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.)

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

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.

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.

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
