Butter is so underrated on sandwiches. Mayonnaise is tricky because you have to have just the right amount. If it's too little or too much it ruins the whole thing.Crowbar wrote:I'd rather have mayonnaise. Or just more butter.

Re: Sandwich porn
Yesterday''s cold lunch were two short onion induced baguettes, halved and filled with genuine karst proscuitto (seriously they packed a LOT of the stuff in it) and rather anonymous white cheddar that probably originated from somewhere in central Europe (...perhaps...it did possess some sort of personality once, but by the time these medieval sandwiches reached my mouth, the subtle flavor had been completely dissolved in the woodlandish odor of all the accompanying aforementioned densely packed smoked ham ... not to mention onions).
...what? Those baguettes cost me 0.98 € each. That's like a quarter of a pizza slice, and even somewhat classy to boot. See, they sell these wonderful, pre-made ... randomly generated sandwiches every day down my local store at work, so I get to choose from all kinds of different stuff every time; they're made from unsold leftovers from the delicacy corner, but between this, the local burgery, local fiercely smelling dead fish bakery, McWhoGivesAFuck around the corner and the Arabian looking dude cutting oily kebaps and bureks across the street ... I choose the random sandwiches increasingly often, because their taste is different every time, and so far it's all been good (...well, except for the, um, one with the smoked beef tongue. That didn't bode well, at all.)
...I haven't mentioned the local actual sandwich store because all of their -freshly crafted by magic mice at sunrise, with lettuce, tomatoes, mozzarella and chicken all thoroughly washed in morning dew by a myriad of highly skilled tiny rodent frontal limbs, I suspect- sandwiches there usually get sold out by the time I get around to lunch ... yet they always have plenty of pizza slices to sell, since those happen to taste rather horribly. Gah.

Today, I had a wet and wonderful pulled pork sandwich. The juice spilled right out with each bite, soaking the burger bun through and puddling on my plate all over the generous helping of kettle chips. A little coleslaw to refresh the palate and a delicious, full-bodied oatmeal stout to round it off. Perfect.

Re: Sandwich porn
Sadly due to a salt restricted diet, my sandwich consumption is severely limited as lunch meat (and everything else) is very high in salt when you are on a 2000 mg a day restriction, that being said when I do damn the torpedoes I love a good Reuben, and I have an addiction to pickled banana and or jalapenos peppers. In fact my sandwiches for the most part would likely be considered an abomination, as I will gladly layer cheese (preferably the sharpest cheddar I can find) whatever lunch meat I can lay hands on (bologna not so much) and a combination of lettuce, mayonnaise, the higher the quality of mustard the better and peppers if I have them all on pumpernickel or homemade salt-less bread. Pastrami, salami or homemade roast beef are my favorites as far as meat goes, and though super sharp cheddar is my favorite I love a wide variety of cheeses (sharp provolone is also very good).
Hamburgers are a on a whole other level, a perfectly grilled patty betwixt a high grade roll, dill pickle, mustard, romaine lettuce, tomato, maybe some good cheese, whatever else depending..... I would kill people for a good burger. I even expanded my horizons recently and had a lamb burger, fresh ground lamb patty, goat cheese, and a mini greek salad on top in a lightly toasted bun, hee hee that was good.
And for anyone with wheat allergies, I know some people who are celiac, and if you are not opposed to making it yourself they have discovered how to make gluten free bread that is nearly the same taste and texture as regular bread (I think), if you are interested PM me and I will try to get the recipe to you.

Re: Sandwich porn
I have three types of sandwiches.
Bought sandwiches, that would be Subway (which I love) and other sandwich places, there are some pretty good fancy places around here.
Recipe sandwiches. Those are the regular ones. It's ham, cheese, butter, lettuce, tomato (the trick is putting the tomato between the meat and the lettuce, that way it doesn't touch the bread, so it doesn't get wet), and any condiment or sauce that I can find. If I can get my hands in some other kind of meat like roast beef, salami, turkey, maybe some chicken with mayo, and some fancy cheese, they are easily added in the mix.
Improv sandwiches. A friend of mine saw me doing one of these and said I had the spirit of a fat person. Well. It's pretty simple. I get whatever leftovers I have from lunch and throw it inside some white bread with whatever fancy condiment I have (I never liked ketchup). Some pretty good stuff come out of it.
The other day me and my gf made some extravagant hot dogs with some fancy expensive mustard. It was worth every cent.
Damn, now I want a sandwich.

Re: Sandwich porn
Quizno's > Jimmy John's > Subway
Only recently has Quizno's been cutting back on how much they stuff their subs. They used to be well overflowing. Their combinations of toppings are so flavorful (apparently that's a word). The honey mustard chicken sandwhich is a favorite of mine.
Subway's bread and toppings always feel a bit stale and don't even ask me if I want my bread further ruined by toasting it.
Jimmy John's is the most consistent of the bunch and always leaves me with a feeling of wanting more.

Re: Sandwich porn
Toasting is always necessary for a hot sandwich, especially if there's sauce or grease involved -- don't want your bread getting soggy.

Re: Sandwich porn
Toasting is also a frugal solution for stale bread, which I find myself stuck with quite often.
Also, I support the exclusion of raw tomatoes from sandwiches and indeed the entirety of the food spectrum. Likewise for Mexican cuisine.

Re: Sandwich porn
I have to mention this dastardly concoction which is criminally underrated; peanut butter and bacon sandwich. It really sounds like it shouldn't work, but if anything, it works a little too well.
Just make sure you toast the bread and the bacon's still nice and hot.

Re: Sandwich porn
I found peanut butter and Cheetos (the weird misshapen kind, not the curly ones) works surprisingly well, myself, although not in the context of sandwiches. I wonder if a peanut butter, bacon and Cheeto sandwich would, therefore, be the perfect sandwich? (Probably not.)

How do you write on about sammiches but neglect the all-important soup. There's your lack of moisture. Gimme a nice tomato soup with a grilled cheese. MmmMmm.

Re: Sandwich porn
Related to food? I recently stopped eating carrots and my beloved potatoes and any other root vegetables because they're completely pulled out of the ground when harvested and thus the entire plant is killed in the process.
Does anyone know a good alternate source for carbohydrates?

Poor carrots must be murdered completely to consume, but potatoes can always be planted back to live another year. Both sunflower potatoes and sweet potatoes can, and that fake Solanum potato pales in comparison to both of them in my opinion.Related to food?

I knew a guy who used to get really drunk at parties before telling everyone he's a vegetarian because he likes to kill things with his teeth and stomach acids. Myself, I'm becoming increasingly concerned with the amount of unborn life that needed to die for my loaf of bread. Yet one needs to eat, no matter what. :(

...so I went to check, a no-kill source of carbohydrates would be the carob.
...the menstrual blood could be imitated utilizing fresh berries of phytoll- gah, I'm going off topic again.
...so, lemme just kind of report my latest sandwich featured incredibly greasy grilled ground beef-pork steak filled (yes, it was halved and filled) with -the travesty- smoked cheese and carst prosciutto...among choice other meats and some extra lettuce to get a kill on. (All wrapped in a bun composed of ground dead angiosperm youngsters, of course.)
I'm not much of a man in a horizontal sense, but that "sandwich" almost gave me a heart attack.
