To make the ideal sandwich, first you have to have a roast dinner. Then the next day you make a leftover sandwich from the roast dinner leftovers. Preferred is lamb w/ roast potato, gravy, mint jelly, or beef w/ roast potato, mustard, gravy.

I think I'm going to go make a semi-dried tomato, chicken, and cheese sandwich from scratch.

First I must create the universe.

Right now I am amusing myself with thoughts of the Count of Monte Cristo tucking into a nice Sandwich of Monte Cristo. I mean even revenge has its down-time and scheduled meal breaks.

Dudes seriously David Dovey is right. Have you ever tried a Monte Christo? Thing is dough-encrusted orgasm. I have willingly gone to Greeley, Colorado to eat Monte Christos and Greeley is right on top of the mouth of hell. Also: Jamaican jerk cheese steak.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #64 on:** 22 Mar 2010, 21:11 »

Is it called the Monte Cristo because it waits in the darkest reaches of your body for twenty years then comes back and kills you?

Inlander · « **Reply #65 on:** 22 Mar 2010, 21:32 »

Also because it's not what it claims to be.

It's actually just a tuna sub you bought at the supermarket when you were drunk and then forgot about til the next day.

The New Mexican variant involves a whole green chile, thick turkey breast, and layers of ham and swiss.

So deadly.

Maybe the best sandwich is one that doesn't cause you to asphyxiate while eating it because you decided to go have a picnic on the moon.

Obviously you are in a moonbase, maybe all shielded from radiation but there's a big quartz window and you watch the earth rise whilst you eat your sandwich and maybe listen to some nice music.

Then moon blowjobs.

Today, I made an asiago cheese focaccia. After cooling for a bit, I had a salami sandwich on the bread.

I've come to the decision that really the bread needs to be fresh baked, and that is all that is really required for the best sandwich.

Technically they're sammiches, after all.

They're just sammiches what have undergone a process.

What is a jaffle I do not know what a jaffle is you need to a) describe a jaffle based on obvious macroscopic qualities and the essential elements, macro or minor b) argue why a jaffle makes the best sandwich c) make me a milkshake I am thirsty and they are delicious.

Has anyone mentioned poboys yet? Those are damn fine sandwiches, and by damn fine I mean they are very large and often delicious

Inlander · « **Reply #85 on:** 27 Mar 2010, 18:38 »

Jimmy Slicko, a jaffle is basically just a funny name for a toasted sandwich.

Well technically it's a toasted sandwich made in a jaffle-maker (which is a lot like a waffle machine) which presses the sandwich together so that the two sliced of bread fuse, forming a toasted bread pocket with your choice of filling inside it.

Vegetarian sandwiches? Delicious ones? I am far too boring in my sandwich experiments.

Hummous and falafel is my preferred option. Make a sauce using some ketchup, chilli and mint sauce then add some lettuce, cucumber and strips of fresh pepper and use a baguette. That's all window dressing really though, the important thing is hummous and falafel. You can mess about on top all you like but that combo is almost impossible to screw up. I'm also a fan of Redwood Lincolnshire style sausages with some mashed avocado, lettuce, cucumber and tomato. Or just getting whatever salad fixings I have and sticking them in bread with a good amount of a nice dressing.

I have a friend who once went a three weeks eating only the same sandwich for every meal. She was in a competition with a friend to eat only one dish and to see who could go longer; he opted for barbecue chicken pizza, she did tomato, cucumber, spinach, mushrrom, and cheese, I think, on basic bread.
She made me one of the sandwiches for lunch one day and it was pretty good. Nothing amazing, but it had all the things you need in food and it wasn't the kind of thing you'd get terribly sick of.

I am presently prepping some things for what I hope will be an excellent sandwich tomorrow. It is just a shame I can not find any goddamn rye flour from a reliable source in this town. Sobey's has buckwheat and rice and bulgar, but no rye. The health-place stocks organic things, but their cornmeal was rancid and they only have light rye flour so I am not going back there.
Still, I will make some good whole wheat bread for it at least.

I made a focaccia with gouda on top yesterday, it is tasty. And then I bought $13/lb roast beef, and some other nice cheese, and this german mustard, and some romaine. It was a fine sandwich.

That lettuce looks so deliciously crisp. It's a little difficult for me to make peace with the fact that I will never get to eat that sandwich because it is no longer extant.

Depending on circumstances:

Smoked Beef Brisket on rye with swiss cheese and mustard (preferably made at Nate's Deli here in Ottawa):
Shredded pork on kaiser;
Homemade burger with bluecheese, horseradish and dijon mustard. Mushrooms are an optional extra; or
peanut butter.

Yesterday I roasted red peppers and fried up some mushrooms and onions. I marinated those in oil & balsamic vinegar plus chopped parsley and crushed hot peppers, and then I started a sponge for my bread that I made today. No rye flour, but it was an overnight fermented buttermilk sponge so it was pretty good and smells great (a sponge is in it's simplest form water yeast and flour, which is nicer for yeast to take off in, and it's more convenient for aging overnight as it doesn't run the risk of rising so much that the yeast pushes all the food away from it).
On the bread went a small amount of mayo & mustard, sliced cheddar, shaved ham, and then both open-faced sandwiches were topped with the marinated veg.

It was pretty tasty! Peppers and onions were boss. Best sandwich: probably not.
Thoughts for next time: crush some mustard seed, add to the marinate, scrap the mustard on the bread. Also, the mushroom flavour was mostly lost beneath the balsamic vinegar, though the texture was nice.
Would it benefit from being on rye? Maybe. Probably.
Would there be a better cheese than cheddar? Swiss goes well with ham, but I think the gentle flavour of swiss would get lost beneath the balsamic.
Closed face? Definitely not. Those marinated veg look too good mounded up on top to hide them. I think the proportions of everything were right on where they should be.

Yess, finally someone outside of Scandinavia who doesn't think open faced sandwiches are a felony. Personally I think there's too much bread on a regular sandwich, unless you put so much stuff in it that it becomes hard to gape over it it, and then there's just too much of everything. Those look absolutely delicious!
