The best sandwich you ever ate!

I Give It My Best Shot.....



Cheers Glen.

 

it was a turkey melt at a restaurant on Main Street, Merrickville, Ontario (that's not that far from Ottawa or in the other direction - the st. Lawrence river which drains much of North America - beginning at Lake Ontario which also borders NY State - the restaurant is different now so you'll never get another one but it was rapturous

I MEAN RAPTUROUS

 

I'm sorry. I am not into people sandwiches....

but the kind of sandwiches one eats...yes, I love all kinds of those.

 

Try that tuna melt with ice cold tuna salad. Make (or order) the melt as you normally would, but don't add the tuna salad until just before removing it from the grill. Absolutely incredible!

 

I'm partial to egg salad and any kind of ham or turkey sandwich with potato chips...and I don't mean chips on the side. I mean the chips are actually IN the sandwich.

 

Steak + onions + chill mayo........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

 

I'd also give an honourable mention to the humble egg and cress sandwich.....it's so simple yet, deceptively reassuring in it's loveliness.

 

Pork + onion rings + chilli mayo + bloomer bread or french baguette.

 

I always get a six inch pizza sub.

 

Hot pastrami on rye

 

I'm about to make a n Ardennes pate and tomato baguette and that will be the best ever right now because I'm really hungry.

 

I just had a salmon and cheese sandwich. Am full now

 

OK, it was around 1968 or '69. I was 20 or 21 and in Rio De Janeiro on a mission for the USAF for the first, of many, times. We were booked into a hotel on Ipanema Beach. That was when I learned the significance of the song, 'Girl From Ipanema'.

The hotel we were in served a continental breakfast in the room every morning which consisted coffee, fruit, a loaf of bread, meet, and cheese. I'd have the coffee and fruit for breakfast, then make sandwiches for later in the day. Hey, we were on per-diem and it saved money. But, those afternoons, sitting on the beach eating those sandwiches and watching those beautiful topless Brazilian girls walking by, sure made those sandwiches memorable!

 

What sort of meet was it? Greeted ham?

 

Hoagies at Texas Avenue in Cape May New Jersey !

 

Philly steak cheese, with pepper onion mushroom on hoagie. At ma and pas bar and grill.

 

Chicken biscuit from Martin's in Atlanta, GA, USA.

 

A custom build at a "Steak & egger" diner near Chicago that's sadly long gone.
Double bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg, a slice of breakfast ham and a thin grilled chicken breast all jammed together on a kaiser roll.
Cost me $12 in 2006 money.
