Subway 6" turkey on whole wheat, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, green peppers, olives, cucumbers, and pepper - no salt.

I am very pedestrian in my sandwich choices.

Yep, I forgot to leave my reply.

Almost anything cold from Subway; on wheat with everything on it, hold the sweet peppers, and add extra lettuce and hot peppers.

Man, I love cold cuts.

Cheez Whiz (only two e’s) is a brand name for a product that looks like orange library paste. However, when melted, it turns into a soft, salty mass that is the perfect companion to the yeasty-crusty roll, savory beef, and sweet-sharp onions that join with it to form that Sandwich of Sandwiches, the Cheesesteak.

I was going to say that any resemblance to any cheese, living or dead, is purely coincidental, but I see from **Hugh Jass’** link that it does indeed contain actual dairy products. Who’d’a thought?

I miss cheesesteaks ☹

I can’t believe that no one has mentioned the muffulettas from [Central Grocery](http://neworleans.citysearch.com/profile/4428708) in New Orleans! Oh God! If I had to choose a last meal… hmmmm!!

As far as sandwiches at home, my GF turned me on to the joy that is the grilled cheese with bacon, although I use more cheese and bacon than she does! 🙂

I have had Virginia Ham with Kraft aged swiss cheese on a sub bun every weekday for the last 7 years. That is not obsessive. Now, I leave you to line up the pencils in every desk throughout the office.

Anyone in Chicagoland catch the PBS special on the best sandwiches of Amers? One of the featured sandwiches was a “Made Rite” from Marshalltown Iowa - loose, cooked ground beef on a bun - nothing else. Imagine a sloppy joe without the sauce. The meat isn’t even seasoned. I love a good burger, but how could one of these possibly taste good?

Not certain how ‘America’ turned into ‘Amers’… but it wasn’t my fault. Really!
