That tomato sandwich needs to go, wtf if that.  And if I were to eat a tomato sandwich, it would be on italian bread with some oil and or balsamic and fresh mozz.  If that was presented, I'd probably remove the baloney sandwich.

The wife makes tomato sandwiches.  She lightly spreads mayo then added spices to it like basil and oregano and pepper.  Slaps on a slice of cheese and it's every good.   I do like on some artisanal, hearty breads though.

Yeah, I think that white bread in the picture is a major turn off to an actual tomato sandwich

Tomato can go, cuz everything in there is enhanced with bacon, lettuce (and cheese ... who doesn't put cheese on a BLT?)

Give me a nice fried egg sammich, and I've started my day off right (which I did this morning).  Turkey Club is planned for lunch.

Rankings of the above:

BLT
Grilled Cheese
PB&J (gotta be crunchy PB though)
Egg Salad
Bologna
Tomato

BLT's are LITERALLY the only thing cheese isn't good on.   I NEVER put cheese on my BLT.  

In that list, I would ditch the tomato sandwich; I like them, but they don't hold a candle to the others.  I LOVE a baloney sammich better if the baloney is lightly fried.   Egg sandwiches are the bomb, but they have to be done right (need a little celery in there for crunch).

My favorite sandwiches are Italians (Sarcone's in Philly is topnotch, though I heard rumblings they closed), or a good Philly steak and cheese (Jim's, on South Street, in case anyone cares).

Of all the times I've though you weren't right in the head, these two just skyrocketed to the top of the list.  I'm not sure we can be friends anymore.

Celery??  On a sammich??
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad

Yea.. celery on an egg sandwich? I'm assuming it's from the picture of a breakfast egg sandwich not an egg salad sandwich.  I can see it on egg salad, but not on a breakfast sandwich.

No, no, when you mix up the egg salad, put some diced celery in there.  I do the same thing when I make tuna salad (which I love).   Two cans of tuna fish, packed in water, a half-stalk or so of celery, finely diced, salt (be careful, the tuna is sometimes salty itself), pepper, and mayo.   Mix it up, put it on a piece of white bread, lay a slab of American cheese on it, put it in the broiler, then add the second piece of bread, and voila!   Only thing that makes it better is a cup of tomato soup. 


I've already given my recipe for a breakfast sandwich:   meat (sausage or bacon, though ham will do), on a hard roll with a swipe of mayo, salt, pepper, tomato, then fry an egg (preferably using the grease from the bacon if you have it; I keep some in a can near the stove like my grandma did) over medium, putting the cheese on top after I flip the egg and covering the pan so the cheese melts.   I don't over cook the egg, because I want some of that yolk to drip out over the rest of the sandwich.   There's nothing "green" in or on my breakfast sandwiches.

When I was little my mom knew I hated celery and substituted lettuce mixed in my tuna.  The sacrifices moms make for their children.

If the subject is sandwiches a normal person could make on their own, I'm going with roast beef and cheddar heated in the oven, with horseradish mayo. Smoked turkey will do in a pinch. Anytime I've got BBQ leftover from lunch that goes into a sandwich. The nice thing about that is that it doesn't matter what you've got leftover. It all works great. And if there's leftover coleslaw that makes a fine addition.

If we're talking about best all-around sandwiches, a place up here does a shaved ribeye with blue cheese and caramelized onions that's a dame fine piece of work. A taqueria I used to hit up a lot has a giant torta with ham, milanesa, and chorizo (along with the typical torta fixins) that probably topped my list. All the better because they dice up the ham and saute it with the onions and jalapenos.

I usually don't buy roast beef for whatever reason, I guess for cold cuts I'm usually a turkey guy, but that sandwich pretty much sounds like arbys which makes me want to try something like that out at home.

We use dill relish a dab of mayo, a small amount of mustard and pepper when making tuna fish.

Top 4 Sandwiches for me:

1.  Reuben - traditional style but will occasionally sub turkey pastrami.

2.  Thin sliced roast beef (a lot) on dark rye spread with cream cheese, red onion, tomato, and cucumber slices and a dab of French's yellow mustard.

3.  French Dip - just sliced roast beef on french roll and au jus.  Simple and easy.

4.  BLTA (yes, mashed avocado occasionally substitutes for the mayo) on white, non-toasted bread

******

I don't mind a good egg salad but along with the finely chopped celery, I'd like some finely chopped dill pickle too and maybe some chopped green onion. *chef's kiss*

Turkey sucks. Unless it's smoked, then it's pretty good. The whole turkey, a la Thanksgiving, is a waste of table space.

I'm rarely surprised these days, but this did it.   Wow. 

I grew up with fresh rye bread baked at Ann's Bakery sliced on one of those things that look like a medieval torture device; couple slabs of butter, and I'm good to go.   It does make for shitty toast, though.

I'm pretty much a strictly whitebread kind of guy. I love bread, I probably go through 4 baguettes a week, but if it's not regular flour and maybe yeast, I'm probably out. If cornbread actually qualifies as bread that would be an exception, I suppose.

I'd probably give up all other bread for dark rye.  And rye bread toast?  YUM.  I mean, it isn't good with jam but that's what biscuits are for!  Hey this reminds me, during the bread making craze I bought some rye flour to try to make a loaf from scratch and completely forgot about it.  LoL. Ooops.  :justjen

All the better because they dice up the ham and saute it with the onions and jalapenos.

I had to spend the day in Madera last month, and had to go hunt for lunch near the Courthouse.  There wasn't as much food around as in other towns I normally spend time in, so I asked one of the bailiffs for a recommendation, and he suggested a Mexican carniceria that has a lunch counter around the corner.  When I got there and saw a line almost to the door, and none of the people behind the counter appeared to speak English, I figured I was in a very, VERY happy place.  Got a carne asada torta that was out of this world.  And the thing was HUGE.  Ate it on a park bench where I was hunched over almost horizontally to avoid getting any on my clothes.  I could have been Guy Fieri, because I lost count of how many times I involuntarily utters the phrases "legit!" and "out of bounds!"

At first I was going to jump on this, but then I realized I kinda feel the same way. The turkey sandwich for lunch the next day is miles better than the turkey on the plate for Thanksgiving dinner.

Ruebens are awesome, cannot recall the last time I had one. Will rectify that at the next possible opportunity.

I was very late to the party when it comes to corn bread. Not sure what changed my mind.

The turkey thing is weird to me.  I love turkey on Thanksgiving but I hate left over turkey unless it is heated.  There is something about cold turkey that tastes weird to me.  Now a hot turkey open faced sandwich on white bread covered in gravy and a side of homemade cranberry compote (not that shit in a can cranberry sauce) and now you're talking turkey.   :laugh:

Leftover Thanksgiving turkey is best experienced in a Thanksgiving sandwich the next day (don't forget the moistmaker).

The important distinction is that roasted turkey sucks. Smoked turkey, ideally mesquite, is great. I'd consider an exception for fried turkey. The one time somebody brought one over I thought it was pretty good, certainly better than plane ole roasted turkey, but nothing mindblowing. Moreover, the fact that we even need to know what the moist-maker was, and it sounds disgusting, BTW, is proof enough that roasted turkey sucks for pretty much everything.

Some cornbread is great. Some isn't. Just like anything else. I don't have any particularly preference for how it should be. I just like some and don't like others. That said, speaking of turkey, cornbread stuffing is great. It's a fine accompaniment to chili and a variety of other soups/stews. Hushpuppies make the world a better place. Cornbread definitely has its applications.
