I've been looking to up my sandwich game for awhile now. I'm not sure how I should go about improving my sandwiches though. What kind of stuff do you gafers put in your sammies?

 

[owlbeak]

Hummus and avocado!

 

[GodofWine]

Bacon.

 

[SwiftDeath]

I'm fairly plain with my sandwiches usually like good sourdough bread, good provolone, roast beef and then maybe some hot peppers or something on it after it's been cooked

My old roommate worked at a soup and sandwich place in Charlottesville, VA. Revolutionary Soup. He was fucking around on a quiet night and made a weird sandwich. The owner agreed to tape it up on the menu and it blew up. Now it has a permanent spot. It's amazing.

Turkey, bacon, chevre, arugula, garlic aioli, sliced apples, house made apple butter on sunflower wheat bread.

It's one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten.

That sounds amazing

Pepper
And finally a light olive oil coating on top of it.

 

[JBourne]

That sounds amazing

Totally. Here's a picture I stole from Yelp:

Their soup is equally amazing. I usually get a small cup of tomato basil bisque to go with the sandwich.

Best Sandwich of all time

 

[Smithy C]

Brown bread, mature cheddar, tomato, lettuce, red onion, pickle and pesto. Being a vegetarian somewhat limits sandwiches, but this is my go-to.

Or just two slices of bread and some crisps if I'm feeling lazy.

 

[vatstep]

Relevant: I learned today that there is such a thing as dill relish. I have only ever had "sweet" relish. Mind blown.

So yeah, maybe some dill relish.

 

[hodayathink]

Truthfully, the main ingredients of a Subway Italian BMT (ham, pepperoni, salami) and then I go crazy with the bread, spread and/or cheese. Bacon or prosciutto if I'm feeling really froggy.

 

[robotrock]

Hummus and avocado!

This sounds smart.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Anything and everything made by Boar's Head.

 

[Bo Knows GAF]

Peanut butter + Jelly. Boom.

Vegetarian leaves a lot of good options for sandwiches. It's when you go vegan or even worse vegan+gluten free that the options become grim.

With dairy though, especially if you don't mind eggs with it? You can make some amazing sandwiches.

I don't like sweet pickles. At all. Except in Relish.

You'd think Dill relish would be amazing. It sucks. Just doesn't work.

 

[Busaiku]

Spinach
Avocado
Cucumber
Red Bell Pepper
Any type of cheese x2
Honey Oat or Wheat bread

 

[HardRojo]

Tamales. I put them on my sandwiches for a great Sunday breakfast.

 

[vikki]

Peanut butter + Jelly. Boom.

I'm pretty sure peanut butter and jelly is what lead to the Big Bang.

 

[DJ_Lae]

My two standbys are fairly straightforward. From bottom slice/bun to top:

-cranberry sauce, deli or leftover turkey, Havarti, lettuce, mayo
-guacamole or avocado slices, chicken, bacon, tomato, lettuce

I'll toss other stuff on if I have it. I also love a nice ham or salami sandwich with sliced peppers sautéed in olive oil, oregano, and balsamic or red wine vinegar.

 

[terrisus]

Get up to Piantedosi's in Malden, MA and get some spuckies.
Good bread makes all the difference.

Then, put in some salami (hard and genoa) and cheese (swiss and provolone) and some mustard (I prefer yellow, but your tastes may vary), and you're good to go.

 

[onken]

Brie, cranberry sauce, walnuts, basil.

 

[Osiris]

I was going to say Ham and Pickle.

But then I remembered that you American types don't know the joy of Branstons Pickle and would probably think I was sticking a Gherkin in with my smoked ham, yeah... no.

Other than that, Tuna, Sweetcorn & Mayo, Chicken and Coleslaw, Blue Cheese & Walnut are all good options.

Ham and Mustard (Must be Coarse grain!) is godly too.

My sandwich needs more. Lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, mayo or oil depending on the meat. The bread is very important though. VERY IMPORTANT!

 

[Wanace]

Today I had a hummus and spinach sandwich on wheat. Thought it would be unsatisfying but it was delicious.

 

[Ortix]

mayo, cheese, tomato, egg, lettuce mostly

 

[watershed]

Try smoked salmon and avocado with some mustard and whatever else you like.

Say Pickle when you talk about that spread or whatever the fuck ungodly garbage that is. Say pickles when you mean sliced pickles.

You mean sliced, pickled cucumber. (Or Gherkin)

Pickling is a process, not a vegetable.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Egg Sandwich

Healthy version:

Whole wheat/multigrain bread or english muffin
One egg
Salt and pepper
Hot sauce if you want it
Kale or lettuce and tomato optional

The works version:

Bagel OR Panera Bread (Tomato Basil is the GOAT)
Two eggs
Two slices of cheese (Pepperjack is my choice)
Bacon if you're into that
Salt and pepper
Again, hot sauce if you want it
Kale/lettuce and tomato optional

 

[Man God]

Before I grew accustomed to tomato on my sandwiches I used to replace them with Avocado on my BLT's, making them a BLA instead. Now I go for BLATs and there is no more satisfying summer meal than a BLAT with a nice side salad and a glass of iced tea.

 

[Azulsky]

Fried Oyster Poboy on French is apex predator.

I also must permit the Muffaletta

I'm pretty sure peanut butter and jelly is what lead to the Big Bang.

No that was PB + Chocolate

 

[joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

The king of sandwiches:
The Reuben

Corned Beef (or Pastrami if that floats your boat)
Swiss Cheese
Sauerkraut
Thousand Island dressing
on Rye bread

It's a hot sandwich so the cheese gets all melty and the bread is toasted. Yes!

 

[Log4Girlz]

You mean sliced, pickled cucumber. (Or Gherkin)

Pickling is a process, not a vegetable.

And yet you crazies call your spread Pickle. It's madness I tell you.

 

[terrisus]

I'm not really a vegetable sort of person. And, mayonnaise is gross :þ
Oil's good though.

You're out in the Boston area, right?
Ever been to Piantedosi's?

 

[Man God]

In most of the free world you say pickles you mean pickled cucumber. It is known.

You say Pickled+whatever other nonsense when it is something that isn't a cucumber, i.e. Pickled Peppers, Pickled Herring, Pickled Onions.

Mayo is a necessary evil for the purposes of holding accessories to the bread. Uses for other purposes such as dipping french fries is the sign of a crazy person.

 

[Man God]

Most people who seem to not like mayo either have only had really cheap shit or have never had handmade mayo.

For commercial brands Helman's really is the best.

It is downright necessary on a BLT or turkey sandwich. Just a little bit on the bread and it pops the flavors.

 

[Regiruler]

I can't stand veggies or most spreads/sauces, so my sandwiching is fairly limited. That said, I'm incredibly picky over what bread I use.

 

[terrisus]

Mayo is a necessary evil for the purposes of holding accessories to the bread.

But... but mustard...

 

[HORRORSHØW]

open sandwich. toast, avocado, fried egg, parmesan cheese.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I'm a huge sandwich guy. Thanksgiving time is coming up which means I get to make aandwhiches of biscuit, turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, and stuffing. So good.

Normal sandwiches I make usually have a nice pepper jack or provolone cheese. I need to up my bread game though. Also I add chips or pickles to them (or both). That crunch is fabulous.
