The Most Perfect Food

advertisement

It may be argued that pizza is the most perfect food. Some say soup. For nutritional value, many argue it is salad. For myself, I say that nothing can make me wax poetic like the Mac Daddy of all foods - the Sandwich!

Whether between two slices of bread, a bagle, a croissant or a muffin, there is nothing like the sensation of biting into a big old hand held mother load of goodness.

Most of you know I am from Pittsburgh, and the Primanti Sandwich is legendary with it's meat, fries and coleslaw all between two pieces of Italian bread. And it is quite possibly the best combination of tastes ever. But the possibilities are endless.

One of my all time favorite sandwiches includes turkey, ham, swiss and roasted red peppers on hearty whole grain bread.

What is YOUR favorite Sandwich?

Hmm, I'm not really into sandwiches, but there is ONE sub I like.

Tuna fish, with just the right amount of mayo. (Spare me the Miracle Whip; if it isn't mayo, then what the hell is it?) You can add a little relish if you like. The bread can be anything you want. Put on shredded cheddar cheese. Toast it until the cheese is melted. Then add fresh spinach leaves and tomato slices and close the sandwich.

I tried it with black olives once. Wouldn't recommend it. It wasn't bad, but the olives overpowered the rest of the flavor.

Got it at Subway.

Crap. Now I have to go to Subway today to get that sandwich.

Here's another one: Mind you, it is sickening.

The Spamwich

You get two pieces of toasted bread. You slice up spam and cook it. Drain the grease. Put a piece of cheese on one slice of bread. Put 2 pieces of spam. Put a piece of cheese on it. Put 2 more pieces of spam. Repeat until you run out of spam or how much you want. End it with a piece of cheese on top and the other piece of bread.

God, my husband LOVES Spam! Hot, cold, minced, sliced - and don't even TRY to feed him the low salt stuff! It's disgusting, but the single best selling meat product in Hawaii, don't cha know. They even have spam cookoffs!

As far as mayo - I'm wit cha. Just Say No to miracle whip!

Ok, got the tuna sub again. Tried it with bacon this time. I approve of it.

Downside: they ran out of spinach and I had to use iceberg lettuce. Nothing really against lettuce, it's just seems to dull the flavor of the sandwich.

Interesting you should mention that.

I really don't like much fast food--but the Subway tuna sandwich is , IMO, one of the best fast food items around-- I really like it! (I've cut down on the frequency of eating it though because of my concerns about Mercury in Tuna-- but darn-- it does taste good! :-)

Iceberg lettuce is faux lettuce-- try another type! :)

That's all Subway has: Iceberg lettuce or the baby spinach. And to go without completely makes the sandwich taste like it is missing something.

They know exactly the right amount of mayo to put in the tuna. I have had tuna at Blimpie's and other places and there is just too much mayo.

    Got another one for you that sounds sickening: Sardinewich.

    Just get a can of sardines (mine was always in water, never tried the oil or tomato versions) and put the fish in between bread. Tried it once with cheese and that didn't taste good. I found it funny because my friends all commented on how disgusting it was. Well, we were in a Catholic school and the seniors had this picnic. It was a friday during Lent and I brought my sardinewich. They kept scolding me. Meanwhile, a teacher comes up and ends up scolding my friends because they were eating chicken and meat and I get praised along with another friend (she brought couscous).

    And the irony is, I'm an atheist. I just like to bring in the sardinewich every Friday during Lent to piss off my friends and to make my mom happy.

    Absolutely. But, the sardines need to be between black bread. A nice pumpernickel. With tomato slices. Major league yum!

    I think with anything fatty (from hot dogs..to sardines) you need something "sharp" to cut the fat, so to speak. Two possibilities oocur to me -- mustard and/or onions.

    A agree about black pumpernickel-- its great for sardines (actually makes a lot of things taste great-- a wonderbread sandwich bread). And the heavier, denser, blackbread ist is -- the better!

      Ok, just tried Subway breakfast sandwich: Double bacon and cheese. One word: Don't.

      I had it on flatbread, which was disgusting. The egg had no taste. The bacon was good, but the egg actually dulled the flavors of the bacon and the cheddar cheese. I had to remind myself that there was cheese on there.

      On another note: their hash browns are suprisingly good.

        rofl! There's a thread out there, someone asking should we eat bugs, and I'm really close to doing my best to wank some people out, but I'm still hanging on being a nice guy. It's actually a pretty good thread, not a lot of goofballs like me, but I could have some fun there! Like my avatar, been there, done that! Some really are pretty tasty, gagging and giggle factor aside.

        But not crazy about soy milk, it's ok, but not a first choice, more tofu for you, but I love and will nearly disgrace myself for some top shelf caviar! Almost addicted to it! (*pinkgrins*!)

        OK, I have to say I had never thought about it until an episode of "Man vs. Food" came on, but on seeing it, decided to try a bacon cheese burger (cheddar cheese) with an "over-medium" egg on top.

