    I am a fan of the classic BLT with Hellman's mayo

    Good crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, tomatoes.

    Or you could have the Monte Cristo

    That is my hubby's favorite :)

    My favorite sandwich is made by a deli near where I work. They call it the New Yorker. It is thin sliced pastrami and turkey with swiss cheese on a sub roll and they use Russian dressing rather than mayo or mustard along with lettuce and tomato. Yum!

    Hi-fibre white loaf with Red Leicester cheese and home made coleslaw gets my vote. Flora Light marg, scrape it on scrape it off. Only time to have a good butter is when you have chip butty (fried spuds to those left of the pond)

    The other thing that we have here that I absolutely love for a lunch (big lunch though) is the Muffaletta Sandwich. It is a staple in New Orleans.


    A typical muffuletta consists of one muffuletta loaf, split horizontally. The loaf is then covered with a marinated olive salad, then layers of capicola, salami, mortadella, emmantaler, and provolone. The sandwich is sometimes heated through to soften the provolone.


    Yummy

    Anything from Subway really!

    Meatball Marianara with extra cheese! Yummy!

    My nephew likes tuna mayo on brown... with grapes in! It's pretty nice apparently!

    My sister used to work at a sandwich shop in New Orleans (20 years ago) that made soft shell crab sandwiches. They were good, but kind of creepy because their little legs used to hang over the bun.

    I am a hamburger gal myself. We have a place called Kelly's here that makes a Sod Buster burger. It is a fat burger with bacon and white american cheese with Ranch dressing then whatever you put with (lettuce, pickles, etc.) I always go home with a sore belly after eating there.

    Emland agrees: Muffalettas are great, but I am too lazy to make them.

    I am too... But when in doubt hire out!!

    How bads this I've never been in a subway I'm a bit of a sucker for the traditional deli's that make sarnys :D but I have to admit I'm curious about a meatball sub now lol.

    As for tuna mayo and grapes that's rather odd lol but hell if he eats it then what the heck huh

  • Aug 14, 2007, 01:36 AM
    curlybenswife
    Trust me Iam there's a reason we will never have miricle whip lol our food standards would never allow it because of what it contains Miracle Whip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    And that's what it says about french dip ;) French dip sandwich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Oooh, French Dip sounds nice... Miracle Whip sounds... horrible! Ha ha, sorry!

    Ever since watching Blues Brothers as a child I've wondered just how horrible cheese in a squirty can is!
  • Aug 14, 2007, 01:52 AM
    curlybenswife
    Yeah I don't get miricle whip to be honest either lol as for squirty cheese yuck is all I can say if its anything like those vile cheese strings that can stay in america too giggle.

    Ah, I was on a two week long course without internet access! It was a nice break to be honest! Lol! Back at work now though! Boooo! Although, saying that I've got 2 weeks holiday starting on Thursday with V Festival this weekend! Woohooo!

    My parent's weren't the richest when I was a kid, and I used to love what my Mum called 'Dippy Bread'... this involved frying bacon for a sandwich for my Dad then soaking up the fat and cooking oil on more bread and feeding it to me and my brother!

    Now that may sound harsh, but it was LOVELY! Actually, I might have a crack at it this weekend!
  • Aug 14, 2007, 02:24 AM

    Ok I forgive you I start wondering when people disappear if someone's upset them :)
    Dippy bread for us is what id call eggy bread now hehehehehe weird isn't it how we all have different meanings for a name.
  • Aug 14, 2007, 02:30 AM
    iAMfromHuntersBar
    Yeah, when I've explained it to people before they've likened it to eggy bread... but that's with eggs and not bacon! Ha ha!
  • Aug 14, 2007, 02:45 AM

    Sounds more like one of my faves.
    Fried Slice, but without the frying.

    Do your bacon then soak up the fat with bread and fry it till golden brown.
    Works best with thick cut white bread.

    If you go to Philly for one be sure to order it right!!

    Chicken or turkey, bacon and cheese (mozzerella or cheddar)
    On toast with mayo yummmmmmm

    Or if you want the original version
    By my former boss

    Original Devonshire Sandwich

    Cream Sauce:

    * 3/4 stick butter, melted
    * 1 cup flour
    * 1/4 pound Cheddar cheese, grated
    * 1 pint chicken broth
    * 1 pint hot milk
    * 1 teaspoon salt

    For each sandwich:

    * 1 slice good toast, crusts trimmed off
    * 3 slices crisp bacon
    * 5 thin slices cooked turkey breast
    * Cream Sauce, recipe above
    * Melted butter
    * Parmesan cheese and paprika

    To make the Cream Sauce: Melt 3/4 stick butter in deep pan and add flour, stirring constantly. Add chicken broth and then hot milk and salt, for 20 minutes, still stirring. Cool to lukewarm. Beat with wire whip until smooth before using. This makes enough sauce for 6 Devonshire sandwiches.

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In each flat, individual oven-proof casserole dish, place 1 slice of toast and top with 3 slices bacon. Add 5 thin slices of cooked turkey breast. Cover completely with cream sauce. Sprinkle with a little melted butter, then with the combined Parmesan cheese and paprika. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
