Hot: an honest Philly Cheesesteak with beef, cheese and green peppers. Cold: Ham and Swiss on white bread with lettuce and tomato. No condiments necessary, but a bit of ketchup is OK. ---

If I’m making it, toasted potato bread, with a slice of supermarket deli case ham, and a slice of store-brand Swiss cheese. Mayo from a squeeze bottle and a slice of vlasic kosher stacker pickle. If someone else is making it (in a home kitchen) cold meatloaf on toasted sourdough with cheddar. If it’s being ordered at a diner, Rueben all the way. I’d kinda like to try Mitch Hedberg’s special. Meat: Corned beef Bread: Banana Cheese: Cottage ---

1/3- or 1/2-pound hamburger patty, medium cheddar, spicy mustard, and a sourdough roll. Add sliced tomatoes and romaine if they count as condiments. (My _real_ favourite sandwich, though, is crunchy PB and sliced banana, on Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse hearty white or whole-grain white bread.) ---

I also love a peanut butter, bacon and banana sandwich on white toast. I’m not sure if peanut butter or bananas count as condiments. The sandwich is so good, great texture mixup. Then you get the salty and sweet. I want one now! ---

Canned pineapple rings are good on peanut butter sandwiches, though I haven’t tried that with bacon. ---

Please try to remember this thread is about a meat, a cheese and a bread at the very least, then condiments if so stated. There are probably generic sandwich threads out there, though. ---

I’m from Philly, and so my favorite sandwich is a [Lee’s Italian Cheltenham Half Sized](https://www.leeshoagiestogo.com/ShowMenu.tpl?cart=175807156125768172). Just perfection. ---

This probably sounds terrible, but I swear it’s delicious- grilled cheese with pumpernickel bread and Mexican Velveeta. ---

Absolute favorite: Ground beef, hand-shaped into a patty and grilled. Two slices of American cheesefood melted on top of the patty. Pre-sliced bread bun toasted. Ketchup, mustard, sweet pickle relish added as condiments. It’s just not possible to beat the classic. Even the bad ones are satisfying, and the best ones take me back to eating my dad’s burgers on a lazy weekend when I was a kid. > [@Broomstick](#): > > The ONLY sandwich on which I combine both meat and cheese would be a braunsweiger and cheese sandwich. I’m indifferent to the type of bread used, although most typically it is whole wheat. Next choice would be a rye or pumpernickel. The addition of mustard as a condiment is optional. Otherwise I don’t mix meat and cheese. My “foodie” answer is braunschweiger with thick cream cheese and a touch of ketchup between two slices of toasted rye bread. This was my mom’s go-to sandwich and I developed a love for it as well. She’d eat with a pickled egg, but that’s bridge too far for my tastes. ---

Turkey and Swiss on a Kaiser roll with Dijon mustard, tomato, and lettuce Or is it brown mustard? It’s been a long time since I’ve had one. Was my default deli order back in 1997-1999.
