What is your favorite sandwich? I like grilled cheese, a slice of pickle, and ketchup. How about you?

[debm55]

[brewens]

1. I like a good Rueben. I put it on a dark German rye I make. Saur kraut, Russian dressing and Swiss cheese. n/t

[Shermann]

7. That is probably mine as well

...but I'm too lazy to make it and usually settle for that grilled cheese.

[debm55]

9. sounds great!

[Chainfire]

61. I am with you on that one. I drive 40 miles to a sandwich shop for them.

[Native]

78. That's my favorite. A grilled cheese is next in line.

[debm55]

83. Yes, Ruebens and Grilled Cheese.

[mike_c]

86. one of my favorites, too

I sous vide the corned beef for two days, lol. I use grilled Jewish rye.

[2naSalit]

2. All at once?

Are these added or the whole sandwich?

So many questions.

[debm55]

6. I changed the title to what is your favorite sandwich--so it would be easier. Post as much or little as you want. But

when your looking for that terrific sandwich, what do you have?

[2naSalit]

16. Oh my.

Well, I liked your added things. I rarely eat sandwiches so I think it would depend on the main ingredient and what "goes with" it in a sandwich.

[2naSalit]

22. When I read it...

I was trying to picture a sandwich made of pickle and ketchup for some reason.

[debm55]

28. That's funny.

[debm55]

43. That's funny.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. Bacon, lettuce, a good tomato, and mayo.

[debm55]

10. Yum

[CanonRay]

44. Always!

[sarge43]

101. Yes!

On toasted whole wheat bread.

[Elessar Zappa]

4. Favorite sandwich, that's a tough one!

Probably sourdough with good roast beef, mayo, horseradish, lettuce, tomato, and very thinly sliced red onion. A close second is crunchy peanut butter and apple butter on plain white bread.

[debm55]

11. Great choice, Elessar

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Mayo, ketchup, mustard, onions, pickles, ranch or russian dressing, sour cream, salt, pepper, cheese

This goes well on burgers too. Often the sandwich is just lettuce and tomato

[debm55]

13. That;s alot to eat, TY

[ggma]

49. One of my nieces was horrified

That her Auntie ate "salad sandwiches" 😄

Good eating; sometimes I just don't want meat you know?

gg

[debm55]

52. I eat them too.

[JoseBalow]

118. My friend once ordered a Whopper with no meat

years later and I'm still processing that one

[debm55]

123. i would--never liked their burgers. That's funny though. TY

[Lonestarblue]

8. Cuban.

The sandwich is made with ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and sometimes salami on Cuban bread. I leave out the salami and usually it’s just ham rather than ham and roasted pork.

[debm55]

14. Love Cuban sandwiches'

[RainCaster]

76. Love dem Cubans!

It seems every restaurant in FL does them just a little bit different. I love the variety!

[Ocelot II]

12. Ketchup on grilled cheese? Ick, never!!

But I do like a grilled cheese sandwich. A pure, unadulerated one, without any other stuff on it.

[debm55]

17. Hahahahha---it's a must for me.

[Diamond_Dog]

20. Mr. Diamond will not eat a grilled cheese sandwich

….without elderberry jelly on it. His whole family did that.

[Ocelot II]

26. That's unusual. I don't even know where to get elderberry jelly.

But I guess if that's what he grew up with... Still, it has to be better than ketchup.

[debm55]

29. Try it, you'll like it

[Ocelot II]

30. I don't like ketchup. On anything.

[Diamond_Dog]

96. Me neither, Ocelot. Not even on French fries.

[moniss]

51. I used to pick elderberies

and then have to pick them from their clumps as we got ready to make jelly. Purple hands but homemade jelly etc. is so worth it especially when the snow is flying and the cold wind is blowing and you get to sit in the house and have coffee and toast with homemade elderberry jelly.

[Diamond_Dog]

97. I agree, it is my favorite jelly.

Just not on a grilled cheese sandwich.

[Xoan]

15. BLT

[debm55]

19. Great choice,

[Earl_from_PA]

18. Pastrami Reuben

With mustard, not Russian dressing.

[debm55]

21. That sounds good. What type of bread?

[Earl_from_PA]

23. Traditional jewish rye

...

