Sandwich ?

My old roommate was a huge fan of grilled peanut butter and marshmallow sandwhiches. Often for breakfast.

I have a few favorite sandwhiches.
*bread (note: can be white, wheat, rye, sourdough, whatever, but it MUST be quality bread)
*fresh deli roast beef (lots of it.)
*miscellaneous other deli meats, if you have them. I enjoy salami.
*Muenster cheese
*leaf or romaine lettuce (note: Absolutely no bagged salad crap)
*thin sliced red onion
*thin sliced green pepper
*bananna pepper rings
*mayonaise to taste (thats mayo, not miracle whip)
*a little less mustard than mayo (French's sucks. But Plochmans for yellow, or, even better, gourmet non-yellow mustard.)
*salt & pepper
*bread

And my second favorite:
*lightly toasted sourdough
*tunafish (white, mixed with mayonaise and diced white onion and pickles.)
*leaf or romaine lettuce
*a bit of mustard
*salt and pepper

And, it's absolutely MANDATORY, no matter what sandwhich it is, that it is served with a large, cold dill pickle or two on the side. They provide excellent inter-sandwhich snacking breaks.

Yeah. I'm a man who loves his sandwhiches.
 
Back to the original topic, a Reuben with cole claw instead of kraut is actually called a Rachel...just in case any one wanted to get their deli trivia fix for the day.

And indeed...want to see a crazy sandwich?

^Carnegie Deli roast beef^ Worst $12 I ever spent.
 
Rye bread is crucial to a good Reuben. I prefer dark rye but Jewish rye will do in a pinch.

Jalapenoes actually make a nice addition to a Reuben.

I only sandwiches that I put slaw on are BBQ sandwiches, but I'm a card-carrying, Sweet Tea drinking, fulfill stereotype except the derogatory ones, southerner.

You, sir, have obviously not been to Zingerman's, which is a deli and is regarded as one of the best places to eat on the planet, no matter which report you are looking at!

I'm just saying, until you have tried it . . . :D


This may be true in some cases, but from my experience, I'll take the slaw on the side and slap the kraut on it. Slaw may work well in other hot sandwiches, but it doesn't for my Reubens.
 
My favorite:
Corned and roast beef
toasted Sourdough bread
dijon mustard (or some sort of spicy mustard)
lettuce
Provolone or Swiss cheese and lots of it

That's it. Usually I'll toast the whole thing when I get it together, just to give it some heat and to melt the cheese(s)

My ex used to eat bagels with mustard and pickles. Yeah she was a strange one..... :eyebrow:


Anybody get into peanut butter and banana sandwiches? I won't try one but everyone says they're so good. :ninja:

Peanut butter and banananananananana(that's an easy word to start writing, but a hard one to know when to stop.) is awesome. Or you can try the Presley variant, and grill the peanut butter and bananananana with bacon in there, too. 'The Kang' used to whale on those things. (I know that should have been 'wail' in stead of 'whale.' But, considering how big E'vil got in the last two or three years of his life, compared to previously, whale seemed appropriate.)