        OMG!

        To start, you have to cook it like...Medium Rare or Medium and the reason I say that is because you want it juicy - no dry, well done meat here.

        Some good crispy bacon (preferably hickory) with cheese melted over top it...

        And then get the egg (with some salt/pepper) so that the yellow is still runny, the white is not (no snot eggs...YUCK).

        stick that carefully on top of the bacon/cheese burger, lightly put the top bun on (prefer potato buns, but whatever), and take that first bite.

        The juicy burger, crispness of the bacon, and the egg flavor coating it all....

        Alright, I know it's not the healthiest, but man it's good!!!

        Put bacon on ANYTHING and I'll eat it. I never met a slice of bacon I didn't like. Just recently heard of lamb bacon. Haven't tried it but can't wait to try and find it. Oh, and to my way of thinking two porks are better than 1. Ham sandwich WITH bacon good. Pulled pork sandwich WITH bacon, good!

        I like sandwiches, but they don't fall into my perfect food category. I guess a BLT ... with real mayo is my favorite sandwich.

        I'm definitely a protein eater. MY perfect food?

        A perfectly cooked rib-eye steak ... medium rare to rare, topped with a dollop of herbal butter.

        I also relish rack of lamb with mustard bread-crumb crust; lobster ... just pick it out the shell and dip it in butter; fried chicken ... like my momma made.

            My personal favorite is the Rueben. The caveat is that the meat has to be slow roasted, cooked, and cut to perfection! If the cook doesn't understand the proper way to cut the meat--it ruins the entire experience. It should fall apart in your mouth and be delicately surrounded by thousand island dressing and sauerkraut (which is the only time I will consider eating it, the sauerkraut). The bread should be soft inside, yet lightly grilled on the outside. You can make it on pure rye, or a swirled loaf of rye and pumpernickel. Add a side of spicy coleslaw or goat cheese potato salad and I am sent right up to heaven! I am so sad the restaurant that made it the best closed a few months ago :-(

            Sandwiches are excellent--I eat at least 5 a week. You all are making me very, very hungry!

            This is true: A Rueben can be easily messed up. As for the saurkraut, same here. I will only eat it if it is one of 2 things: A Rueben or if it is mixed with egg noodles.

                It was plain. I forget what my mom served with it, meat-wise. Not fish, not lamb, not meatballs. This is going to bother me, now. I don't remember how my mom cooks the saurkraut (boiled or steamed). But she boiled a lot of egg noodles in another pot, drained it, and then mixed the two together (once the saurkraut was drained).

                You can also eat it cold, which was awesome.

                Best part was the day afterward: Fry the combo. Just add butter and put it in a frying pan. Surprisingly good, just don't eat it like this cold. Doesn't taste right.

                Having lived in Baltimore ... I always have a spot in my tummy for a deep fried softshell crab sandwich ... extra tartar sauce on white bread. I will always substitute fried oysters if the softshell crabs aren't around.

                  Primanti's! Now THAT'S a Sandwich! With a Capital S!

                  It's not just a Sandwich, it is an Experience! I love that place!

                  Do not knock it unless you have tried it, period. Only little wit and a deplorable lack of culinary "curiosity" can excuse you if you do! It sounds atrocious, looks even worse, but, taste one. Just close your eyes and dive in. You will be converted! Trust me on this one! Would I who've shared giant deep fried scorpions with my avatar guide you a culinary amiss? (*pinkgrins*!)

                  But, for me, it's a Reuben. And it must be done in a double griller. Done on both sides at the same time. Must!

                  Doesn't that make it a "panini"?

                  Hi chelli! But, no, no, and no!!!! A panini is what it is, a Reuben cooked correctly, is only a correctly cooked Reuben! Besides, most "panini's" passed off today in this country are nothing more than new age subs! Some quite tasty, to be sure, but fancy subs nonetheless!

                  A double grilled Reuben could never be confused with a roll of lunchmeat on a cut up hero bun! (*pinkgrins*!)

                  I think the most perfect sandwich is the mood you are in at the time or maybe where you go. Tuna is probably one of the most perfect foods out there with no calories or fat grams and high in protein. I love a french dip sandwich but there is a drive in we go to that makes the best bacon , lettuce and tomato I ever had. I love Schlotzsky's too

                  What? Not a muffaletta or an oyster poor boy? I would kill right about now for either. They don't offer those sandwiches out here. I had one oyster poor boy at a "cajun" restaurant here that would get you killed in Lafayette for daring to serve it. We're going to have to make a trip back to the old home and stock up on some goodies.

                    In Vietnam, street vendors sold a lobster "sandwich" that would make your eyes roll up! It was on a kind of half flat bread, half roll looking thing, imagine one tail the length of your hand, covered in shredded and woked cabbage, and they were superb! That was a sandwich!

