Sloppy as all get out, but I remember finding it very delicious. Now, the very idea of bologna gags me. **Tsubaki** - if you’re in NYC any time, ring me up and I’ll grill you up sammitch anytime. **anenquiringmind** - I grew up in the south and I never heard of pineapple sandwiches, especially not with mayo. Banana, yes, especially with peanut butter. But pineapple? I don’t think so.:eek: ---

My favorite samwich of all time is tuna (with a bit of mayo, very finely sliced fresh celery, and salt and pepper) with munster cheese on toasted whole wheat bread. I like to lightly coat one side of toast with mayo, too. No one had named it after me yet, but I’ve turned many people onto this samwich. The munster cheese makes it special; also, you want to eat it fresh or else the bread gets soggy. ---

Mmmmmm…Reuben sam’mich. Another favorite here. Rye bread, or what ever you like. Salami Mustard Cheddar cheese Red onion Tomatoes Lays potato chips Build a basic sandwich with the ingredients listed above but… Put a layer of Lays potato chips under the top layer of bread. Eat and enjoy the crunchy feel and the salty taste of the chips in the sam’mich. Damned…I am hungry. Slee ---

Okay, now that I’ve offended everyone with my smartass remarks, here is The Sandwich. Take a rich, eggy, brioche or onion roll, or a fresh, buttery croissant. Split and lightly toast. Put some really good pesto in a bowl. Add the following and toss until coated with the pesto: [ul][li]Shredded chicken breast[/li][li]minced red onion or shallots[/li][li]minced oil-pack sun-dried tomatoes[/li][li]chopped roasted red bell pepper[/ul][/li] Spread a very thin layer of mayonnaise or butter on the roll to seal it; place a thick layer of pesto chicken on the roll; flatten slightly and eat, making contented noises. Lick fingers. ---

This is going to sound HORRIBLE, but honest it was the best sandwich I ever had. Thirty years ago, at Hymie’s Deli in Philadelphia, and I still remember it: Lean corned beef, bacon, and chopped chicken liver, on rye. I had perfectly normal cholesterol levels till I ate that one sandwich . . . ---

That sounds transcendent. Yummy! My personal favorite is the Oyster Loaf. Take a small French roll (about 12"), split it open and remove some of the inside of the bread, then coat with mayonnaise and dash liberally with Tabasco. Fill with a dozen batter-fried oysters. Eat. Mmmmmmmmmm… ---

I always go for the real killers. I love Monte Cristo sandwiches. (no, I don’t mind dying young ) Three cheeses, two meats ( turkey, ham ) Three slices of bread Maybe some kind of sauce Put sandwich together Dip in batter Deep fry until done. Serve with tall malt and french fries. Fill you up all day. ---

Diced red onion and tomatoes, mixed with lemon juice and chili powder, grilled between tow slices of lightly buttered bread Yum Yum! Either that or the #16 Italian at Togo’s 🙂 ---

My new latest invention: Lightly buttered bread. tomato slices & salsa on one peice, a veggie burger already cooked, slices of colby or pepper jack cheese, the other piece of bread. Grill it like a grilled cheese. (Sorry **Fenris** ;)) ---

Had this one at a restaurant on campus here…sloppy, but divine: [ul] [li]two slices of foccacia bread[/li][li]grilled chicken breast[/li][li]red onion[/li][li]lettuce[/li][li]mayo[/li][li]balsamic vinegar[/li][/ul] It just oozed goodness. If I were making it at home, I might add a couple of slices of swiss or provolone, and I’d be in sandwich bliss. ---

Traditional sandwich: really rare roast beef on light rye, with lots of salt and maybe a veneer of mayo if I’m feeling frisky. Unusual sandwich: Two tablespoons of cream cheese and a teaspoon of white sugar on Pepperidge Farm thin-sliced white bread. It’s like lunch and dessert all at once! ---

Discovered this one this summer: Italian bread cut in half like a sub roll Prosciutto Fresh mozzarella balls, cut in half Mayo Lettuce Diced onion Diced tomato A little ground pepper Mmm…perfect with a bag of Lay’s chips. ---

Not so much a sammich, but the most divine thing in the world is to get a super-crunchy frenchstick, slice it into thick chunks, spread (very) liberally with butter and then paste the Vegemite on top. Ahhhhhh, bliss. ---

The Good Morning Burger from Denny’s It’s expensive and artery clogging. Order a hamburger meal as well as a grand slam. Open hamburger up and place bacon, sausage, eggs, and whatever else comes with the slam. Place the pancakes around the variety of meats and then put the hamburger buns on top. Smother the middle with syrup. Enjoy [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favourite-sandwiches/102278.md?page=1)
