Okay, close second:

Italian roll.  
Spicy sopressata (lots of it)  
Fresh mozzarella  
Onion  
Roasted garlic spread  
Mayo  
Brown mustard

I’ve got a number of good Italian delis near me so I could buy all the ingredients but I prefer the royal-we method of “we’re making” so I just have the guys put it together for me at the counter.

And . . . milk, again.

Sloppy Joe on a toasted onion Kaiser roll, with a slice of cheddar melting on top

Alternately, a real cheesesteak. Chopped/shredded grilled beef, onions, and American cheese, on an Amoroso’s roll (and yes, I know that American isn’t the only possibility for a cheesesteak, but it’s my favorite).

That is the correct answer. 🙂

I’d put a vote to banh mi, too, but I don’t think I’ve ever had one with cheese.

What kind of cheese are you putting on that, you heretic?

If I’m allowed vegetables, then a turkey & bacon & cheese & greens & onions will hit the spot. Otherwise, a tuna melt will do it for me.

Kati rolls similarly crossed my mind and suffered a similar disqualification. But maybe I’m wrong, does anyone ever put paneer in a kati roll?

Neither is crazy, the Indians do mix cheese and meat in other dishes (I think?), and the French who taught the Indochinese how to make sandwiches certainly aren’t averse to meat and cheese on bread.

My husband makes an awesome Bánh Mi. He uses beef, though, marinated and broiled. With a lightly pickled salad of carrot, radishes and jalapenos on top, and lots of mayo on french loaf. It’s heavenly.

Sourdough

Generous portion of turkey  
Sweet hot mustard  
Plus, all the popcorn you can eat  
Just like the sandwiches you get at [Domini’s](http://fo.odie.us/businesses/restaurants/domini_s/269/)–a Spokane institution.

Freshly baked rye bread with caraway seeds.

Kosher corned beef (excess fat trimmed). Heated.

Yellow mustard and a medium small amount of horseradish (fresh if available).

If I MUST have cheese, make it a very thin slice of Swiss. But I’d prefer not to have cheese.

I understand the individual words you’re using but this sentence makes no sense to me.
