What's your Perfect Sandwich?

[Sugar Smack]

I update mine a couple of times a month. This is my perfect sandwich right now:

Sourdough bread, lightly grilled
Roasted turkey breast
Bacon
Avocado
Sprouts
Onion
Lettuce
Muenster Cheese
Thousand Island dressing
Cucumbers
And a small amount of mayo

When Mr Dunderbak's in Raleigh was open, I could still order that. :9

[azmouse]

1. I'm making this sandwich for dinner tonight

French baguette
hard salami
ham
cappocola
provolone cheese
Italian dressing
onions
tomatoes
lettuce
hot peppers

[Sugar Smack]

3. Oh, oh, oh!

That sounds delicious! I personally would leave off the hot peppers, but you sound like a gal who knows what she likes. :thumbsup: :hi:

[hippywife]

22. My favorite most of the time, too!

Nothing like a good Italian sub on good crisp bread! Yum! :9

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. There ain't no such thing.

But a pretty good one is

ham
dill havarti
lettuce
onion
on Focaccia

Paniniized. And if that's not a verb, it should be.

[Sugar Smack]

5. OMG, that sounds good.

How long has it been since you had one of those? I'm craving Havarti and Focaccia as we speak.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Awhile, actually.

Sometimes I make them in my Foreman. But they're just not as good as they make them down at the gelateria.

Oh, my other favorite is left-over turkey, cheddar, white bread, and yellow mustard. I don't get those very often either.

[Sugar Smack]

11. That other favorite sounds like a great midnight fridge raid.

It's been quite a while since I've done that!:-) I happen to have those ingredients in my fridge.

[ohiosmith]

4. My homemade slow cooked pulled pork on a grilled potato bun topped with

coleslaw.

[Sugar Smack]

9. How do you season it?

Western or Southern style? :toast:

[ohiosmith]

15. Western. Cattleman's barbecue sauce.

[zonkers]

21. How do you make the slow cooked port? I am a rookie but I would love

to learn how. Have you ever heard of a chinese box (caja china)?

[ohiosmith]

25. Pork loin (Costco has great ones) covered in barbecue sauce cooked

on low for three - four hours in a Crock Pot. Remove and thinly slice or pull apart. Return to cooker for 1 - 2 hours.

[PittPoliSci]

6. a Guinness

[Sugar Smack]

13. Yum. A food group

all by itself. :toast:

[trof]

7. turkey-bacon club

DRIPPING with mayo.
My guilty pleasure.

[Sugar Smack]

17. And the messier the tastier, don't you find?

My most memorable were those I wasn't capable of wrapping my mouth around. And you never had the same bite twice.

[mainegreen]

10. REAL Roast beef (ie freshly cut from an actual roasted roast of beef)...

Roasted Red Peppers and Bearnaise sauce on a fresh french baguette. It's called the Earl of Bearnaise and I'm going to Henry VIIIs tonight to get one too!

[Sugar Smack]

20. I know this sounds gross, but I love Bearnaise sauce so much

I tend to "overdo" it on anything I can. I can't help it! :P And on roast beef? *faints*

[mainegreen]

42. It is not possible to overdue Bearnaise sauce!

Mmmmmmmm. I just got back from eating my sandwich. It was amazing. Well worth fainting over!

[Sugar Smack]

48. Hey, no fair! I just picked myself off the floor. *faints again*

I'm happy for you, love! :bounce: :toast:

[GalleryGod]

12. Not eating bread makes it easy.

:rofl: :shrug: :rofl:

[Sugar Smack]

27. *snort* LOL! I'd take that tack too if I weren't using my imagination.

Usu. It's brown rice or tortillas for me, but I've rocketed off into fantasyland tonight. Do you at least have dreams about bread? :P

[johnnie]

14. Corned beef and swiss on rye with horseradish

Simple and good.

[Sugar Smack]

28. You're a spicy man, aren't you?

I used to hate horseradish with every fiber of my being, but I've recently acquired a taste for it. I take it as a sign of maturity. :rofl:

[swag]

16. This one. I think I'll have it tonight, in fact.

[Sugar Smack]

23. BEAUTIFUL.

:wow: I'm in love.

