Sandwich Encyclopedia

Pretty excellent cataloging here. There are some clear HOF’ers on this list

Make your pick. 

No substitutions!

 

[acarey50]

Make me a sammich!!!!!

 

[The General]

Egg Salad and Chicken Salad don’t belong here. Same for you PBJ. Take a hike chumps!

 

[Mister CIA]

Chicago-style hot dog, or better yet, Italian sausage.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I think we should all stop and thank Earl for the sandwich. And also the woman that made it possible,  Mother of Earl.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Big fan of a quality Tuna Melt but reading this list I now want a Patty Melt.  

 

[Stinkin Ref]

lobster roll

cheesesteak

fried chicken

meatball (two Utah....two)

but I will say, I also sometimes crave a nice cheap boloney and American cheese on cheap white bread

 

[The General]

Controversial 

 

[Mister CIA]

Controversial 

At least I didn't say Taco.

 

[The General]

Cucumber Tea 

 

[Dezbelief]

Mmmm French dip.

 

[The General]

BLT is a lock for top 5.

 

[otb_lifer]

¡Cubano!

 

[The General]

Reuben is locked in as a 1 seed.

 

[Keith R]

No substitutions?  Give me the #6, Italian Sub.

With substitutions, Lobster Roll, hold the mayo.  Why cheapen lobster with mayo?

 

[matuski]

Egg Salad and Chicken Salad . PBJ.

You nailed the top 3.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

BLT is a lock for top 5.

So good it got its own album.

[Galileo]

I do not see the DiNic's roast pork on that list, so it is clearly a second rate selection at best...

 

[The General]

You nailed the top 3.

Save some mayo for the rest of us Matuski!

What a SILF

 

[Atomic Punk]

Tough calls. I’m going with the po-boy or philly cheese steak.

Can’t say I’ve tried them all. Missing out on 16, 26, 27, 28, 37 and 38.

Liverwurst lives up to the name, it is easily the wurst on the list.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

A good Torta might be my #1

 

[wikkidpissah]

Cucumber Tea 

that's a fightin' laughface, boyo!

after the Foodapalooza thread. i only have one great food story left and it involves that very article. i took liberties as soon as i was able in my MetroBoston neighborhood, much to my mother's chagrin, but my first legal liberty was the summer i was ten. she would regularly walk me down to the subway station and give me a bag of cucumber sammiches - crusts cut off even tho i like the crust because, well, we're not animals - and 80¢, 15¢ each way on the el, 50¢ for bleacher seats.

i'd arrive several hours early, watch BP then come out to the front entrance to help Mr. Bullock. Retired from 50 years as a porter on the Boston & Maine railroad, he had a peanut stand right out on Racist Yawkey Way. In exchange for my bagging peanuts & handing em out so he could stick to his stool, i got a bag for myself at gametime. In between barking "Peanuts, a diiiime, three fo' a quotah", he'd tell me stories of Hornsby & Ruth & Gibson & others as he served them on trains from New York to Boston. There still aint a ballpark food that pleased anyone as much as me Ma's cucumber tea sammiches & Mr. Bullock's peanuts on hot summer afternoons.

ETA: oh, and Italian beef's my pick, tho Italian combos (add sassage) are better

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Lots of good stuff here - but for long term, I gotta go patty melt.  

not exotic, but very solid

 

[Desert_Power]

Based on the sandwiches shown, I'm going Reuben, Cubano, and Italian

 

[Nugget]

Lots of fantastic choices, but now I am craving a Monte Cristo.

ever had an Elvis Monte Cristo? bacon, banana & pb, dipped & fried. weird good -

 

[MAC_32]

No brainer, lobster roll. Would only possibly have a different opinion if I had constant access to fresh lobster. And even then probably not.

 

[wazoo11]

nicks roast beef

Three way 

 

[Drunken knight]

so many good ones! bahn mi or shrimp po boy

 

[General Malaise]

I make myself a sandwich every day at the office.  I could live on sandwiches and be perfectly content the balance of my life.  

I'll go with:

1) Reuben

2) Cubano

3) Cheese Steak

If you could pick between pizza or sandwich the balance of your life - you can change the configuration as often as you like - but you can only choose one, what are you taking? 

 

[Gr00vus]

Great pole you set up @The General, really great.

 

[The General]

I love pizza but the sandwich option has more choices.

Italian sub and I don't care what you say I am not getting tomatoes on it.

I know a guy who hates tomatoes but puts ketchup on everything.

 

[massraider]

I dunno what percentage of Americans have ever had a proper one. Can't even get the correct roll in most of the US. 

 

[The General]

This was a very hard choice that I had to deliberate on for a minute.

I can’t rank them but top 5

BLT

Bahn Mi

Reuben

Shrimp Po Boy 

Philly Cheesesteak

I am lacking in the chicken and turkey food group and am already second guessing this but I have to ride with these bad boys.

You know him as in you are friends or know him because he is so weird that you need to keep tabs on him because of the ketchup thing.

I thought I taught you years ago about the awesomeness of the Torta. I'm not mad at you right now.  Just disappointed.

My top three:

Torta

Cheesesteak

Meatball

love all of those except the blt.  have to make it interesting for me...ie: basil or sun dried tomato aioli, etc

 

[nirad3]

Italian sub and I don't care what you say I am not getting tomatoes on it. 

Does that count as a substitution or just a deletion?

If we can't make ANY changes to said sandwich, I'll go with a meatball sub.

If we can take stuff off, I may just go with the Italian sub but no lettuce.

Actually... if I can't add cheese to that Italian sub I think I'll just go with the meatball.

I had a cheesesteak today.  Glorious.  No onions though... gross.

 

[Osaurus]

Corned Beef Special is my #1. 

 

[The General]

That’s fair. That was my workhorse of the group and was my toughest call. I’d add avocado and siracha mayo.

7 out of every 10 of these are consumed after a hockey fight

 

[MAC_32]

I dunno what percentage of Americans have ever had a proper one. Can't even get the correct roll in most of the US. 

I take it you're referring to Connecticut style. I've tried it, but think Maine is better. I prefer split top hot dog for the roll, but am less picky with it as I am hot v cold. Just has to be soft, but not so soft it turns soggy.
