What is the Best Sandwich?
Nodaisho:
I think I'm going to have to go to one of the sandwich places around here as soon as I can, this topic is making my mouth water. I love the grilled sandwiches some places have, not all sandwiches would be good grilled, but some of them just become even more juicy and delicious.

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.

I combat this by using lardons, it's what we have on the line at work so I just steal a couple off. Also, the thing that really makes this sandwich is the roasted garlic. We did this with sliced steak the other night and once again, roasted garlic made it.
Also, Make Crostini, spread roasted garlic, put on anchovie, parmesan flake. Great little bite.

By grilled sandwich I take it you mean toasties? My local does a pretty damn nice bacon and stilton toastie, apart from that I'm not really adventurous.
@AlexC: I am fairly sure it's not a regional thing. It's more to do with the fact that anything which distinctly tastes or smells of vinegar at all makes me feel ill. This isn't an allergy thing, I'm perfectly ok with vinegar in, for example, chinese sauces where the flavour is all masked. It's probably related to some childhood trauma or illness, I dunno. But vinegar, mayonnaise, ketchup, salad dressings, any sort of pickle, sushi (with the rice) etc. are all absolutely off limits to me, to the extent where I can find it hard to eat my own food if someone near me is eating, say, a ploughmans lunch.
Nodaisho:
I have never been to the other side of the atlantic, so I can't be sure, but it sounds like mayonnaise really does smell different over there. The jar in my fridge doesn't smell at all like vinegar, at least. A little goes a long way, though.
Toastie? I've got no idea, that might be the same sort of thing, stripped of the silly slang.

Sorry milud, a 'toasted sandwich'.
