Sandwiches
Sandwiches are good. I do not eat fast food, and I love sandwiches, so, as I said, sandwiches are good. I don't care about carbs.
Great sandwiches are even better, and I still do not care about carbs. Now, I'm not talking about that unbelievable brisket sandwich you get for $11.99 at the "NY-Style Deli" in whatever town you happen to reside. That's a different topic. I'm talking about a sandwich--bread, meat, condiments. Somewhere between $3.50 and $7.00, depending on the size. I have found that if you go to the local supermarket deli section and order an "Italian" or "The Supreme" or whatever, and you make sure to order it with the premium meat for the extra buck or whatever, you can get some kind of great freakin sandwich. Boar's Head seems to be pretty top-shelf. Lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo, and a little vinegar and oil. I like jalapenos, not banana peppers, but that's just a matter of taste. Green peppers and olives are not right on a sandwich of this kind. Subway foisted this fraud upon us. Olives should reside only in the muffaletta, and there, only in a sort of paste. Yes, I realize that one can purchase all of the ingredients necessary to produce the same product at a reduced price, but I don't care about that, because I am both lazy and wealthy, and do not care for such concerns. Anyway. Sandwiches are good.

Re: Sandwiches
Sandwiches are good. And the local deli usually gets it right. Almost all Fast food Sandwiches are mediocre or nothing special.
I still like homemade. The best is left over roast beef - Say from slow roasting a rump or chuck roast. The beef has aged a bit in juice with all the different flavors etc. Save a chunk for a sandwich. All you need is good bread, some butter, a little mustard, and thick slices of the beef. Have pickles on the side. Wash it down with your favorite beer. Sometimes simple is the best. -Zeno

Re: Sandwiches
This is the best I ever sandwiches that I ever had. Too bad they don't get a website and chain this place. Wally's "home of the hog" is the best. They name all of there Sandwiches after pigs. ie. porky, boss hog, oinker.
Best Deli WALLY'S DELI (711 N. 17th Street, Allentown, 435-7177; 1245 Chestnut St., Emmaus, 967-1347). Since 1990, owners Wally and Sue Roberts have been serving sandwiches so fresh and large their deli easily lives up to its nickname, the "Home of the Hog." The Super Hog, for instance, serves twelve. Another favorite is "Wally's Decker," with ham, turkey, bacon, and American cheese layered with multiple slices of bread. Wally's also serves hot foods like crabcakes and chicken or beef cheesesteaks. In the summertime, look for new daily salads and weekly sandwich specials.

Re: Sandwiches
[ QUOTE ]
I have to disagree with the green olives part...I love 'em on my Italian-style or turkey breast sandwich...chopped up, of course... very tasty. [/ QUOTE ] I want to discuss the fundamental differences between black and green olives. I noticed that green olives tend to add to the celebratory mood, whereas black olives are more demurr and professional. Black olives rarely get out of line, and are most often pitted. Green olives, go overboard, especially in martinis. This is just an observation, I am not an anti-olivite. Please, let's discuss.

Re: Sandwiches
My local deli makes this one:
Parmesean encrsted Chiabata bread 2 layers of thick cut Provalone 2 layers thin sliced Montreal-style smoked meat 2 layers spicy Italian salami 2 layers procuttio ham Spciy mustard to die for (they make it there), real butter, real mayo I have them put on a sliced pickle and sliced banana peppers. This is the reason I am fat and happy. Regards, Woodguy
