This one's for you, Rubiksnoob. Post any and all things sandwich related here. And you ladies, feel free to describe the sammiches that you like to make for your hard working man.
But seriously folks. Call me old fashioned, but a perfect grilled cheese sandwich is really a little bit of heaven on earth.
It would appear to be some sort of southern Barbecue sandwich, which I haven't had in years but I'm now calculating how long it would take to drive to Georgia and get one.

Right you are my friend ..drive over anytime,I'll buy the sandwiches..you buy the beer.
Love honey oat bread with sweat onion sauce over mixed salad, spiced Mexican cheese, ginger and mango cheddar, and all the sliced spicy meat you can fit in to the sandwich. Finished off by lightly toasting.
Failing that, I love a toasted peanut butter and chocolate spread sandwich.
Though for the king of simple, tasty sandwiches, you need look no further than ham and cheese on an ultra fresh French loaf.

Actually, saying that, I wouldn't mind a go on that Philly Cheese-steak thing...
Oh no Alby,I would never slag of the cuisine from across the pond...as a native son of New Orleans,I'm always up for new food experiences...hell,I'll eat a pigs ass through a park bench if it's seasoned properly and has enough hot sauce on it.

I plan a road trip across the southern states to visit some family in Atlanta and up through Kentucky in summer of 2012, so I may just take you up on that someday!
2012... Monster Rain and FITZZ meeting... world ends 6 months later... coincidence?

I kid. Fish and Chips are, if you will allow me to use the term, brilliant. I'm a pretty big fan of Scotch Eggs and Bangers and Mash too. I eat a lot of Pub Food I'm realizing.

I've never had tripe, actually. In fact, I don't know anyone who has. It looks fething foul!
To be honest, I think the American idea of British food is informed by perceptions that are pretty out of date. I mean, we eat a variety of different things - most Brits eat home-cooked Italian food in particular, quite often. We eat burgers, pizza... all the same junk that you guys eat, really!
Granted, some of our home-grown dishes are a bit stodgy and plain - but that's why we like them! I think that, up until fairly recently, there's been the idea here that food being 'fun' is a little juvenile, and that food is just for sustenance. But yeah, increasingly it seems that Brits are actually pretty adventurous in their eating habits - this month alone in the Albatross household we've cooked Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Italian, Indian and Mexican food...

I hate Scotch Eggs. They're just fething wrong. I DO love a bit of haggis though, and I like black pudding a great deal. Nothing really beats fish and chips for me, though. Perhaps a Full English Breakfast.
Plus, our sausages are just unbeatable. If you ever come to the UK, grab your self a nice sausage sandwich with plenty of ketchup. Awesome.

Hey! I'm the victim here, quit blaming me, fascist!
Yeah, I play Orks in 40K. Just started Necromunda - bought some Delaques recently, purely because I'm sick of charging headlong into certain death every game!
See, I'm thinking with the British track record regarding cuisine, maybe I should be Famine? I'm thinking perhaps MR should be War, as everyone knows he's a Neo-Con fascist gun-nut....

I would just like to take this oppurtunity to thank Monster Rain for creating such a fantastic thread. Things of true beauty don't come along very often, and we should all be thankful for such a gem of a thread. It is almost enough to bring a tear to one's eye.
Down here in good old NC we have this quite fantastic restaurant, Showmars.
They make the most fantastic pita burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches known to man.
This was the only pic I could find. Just imagine it 100 times bigger and delicious.

Pastrami made in house and hand carved, piled high on rye bread with golden mustard.....
My Missus,who is a Brooklyn native,states that the Pastrami on rye served at the Bodega Deli on Broadway is quite nice as well,next time we visit NYC. I'll have to give one a try.
I doubt I could manage even a quarter of that thing (and that's assuming the restaurant provide a knife and fork to eat it with!). I wonder if that chap ended up eating it all?

The epicest I've ever had was a corned beef sandwich from the Carnegie deli in NYC. There's like 2 pounds of meat on that thing, for reals.
But my favoritest is probably The Bobby from a deli chain around here called Cipriati's or something like that. It's thanksgiving on a hoagie roll. Fresh roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and turkey gravy. It will cure any kind of insomnia you've been having...
I'd love Genos or Pats if they weren't in the city. Yuck.
Jim's is good, but I prefer Main Street Pizza in Norristown, I tried like every pizza place around me that I could find and these guys are the best. They're a little far and it's always kinda cold by the time I get mine though :(
Here's my sandwich combo, 2 slices of Winnipeg style rye bread, spread mayo and and honey mustard on both sides, place lettuce on each side as well, then 2-4 slices of beer sausage and finish off with a slice of Havarti cheese.
I think that's a kebab. In which case, yes there will be bacon in there, along with the minced bi product of several other animals all combined and compacted together to make one new super meat.
Which is then packed together like so....
And heated then reheated every night to serve the drunken lot who fall out of the clubs at 4am. By the time you get there it's probably been there for several weeks and your getting the bit in the middle which has sat there sweating away with your name on it.
My personal favorites usually involve hitting up one of those off the beaten path, hole in the wall smokehouses in Texas, and getting some brisket. Usually a good pound or so. Piling it on some Wonderbread with some extra sauce is the way to go. Of course, the bread is just a formality. It helps cut down on the mess so's that ya don't scare off the womenfolk.
The only good thing the French made...... well its called a French Dip, dunno how French it really is. I dont care though, Ill murder for one of these. But I always have provolone cheese melted on it dammit thats tasty
Well if you consider that a large kebab can be up to 2000 calories that will mean you will have to run at a pace of about 5 minutes per mile for 20 miles to burn it off!!
Yes, the waist line will increase a wee bit after a kebab.