                    OK, here's another personal favorite - breaded chicken breast, bacon, cheese, lettuce and mayo on a toasted onion roll! I like hot sandwiches rather than cold.

                    Good, good, but for me, replace the bacon (nuthin' against bacon!) with a nice thick slice of tomato, and a slice of red onion, and I'll go thru that baby in a heartbeat! (*pinkgrins*!)

                    I do too, prefer hot over cold, usually, but there are times a plain, old, baloney on plain white bread with ketchup just fits the bill!

                        Everyone knows the meatloaf sandwich:

                        2 slices of bread or roll or sub.
                        a thick slice of meatloaf
                        mashed potatoes spreaded on
                        ketchup

                        Try different versions of it.

                          MJV, ever had 'meat cake?' Literally: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and ketchup in the shape of a layered cake. Meatloaf as the 'cake,' mashed potato 'filling' and 'icing,' and ketchup as decoration 'icing' on top.

                          It is so sickening, it's good.

                            Remember that plain old baloney sandwich? Try a little smooth peanut butter on it too. I even have Mom liking it! She poo'ed it for years! Eons! Not any more! (*pinkgrins*!)

                            I have always wanted to try a thanksgiving sandwich. D'Angelo's makes them, but the one near me SUCKS.

                            I pack a bologna almost everyday for lunch (it's cheap and also one of the few things that my stomach doesn't say "F-U" to; I have a stomach thing and I am trying new foods to figure out what I can eat or not). Just a slice of cheese and 2 pieces of the meat. I miss fried balogna sandwiches. My preference: Oscar Meyer (not the all beef one) or Schickhouse bologna (I can't find this where I am living now. Stupid Boar's Head is everywhere).

                              I've never understood the need to put stuffing on bread. I know there are tons of people who love it though! For me it belongs on the side, but the turkey and fresh cranberry relish can continue on into the sandwich! Yummy.

                              Augur,

                              Peanut butter and bologna sandwiches--How on earth did you ever come up with that combination? Was it on a dare, or did someone else discover it and share with you? It's always amazing to me that strange combos can be so good. I'll have to try that some day.

                                Chelli! There is a story to that one! At the time, I used ketchup on just about anything, before my culinary taste buds grew in, many moons ago. One day, I had bread, the baloney, but not a drop of red stuff in the house. Then I saw the jar of pb, and the rest is history. It was a bit dry without the ketchup, but after Mom's shopping trip a couple of days later, I made one with the new bottle of Heinz, and voila'! It was born!

                                Mom finally tried it just a couple of months ago, after thumbing up at it for almost fifty years, and she liked it! If she'd only listen to her son all the time....heavy sigh! (*pinkgrins*!)

                                How about a spaghetti sandwich? Canned spaghetti on toasted Italian bread. Yum. It's quick, it's easy, and it still makes Mom shake her head back and forth!

                                I used to have a roomate who was a very "ethnic" WASP. His favourite lunch was cheap supermarket brand bologna on white bread with ketchup-- or mayo. Along with canned tomato soup.

                                Bologna sandwiches on white bread with tomato soup on the side-- his idea of heaven!

                                Not terrible, IMO, but there are tastier things to eat for lunch (some great ideas here, actually)

                                Nah, if anything should go with tomato soup, sandwich-wise, it's the good old fashioned grilled cheese.

                                Oh, and for future knowledge: Don't eat grilled swiss cheese. It really, really doesn't taste right. You know what stale swiss cheese tastes like? When it's stiff and crumbly? That's what it tastes like.

                                  Real Mayonnaise is made of eggs, oil, (sometimes water as well),spices (usually salt) and maybe some lemon juice.

                                  Miricle Whip ... who knows.

                                    Probably has a lot of chemicals with strange names.

                                    When I was growing up I always had dill pickle sandwiches. Plain white bread with butter and slices of dill pickle.

                                    Sometimes I had sour cream sandwiches on Gram's homemade bread right out of the oven.

                                    Then there was the onion sandwich. Thick slices of onion and butter, salt & pepper on fresh homemade bread.

                                    I remember rice sandwiches. You want to talk about feeling poor, eat a rice sandwich. You boil white rice and put it between 2 slices of bread. That's it. That's a traditional rice sandwich. Carbs on carbs.

                                      Now, that is just so clever I have to forgive you. I'll even go a step further and tell you I hope you enjoyed every "bite" more!

                                      the most perfect food.......the Sandwich!

                                      Silliness. The most perfect food on the planet is hands down, the beef, bean, cheese with pork green chili burrito.

                                      The yummy cheese melts throughout the beef and beans and the pork green chili makes it hot and spicy, a wonderland of melty goodness wrapped up in foil.

                                      Yummmy and you can hold it one hand when driving. :)

                                        Well, not over it, I think we can compromise on that and simply agree to call a burrito a "sandwich". It is, after all, monster yumminess, wrapped with a bread type product and hand-held!
