Annual
Gaming World Sandwich Thread - 2008
It's that time of the year again... For the Sandwich Thread! Each year a topic is started regarding your taste in Sandwiches. Many people like different sandwiches. Some people hate mayonnaise on their sandwich, while others love it. Some people put a bunch of toppings on their sandwiches, and many other people just like the simple PB&J!
Here's the thread to share your tastes in sandwiches!
Basically, just describe your perfect sandwich... Or a sandwich that you've learned of that you've now grown to love. By posting your favorite type of sandwich, others might be interested in it... And it's always great to try something new!
There has been 4 other Sandwich thread topics, however, I'm unable to locate them via the new Google search. If anyone can find all the links, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, I usually start this thread every year, and I haven't seen it yet... So if someone beat me to the 2008 thread, let me or a mod know so this thread can be promptly deleted.
Now, begin posting your sandwiches! (I'll post mine later on in the thread.)

Damn, I'm eating my favorite sandwich right now!
Its a grilled cheese with Wonder Bread (white) and Muenster cheese. Mmmmmmmmm...
-
I wish I had some bread. I have some turkey and ham all nice and sliced up waiting for me in the fridge....
What I would do to get my hands on a ham and turkey sammich...
-
Okay, here we go:
Turkey, ham, and tomatoes, placed on sourdough bread, then toasted in an oven till the bread is a golden brown color. Then you put lettuce and thinly sliced cucumbers on, and top it off with italian dressing and some various chopped herbs/spices.
Mmmm

Wonder Bread (white)
I never understood white people's fascination with white bread (wunderbread). That shit is seriously the worst stuff you can eat outside of sugars and fats. By the time they're done processing it, it's not even a grain anymore. The crap with the buttered crust is even worse and I read a study somewhere that for every piece of white bread you eat you shorten your life span by 5 minutes or some ridiculous claim like that (but seriously, it's not even real bread).
Anyways, I'm pretty picky about my sandwiches. These two are my absolute fave:
Marble Rye
Turkey
Swiss Cheese
Romane Lettuce (not that watery iceberg crap)
Tomatoes sprinkled with salt and cracked peppercorn
Pitted Green Olives
Olive Oil
Red Onions
A few drops of vinegar
Oh god, mouth watering right now. For desert, I like to make a special 'sweet' sandwhich.
Honey Oat bread
Mascarpone Cheese (it's this kind of savory yet sweet cheese used as a spread)
Honey
Sliced Bananas
ohmanohmanohmanohman i just realized i didn't eat dinner! BYE

All I need is cracked wheat bread, deli sliced turkey, deli sliced cheddar cheese and sliced avocado and I'm in heaven

I like salmon mayo sandwiches. It tastes surprisingly good for something that simple. I don't like fish much outside these sandwiches really. Just take canned salmon (for some reason non-canned salmon really doesn't taste as good for it) , put some of it in a bowl (enough to spread about half an inch of it over a slice of bread), add a teaspoon of mayonnaise (not too much of it, it can taste really nasty if you upset the balance!) mix, toast some nice multi grain bread, and possibly add a few lettuce leaves. Its very nice to accompany a vegetable cream soup. You don't have to toast the bread too, but its better imo. Also for some reason the taste of these sandwiches really make you want to drink milk, so have a lil glass of it ready. You can do it with tuna too, its almost as good.
Also I like to simply mash garlic with a little butter and spread it on a freshly toasted slice of pumpernickel bread. It accompanies any meal just right, but its especially good with soups.
-
I cant make my own sandwiches at home anymore because they arent as good as the stuff I can make at work
personally I like to have a turkey sandwich with red onions, some lettuce, mayo and hot sauce and some really chunky guacamole or something, avacado slices do well too

Damn.. That kinda makes me wanna go buy more white bread. No but seriously, thats crazy I didn't know about that. I'll have to buy different bread from now on. That sounds really gross. I remember hearing that white bread is bad for you but I thought it was just whole grain bread had some of the grain taken out so it could have a longer shelf life. No wonder it's so hard to find white bread. Like seriously, I work at a grocery store and there's almost no white bread. All the bread manufacturers have switched to whole grain or oat bread. Or weird stuff like potato bread.
I used to love potato bread plain, untoasted, just right by itself. I can barely even stand the smell anymore though :/ Expensive as hell too.

Well, this decade everyone began to realize that America is so fat that in 10 years the earth will actually spin off orbit (this is a real scientific claim backed by real scientific research and you cannot refute it under the Scientific Logic is Irrefutable Act of 1907).
Anyways, whole grain is the best. Potato bread isn't that much better but they made it to appease everyone who still used to eat it white bread. Southern black folks only eat whole grain breads so I've always been biased. My parents didn't even use white flour, they used stone ground brown flour.
Even food is segregated...

On a somewhat related note: making bread yourself is absolutely amazing. It's actually REALLY FUN and it tastes pretty damn good without requiring a whole lot of skill on your part.

Can I do this without--like--a bread cooker or whatever is used to make bread?