Um.. isn't that the basic definition of "sandwich"?
I suppose you're right, but I think for it to really qualify (especially if you want to consider it epic) it needs have a little more variety with the fillings.

DAMMIT! Im so friggin hungry right now. Curse this thread
I am pretty simple when it comes to sandwiches- my normal is peanut butter.
my favorite is cheese in a footlong subway roll. No meat, salad, extra cheese, sauce, toasted, or different types of bread. Roll+cheese=my heaven.
Mind you This is a Sub Way Sandwich
Foot long Meatball on Italian herb and cheese light on the sauce
with Cheddar
olives green peppers and onions
Toast it
salt pepper oil vinegar Parmesan cheese oregano and sweet onion sauce.
Not only is it real but its stupidly easy to make...
Im going to go with a liquidised reduction of tinned tomato's and a little vegetable stock infused with some oregano, basil and maybe a bayleaf smeared over a halfed baguette with a 3:2 ratio of mozzarella and cheddar sprinkled on top and some sliced smoked firm sausage with a semblance of pepperoni on top then probably grilled until melted.
The baguette may have been toasted lightly beforehand.
I love me some Pizza sandwich. Best to fold it in half (like a normal sandwich)
A breakfast sandwich served at Rumbletums, in Burton On Trent, Staffs, which comprises a whole loaf of bread, eight slices of bacon, four sausages, three eggs, half a pound of cheese, a can of baked beans, plus mushrooms

The above is a great sandwich and is the only way I can consume a fry up without being sick.
a quality gyros/souvlaki is my favourite probably.
Coming close with a turky/lettuce/mushroom/cheese/cranberry on rye..
or a really good quality salami with salad on a spelt roll..
If you're ever down in Philly, look up Nick's Roast Beef. Seriously the best hot roast beef sandwich you will ever have.
They pretty much just serve roast beef sandwiches all day long. They roast their beef all day long and have the bestest gravy on top. And ya gotta get the gravy fries too.
Don't worry about the chest pains you get later, thats just your belly thanking you and has nothing to do with your heart at all.
Yes, a classic, if you can get 'plain bread' down in Englandshire it makes it so much better, so doughy and nice tough crust
and Marshmallow fluff?? you Americans are strange, you want the nice crispy shells of the marshmallow
Is that a french fry sandwich?...I've actually had them before ,though they appeared a bit different than the one pictured,I thought they were pretty tasty.
...and if you think marshmallow fluff is odd...you should see some of the things we ate in New Orleans.

Unnecessary perceived hostility aside... Why not? I'm pretty sure that the occasional fluffernutter is the root cause of the childhood obesity epidemic.

Actually, I tend to blame the parents that buy the children the unhealthy food that they otherwise wouldn't be able to purchase themselves. Different strokes I guess.
The only crazy clown I want to hear about is Captain Spaulding!

thats the thing, if it's at school the parent has no control over what they eat
and Captain spaulding?
but back on topic, my favorite sandwich so far has been a Coronation chicken baguette from the deli down the hill, looks just like this, but no butter, you don't put butter on cold filled baguetttes
Just fries in a bun? I don't see the point when there's so many awesome meats that could and/or should be in there too... But I guess if you're the vegitarian type.
Fish sticks, fries, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and a little ketchup.. now I'd buy that for a dollar.
Automatically Appended Next Post: and btw, I was planning to have steak for dinner tonight but this thread inspired me to make my own epic sandwich for dinner!
I stopped at my local Panera bread on the way home and got an asiago cheese demi, like a baguette that's half as long. I took my steak and sliced it into teeny thin slices, sauteed it with some onions, salt, pepper & garlic and added some KC Masterpiece at the end. Topped with shreaded "taco" flavored cheddar cheese. It was messy, my shirt is stained, but my belly is full. Horray!
I made patties of ground pork, added diced grilled jalapenos and onions, threw in a healthy amount of seasoned salt, garlic and black pepper and just a dash of barbecue sauce, then topped with fried cabbage, sliced onions and jalapenos that were lightly grilled and healthy blobs of barbecue sauce, served on onion rolls with pickles on the side. I am full of pig and yum First time cooking for my new roommate too.

That's essentially what I am right now I'm a fem guy living with a somewhat unfem female. Had my first job interview in a month today. I'm quite considerate of people's needs (pickled things allegedly relieve muscle cramps and my roomie is on her period hence I chose food that would go well with pickles), I'm capable of cleaning stuff, I'm great at organizing things, I give awesome massages and, well, other things So yeah, barring the whole rock star thing panning out I have a bright future as a house-partner(s).
Thanks for that, dude. I'm in a growth spurt and had just got done eating, and now I am hungry again....
You know, the Sandvich is an invention of lazy-ness, greed, and politeness all rolled into one:
The Earl of Sandvich was having a game of Cards at his house when he suddenly decided he was hungry. However, as all meals were sit down meals, he did not want to interrupt the game between him and his gentlemen. He also had a really good hand, which further made him want to play the game still. So, much to everyone's surprise, he asked his maid to fetch him two peices of bread and a couple of slices of meat, and as everyone watched in amazement, he made the worlds first ever sandvich.
Looks as though some one has set a trap for Paul Sawyer (Fat Bloke).
..drive over anytime,I'll buy the sandwiches..you buy the beer.
