Favorite Sandwiches

The Death of Bowie is sprouting out a lot of conversation :)

1. Jason's Deli - Ham Muffaletta

2. Schlotzkies - Original Ham (Black olives, cheddar cheese, melted onto a buttered and toasted sourdough loaf. )

3. Travel Sandwich. The white trashiness of my family shines through in me only in certain situations. This is one. My mother used to take white bread, Spam, Velveeta, and Hellman's Mayonaise and make up a bunch of sandwiches. We'd lead the sandwiches in the window on long trips across Texas to visit family and let the heat do it's thing. Melted velveeta, slowly dried Spam... man. It tastes like salt, pork, and cream. It doesn't taste the same when you just make the sandwich. It needs that time in the sun to get good.

1. south philly pork sandwich (long roll with slow roast pork, broccoli rabbe, long hots and aged, sharp provolone cheese... my favorite version is from Tony Luke's but there are a couple great steak shacks on 9th street that provide a great take on this under-the-radar philly treat)

2. a classic philly/south jersey style hoagie from any of our classic sandwich shops

3. philly cheese steak... I really like Tony Luke's in south philly best, but sometimes chinks in northeast philly with their softer roll and extra greasey beef is just as satisfying.... nothing beats Geno's at 2am though

4. gourmet 'sub' sandwiches of any variety from local chain Primo Hoagies

5. corned beef special or ruben, best in NYC but good locally from Himey's deli in the 'burbs

6. Carolina pulled pork sandwiches with all the fixin's, preferably eaten at a roadside shack in sout Carolina, but good ones can be found everywhere from southern Maryland to northern florida

7. Benito's burritos, Hollywood California.... especially their farmer's market veggie burrito!

It's uncultured, but in England we don't really have a sandwhich culture, but I really love a kind of full fried breakfast in a sandwich: i.e. sausages, fried eggs, black pudding, mushrooms, etc.

By the time I'm out of hospital I can have another one. Let the DJ Khaled memes begin!

1 and 2 sound bad-assed... if my grandmother had heard that my parents fed me a sandwich left out in the sun during a trip to visit her she woulda killed my mother and at least maimed my dad.... we did not risk food poisoning in my family. Then again, I never had velveeta or cheesewhiz until I had my 1st philly cheese steak and my mom was at great pains to point out that Kraft cheese in a jar is not actually cheese nor is it actually food. She was also warned me about fast food too, even though she let me eat it once in a while.... she was right about everything. And spam? Something you kept in the bomb shelter in case of nuclear holocaust. Even then you might prefer death to eating a spamburger...

I forgot to add Jason's Deli's Yankee. a crap ton of Corned Beef or Pastrami with the tiniest little pieces of rye bread and swiss holding the softball size mound of beef together.

I grew up eating egg sandwiches. We'd cook bacon or sausage in a cast iron skillet and then fry eggs over easy in the grease afterwards. Mayo, black pepper, the meats, and then a slice of cheese over the top. My Grandmother grew up dirt poor as a cotton picker in South Carolina and all her cuisine was lethal but tasted great. Chicken and Dumplings, Mustard Roast, Grits and Eggs. She had all the southern hits embedded in her brain.

Eh, I cook like that too. Its good for kids to eat fat

As duke said there ain't much of a sandwich thing over here other than subway and supermarket sandwiches. But me my favourite sandwiches are:

1. Ham, turkey, lettuce, gherkins and a ton a ranch dressing on white bread oh and cheddar, cant forget the cheddar!. I make them at home with like 8oz of ham and 8oz of turkey and about 4oz of cheddar them a chuck it under the grill and dig in haha.

2. Pastrami, English mustard, gherkins, mayo, cheese and more pastrami and chuck it under the grill.

3. Tune and cheese, so I do this is a baguette, I get 2 cans on tuna and mix with mayo and a ton of cheddar and put it in the baguette and eat it.

That's it really for me

explain English mustard please

Food and gear? I always go where the locals go and skip the chains. With that in mind, here's a breadslab behemeth worth seeking out when in SLC: the Muffaletta from Caputo's Deli is an assembly that John Montagu would marvel in. It stomps the olive salad out of those tepid muffs the city of New Orleans now churns out. So good! ~m