[Ziggysmom]

24. Cucumber with cream cheese on dark rye. I add some ranch seasoning to the cream cheese, too.

Wish I had one now! With kettle chips on the side!

[debm55]

31. Ziggysmom, that sounds good.

[OAITW r.2.0]

25. BMT

On a 12" Herb and Cheese Roll. Extra Provolone. Tomatoes, Black Olives, Onion, Spinich, Mayo and P/S/ Sometimes a few Jalapeno's if I'm feeling I need a little spice,

I always make this at Subway,

[debm55]

32. Yummy, sounds wonderful.

[SWBTATTReg]

27. Peanut Butter and Jelly. Always loved it. Also, a good tuna fish sandwich hits the spot.

[debm55]

34. pure goodness for both

[genxlib]

33. I love a good grilled cheese with one major caveat

That caveat is that American Cheese is evil. It is barely even cheese. It most closely resembles cheese flavored jello.

Give me a good cheddar, swiss, jack, gouda or just about anything else and it is awesome.

Soapbox off

[debm55]

35. Agree--I go with the cheddar

[GP6971]

91. I go with a cheddar/swiss mix very thinly sliced

and alternate the two as I stack the sandwich.

[debm55]

92. That's something to try. Ty GP6971

[MOMFUDSKI]

42. I make my grilled cheese sammy

with sharp cheddar and mozzarella. You get the best of both.

[debm55]

55. I use the cheddar. So much tastier then American cheese.

[bluescribbler]

57. American cheese

is an ethnic slur.

[debm55]

64. HAHAHAHAHA

[patphil]

36. Roast Beef on white or rye, with creamy chipolte dressing and picante provalone.

[debm55]

41. I like the tang with the chipolite dressing. Sounds great.

[Buzz cook]

37. No one favorite

Do like a patty melt on heavy multi grain, sub sharp chedder for the swiss, grill the onions dark, add mushrooms and tabasco.

[debm55]

39. Buzz cook, your patty melt sounds great. TY

[MOMFUDSKI]

38. Anything on a croissant fresh from the oven.

Also pumpernickel with horseradish, sliced chicken breast, mozzarella cheese put under the broiler until the cheese is getting quite brown and crispy.

[debm55]

40. Oh my that sounds great!

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

45. A tie between...

Reuben and Turkey club.

[debm55]

47. Yum both are great. TY

[bamagal62]

46. BLT with avocado OR

A homemade pimento cheese. both with plain potato chips. Yum!

[debm55]

48. Yum and chips are a must have! TY

[ironflange]

50. My top five

1. Reuben
2. Reuben
3. Reuben
4. Reuben
5. Turkey Club

[debm55]

54. That's funny.

[LightBright]

53. Corned beef on rye. Swiss cheese and spicy mustard. NT

[debm55]

56. Wow, that sounds great and the spicy mustard adds the thing. TY

[moniss]

58. I'll have to admit it's a three way tie

for me. I love a breaded pork cutlet on a roll with ketchup or pork gravy. That ties with braunschweiger (liver sausage) spread on seeded rye with raw onions. They both tie with a fresh Polish sausage (mustard seed inside) on a Kaiser bun with ketchup and raw onions. A good Philly beef-steak is close to being in the mix as well as a sandwich on Amish white bread with sharp Lebanon Bologna, provolone cheese, raw onions and mustard.

[debm55]

70. Boy, I haven't had a Braunschweiger sandwich in forever. All your sandwiches are great. TY

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

59. Got a few

Cuban, muffuletta, and a fried shrimp po-boy are probably my favorites. But none are quick and easy to make on the fly. Outside of those, a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich is probably my favorite every day sandwich. Or a turkey, bacon, lettuce, and tomato.

[debm55]

65. LOVE fried shrimp po-boy. Have you ever tried a lobster roll?

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

69. oof, i forgot about lobster rolls....

I love lobster rolls. Doesn't matter if its Maine or Connecticut style, love them both! Love seafood in general lol.

[debm55]

72. I like the Maine.

[doc03]

60. Rueben nt

[debm55]

66. Yep, me too

[Kali]

62. good cheeseburger

also BLT, Turkey and green chile and cheese, tuna salad, egg salad on soft white bread, fried ham and mustard, toasted cheese for sure. good sub or grinder, meat ball, sausage.

