Your childhood sandwich?

I tried the bagel sandwich today, and I was quite pleased. Two thumbs up from this guy.

 

my childhood sandwich was pb&j. in my teens, i loved ham and cheese with mayo, and as an adult, i'm down with tuna melts - made one today with a bit of mayo, a couple teaspoons of dijon, five, six, seven dashes of hot sauce and pepper topped melted cheddar and pepper jack.

 

DTGDTN!

 

Feeling a mite peckish, spaceman?

 

All this talk of PB&Js and no love for apple jelly? It's soooo good.

 

You'd figure if there was any sammich spaceman would love, it would be (ahem) grilled cheese

 

HAHAHA Kan, you are Jewish! I'm right there with you!

On a related note, there's a deli near my old school that has remarkable sandwiches. It's a pretty well-known Jewish deli (not Jerry's), but I always get the philly cheesesteak.

Well, the day before my graduation, I took my dad there for the first time. He got the pastrami, corned beef and chopped liver on rye. And he made me take a bite.

Best f***in sandwich I've ever had...

 

If it's a real Jewish deli, there's no way in hell they'd serve a salami and cheese sandwich or a cheesesteak, as both of those violate kashrut (not kosher) and would be considered trafe

 

Guess it takes a food critic to point this out, but ...
6 PAGES AND NO LOVE FOR FRIED BOLOGNA? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Other points:
* I am a strict Miracle Whip man; no mayo please.
* I love fried bologna with just a smear of whip or also get down to raw bologna with a fresh sliced tomato from my garden and about two tablespoons of Whip -- messy, sweet and sensational.
* No debate over PBs? When I was a kid, it was crunchy Peter Pan only, but now I only go smooth and it has to be Jiff (the Pan is too sweet for me now). Every once in a while I will go crunchy, but usually regret it. Anyone else change brands or types of PB as they got older?
* My great grandmother (yes, she is alive -- 101 years old) made the best grilled cheese. She sliced Velveeta as thin as she could and only dabbed real stick butter on one slice. She then melted a tablespoon of the butter in the skillet until it sizzled and put the sandwich in dry side down. This is how I do them for my sons now and they are the best.
* Also surprised no one has mentioned crispy bacon on a grilled cheese. My bro-in-law did it when we had chili at their house one day and, at first, I thought it was blasphomy, but it was actually pretty damn good.
* and finally, I loved me some pickle and pimento loaf with Whip as a kid too.

Bon apetit!

 

I was going to ask to move in with your family until the last part. Barf.

But I'm a Whip girl, when I use anything...I usually just go with mustard. Mayo is gross. And my dad used to make me fried bologna growing up.

 

Balonga = disgusting.

...or at least it is to me now. I haven't been able to eat it since I was 8 and puked up my sandwich (some sort of kiddie flu).

 

the grilled with bacon is fucking brilliant.
