While high I once made a club sandwich of BLT on bottom PB&J on top. The BLT had hot sauce.

Still dream about that sandwich

A BLT with fresh summer tomatoes from your own garden and home made mayo.

Cuban, followed by Rueben. There really is no competition

Shredded chicken, pesto, mozzarella, and tomato on a ciabatta or sourdough panini

One that my Mum makes when I'm feeling sick.

My Dad was right when he told me as a kid that nothing beats home made.

The best sandwich I ever had was a simple toasted ham and Swiss on white bread. Cheap grocery store variety.

I was starving, been working outdoors all day, hadn’t really eaten much for breakfast or lunch and it was probably 3 pm or so.

On of those things where you put off being hungry and you don’t realize you’re hungry until you see the food appear. It was the best sandwich I’d ever had, and there’s no way to recreate how good it was without being equally as tired and hungry.

Other than that, there’s this place called “Peter’s Super Beef” in Revere, MA. They make my favorite Italian sub with everything on it and hot peppers. Don’t know if they’re still around, but I’d have that again any day.

The best sandwich I have ever had was a home made Swedish breakfast wrap...

I fried an egg and some bacon, took a soft tunnbröd ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnbr%C3%B6d ), buttered it, put some melt cheddar from a local dairy, put the hot fried egg on the cheese, and put the bacon on top, I didn't have any tomatoe, I skipped it and just rolled the tunbröd into a wrap and ate it.

It was very soggy, but tasted soo good.

The Italian sandwich at Monica’s Mercato in the north end of Boston.

Took them like 15 minutes to make and it was absolutely delicious.

Jamón Ibérico on a French baguette.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

That would be the Paisano, from Paisano’s in Philadelphia.

I'm surprised to not see any gyro lovers in this thread.

Generic cheese in bread.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Someone already mentioned the Reuben, which is delicious, but an authentic pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and just enough barbeque sauce to taste it is one of the best things on earth. I could drink that creamy, bbq-y, pork juice that leaks out like Gatorade.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Fancy - perfectly roasted Porchetta on a homemade roll. Mayo mixed with the cracklins, Fresh chimichurri on top, bread lightly toasted in some of the pork fat.

Plain - perfect BLT with a perfect fried egg. Heirloom tomatoes in season with salt, pepper and olive oil, crisp cold butter lettuce, garlic aioli and butter toasted sourdough. Thick cut applewood smoked bacon cooked slowly in an oven and maybe some fresh avocado.

The Cubans my wife made. They were the best example I have ever had.

  • Instant pot citrus pork shoulder. I don't know how but it was the most citrussy pork I've ever had
  • grocery store smoked honey ham
  • some kind of cheese. Provolone?
  • good chunky mustard
  • Ciabatta roll
  • grilled and smashed flat on a hot cast iron with lots of butter

I could Se7en Gluttony kill myself on these if the supply was available.

I want to hear more about this citrussy.

Jokes aside sounds amazing. Cubans are really good. My wife makes them as eggrolls.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Cuban sandwiches are the perfect example of something that invokes a feeling of "it CAN'T be that Earth-shatteringly good," when you first hear about it. In all innocence, you're like "it's just a pork sandwich, right? How can it be this big of a deal to people?"

But then you have a well-made one, and you want to build a time-machine, just so you can go back in time and slap yourself in the fucking face for thinking that dumb shit. Because they're absolutely the best sandwich, and you WILL fight anyone who says different.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Came in here specifically to say a Cuban and it's the first thing I see already mentioned.

Those things are so damn good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Almost any sandwich that wasn't made at home.

I don't know why but sandwiches from somewhere always seem to taste better to me than ones I make at home, even if I copy it exactly. I don't know if it's psychological or what, but I'm always at least 10% disappointed with my homemade sandwiches.

I could have fresh crunchy lettuce, fancy mustard, premium meats, sprinkles or celery salt, fresh onion, whatever - it still doesn't match some sandwich I get out and about. I don't get it.

you are missing a key ingredient, disdain for the customer.

Beef pattie + bacon + fried egg + cheese + mayo. That's what I want. In every burger.

In Australia we have a "works" burger that is steak + bacon + egg + onion + lettuce + beetroot + cheese + mayo, and sometimes pineapple too. It's amazing, it's my favourite burger.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

This, but needs a splash of hot sauce (preferably cholula) to really set it off!

The Bahn Mi is the bomb diggity food of the gods.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

First ever Australian Bahn Mi Festival tomorrow(in Perth), I can not wait!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Bro I'm from Perth and I just saw this message, I f'kn missed it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I missed it, taking care of family.

And by all reports, going next year may be the better option... expected 2000 turnout, got 5000 people... 2 portaloos, no traffic management etc.

But then 15 types of Bahn Mi would probably be worth it.