[swag]

18. Yours looks really good.

I appreciate the restraint with regard to the mayo.

[Sugar Smack]

32. Speaking with all practicality, the sprouts are there

to hold all the Thousand Island dressing in place in the sandwich.

[swag]

34. Was wondering why no pimiento cheese.

[Sugar Smack]

43. I'll just bet you were!!

I'll just bet! }(

[zonkers]

19. I am digging your sandwich. I put avo on everything, especially cheese

and tuna sammies.

[Sugar Smack]

29. That would make a great tuna salad sandwich.

I have got to try that. :wow:

[bicentennial_baby]

24. Kickass thread baby!

:bounce:

[Sugar Smack]

26. Foodbaby!!!!! FESS UP!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[bicentennial_baby]

30. It's really simple

Ham
Provolone
Maille Whole grain moutarde
A lil bit of mayo
Sea Salt
Black Pepper

:)

[Sugar Smack]

35. Perfection.

I'll bet you take really good care with the distribution of the contents, too. :loveya:

[bicentennial_baby]

51. awww, you....

and yes, i do :D

hey, phone time this weekend? it's the best time for me, with skool being in session and all...just gimme a day and time, and i'm there. :bounce:

:loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

56. Yessss! Please let's.

We'll work out the details. *oooo, squeeee!* :toast: :toast: :toast: :bounce:

[evlbstrd]

83. Isn't a foodbaby

something you sort of, uh, give "birth" to?

[Guava Jelly]

31. Does it have to be food??

:evilgrin:

[Sugar Smack]

33. Oh, you DAWG! You would!

:rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

36. Cathy Zeta Jones and the Queen of England!!

?? is that wrong?

[Deja Q]

38. Oi! At least I didn't say it!

And everyone in Heaven and Earth knows I wanted to...

[Sugar Smack]

45. You see?

You really should work on your sense of timing, right? :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Otherwise, I'd have expected it of you!

[Deja Q]

54. Well, this time I had my stamina - someone else got there prematurely!

:spray:

[Guava Jelly]

59. HEY!!!! I don't suffer from premature posting dysfunction.

Maybe I am just good :)

[Deja Q]

82. No, you're just quick to the draw.

:P

[Deja Q]

37. In terms of culinary delights,

whole wheat bread (or omelet egg made w/Egg Beaters)
grilled chicken breast strips (or imitation crabmeat -- pollock fish)
mushrooms
red peppers
spicy oriental seasoning
marble jack cheese
red onions


No liquid condiments; too much cholesterol...

:9

[Sugar Smack]

46. You are also a very spicy man.

I knew it!! Although I'd assumed the oriental seasoning was something you'd shake on from a bottle. Yum! :9

[Deja Q]

47. Awww

:) You are too sweet! :pals: :loveya:

It does get shaken from a bottle, the oriental spices... but, apart from the occasional pizza or jelly babies candy, I do eat very healthily. :9

[Sugar Smack]

60. I'm not at all sweet.

That was just another one of my knee-jerk reactions to your charms! :loveya:

But why are you killing jelly babies? Is that a colloquial thing?

[sendero]

39. A reuben..

... with pastrami and swiss, on rye, sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard. Grilled of course :)

[Guava Jelly]

40. That actually is my fav sandwich..

It's hard to find the perfect reubin..I had quite a few crappy ones.

[Sugar Smack]

49. *grrrr* Who thought up that combination? They should be working

for NASA. OMG!!!

[ACK]

41. Fried Shrimp Po Boy

Fried Shrimp Po’ Boy Recipe

1 10-12″ long piece of New Orleans Style French Bread
4 Tbsp Mayonnaise
3 Tbsp Creole Mustard (Zatarain’s makes a good widely available Creole Mustard. I actually like a nice roumalade as a substitute.)
Pickle Slices
3/4 Cup Shredded Lettuce
Tomato Slices (Optional)
Fried Shrimp for Filling

Ask me again I will tell you a muffaletta.