NOT peanut butter and nothing with sauerkraut.

[debm55]

67. Oh Kali, your choices make my mouth water. YUMMY

[Captain Zero]

63. I'm partial to a good Salmon BLT

The best ones were in Portland OR when I visited my daughter, but some places around here have good ones. There's a salmon farming project in Muncie, IN.
Tank salmon. I suspect some of the salmon in Indy comes from there.

I'm not sure yet that tank farming salmon is a good thing.

[debm55]

68. Do you notice a difference in the taste of the tank salmon and fresh salmon? You are the first to bring up a salmon BLT.

[Captain Zero]

71. the thing is I don't know for sure what would be tank salmon here because

as I understand it that restaurants (here anyway) are not required to disclose it.
I only get them at restaurants.

So, I can't really tell any differences at this point if it is the tank salmon.
I guess when I get it I could ask the server, see if anyone in the place knows.

I guess tank salmon from the Muncie operation is GMO and all the salmon are females. Have to see how it plays out. There were some concerns in a few articles here. But that was more with the wastewater from the operations as it does get discharged to the local sewage treatment up there.

As I understand it if it is sold in store/grocery it has to be labelled as GMO.

[debm55]

75. Thanks , that is very interesting that restaurants do not have to disclose. Perhaps they want to pass it off as fresh

water and charge a higher price?

[Emile]

73. Cheeseburger or Grilled Tenderloin

[debm55]

87. Great choices, Emile. With all the fixin's?

[LakeArenal]

74. My favorite sandwich needs to be on very fresh Italian bread not toasted.

Probably with iceberg lettuce, Mayo and maybe cheese, avocado or tomato.

What the filling is has to be fresh and plentiful.

In Costa Rica, a burger comes with a burger, ham, cheese, onions, bacon, an olive, cucumber, tomato, Mayo and ketchup.
Crazy.

[debm55]

88. Gee, that is different, but I bet it's good. TY

[Danascot]

77. I just recently posted a recipe for Russian Dressing

that I make for my Rubens.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1157134468

[debm55]

90. It looks great. I am going to give it a try. Ty for sharing with us.

[claudette]

79. Definitely egg salad

especially with celery - on white bread or Italian roll. Took it for lunch today every day when I was in high school. And still love it today!!😊

[debm55]

84. YES, with a tomato slice on mine. TY

[claudette]

99. Yep!!

That too!!! 👍😊

[3catwoman3]

111. When I was in grade school, in the late 19502, my mom...

…was a working mom. In the interest of efficiency and decreasing morning chaos, we would make 5 days’ worth of sandwiches every Sunday evening and freeze them. Pop one in the lunchbox in the morning and they would thaw by lunch time.

Egg salad on white bread does NOT freeze or thaw well - makes a big soggy mess. To this day, I cannot eat an egg salad sandwich.

Deviled eggs are just fine - love ‘em.

[claudette]

112. Guess

egg salad wouldn’t freeze well. Yuck LOL

[japple]

80. Leftover meatloaf on whole grain bread with ketchup on one side

and mustard on the other.

[debm55]

89. Sounds very good. TY japple.

[MichMan]

104. The best, but no ketchup, just mustard

[c-rational]

81. OK Growing up it had to be a bacon sandwich.

Per Mom
Two slices of Arnolds white bread well toasted
Light margarine spread-the yellow one
One half is spread with grape jelly, and the other half get chili sauce
Spread 3-4 crisp bacon slices on, fold and cut.

Note, it has been a while since I ate meat, but mon did make a great sandwich.

[debm55]

93. Sounds great and I love how it brings back memories of your mom. TY

[randr]

82. Grilled cheese with tomato, onion, red pepper, and bacon

My mother called it a "go to hell sandwich".

[debm55]

94. That is funny. Never had with red pepper. Might give it a try. TY

[randr]

148. Also good with jalapenos

[FloridaBlues]

85. BLT my favorite

[debm55]

95. A BLT is the best--right next to my grilled cheese. I love them both. TY

[chouchou]

98. I agree

The BLT is one step below a God.

[BOSSHOG]

100. MUFFALETTA

It’s an acquired taste which I acquired in New Orleans.

