My favourite sandwich has gotta be mayo chicken in a bagel with crunchy lettuce, satisfying in both taste and the crunchy texture of chopped iceberg lettuce from the shops.
Another one would be sausage and egg with some cheeky brown sauce (British lemmy users know what I mean)
What is YOUR favourite sandwich? Fillings or sauces to go with it, maybe your favourite type of bread?
2 weeks ago I said this when someone else asked;
Baguette from our local bakery in Schinnen, they do the original French method. Tick sliced tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, home made mayo (whisked, no stickblender stuff), salt and pepper. Delicious.
Why does a whisk work better than a stick blender?
Better aeration, leading to a fluffier, though not overbeaten, final result.
A cheese sandwich. Buttered white bread, a thick slice of salty cheddar, and a layer of English mustard. No nonsense.
BLAT. Bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato. Best with a hearty or sweet bread type. My preferred is sweet rye. No condiments needed…just spread the avocado for the texture and added flavor. Husband prefers the bread toasted, but I like it pan fried in butter.
Make the avocado into guacamole and you can have an LGBT sandwich
There’s a cafe near me that does a BLAT/americano combo lunch and it’s so good.
Chicken shawarma. Simply delicious.
Jambon-Beurre!! With some freshly baked warm Ciabatta-esque bread 😍
A nice stack of thinly sliced ham, provolone cheese melted within and on top, a nice warm sourdough or potato bread, some mayo and mustard.
I don’t know what switch flipped in my head as I got older, but a nice hot ham and cheese has become the occasional simple pleasure like no other.
Tomato sandwich, it sounds simple but it kicks fucking ass. This sandwich lives or dies on having good flavorful tomatoes so its only for in-season times of year.
You want to make it with plain white sandwich bread - toast it lightly. Apply a light layer of real (not miracle whip) mayonnaise - preferably full fat. Then slice a beefsteak tomato into slices that let you retain all the guts of the tomato but are otherwise relatively thin. Make sure to cut out the stem joint (I usually do this after slicing because it’s easier). Assemble your sandwich with a reasonable amount of tomato but as you put slices on salt your tomato. A modest size tomato is usually large enough to make 2-3 sandwiches.
Enjoy a fucking treat!
Hell yeah, though I prefer untoasted multigrain - also some cracked black pepper, maybe a little parsley or chives.
Lightly toasted potato bread, mayonnaise, salted Jersey tomatoes, fresh dill. ❤️
Ploughman’s, easily. Thick slices of sharp cheddar, a tangy onion chutney, thin slices of apple, and some greens. More properly a ploughman’s lunch that is not in sandwich form, but it comes with bread anyway so literally the only difference is how you arrange the components
Also if there’s banh mi on offer I might just about bite your hand off to get at it
Tomatoe sandwich with humus and hot sauce.
Pastrami and swiss on rye. Mayo and spicy mustard.
Muffaletta is a very close runner up.
Gotta second the pastrami and swiss on rye. Especially with a good dark rye.
The black rye Schlotzkie’s used to use for this sandwich was so good.
Scrambled eggs with onion and chives on butter and rye bread
Reuben panini
Hate every ingredient on the sandwich by itself. Divine together.
The best sandwich I ever had was a panini I randomly threw together for a snack at three in the morning. The next day I went to make it again since it was so delicious, but realized I’d forgotten some of the ingredients I used. I was in the middle of a sandwich-making phase at the time so I had like a dozen types of bread, meat, and cheese to pick from.
This was a decade ago and I’ve never been able to recreate that perfect sandwich despite several attempts. It’s my culinary white whale. The only ingredients I am sure of are the spread (light mayo in one side, applewood-smoked bacon mustard on the other) and the meat (honey-smoked turkey), and that it was only a simple meat-and-cheese. The bread and cheese continue to elude me.
Nothing beats an El Cubano on good sourdough with a dark cherry soda.
Right now its the second sandwich in This video. I’ve made it at least a dozen times in the past month or two. Avocado and blk olives + humus + roasted red pepper/onion/zucchini + balsamic vinegar glaze(I do extra of this)
