What is the Best Sandwich?
Alex C:
I'm not arrogant enough to think you'd like ours any better, but I do rather wonder if this is in part a regional/brand thing. I've heard before that the US tends to be a bit quicker to pasteurize the shit out of everything, after all. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm used to rather milder tasting and super processed examples. I know I've had homemade stuff before that I didn't like at all.

I used to think that kobe ground beef was stupid as hell, and then I got the Hawaiian burger from a local place and I'm pretty certain that it is my favorite burger ever. Kobe beef, with Canadian bacon, grilled pineapple, and swiss cheese, and a teriyaki sauce. http://www.subzerovodkabar.com/ So delicious. Also, uh I guess they are well known for sushi and vodka, but I wouldn't know anything about that.

This is all good stuff, keep it coming, keep it coming.
How about tuna fish? Immediate reaction is 'how the hell can canned tuna compete with prosciutto?' but take a second and imagine a nice light tuna salad with either some greens or small chunks of apple, put open-face on the perfect piece of white bread (crisp crusts, lovely crum, slightly stretchy but still soft and light), covered with cheddar and broiled. That is such a good sandwich. A tuna melt in the cafe by the river before the tourist season starts in a couple months? Brilliant.

I was unsure if roast beef was going to make it in here. It is really not as exciting as other meats but you're right, it takes way better to garlic (especially roasted garlic) than any other meat that comes to mind, and it manages to hold it's own when placed next to bacon.
Bacon, that is a funny thing. Bacon is delicious, yes, but I don't often put it in a sandwich. Bacon doesn't go as nicely with sauces as I'd wish, and I don't like bacon slices that get pulled right out when you try and take a bite, that's just annoying. I personally think it's essential to chop up the bacon before trying to put it in a sandwich to avoid it jumping ship too soon.
Not to hate too much, because your bacon roast-beef sounds pretty great there, I just haven't made it work as well as I'd like.
Lunchy what are the essential qualities of Turkish bread? I have never heard of Turkish bread before. I need to know what it is.
Which reminds me, vegemite! Vegemite is wonderful with a turkey sandwich. If all you've got is plain white bread, add some vegemite to get that nice rich yeasty flavour that you're missing.
Oh man I love sandwiches.
Inlander:
Turkish bread is pide.
It's not entirely dissimilar to naan.
Also one time a little while ago I went to my local organic green grocer/cafe just before they shut and I scored some free sandwiches that they hadn't managed to sell that day. They were just roasted vegetable and I thought "man that's gonna be really boring" but they were delicious. Probably because one of the vegetables was red capsicum which when you roast it is like a magic vegetable. Also I think there was some pesto in there, and some of the other vegetables were pumpkin and eggplant/aubergine and I think tomatoes. Oh and zucchini/courgette.