Large round loaf, salami, mortadella, mozzarella, provolone, creole olive salad.

Hot or cold.

If Ya don’t like olives, forget it.

I’ve yet to master the original but it’s worth a shot. Central Grocery in New Orleans.

[debm55]

105. I had one and it was delicious Agree with you,

[BOSSHOG]

108. We're old and slow

And don’t get out much, but I’d damn near jump on a plane to New Orleans, go to Decatur Street and chow down on a MUFFALETTA. Good stuff Deb

But I repeat myself, if ya don’t like olives, forget it.

[MichMan]

102. Cold meatloaf with yellow mustard

Close second is a traditional Corned Beef Rueban with sauerkraut. Pastrami is also OK.

[debm55]

106. TY MichMan

[duckworth969]

103. Reuben

[debm55]

107. A very close second to my grilled cheese, TY

[Different Drummer]

109. Ham and Swiss on rye.

Yum!

[debm55]

110. Different Drummer, do you a condiment on it?

[Different Drummer]

135. Always mustard.

I never use the abomination that I consider mayonnaise to be.

[Axelrods_Typewriter]

113. An italian sub.

Longest one ya got. Untoasted. Dip it in the jug of italian dressing. Lay down the mayonnaise like you're doing tile work.

[debm55]

115. That is so funny. And welcome to DU.

[Axelrods_Typewriter]

116. Thanks Deb

I'm actually coming back after a few months of not being on. Life just loves to get in the way of things doesn't it?

[NNadir]

114. Swiss cheese on wheat with tomatoes mayo and cherry peppers, bean sprouts if available.

[debm55]

117. I been having a hard time bean sprouts too. ty for your sandwich. It sounds very tasty.

[YoshidaYui]

119. Vietnamese chicken banh mi sandwich

A homemade version of the ever so popular Banh Mi sandwich! This Vietnamese chicken sandwich is stuffed with tender sliced chicken, pickled carrots and daikon radish, cucumbers, and topped with sliced jalapeños, and cilantro. It is to DIE for!

[debm55]

124. I have never had one, but it sounds great. TY

[DBoon]

155. me too

though I order mine to-go from Bahn Oui https://www.banhoui.com/

[yellowdogintexas]

120. Didn't even have to think twice: BLT!!! There are other great sandwiches but that is the best

other favorites:; Ham & cheese on rye
Reuben; chicken salad, peanut butter and banana
Popeye's Spicy Chicken Sandwich

[debm55]

125. Oh, thank you for the delicious choices

[electric_blue68]

121. 1 cold, 1 hot...

For hot > grilled cheese! 💗
White, or pumpernickle bread either extra sharp cheddar, or swiss, a touch of mayo, a bit of garlic powder, thin sliced tomatoes.

For cold:
Love provolone 💗 cheese so - Italian bread, or kaiser roll, mayo, garlic powder, sliced tomatoes, romaine lettuce.

ETA:
I can't believe I didn't think of a hamburger on a bun as a sandwich! 😄😄
Definitely well done hamburger on a bun, salt & pepper, with mayo, thin raw red onion slices, tomato slice(s), romaine lettuce!

And TBLT would be my favorite mixed (hot/cold) sandwich.

[debm55]

126. Sounds great--all of them. TY

[ificandream]

122. Something my mom used to occasionally make -- baked eggplant covered in tomato sauce and ham.

I didn't care if there was cheese on the eggplant. I just loved the taste of the baked eggplant. I don't know what the inspiration for the ham was, but it really clicked with me.

[debm55]

127. I love baked eggplant, Never had on a sandwich, but it sounds great

[MenloParque]

128. My go to is fresh baked Baguette with Brie and butter. Simple basic and delish. Not a fan of american sandwiches

Loaded up with sugary preservative filled condiments.

[debm55]

130. Sounds great. TY for your sandwich. It sounds simple to make too.

[Jrose]

129. Turkey, Provolone cheese, Romaine lettuce, tomato, oil+vinegar...

...on toasty multigrain bread.

Ok, gotta go, I'm getting so hungry!

[debm55]

132. Very tasty. Enjoy eating it. TY

[justaprogressive]

131. I make a killer submarine sandwich of my own recipe...

It's tuna but I treat it like smoked salmon by using a Parisian baguette and spreading top and bottom
with a total of 8oz of cream cheese...Everyone I've ever fixed it for loved it.

