So there you are… sitting in the living room, getting tired of hearing about all the great new TV shows coming up in the next season… or sitting in front of the computer, masturbating and reading the SDMB (hi, Merc!). Or perhaps you’re staring at a wall and expecting it to sing. But eventually, you will get hungry. What do you do?
Well, you can either head out to Carl’s Jr., or you can make your way into the kitchen for a snack. You pop open the refrigerator, and amid the three dozen cans of pre-whipped cake frosting, you notice that you have some coldcuts.
“Mmm… sandwich…” you think.
So you make up your mind to make a sandwich. What kind of sandwich do you make? Do you stick with the ol’ PBJ (mmm… a classic… but only if it’s made with strawberry jelly). Or perhaps you slap a few slices of chicken 'tween two pieces of bread and chow down. Or, if you’re truly creative (or high), you go for something really exotic.
Me? Well, I’m simple… I put meat and sauce 'tween my bread. It doesn’t matter what kind of bread, of course. I slap some mayo on there, then place a random combination of turkey breast, ham slices, and cheese, with each different level holding either mustard, A-1 steak sauce, or Arby’s sauce. To finish up, I sprinkle some pepper on the pile of fattening food. I call it the “Three Level Sandwich”, because in the amount of time it took to put it together, my youngest brother gained three levels for his character in Diablo II.
I lo-o-o-o-ove pepperoni and cojack cheese on white bread. If I’m feeling crazy, maybe I’ll add a pickle or two.
Whenever I go to Subway, I always get a 12" BLT on white bread with cheese and mayo. I never get tomatoes, though. Do you know how many times I’ve heard the ‘sandwich artist’ say, “Oh, so you want a BL? Har har har!” It gets old after a while, believe me.
If it’s animal flesh, and it can fit reasonably well betwixt two slices of any bread, I’ll make a sammich out of it. no sauce. no garnish, spice, cheese, ANYTHING.
sandwich? what sandwich? looks down at hand oh, THAT sandwich! can’t ya see what’s on it? hold hand with sandwich up to monitor see? it’s got (gasp) LEFTOVERS! :eek:
heh-heh-h- OW! gets booted off thread
I usually do tuna salad, with extra eggs, tomatoes and chopped carrots instead of the usual pickles. And Miracle Whip, got to be Miracle Whip. I’ve been putting dill and green onions in my salad recently and that’s nummy too.
When I want a sandwich, I drive down to Thundercloud, Austin’s superior version of Subway. While I wait in line, I get to listen to whatever cool music the staff has playing, then I order my ham and cheese. White bread, full size, Provolone, please, lettuce and onion, mayo. Maybe a cup of soup if they have cream of potato or red beans and rice. If it happens to be a Thursday, I pick up the latest issue of the Austin Chronicle.
This is my default sandwich. Occasionally, I get the chicken salad on wheat with lettuce. Less often, when I am in the mood to totally disregard everything I know about nutrition, I get the Office Favorite-egg salad, cheese and bacon.
Well, all i have in the dorm is strawberry jam, so I eat a lot of jelly sandwiches.
If I had actual cold cuts, I would have ham, cheese, lettuce, a thin slice of tomato, and the bread would be spread with either mayonaise or creamy italian dressing.
Heh… I just remembered that, as a kid, I’d make sandwiches consisting of two pieces of bread, mayo, mustard, and relish. Nothin’ else. I loved those things…
Usually turkey, lettuce, tomato if I feel like slicing them, and mustard. Tons and tons of mustard, because it makes everything taste better. On the other hand, mayo is absolutely gross. Raw egg whites and vinegar? Not my idea of an appetizing sandwich.
Well, my ideal sandwich is turkey, cheddar, lettuce, onion, an dlots of mustard and mayo. This is what I get when I’m a the deli. When I’m home, and I’m really hungry, the best I can usually manage from my meager culinary resources is mayo on stale french bread.
Ideally, it would be fat-free mayo (yeah, yeah, I know, but it’s just for lubrication) and a good mustard on whole wheat with colby/jack or cheddar cheese, sweet pickles, sliced hardboiled egg, and sprouts on whole wheat bread. Maybe some romaine lettuce too, if I have any.
In real life, it’s whatever I can find, generally swiss or cheddar cheese on whole wheat. Fresh greens are usually an unrealized dream.

Pepperoncinis and some potato chips on the side. We’re talking major taste bud orgasm here. In a pinch, you can use the marbled rye, but light rye and other breads just don’t cut it. Same goes for the cheese, stick to the recipe. Very rare roast beef is preferable to overcooked.
Fortunately, there is a little shop just up the street from my home that makes this sandwich to perfection. Too bad it’s miles from my work and closed on weekends!
With the confidence in immortality only a 21-year-old can have …
A slice of fake Swiss, random cold cuts, soy sauce, Worchestershire sauce, A-1, sesame oil, garlic power, onion powder, lemon pepper, pinch of ginger, slice of American, all between two slices of the whitest bread I can find in a house full of wheat-eaters. Slather the outsides with butter, coat with Parmesan cheese, and fry in more butter to within an inch of its life.
Dark Bread, either pumpernickel or toasted whole wheat or dark rye

infidels)