[Sugar Smack]

52. I was wondering if anyone'd say shrimp.

I happen to love a good fried shrimp sandwich. And I want to say thanks for the recipe; I think you've made some DUers very happy.

[flvegan]

44. Me, inbetween both

nah...nevermind.

[Sugar Smack]

55. Riiiiiight! If you can't tell us the..

never mind. :rofl: :yoiks:

[flvegan]

57. The

mods have me on double super secret probation. To have stated anyone...er, I mean anything further would have been not so DU rules friendly, being of a sexual nature. I'm a good boy.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

94. You? Double super secret probation? Never!

You're a good boy.

[SoCalDem]

50. The Dominic

two big pieces of sourdough

shaved ham
shaved turkey
swiss cheese
cheddar

butter the bread, layer the ingredients (butter side down in the pan :P..)

sprinkle the toasted side of the bread with a bit of garlic powder and grated parmesan..

when the cheese is all melted, carefully "open" the sandwich and put finely shredded lettuce and paper-thin tomato slices..
sprinkle with more parmesan just before serving..

[Sugar Smack]

62. Do you, or have you ever, worked as a chef?

You sound like a brain surgeon, actually. Geeze! :wow: :thumbsup: :D

[SoCalDem]

65. It's EASY to make.. did I make it sound difficult?

:eyes:

[Sugar Smack]

72. No, you made it sound very precise & successful & tasty.

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

[SoCalDem]

80. Like the old commerical said.. "Try it, you'll like it "

The sandwich originated with an old Italian guy whose family owned a bowling alley we used to bowl at,. They had a very good restaurant in it, and the partiarch, Dominic, took a liking to my boisterous boys.. (3 rowdy little rats, at that time).. he would always round them up ,and sneak them hot dogs & cokes after we said "no". (we ate before we went bowling, and they cost us a fortune in video-game money already, so we told them ONE coke and NO snacks)

anyway, old Dom would pull them aside and treat them to stuff from the kitchen..one night he went back and made them this sandwich..His version (piled pretty high , cut into three pieces, fed all of them with one sandwich :)

After that, they always would ask me to make them a Dominic..:)

It's a family favorite :)

[Sugar Smack]

81. That really sounds wonderful.

The ONLY thing I'd ever add to such a thing would be Italian seasoning. I really like to hear about people's versions of sandwiches, because they seem to be tailor-made.

I can just hear the kiddies saying, "Will you make me a Dominic?" :9 :D

[Benfea]

53. Boolgogi sub

• Sub roll
  
• Boolgogi meat cooked with white onions instead of green onions
  
• American cheese
  
• Lettuce
  
• Tomatoes
  
• Mayo

I first had this in a nasty little greasy spoon in the far north side of Chicago, and it knocked my socks off.

[Sugar Smack]

64. Oh, sometimes the best things are sprung on you out of nowhere.

I've had some really happy encounters with the unknown, admittedly at Quiznos. :9 :yoiks:

[Benfea]

67. You must, must, must try one of these sandwiches. -NT

[dolo amber]

75. I would eat the crap outta that

:o

[Sugar Smack]

76. YOU made me spray beer on my keyboard!

Damn you! :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl:

[begin_within]

58. Lebanese "wrap" made of flat bread, chicken breast cubes, garlic sauce,

those long, skinny pickle wedges, shredded lettuce, thin tomato slices, rolled up in the warm whole wheat flat bread made right on the spot. The garlic sauce is what make it memorable. Sold at Mama's Bakery and Lebanese Deli at Alabama Street and El Cajon Blvd. in San Diego.

[begin_within]

61. Great meatless sandwich:

Take a fresh, soft torpedo roll and split it open. On the 2 flat surfaces, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise. Place slices of Muenster cheese on one and mild cheddar on the other. Place this in a toaster oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted. Take out and sprinkle seasoning salt lightly on top of the cheese. Arrange very thinly sliced onions on top of both, very thinly sliced tomato on one, then place pieces of lettuce on top of the tomato, then take the other half and turn it over and place on top of the lettuce. Cut in half and eat immediatlely while still warm. Heavenly.

