very easy to make, and it is superb

Sounds like a great Reuben, Lux. For some simpler fare I've enjoyed liverwurst and onion on pumpernickel bread, or the southern favorite pimento cheese with a slice of tomato.

Inch thick white bread,
1/4 inch gammon steak, hot from the skillet.
thin smear of peanut butter, mayonnaise and tabasco sauce. Sounds awful but tastes divine, one for the confirmed carnivore.

Fills the stomach and cleans out the sinuses all in one go. Sets you up for the day pefectly!

Good suggestions!!!

Haven't had the pleasure to try alot of them, but I enjoyed eating french bread stuffed with Chorizo, Creme fraiche, black pepper, and quite a few drops off Habanero Tabasco

Took one of these big beasts with me up into the 3 valleys each day last week snowboarding, and it was GoooD!!!
