Hey everyone,
After witnessing some tasty talk about sandwiches in another thread, I thought that maybe we could have an entire thread devoted to most everyone's favorite lunchtime delicacy: the sandwich!!! Please feel free to write anything you have to say about sandwiches, such as:
1. What kinds of bread do you prefer?
2. What kinds of meats, fillings, etc. do you like? Maybe you're a vegetarian and prefer a portabello mushroom cap as the main filling, etc.?
3. Which condiments are your "must-have's", and which ones... would you rather hurl at other people? (In a food fight, of course.)
4. What vegetables are yay's or nay's?
5. Any unique ingredients? (Like putting potato chips on your sandwich instead of on the side... etc.)
6. If anyone on CC would be willing to make you a sammich, who would you want as your Sandwich Chef and why?
Feel free to post pictures and recipes.
I myself love all kinds of sandwiches but some of my favorites include ham & cheese, grilled cheese (made on cheap 99-cents-a-loaf, no-nutritional-value-at-all white bread), roast beef with cheddar or muenster, Reubens, and, I personally count a cheeseburger as a sandwich.
I do not, however, like soggy sandwiches, and therefore, I eschew all sauces--no ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, or relish ever graces my sandwiches if I have the luxury of ordering or making them that way. I order the dressing that normally comes on a Reuben sandwich on the side and dip it in at my own leisure, rather than having it smeared all over. I do NOT like raw tomatoes AT ALL and always wind up giving them away if anyone tries to place them anywhere near my sandwich. Depending on the kind of sandwich, I prefer my lettuce to be shredded, and will even add alfalfa sprouts (I can hear all the gasps of, "Oh No! Seoul's gone crunchy!) for, yes, the crunchy texture.
Cheese is a necessity, and I like mozzarella, cheddar, muenster, and provolone but ONLY if it isn't smoked. For some reason I LOVE smoked meats but CAN'T STAND smoked cheeses.
If I could have anyone on CC make me a sammich, who would it be? There are several resident forum chefs/chef-esses I'd love to choose from, but I'd have to say that if Gypsygirl made me a sandwich, I'd know it was perfect (because she has an eye for detail) AND healthy.
I'm also thinking... that I would ask Pipp to make me a CAKE... that LOOKS like a sandwich, of course.
