Wow, that sounds great!

Ok..here's another sandwich that I ate waaayy too much of in the service, but gotta mention it....hope it's not a dupe:

spam-n-egg.

Out in the field in the middle of winter, really good stuff along with some coffee that's been brewing for 2 days in the mess tent.

Yum...

Of course, I guess now everyone in the world knows I'll never be an Emeril!

The best sandwich I know is from a famous Norwegian 20s cookbook. It's called (if I remember the english equivalents to the Norwegian titles correctly, and I probably don't,) a Duke Sandwich. I "translated" the recipe to a modern kitchen, and It's the best sanwich I've ever tasted. The filling is an egg salad with mayo, mustard, chicken and parmesan cheese. Matched with white bread and salad.

I like lots of the ones posted already, and I can appreciate a great sandwich made with fresh quality ingredients....but much as I hate to admit it, my secret guilty pleasure happens once every 24 months or so when I cave, and buy a can of Underwood's Chicken Spread....pure fat and chicken gristle....I'm always relieved to not see anything moving when I open the can!

my absolutely favorite sandwich comes from the red and black cafe in portland. it's called a "TLT" or "TLP" - tempeh bacon, lettuce and either tomato or roasted pepper, with herbed veganaise on sourdough. mmmm.

another favorite grilled sandwich that i like to make myself is marinated grilled tofu, avocado, tomato (if in season), grilled onions, and sometimes cheese. and whatever else i have laying around that sounds good!

I can't believe I've read a bunch of these posts and nobody here likes a fried bologna (baloney) sandwich! Thats a staple around here, along with heart attacks...but they are good!

Yup, that one and the other the Underwood Deviled Ham are processed meats at their most processed. I like the deviled ham on toasted sourdough.

I have a couple favourite sandwiches out there, and a couple I am going to have to try making after reading this thread...

There is a place in town that does a strange variation on the Shish Taouk that Lizziemaine mentioned. They spell it as Shish Tawouk and it starts the same way with fresh pita and spit roasted chicken. they then add a few fried potato slices, a handful of pickles, a splash of garlic sauce, a splash of hot sauce, and top it with a very odd kind of Lebanese coleslaw made with purple cabbage. They finish it with a minute or so in a panini press.

Very odd, but absolutely incredible.

I am also very fond of doing this sandwich myself; fresh onion bun with roasted leg of lamb, gorgonzola cheese and red pepper jelly.

I'm quite boring with sandwiches...I really like anything with portobellos, mozzarella, and balsamic, if I was going fancy. But truly? Ham, gruy?®re and butter on a baguette. Or egg mayo, which, I am told, is the only sandwich ever left over at children's parties. Oh well, more for me!!

But Favorite?
Lobster roll-Lobster salad (with some lobster roe) on a buttered toasted hot dog roll.

Lately I've been eating Vietnamese sandwiches. These come on somewhat hard French rolls with spicy meats, pates, always shredded carrots, some onion, some vinegar. No cheese. I like them because they are different and CHEAP. You get them for about $2 here, whereas in contrast a good normal restaurant sandwich will run you $5-$8.50.

Ok, but Just once every year or so, okay? (see Kentucky Fried Bologna post above)

Being originally from the great KY, I second the motion, however, ya gotta go to Waldo, OH

Here's a link: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/07/23/sunday/main564737.shtml

Unless you live southern KY, makes for a nice road trip! Anything in southern ky, make take another hour or so.....

This reminds me - those who like this thread on the FL should check ths web site out:

I found it whilst waxing nostalgic about those Butoni Flying saucer toaster pizzas of the 70s (vomitous cheese/sauce slop enclosed in crust - the crust burned to a hard-palate-searing temperature whilst the filling remained frozen no matter what......), Koogle flavored Peanut butter ("Koo-koo-koogle, with the koo-koo-koogely eyes!!"), and Chizza (A nasty frozen all-white pie - which no one else seems to remember, which could mean I was on acid for at least one portion of my childhood.....)

Thanks for the link to the Waldo, OH bologna story! :eusa_clap

 

[DeaconKC]

Not quite sure if this still qualifies.......

but there is a central/southern Illinois .......uh........sammich........uh.........meal..........ok, it's a heart attack on a plate, they call the Horseshoe. lay a kaiser roll open face with a thick grilled burger on each half. Mustard, grilled onions and dill pickle, cover with hot, fat fries and then pour melted cheese over the whole shebang.

I'm getting chest pains just reading about it!!!

One of my favorite sandwiches...sauteed sliced portabello mushrooms with lettuce, baby spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, hummus, and spicy brown mustard on multigrain bread, seasoned with a little salt, pepper, and oregano. mmmmmmmmm.

So many and so little time.

There is a sandwich served in West Texas. It is German sausage, sour kraut, swiss cheese with mustard on grilled rye. Make my mouth water just thinking about it. Yummmmmmmmmmmm

Today I had smoked salmon with lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, onions, cornichons, and mayonnaise on a croissant roll at a neighborhood sandwich shop..
