Sandwiches

[sfer]

Those sandwiches are heavenly.

Do hamburgers and hotdogs count as sandwiches or are they disqualified simply because the meat has been heated?

Oh. In that case the best-ever sandwich is made by picking a ripe Tuscan tomato from the vine, slicing it into four pieces, and then placing the slices onto a freshly baked baguette.

From this point on it gets a bit idiosynchratic. Personally I like chopping a slice of red onion over the tomato, drizzling some olive oil on top and then giving it a generous grinding of fresh black pepper.

My wife on the other hand won't eat this sandwich without mayonaise (she's American).

Regardless, it is best when washed down with a white Montecarlo or Galestro though I choose those simply because it's best to drink wine which is from the region of your produce. As I doubt many of you vacation or live in Italy or by great good luck happen to have a Tuscan white in the old cellar do feel free to substitute with any dry white which may be available. It goes well with a cold lager too.

Or as my late Italian grandmother used to say sangwich.

Just had a sandwich recently at my local lunch stop that I had never heard of before and was excellent. It was a chicken salad BLT. It was your standard chicken salad sandwich with of course bacon lettuce and tomato.

I now ask for it even when they don't have it as the special because it was so good.

If you could start this trend, Dynasty... maybe you can help pull the Wonder Bread makers out of bankruptcy.

Someone before me mentioned something about peanut butter on some sort of whole grain or multisomething bread.

Well, I like to eat peanut butter and honey sandwiches on whole wheat bread. I do not think this is a mistake, but actually very tasty. I survived between the ages of 8 and 15 largely on these sandwiches.

However there is also an amazing French restaurant in West Stockbridge, MA, called Rouge, where, aside from your rather typical twenty-to-thirty-dollar-entree elite cuisine (very good) they have a bar menu with these enormous sandwiches for 8 bucks or so, and they come with the best 'pommes frites' this world has ever seen. Each batch fried in fresh olive oil and seasoned brilliantly. The sandwiches include a steak sandwich with jack cheese, lettuce, onions and tomatoes, or a pulled-pork and jalapeno pepper concoction that makes me moist just to imagine it. Yeah, I guess you might call it cheating cause the meat is 'heated,' but if you're talking about sandwiches as hearty, tasty food priced well below what a meal of similar quality might be, these fit the bill.
