I like ham, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, in raisin bread.
Edit: Hmm. I think you like chicken sandwhiches.
Posted by Gryphonesse (Member # 6651) on :
best sammich ever:
thinly sliced fresh roast beef, baby swiss, a slice of tomato on a fresh croissant - add a touch of mayo and heat for about 20 seconds.
MMMMMMmmmmmmmm........

Mmm. Chicken sandwich. But not my favorite sandwich.

My favorite sandwhich is a BLT with provolone and any convenient funky mustard.
I'm guessing your favorite sandwhich is a PB&J.
Posted by theCrowsWife (Member # 8302) on :
My favorite sandwich is Betty's Brie from Beyond Bread: roast beef, brie, tomatoes and mayonnaise on a baguette. But I have to get it on sliced bread because the baguette is too crusty and it rips my mouth up to eat it.
My favorite sandwich at home is grilled cheese with Italian seasoned ground beef.
This thread reminds me of a question I had about Kosher eating. I read a comment somewhere that a sandwich containing meat can't be made with bread that contains milk, because of the injunction against eating meat cooked in milk. That didn't seem to make sense to me, because you don't cook the bread and meat at the same time. So I was curious if that comment was correct.
That just made me think of something else: could you use bread with milk in it to make a meatloaf? Or is meatloaf not Kosher?
This will also help me guess Tante's favorite sandwich, by possibly ruling out some options.

A perennially delightful classic! But not my favorite sandwich.

Tante likes grilled cheese SW's!
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Milk and meat cannot be eaten together. Not even if they are cooked separately. So no cheeseburgers, no roast beef and brie, no grilled cheese with ground beef.
Meatloaf is indeed kosher, if it is made with kosher meat (like beef, veal, turkey) and it contains no milk or milk-derived or milk-containing ingredients.
In addition, for food to be kosher, separate dishes, utensils, pots, baking sheets, etc. must be used for milk-containing foods and meat-containing foods.
There are some foods that are neither milky or meaty and can be used with either. Eggs, fruits, vegetables, grains, sugar, are all neutral.
Poultry counts as meat, but fish is neutral.
There is a good reason for this. Really there is. I'm sure that someone on this forum could explain it. (To me, too).

Tante LOVES grilled cheese sandwiches! They are my second favorite sandwich.
Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
I'm guessing it's pastrami on rye.
My favorite is an open-faced roast beef (with leftover roast beef) on toast smothered in gravy.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Well, I know my favorite ain't yours. Mine is plenty of bacon, fried extra-crispy, with fresh, ripe, home-grown avocado, one leaf of romaine, and mayo on toasted California sourdough or (second choice) a toasted sweet multi-grain bread.

Yum! Hot pastramni, juicy, on warm rye bread with brown mustard. Got to love it!
But it is not my favorite sandwich.

*jealous* I'm in New Jersey. I had no idea that there was such a thing as a fresh, ripe, home-grown avocado. But now I want one.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Tante, if you ever come to visit LA in the late spring/ early summer, I will give you avocados fresh from the tree. My dad's fiance's mother has a tree that produces abundantly every year, and not those thick-skinned, alligator-looking things that are called "California avocados" in stores. No, no. Thin-skinned, green-yellow, buttery-textured, sweet, perfectly ripe avocados.

Now I wish it were avocado season!
Posted by UofUlawguy (Member # 5492) on :
As a kid, my favorite was egg salad, but it was so much trouble to make compared to other sandwiches that I rarely got it. Tuna was a close second.
In Honduras, I found a restaurant that sold an enormous sandwich dubbed the "Superpansandwich". As sandwiches are not traditional Honduran fare, this creation was intended to represent American food, although I've never had anything else like it, and in fact I don't even remember what it was like. But it was great.
My wife makes a great "Mediterranean" sandwich that involves chicken, fresh spinach, feta cheese, and some kind of dressing on panini bread, all of which is grilled. It's very tasty.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I also enjoy a good torta carne asada, especially from Tortas Mexico, a local restaurant.
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
I don't have a favorite to be honest. I like most sandwiches equally. I do have a least favorite though: turkey. Turkey in general is my least favorite meat, so of course I'm going to dislike it on a sandwich.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Mmm, but a day-after-thanksgiving sandwich is so good! Spread the bread with butter, layer on turkey, potatoes, turkey, cranberries, stuffing, fry the sandwich, and smother in gravy... Mmmmmm...
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
I either like a good PB&J (with raspberry J, creamy PB) or a Vegomatic: kaiser roll/french bread with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and balsamic vinagerette (yes it's a salad on bread).
Posted by jeniwren (Member # 2002) on :
My absolute favorite sandwich is curried chicken on any dense bread. You bake the chicken breasts in a honey, curry and mustard, then when they are cool, shread them in a food processor with mayonnaise and more curry. It makes a wonderful spread.
Mostly, though, I eat turkey sandwiches with lettuce, mayo, swiss, and vinegar. The vinegar is the best part.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Tante, kashrus is a chok, so we don't actually know what the reason is. Jusaism 101 has a good discussion on the subject.
And I can't believe you started this topic on a fast day!

I actually don't eat turkey on Thanksgiving. *waits for gasps to subside* My whole family does, but I've never been fond of it. I usually help make a small ham for myself and anyone else who wants some. I'm weird like that.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
My mom doesn't like turkey much, but even she will eat it on Thanksgiving.
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
Out of tradition, I usually take a small piece. I minimize my turkey consumption though.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Yes, that's what she does. Although we don't have an alternative meat, there is always so much food on the table that she takes a small piece of turkey and fills up with everything else. Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
Oh. I don't each much of the other stuff either. I typically fill up on ham, baked beans, and rolls.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
So, you're a Chandler? Just don't like Thanksgiving food at all? I love Thanksgiving food: the gravy and potatoes, the stuffing, the veggies, the sweet potato pudding, the jell-o salads, the home-made cranberry relish and the jellied cranberries, the veggies...

