I made one of my favorite sandwiches today.

I am not much of a sandwich person but there are a few that I would/have/do make for myself at home:

After Thanksgiving - leftover turkey on white bread with mayo, salt and lots of black pepper.

Ripe tomato on white bread with mayo, S&P.

Ripe tomato on toasted multigrain with mayo, S&P, lettuce, avocado, sprouts and bacon doesn't hurt!

Tuna salad sandwich.

Banana and peanut butter or banana and mayo.

Grilled cheese - infinite variations.

As a kid we used to have a huge garden and often had ripe tomato BLTs then we would also add whatever other veggies fresh from the garden - onion, bell pepper slices, cucumber slices, radishes.

Fried egg on toast.

Egg Salad sandwich.

When I go out I like italian sandwiches with ham, pepperoni, salami, etc. but they never taste the same when I make them at home. Nor do Banh mi. Or my favorite from the mediterranean deli - hummus, tomato, pickles (their pickles are perfect), lettuce, and tahini.

Egg salad sandwich with crispy bacon on white toast. Egg salad is hard cooked eggs, Hellman's mayo, minced onion, minced celery and s&p, with maybe a little Old Bay added in.

Also, crisp cooked bacon on one-side-only toasted white bread with ketchup.

In cooler weather, a Croques Monsieur with caraway split-pea soup.

In warmer weather, warmed whole-wheat pita with mayo, bacon, cheddar, tomato, and spicy (alfafa and radish) sprouts.

Very favorite, but time intensive: 64^o SV egg yolks on buttered white toast with bacon, S&P. The yolks spread like lemon curd. Before SV I used to cook the eggs medium in my Chef's Choice egg cooker, but it was hard to get a consistent yolk with a white that would peel off relatively easily. The SV eggs allow for "rinsing" off the white under a stream of warm water. I can hardly believe my mother was able to achieve almost the same results with carefully fried eggs (yolk just cooked enough where I could disect off the whites) while I was growing up.

Photo happens to show bacon jam rather than bacon.

While looking up more info on Deviled Egg day (today) I discovered that tomorrow is National Sandwich Day...so what's on the menu?

[ddelima]

Anything mortadella! Mortadella and cheese is my favorite... no pistachio BTW. Fried thin mortadella slices folded in squares, with melted cheese on top of it, on a French baguette.

Three friends will be visiting for lunch so I am preparing Cuban sandwiches. I baked some Cuban bread, roasted a small pork tenderloin and have a nice chunk of black forest ham.

Swiss cheese is traditional but I have some nice provolone from IGourmet and am breaking out a jar of my bread and butter pickles because we like them.

I'm going to use my vintage Sunbeam sandwich press as it heats more evenly than the newer ones.

If I didn't think it would cause major marital discord to bring yet another appliance into the house I'd get a sandwich press. As it is I have to muddle along with smooshing sandwiches in need of toasting between two cast iron pans.

Xili-I honestly don't think I've ever had mortadella, I always get sidetracked by the prosciutto at the deli counter

Andi-Did you know that it was National Sandwich Day tomorrow? Or you are you just that prepared for sandwich making all the time...lol...

Open-faced sandwich on whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter, tomato, lettuce, salt and black pepper.

Pita sandwich with chickpeas, onions, tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, shredded lettuce, feta cheese, etc. with a yogurt sauce.

Toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese, tomatoes, and sweet onion.

Tuna mixed with mayonnaise, cumin powder, lemon juice, black olives, roasted red peppers, green chiles, etc. on a crusty baguette, topped with melted extra sharp cheddar.

Open-faced chicken sandwiches with sliced chicken breast, mixed with BBQ sauce, on a baguette topped with sliced onion and melted cheddar.

[ScoopKW]

Grilled jerked* chicken breast, bias cut into strips, served on grilled, buttered, mayo'd homemade sourdough bread with garden tomatoes and butter lettuce. No cheese. Cheese would ruin this sandwich.

In my opinion, this is the ultimate sandwich.

I make a mean muffaletta, too. But nothing says "comfort food" to me like a sourdough jerk chicken sandwich.

*Busha Browne's jerk seasoning. Accept no substitutes.

[Ashen]

For me nothing beats WalkersWood jerk paste , except maybe when I dry rub my homemade smoked scotch bonnet powder into the meat first before rubbing with walkserswood paste. I do that on a pork loin every once in awhile and then slow smoke it over hardwood. My Jamacian bro-in-law is always wanting me to make more of it for him.

[threestars]

Sounds good. But why would the cheese ruin the sandwich?

[boudin noir]

Not my favorate, but good for me once in a while: liverwurst with grape jelly on toast. Also anchovies, swiss cheese, chili pepper flakes and mayo on rye toast. The latter is pretty high up on my prefered list.

Wow, I haven't thought of that for years. My mom used to serve that for breakfast sometimes.

I had planned on today's lunch menu a couple of weeks ago, not knowing about Sandwich day.

Two of my friends are from south Florida and asked if I had planned on making Cuban sandwiches,(big hint) which I often do when they visit. They all live in Cambria and are on their way to Phoenix for some kind of convention on Sat. & Sun. and are making a few fun stops along the way. Right now they are finishing breakfast and waiting for an antique store in Tehachapi to open... Ah, the joy of cell phone communications!

Cold sandwich: tuna fish guacamole with queso fresco, a nice slice of black tomato, and plenty of salt.

Are you saying "tuna fish, guacamole, with queso fresco"? Or do you have a recipe for tuna fish guacamole. Because if you do, I'd like to know more about it.

Nope, I'm saying "tuna fish guacamole, with queso fresco." Tuna-based guacamole begins with a tin of chunk-light tuna, drained of its water or oil. This goes into the bowl with one or two nicely ripe avocadoes, a squirt of mayo (home-made preferred), and finely chopped dill pickles or dilled carrots. Squeeze a lime into that, and mash until smooth-ish. Add fresh chopped basil, parsely, and toronjil (lemon verbena), and stir again. Taste. If it seems to be lacking a certain something, try a couple of drips of Worcestershire sauce.

Spread that on your fresh bread of choice, slap on the cheese and tomato, salt, and you're good to go!

I do that on a pork loin every once in awhile and then slow smoke it over hardwood. My Jamacian bro-in-law is always wanting me to make more of it for him.

I've tried them both, and I prefer the Busha Browne's Walkerswood paste (octagonal jar, red script, pith helmet dude on front) to Walkerswood paste (yellow and red bottle, mom with cradle on front (always thought that was weird)).

I'd post pictures, but I can't find any that aren't obviously copyrighted.

Try it next time and let me know how it goes. I love prosciutto too :-)

[Genkinaonna]

The sandwich today...was in cookie form!

Chocolate chip walnut sandwich cookie with cream cheese filling...Happy Sandwich Day! What can I say, my husband wanted Korean Grilled Chicken for dinner...

[Shalmanese]

Apples, cured pork product (salami, prosciutto, etc), sharp cheese (cheddar, manchego, etc.) and grainy mustard. There's something about that combination that wins me over every time.

My lunch today is a roast beef panini, made on ciabatta garlic bread with leftover prime rib, sauteed mushrooms and onions, crumbled blue cheese, and sliced provolone.
