Look, I’m gonna level with y’all. I’ve been here a little over 24 hours and yet to find out what anyone’s preferred sandwich is. As is known, sandwiches are the glue holding our society together, so this sad state cannot be allowed to continue.
In a short time, the juiciest of tomatoes will begin to drop off the vine here in the US, and the first, the finest, the primordial sandwich, the BLT proper, will grace us with its presence.
But until then, what are we to do? Slap undressed turkey on wheat? Like cavemen?? Tell me about your sandwiches. Inspire your fellow… fediverse…ians?
A proper Ruben sandwich is hard to beat. I do love a good muffaletta too.
I second the Ruben. Never hear of muffuletta, but my mouth is now watering for the ruben
You didn’t say ‘sudo’.
do you imply the existence of sandwiches that require… privileged access
All of the best ones absolutely require root to make correctly.

Though I haven’t had one in ages, “Cuban Sandwich” popped into mind first for some reason. Maybe because the next more exotic sandwich I’m aware of is a PB&J. Hopefully the ideas here will expand my world a bit.
Croque madame, but it is a bit more effort than your regular stack
A good Italian sub is the tastiest thing on the planet. Every place might do it a little differently but it’s the basis on which I judge any sandwich shop.
Ya, but only if it’s from a legit sub shop, not a chain. I can’t even bother with subs unless I’m on the East Coast. Preferably south New Jersey. But surprisingly, the WaWa chain can make a pretty good sub, my only exception to the “no chain” rule.
I’m the same but I live in the city (St. Louis) and we have some very good sub shops here. Blues City Deli is by far the best imo.
The day after Thanksgiving sandwich. It’s usually got turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, and gravy. Mmmmmm.
Not a sandwich but I had Thanksgiving leftover waffles for the first time last year, and that was yummy and fun! Just take a plate full of the usual leftover elements and smash it into a waffle iron!
I make stuffing waffles by default now.
Just make stuffing, whatever recipe or prepackaged mix you like, allow to cool slightly and mix in lightly beaten eggs. About one egg per pound of stuffing and waffle it! Maximum crispy edges.
Ooo that sounds good
PBJ. Classic and will never get old.
Bread sandwich. 2 toasted slices with 1 untoasted in between
Bahn mi, I had one last night
Toasted baguette Spicy mayo Cucumber slices Cilantro Asian flavor marinated chicken or pork Pickled julliened carrots Top of the baguette and spicy mayo
I can’t provide words to describe the greatness of the sum of its parts
Oh I love me a Bahn Mi
The city I moved away from last year has a kickass Vietnamese restaurant, I miss it so much
My favorite was invented by a friend of mine as far as I know. It’s a modified cheesesteak. Like a Tex Mex cheesesteak I guess.
Start by smoking a prime rib. The method is outside the scope of this discussion but I’ll happily share another time. Slice it super thin, season with SPG and cumin. We don’t smoke a prime rib just for the sandwiches, but we always have them when we have leftovers.
Separately, make some smoked queso. Again, this is outside the scope but don’t just do Velveeta and Rotel, make a bechamel sauce add your cheeses, and use fresh tomatoes and peppers, then pop the pan on the smoker to get the smokey flavors infused.
Pop some butter, onions, bell pepper, jalapeno, garlic, and mushrooms in a pan to saute. Once they’ve softened add the thin slices of smoked rib roast and cook for another minute or two.
Put the mixture on a toasted hoagie roll and cover liberally with smoked queso and a sprinkle of grated Oaxacan cheese. Enjoy your delicious heart attack.
Note: this can be done the poor man’s way with cheaper or easier cuts of beef (try it with a chuck eye steak which is several dollars per pound cheaper) or chicken, and can be done with Velveeta and Rotel queso that more people are familiar with. You’ll get no judgement from me. I just love it a specific way and wanted to share.
Does anyone know of any Lemmy communities for sandwiches?
My style is a smash and grab for a wrap. I just fly through discounted salads that would make a great wrap and then hunt down fillers and sauces that appeal.
Favourite being a sprinkle of curry powder, mayonnaise, sun dried tomato strips, artichoke heart strips, shredded lettuce, and a salad mix all drizzled in lemon and sweet chilli sauce. For the kids I add some thinly sliced nuggets.
Hopefully a half decent wrap is on sale too.
This morning I was grabbing some groceries and I thought am I lazy today? and answered yes, of course, so I grabbed a good looking salad mix on sale.
Lunch came, I smashed it into a wrap with some dressing and a lil hot sauce (and leftover grilled chicken), and I can say 100% I approve of this technique! A little more forethought on my part and maybe it can be even tastier.
So I can certainly make a better sandwich if I sit down to it, but this is hard to beat on speed and cost.
ITT: obscure local things only locals or scientists could slap on their bread-equivalent.
I read this after I posted and now I feel bad for my ridiculously involved sandwich.
Your ridiculously involved sandwich sounds delicious tho, don’t let practicality hold you back when it comes to art
I’m enjoying this whole thread of sandwiches, so thank you for making it! If I want practical I’ll do ham and cheese with greens and tomatoes on sourdough or one of those BLTs you mentioned with fresh tomatoes right off the vine. But you asked for FAVORITE.
So now I’ve got to smoke a prime rib this weekend. I’ve got a 4 bone out in the deep freeze that I’ll need to pull out tonight in honor of this thread.
❤️
I’ve gotta make something delicious this weekend myself, after reading about all these amazing sandwiches here