The other ingredients are:


5 cans of 5.5oz tuna (Market Basket sells the best canned tuna on the market!)
1 large onion diced In tuna mix
~1/2 qt Hellmans Mayonnaise (mix)
Juice of 1 lime (mix)
2 Tbsp Oregano (mix)
4 cloves of garlic minced (mix)
2 Tomatoes (heirloom or hydroponic) sliced
1 Pkg Jonathan's alfalfa sprouts
2 Tbsp B&G Sandwich Toppers (Italian hot peppers about the same heat as a jalapeno)

Here's a shot of 1/3 of the sub

[debm55]

136. I saved the recipe. TY

[justaprogressive]

143. Aww thanks

So just in terms of fixing it.. I make a log shape on the bottom half with the tuna mix,

and make a channel for the hot peppers along the top of the tuna log....

The bread type is REALLY important. Regular sub bead will make it a 6 of 10

a baguette (flaky crust, super soft melt-in-your-mouth interior) brings it to a 9+

Let me know

[WestMichRad]

133. When you fold your pizza crust over the top...

… of the slice, does that count as a sandwich?

[debm55]

134. I would think so--a pizza sandwich. I do the same. HAHA

[beemerphill]

137. My Favorite

Deli Swirl Rye or Light Jewish Rye (No Seeds) with smooth peanut butter and dill pickle chips covered with a light layer of ketchup.
A couple of these is a fine lunch or snack.

[debm55]

138. Wow, that is very different.But mine is different too. We all have our own tastes.

[OldBaldy1701E]

139. BLT. Nuff said! (n/t)

[debm55]

140. OldBaldy1701E, BLT it is.

[Talitha]

141. Cold sandwich: Philadelphia cream cheese on an onion bagel.

Hot sandwich: Reuben.

P.S.
(we need a drooling emoji)

[debm55]

142. Same here! love the Everything bagel with the soft cream cheese and the Rueben. HEAVEN.

[Talitha]

144. The bagel was my favorite Friday feast as a 'good Catholic' child.

My family didn't eat meat on Friday - although they always had fish, which is something I'll never understand. What are fish, then - vegetables?


Anyway, since I hated fish, Mom let me choose my own meal. Philly on an onion bagel was my favorite but if we were all out, I'd have a can of Chef-Boyardee macaroni in Alfredo sauce.

Have a great weekend!

[debm55]

147. Same here fish sticks, fish sandwiches, or tuna pot pie.

It would rotate , but it was meatless Friday, even after they changed the rules.

[Talitha]

156. TBH that doesn't sound too bad - my Dad went fishing a lot though, so that's what was served.

And once in a while he'd buy Smoked Chub - it smelled wonderful but was greasy as heck and laid on the plates looking at everyone.

[debm55]

157. I don't think I could eat something looking at me. We had the processed stuff.

[a kennedy]

145. Mine is bacon, spinach and tomato on marble rye, even toasted is to die for.

[debm55]

146. Yummy. TY

[ProfessorGAC]

149. Reuben, Monte Cristo, Or Club

Give me any of those three, pretty much any time.

[debm55]

150. Oh a Monte Cristo. Yummy

[stonecutter357]

151. 100% muffuletta !

[Lunabell]

152. French dip and BLT.

Both have to be done a certain way. Lots of cheese on the french dip, a crispy toasting if the sub roll and a really good au jus. Some caramelized onions makes it perfect!

The BLT on white bread toast, a good mayo (helman's or duke's and a lot of it) a thick slice of either vineripe heirloom or beefsteak tomato and bacon that is crisp. And a sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper on the tomato.

[MiHale]

153. My every day breakfast sandwich...

Whole wheat bread, 4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter, fresh fruit. One of these fruits…Grapes or banana slices, berries of all types, cranberries…so it varies.

[DBoon]

154. fried chicken vietnamese bahn mi sandwich

[debm55]

159. Sounds great. Ty

[dclarston13]

158. Liverwurst with sharp cheddar and Mayo

Yum Yum

[debm55]

160. Sounds wonderful with the sharp cheddar. TY
