Fried Bologna, anyone?

We call that Ghetto Steak. MMMMMMMM mmmmm Good!

I'll pass on the Newfie steak sandwich

LOL.Where I grew up we called that 'North End Steak'.

And I thought we were the only ones.

As for myself-corned beef on rye with mustard and nothing else.

But the bread has to be 'Winnipeg Style Rye'.(do a Google search)

I gotta say mine varies depending on how much money I have in the bank at the time. the Dorm favorite here at college is always:

Bread (heel is acceptable)
Bologna
Cheese (if you're fortunate)
Bread (again, heel is acceptable)

But if it's a weekend I go home, I might be lucky enough to find my favorite, which is one I imagine I'm actually eating instead of Bologna:

Bread (Wheat or White)
Cheese (American)
Smoked Turkey Breast
Roast Beef
Mayonnaise
Mustard
Bread

...maybe a pickle

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!!!

Awesome I didn't know they made Habenero tabasco.

Sorry for making anyone hungry!:nana:

Your recipe sounds great, but I'd add lettuce and some flat-sliced bread-n-butter pickles, kinda like vlasic's snadwich stackers. Yum!!

+100 Lux!! But I prefer to use lean pastrami in my ruebens. Great post tho!!

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

This thread is epic! There ought to be some kind of international sandwich convention.

Maybe a "mail Ryan a tasty sandwich packed in dry ice thread"?

I would have to go with a Reuben also. They aren't very healthy, but they sure do have a unique taste.

Peanut butter and bacon on toasted english muffing is my long time favorite. Occasionally it evolves into a basic BLT, with a slice of onion and peanut butter on toast.
Also, I was recently reminded how tasty something simple can be. I did a short stint in the hospital and the first real food served after bullion is usually the hospital version of a turkey sandwich -- normally served late at night. One thin piece of turkey between two slices of white bread, gently lathered with mayonaise. Ambrosia!

There's nothing that improves a sandwich more than another sandwich.

With that in mind - a few favourites from the UK.

ONE:
Hot sausages ( The English or Irish 'banger' variety ) sliced
two slices of emmental or Leerdammer cheese.
Melt the cheese over the sliced sausage (grill or micro - both are good )
Two slices of fresh white crusty Bloomer.

Large hungry mouth to feed.

TWO:
Flaked Smoked Mackerel.
Sliced dark skinned plum.
tsp Horseradish sauce.
Pepper to taste.
Basically mix all the ingredients together then bung it in a baguette with a bit of lettuce if you like.

THREE:
Left over Roast Sunday Lunch.
I.E. Sliced chicken, stuffing, sausages, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, mushrooms from the gravy and most importantly - bread sauce.
Assemble all the above in a large but not ungainly heap on one slice of bread, then cover with another. Wrap in foil and leave in fridge for a few hours.
Great for long hike lunchtimes.



Well that's all that occur to me today.

Next time I'll post pictures too.

PS - my favourite sandwich from a restaurant is a Pulled Pork bun from Bodean's in soho. Good with pickle but their chips/fries are really very salty and OTT.

My old standard:

smoked turkey
tomato
Swiss cheese
two slices of smoked bacon
mayonnaise
on toasted wheat

Now share your favorite sandwich!

Sorry for making anyone hungry!:nana:

I'd make a few adjustments... if you don't mind.

I'd add some thinly sliced cucumbers (Japanese preferred), avocado, a tiny bit of onion, and use thick multi-grain bread instead of just wheat. :thumbsup:

This is a sandwich i like to make for picnics.

Start with a long loaf of french bread. Squash it down until it is soft.
Cut it lengthwise, and add your favorite condiments such as
ketchup, mayo, etc,
I just put anything in season.

Then layer on

Cheese
Lettuce
Tomato
Onions
Grilled zuchini
Grilled strips of bacon
Grilled sausage meat
Scrambled egg
Cheese

And drizzle some italian dressing on it

The cheese between the layers help keep the bread from going
soggy.

Another recipe, for really heavy breakfast sandwich
2 really thick piece of bread, its better if you can
cut it yourself from the original loaf.

In a fry pan, fry up bacon, sausage, and put cheese on it
to melt the cheese.
In another pan, make eggs sunny side up.
Next, caramelize some onions and garlic too.

To put it together, take the two pieces of bread
and spread maranara sauce on both sides.
Put the bacon and sausage and top with the egg.
Then break the egg yolk so the egg yolk runs into
the sausage and bacon, combining the mixture.
The egg will thicken soon and create a lovely
creamy flavor.

Does THIS count as a sandwich?