[Sugar Smack]

66. Thank you.

:cry: Bob_weaver, you should be paid for such pointers & descriptions. That was beautiful, and as of now, I'm bookmarking my own thread.

:pals: :yourock:

[begin_within]

68. You're welcome. A little seasoning salt makes virtually any sandwich

a lot better. And the thin layer of mayonnaise on the bread is the secret to a really great grilled cheese sandwich.

[LeftyMom]

63. Hummus on toasted sourdough

With lettuce, sprouts, onions, peperoncinis, olives, and cucumber, with a little italian seasoning and fresh ground black pepper.

Almost better than sex.

[Sugar Smack]

70. Do you know something I love that's new to me

is eggplant on sandwiches. There's a greek place nearby, and they have eggplant sandwiches with tomato sauce, cheese or no cheese. The spices are exactly right (to my taste, anyway). And black pepper on sandwiches is so good. :9 I just ate & I'm getting hungry again!

[mcscajun]

69. The Perfect Sandwich is a Journey, not a Destination.

And that concludes today's Food Network Zen koan.

[Sugar Smack]

73. OK, I like the way you think.

Nothing can touch me when I'm spreading mustard on bread. Nothing. :)

[Redstone]

71. Dang, that sounds good.

Gotta make one this weekend.

Redstone

[Sugar Smack]

74. That tomato sandwich recipe.

OMG. Dang, am I going to have to go tomato shopping this weekend? :9 :loveya:

[Redstone]

77. Did you save it last time, or do you need it again? If you do, I will

of course re-post it. For you, anything.

Truth.

Redstone

[Sugar Smack]

78. I bronzed the sandwich; I lost the recipe.

:o Some people who should know have accused me of being impractical.

[Redstone]

79. Aha, so you ARE a lot like me! It's fate, kiddo, FATE I tell you...

I'll dig it up from the other computer in the morning and post or PM it.

Redstone

[smtpgirl]

84. My famous grilled Chicken

romaine lettuce
cucumbers
roma tomatoes
ceasar dressing
shredded fontina cheese
whole wheat wrap

[Sugar Smack]

86. That sounds like lunch tomorrow for me,

except it'd have to be my un-famous grilled chicken. ;)

[jpgray]

85. A really good BELT

Maybe with pesto aioli instead of mayo, but still.

[Sugar Smack]

87. Please tell me, what's a BELT?

:bounce: Is that bacon, egg, lettuce & tomato?

[jpgray]

88. Yes

Simple, but it can be really good.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

89. It's the "Alpine Slide" at the place I used to work...

You could order it on either multi-grain or baguette (I had no real preference over either).

Grilled Tofu-Lin (a marinated baked tofu)
Smoked Jarlsberg Cheese
Leafy Lettuce
Honey Mustard
Granny Smith Apple Slices

It could almost be made with turkey for the carnivore types.

[Dukkha]

90. Peanut Butter and Cheddar Cheese

I SWEAR it's good! try it.

[chaska]

91. Homegrown tomato and jalapeno on white with mayo (Dukes) ... and salt.

fresh jalapeno, not canned.

[TK421]

92. Hold that stinky onion and that sandwich sounds really tasty!

:9

[SoyCat]

93. Rudy's whole wheat bread (toasted) with the following goodies:

tomato
romaine or arugula
avocado
Tofurky (hickory smoked or peppered)
Simply Organic all-purpose seasoning
freshly-ground black pepper
Vegenaise
coarse mustard

[Broken_Hero]

95. hmm...

I start off with the base of an old seattle, which is...

tomato

sunflower seeds

mayo

roastbeef

Sourdough bread

But, I would add...one slice of provolone cheese, a nice fat piece of lettuce, and onions....maybe a bell pepper slice or too...hmm, and double roast beef!...:hi:
