"Nov. 3 is the anniversary of John Montagu's birthday. It's believed that this 18th-century English noble, better known as the fourth Earl of Sandwich, wanted to eat with one hand during a 24-hour gambling bender. So, he instructed his servants to serve him his lunch meat between two pieces of bread. To celebrate the occasion, Nov. 3 is officially "National Sandwich Day."

Mmm, mmm! BLT on toasted onion rye bread, with a dab of mayonnaise and plenty of mustard! :wub:

I don't think I could eat it with one hand, though.

My favourite always takes me back to the first time someone made it for me, at a place I learnt several things about food.

Sausage(preferably rather garlicky and pesto on toasted and buttered ciabatta.

My favorite is the Newark Style Italian Hot dog. Invented and unique to a few counties in North Jersey.

Got to go with the BLT, on good non-toasted wheat bread, with a slice of a big, vine-ripened tomato, so big one thick slice covers the slice of bread, with Petit Jean Meats' peppered bacon, leaf lettuce, Hellman's mayo, the full-fat variety, please, and a few slices of avocado if I happen to have it handy.

Or just the bacon and tomato and mayo on the bread.
Don't ask. Eat it.

It's a wonderful fish for a toasted sandwich. I never by mahi-mahi because of cost, and the fact their population is suffering. I recall catching them from a boat while vacationing in Cuba as a kid. We cooked some at sea and ate them with fruit.

I think the red dish makes the pomegranates really stand out in the photo.
