Let's Talk Sandwiches!

[CLEVELandMILIDH]

I take white bread, coat with Miracle Whip. Then add 3 slices of bologna, with a slice of pepper-jack cheese and top with lettuce.

I realize its pretty involved, but well worth the time.

[Represent]

Hard Salami, Honey baked ham, Munster or Swiss Chesse, Miracle Whip

Egg Salad Sandwiches

The Classic BLT

All 3 of these are my favorite sandwiches tho Rebuens are way up there also i love em all

I like that too.....but I do a bit better.

I use real mayo and pan fry the bologna.....Alabama "Steak" sammie's are good.

I do get the deli person to cut 1/4 in thick slices....they fry down.

[CLEVELandMILIDH]

Im not a fan of Mayo but I have had it with the fried bologna. If your gonna get that involved you have to fry up a egg and put it on

there to. I don't know how I would've gotten through my teen years without a fried bologna and egg sammich.

i haven't had miracle whip in 30 years since leavin ohio. not big in new york. now i'm hooked on hellman's, but only on certain sandwiches. i'm more the mustard lettuce tomato type guy. here they make italians combos whereas in ohio we called them subs. nothin like the 'regular' sub at the pizza house west in sandusky, ohio. ham, salami, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato and onions with sweet and sour sauce. flippin awesome!

i freak out my friends with the ol' bologna, ketchup salt n pepper on white bread. loads of ketchup so it drips out the sides!

A simple grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup for lunch.

yeah man. i still dip the sandwich in the soup like a little kid. good stuff.

aren't hoagies the chicago term or does cleveland use that as well?

also i know it's really not a sandwich but the chicago style hot dog is the shit! with the tomatoes and sport peppers......slammin. got hooked on those when i worked in tempe, az. a guy retired from chicago to there and had a little sandwich cart he pulled behind his truck. line was around the block. 'fat pat's hot dogs. i'll never forget it. i used to go back to the print shop with my forehead sweatin and it wasn't because it was 103 degrees outside.

I used to just sandwhiches since I started my cutting diet back up. Most suck since it's mostly just grilled chicken or turkey, but I still manage a nice big egg sandwhich for breakfast with ham or sausage and today I had a homemade chili burger which was nice.

For me my favorite is a greasy pizza sub with pep ham bacon and Italian sausage with loads of pizza sauce. The kind you get from the local carry out or bowling ally and wolf down at work during your lunch break.

[FairHooker11]

Heres mine - kinda simple, on Sunday when Im grilling burgers for the kids, I grill a mess of chicken breasts seasoned with montreal chicken dust, cut them in strips for a weeks worth of lunches. .

I also precut the veggies like red,orange,yellow peppers, red onion, romaine lettuce and some tomatoes.

I put em together every morning on whole wheat bread or wrapped in a tortilla with a chipoltle sauce or a combo of Guldens spicy and mayo. Then keep them chilled for a day of work (usually in the heat) so a cold sandwich is easy to eat!

Ballpeen - thx for the ingredient list for the Cuban - Im sure it tastes as good as it sounds...

[htownbrown]

Muffalettas and po'boys.......nothing compares. Got to buy them because it would cost too much for all the ingredients just to make one. I couldn't even replicate these coonass's recipes even if I tried.

yikes. keep 911 on speed dial. the closest i come to that nowadays when wantin a real old 'classic' is the pizza burger. pre-made with the mozzarella in the middle of it and enough sauce to keep the bun top sliding off.

as far as a cajun sandwich we have a local cajun restaurant that makes a fried crawfish po' boy with the creole mayo, lettuce and tomato on a fresh french baguette. best fresh crawfish i've ever had: lake ponchatrain crawfish festival in hammond, la back in 82. 3 of us drove down from fort knox, ky (first duty station) and had one of the best weekends of my life. somethin about a southern girl with that little twang of an accent. grrrrrr!

The Ghoolie.............

1) Take a load of unsliced Italian Bread. cut off the ends just where they expand to the full height of the loaf. Shove those ends up someone's ass, I don't use them.

2) Cut the loaf in half lengthwise.

3) Butter the fkuck out of both ends and put buttered ends down on hot grill. Grill until crisp golden brown.

4) Flip bread into a warming pan, crust side down, put pepper jack cheese slices to cover bread and let it slowly melt.

5) Once cheese melts sprinkle well done, crushed crisp bacon chunks to get sucked up in cheese.

6) Place on each slice of bread one well fried egg.

7) Add two medium cooked 1/2 pound hamburger patties made with PRIME ground filet mignon or NY strip meat

Spread home made Aeoli (equal parts mayo, grey poupon, squeezed garlic, orange slice, lemon slice)

9) Spread a dry-ish hand made colw slaw

10) Slop on hand cut, fresh french fries

11) Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion

Feast on Ghoolie's favorite. THAT, is a badd ass sammich!

My arteries are clogging just reading that. But damn it sounds good.

I second the classic BLT, especially with our own tomatoes.

The other favorite is, just make some Calfox special:

(it's easy to double the recipe,eh?)

1 package of sage sausage (the tube packages like Jimmy Dean)

coarsely chopped green tomatoes, I use about two medium sized

3 or 4 sweet peppers

Brown the sausage, get it out of the pan, get all the grease out, put it back in,

add green tomatoes and peppers. Add a little salt if you want, I do. Sometimes a pinch of black pepper.

I like it heavier on the sausage than the veggies. The veggie amount is personal taste/preference.

slop @@ it onto a hoagie bun, with a tall mug of iced root beer.

The Manny's Special from 6th Street in downtown Cleveland was always a favorite of mine. Pastrami and cole slaw on rye.

funny how thing are different just because of the geographical area you are in.

in NY we just call that sausage and peppers. same recipe basically w/o the cheese. we cook it every saturday at the local dive bar.

tomorrow we're doing a tray of that and a bushel of littleneck clams (some shucked raw some steamed with white wine, lemon, garlic and butter) hot dogs (the kind with the natural casing so you get that snap when you bite into em)with all the xtras, corn on the cob and because it's the kickoff of college football: maine lobsters served with drawn butter and lemon wedges. everything on the grill outside. gearing up for it already.

just a fun little gathering amongst friends who enjoy eating and drinking and rooting for their team on the big screen (or rooting for a point spread like a friend of mine).