Holy crap that's awesome. That wins the thread. What's in it, though? Care to explain some step by step instructions?
-

Yeah, you just need an oven. Breadmakers are used to simplify the process of mixing the ingredients together in the right order and ratio. If you measure out all the ingredients yourself, you can follow some simple step-by-step instructions you can find online, mix the ingredients properly, knead and then put the dough on a ceramic plate and pop it in the oven for the correct amount of time, you can make bread perfectly fine. The hardest part is going to be getting a proper yeast culture to make it with, but that isn't really all that hard at all, and you'd have to do that with a breadmaker anyway.

Ah, the sandwich, clearly the best food-based invention known to man. I like to keep my stuff nice and simplistic, but I can't decide between my two favorites:
Peanut Butter (preferably Peter Pan) and Kraft American Cheese on plain Italian-style bread.
Smith's Hard Salami (5-6 slices) with Swiss cheese, sliced tomato and lettuce, on marble rye. Microwave long enough to melt the cheese, then put on some Frank's Red Hot sauce. Simply the best.

its a pic from SA but I made it once and only once since it's so pricey noooo piccies from me because i didn't have a camera.
arugula, some thick sliced tomatoes with a litl ebit of olive oil and some cracked black pepper, alfalfa sprouts (in mine, the one in the pic is "spicy sprouts"), avocado, bacon, black pepper turkey, dill havarti, and I used a swiss but the pic is a hard cheddar. I also had VERY LITTLE MAYO.
-
My favourite is from a cafe that I go to with my mum quite often.
Cajun chicken, avocado, swiss cheese, salt, pepper, and their most awesome mayonnaise EVER. Warmed up on light rye bread.
It's the best shit ever.
If not that, I love making pan fried ham and cheese sandwiches :D
-
I like some thick-cut turkey on whole-grain bread with a couple pieces of iceberg lettuce (I like water) and miracle whip (it's a miracle) on both pieces of bread. I am pretty damn simple.
Sometimes I like some swiss cheese on that but only a thin slice, and I rarely have any so :goose:
Also schnitzel on white bread is instant sandwich, despite it not really being a sandwich.
Another sandwich you can make is to take a can of tuna, mix it with some mayo/miracle whip and cut up some celery into it in little cubes and eat it on either toasted white or untoasted whole-grain (that's just a preference, of course). That is really good.

California Tri Tip Sandwich.
First, you take a nice Dutch Crunch (Or French, or whatever you prefer.) sandwich roll, and you split it with a knife (but not all the way through.)
Then, you take a Tri-Tip cut of cow. (We call it Tri-Tip in California. You may know the cut as a "Santa Maria Steak" in other parts of the US, or as a "Triangle Steak" in the UK.) Marinate it how you wish and barbecue it to whatever level of cooked you prefer. I like to marinate in Worcestershire sauce and then baste it with barbecue sauce in the last few minutes of cooking.
Slice the steak as thin as you can. Spread a little honey Dijon mustard (Or mayonnaise. Really, it's all personal preference.), on the roll and layer the steak slices in a kind of crumpled, folded pattern. Add cheese to the top (I like a medium cheddar, but swiss, jack, or any other hard cheese you prefer works well.) and stick it in the oven at about 425 degrees until it's toasted and the cheese is melted.
Sandwich perfection.
Of course, other ingredients added to the sandwich allows you to customize it. Avocado works very, very, VERY well, as well as shredded lettuce, sprouts, tomato, onion, green peppers, etc.

The Tri Tip is a delicious, and often overlooked cut of beef.

I don't really have a favourite sandwich, but what I REALLY like to do is just go out to the deli or grocery store, pick up lots of different kinds of meats and cheeses and just.. Toss them together, usually on a kaiser bun.
I am yet to have a "bad" sandwich from doing this.

That's because it's impossible to make a bad sandwich unless you do it on purpose. As long as you put in the ingredients you think you would find good, it should turn out to be a delicious sandwich :gwa:
-
It's nothing fancy, but I do love a good grilled cheese sandwich with a hearty bowl of tomato soup (the real stuff, with chunks of stewed tomato). You can add ham to the sandwich for extra happy feelings. :)
Lately, though, I've been just making a simple mayo-mustard-pickle-tomato-lettuce/cabbage/spinach-bologna/salami/pastrami/whateverwehaveatthetime-cheese sandwich. And now that we're almost out of bread, probably honey tortillas or something crazy like that. Because I'm too lazy to make a quesadilla at the moment. :(
-
I think I will go to the grocery store on my way home after work today to buy some sandwich ingredients to celebrate the return of my favourite sport (see avatar). Does anyone know any really good meats you can pick up without having to go to the deli?
-
Ahhh.... Sandwiches :fogetbackflip:
Sandwiches are probly one of the best foods ever, since appart from being very tasty, a well-made sandwich can be very healthy since it has a good proportion of proteins, carbohydrates and vegetables.
My all-times favourite sandwich is a traditional Chilean one called Chacarero. It consists of a hamburger bum with:
-in the bottom a layer of mashed avocado (similar to guacamole, but without the tomato)
-one or two thin cuts of grilled beef
-various slices of tomato
-loads of green beans
-chopped green chilis
-mayonnese and mustard at will
-And its MASSIVE!
That's probly the thing I miss most from my home country. It's kindda pointless trying to make such a thing at least here in England where vegs and meat bought in supermarkets barely tastes of anything... oh well, still cheddar cheese is good in almost any kind of sandwich which is good.
