Hot sandwich: I love a good, crispy, thin turkey rueben. Turkey, sauerkraut, swiss and thousand island on rye. Cold sandwich: a sort of variation on that. Challah bread, Russian dressing, turkey, cole slaw and colby cheese. I could eat it every day. hmm maybe I’ll go get one right now. jar ---

Day-to-day sandwiches: Roast beef, horseradish (no mayo) and red onions on sourdough. Or smoked salmon and red onions on dark rye. Special occasions: Real cheesesteaks (which almost no place makes here in DC-they use provolone and make it into a hoagie) Sometimes, after Christmas dinners there’s prime rib left over. I either make cheesesteaks with that or slice it into ribbons and put it on an onion roll with horseradish. When I lived in Belgium, they had a sandwich called the “club americain”. Keep in mind that “Americain” anything in Belgium means seasoned steak tartare. This had raw beef mixed with spices, onions and eggs as the base (usually on a baguette). Layer with hardboiled eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrot shavings and little crispy bits of fried chicken skin. Sounds weird but it’s excellent. ---

They person who invented the sandwich was a genius! I eat sandwiches almost every day. If I had to pick a favorite… Hot: There’s a restaurant in a town a few miles away called Big T’s Food and Spirits, or something. It’s a steakhouse so naturally the food is great. They have a Prime Rib sandwich that is the greatest thing I have ever had. \ Prime rib, cooked to order, with onions and au jus sauce … \ Cold sandwich? Gotta go with the PB&J. (but only strawberry jelly.) It’s a classic and you can never go wrong. -Syko “My cat’s breath smells like cat food.” - Ralph Wiggum ---

Not sure if it’s officially a sandwich, but the greatest bread containing another product type thingy has got to be a local takeaway’s: \*\* CHIPS IN NAAN BREAD !!! \*\* Mmmm mmm mmm, lovely. Best stodge food I’ve ever eaten. Soemtimes with a good ketchup, sometimes with mayonaise, sometimes with both, other times with plain ol’ salt and vinegar. High in carbohydrate, but extraordinarily filling. I’ve never since found anywhere that sells it since. Marvelous… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SirSykoSexxy \* > **They person who invented the sandwich was a genius!** Yeah! What was his name, again? I just melted the last of the fresh mozzarella on half a seeded roll, spread the other half with a little mayo, salted and peppered it, covered it with thily sliced artichoke heart and a couple slices of Hebrew National beef salami, then slapped the two halves together and ate it. For a “let’s get this damn refrigerator cleaned out” sandwich, it was pretty good. ---

I don’t like hot sandwiches, but my favorite cold sandwich is provolone, lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar on a hard roll. I haven’t had that in a long time, but now I want one right now. ---

Stodge food is just stuff that’s really filling. Especially appealing after a night drinking beers and with a craving for munchies. What’s Naan bread ?!?!? Naan bread is the bread you get in Indian resturaunts to go with your curry (mmm, curry…). Naan bread is wonderful stuff. If you’ve never had any, then go now and find some (not Supermarket rubbish though). Go quickly! Run boy! Ah yes. Naan bread… mmm… ---

For cold sandwiches, I’d take either a turkey-and-mayo classic or a really well made egg salad. However, a good egg salad sandwich is hard to come by. For hot sandwiches, give me an open hot turkey slathered in gravy with a side of fries any day. Mmmmmm. ---

Cold: Turkey (has to be leftover from Thanksgiving or a roasted turkey, no coldcut slices) with some mayo and salt on white bread. Hot: Rueben, corned-beef, extra kraut. Mmmmm… ---

Hot: My favorite hot sandwich is a Reuban… corned beef, lots of kraut, 1000 island dressing… yummy. Cold: I like plain old bologna sandwiches with lots of mayo and mustard, lettuce, dill pickle chips, american cheese, and tomatoes on a hoagie. Favorite salad sandwich: Tuna salad with lettuce and dill pickles. ---

Hot sandwich: the New Orleans oyster loaf. Take a 12" French-type loaf of break, cut it in half, remove some of the inside, slather with mayonnaise, dash with Tabasco, and fill with batter-fried oysters. Pure culinary ecstacy. Cold sandwich: Hmm…that’s tougher. Well, I’ve always been partial to a good curry chicken salad sandwich…but it has to have green grapes in it, too. Oh, and **jarbabyj** : Naan is the leavened type of Indian break (with yeast), as opposed to the unleavened (chapatis, pooris, parathas, etc.). It’s way yummy. ---

Hot sandwich: Guess. Cold sandwich: Probably a tossup between an Italian Combo Wedge [sub]we call subs “wedges” around here, no, I don’t know why[/sub] with everything and **Big Sam’s** turkey on white. ---

Hot - croque messeur (sp?) which is a French grilled sandwich of shaved ham and sprinkled with cheese crumbs. Cold - salami, bologna, mustard on pumpernickle. ---