I'll tell my favorite sandwich, since no one is close to guessing.
I like the ice cream sandwich above all other sandwiches.

The whole idea of a salad made of Jell-o is strange to me. That Jell-o is Thanksgiving food is enormously weird.
But I suppose you you'd think potato kugel to be out of place on your Thanksgiving table. Or matzah ball soup.
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
No, that didn't happen. It would have been a funny coincidence if it had.

Pretty good so far. There have been a lot of trayf offerings that I had to vicariously pass by, however. The avocado was very good, though. And it's a good thing I vicariously ate the grilled cheese before I vicariously ate the pastrami. But now I have to wait for hours before I can vicariously eat my ice cream sandwich.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
The kugel would probably be a welcome addition. We have so much food, though, that the soup would be a bit too much, although I love it.
In my family, Jell-o salads are "special occasion" food-- Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. There are two traditional Jell-o salads that we have; one is layers of strawberry Jell-o with banana in one and strawberry in the other, with sour cream in between layers, and one is cherry Jell-o with apples, cherries, and nuts, and something special I can never remember folded in. Both really delicious, and no one makes them like my grandma. When I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner, I make the strawberry one, but instead of attempting the wonderful one my grandma makes, make applesauce Jell-o instead. Not quite as good, but very good nonetheless.

According to rivka, all virtual food is kosher, although I don't know how she'd feel about virtual bacon or a virtual cheeseburger.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
My favorite sandwich, rare to find and hard for me to make due to deep frying, is a Monte Cristo. Ham, turkey, and cheese, and the sandwich(usually cut in triangles first) dipped in an egg batter and deep-fried.
Oh my.
In lieu of that, a grilled cheese, made with the sharpest cheddar, with Lea and Perrins(only) Worcestershire sauce to dip it in.

Posted by Miriya (Member # 7822) on :
I'm not a huge sandwich fan but if I had to choose a favorite it would be a BLT on a bagel. This is because that is the sandwich I shared with my beloved way back when.. which led to more BLTs on bagels which led to marriage, kids, etc.

It's always avocado season here. My co-worker has several trees in her yard and keeps me well supplied...

Ditto. The tree in my parents' front yard is currently producing prodigiously.

Remind me a day or two before we get together next, and I'm sure I can snag you a few.
Especially if you don't mind having to trim 'em. The squirrels seem to like taking nibbles before they're quite ripe.
Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :
I actually get almost too many avocados from people here. I love them, and eat them on sandwiches, salads and in guacamole, but my children won't eat them and I end up giving away about half of what I get.
My children really cramp my eating style these days. Back when I was cooking for a crowd every day, I'd make whatever I liked and, while I usually had one or two that complained about what I'd made, the food always got eaten. Now that it's just me and my two youngest, if I make something they don't like, I'll end up eating it all myself. So I cook for them. It gets very boring. They don't like enchiladas, or pretty much anything spicy. They don't like tofu. They don't like beans very much... I miss eating mexican food 3 nights a week.
My older children give me grief that I "cater" to the younger ones so much, but it's just not worth it to make a batch of enchiladas or lasange that only I will eat. So we eat a lot of teriyaki and the like.

Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :
Halfway through reading thsi thread. I am salivating and laughing at how this topic changed from Tante's favorite sandwich to Thanksgiving traditions.
My grandmother didn't like turkey and since she was the one who made the whole dinner in my family, we never had it. (She also made us eat the cranberries with the berries still in them which we all hated; the jellied ones are best especially since they make that cool noise coming out of the can!) I had never eaten roast turkey until I was all grown up. She died several years ago and all our traditions have changed so we eat turkey now. A tradition that has survived though is a fruit salad (not jello) with marshmallows. I made it the other day for a church function and it made think of Thanksgiving. Yum!
My favorite sandwich... Hard to say. I LOVE sandwiches. PB&J is good (strawberry jam with crunchy PB on whole wheat bread) or tuna salad (with pickles) on white toast or almost any deli sandwich with cheese (not Swiss though) and lettuce and mayo with chips and a pickle on the side.... I am HUNGRY! But my fave would have to be the Monte Cristo from Bennigan's.

There is this restaurant that just opened called the Full Belly Deli.
My 9 year-old son has perfected a stolen recipe from them and we call it the Full Belly Indy:
sliced ham sliced turkey provolone cheese or subtitute pepper jack cheese if you like spicy southwest sandwich sauce (can be found in deli section at Wal-Mart hee hee) on thick sliced bread and toasted like a grilled cheese.
Serve with pickles (dill or bread & butter) and/or potato chips.
We eat this silly sandwiches at least once a week...
"Hey Indy, how bout a full belly?''.
"OK Dad...(sigh)".

No offense, but that sounds a little nasty. I think. I looked it up. Braunschweiger is liverwurst. On a donut? Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Anyway, the fast is over, and we ate... SANDWICHES!
Tuna salad on whole wheat pita.
Cream cheese and lox.
Egg salad.
And ice cream sandwiches for dessert!!
And as good as that was, there is nothing in the world better than a beautiful long drink of water after you have been fasting all day. It is a piece of Heaven! Really. I'm pretty sure that it falls from Heaven. It felt sooooo good. I could feel it going all the way down into my belly, and then spreading its watery goodness all through my parched self.
I washed down the sandwiches with more water. A delight!
