Sandwich, Earl of
Nov. 2nd, 2006 12:43 pmSomeone elsewhere linked to this blog about favorite sandwiches. And who doesn't like a sandwich?
My top ten:
1) The grilled chicken on foccaccia bread with fresh mozzarella I used to be able to get at The Office. They took it off the menu, the bastards.
2) The tuna fish sandwich I used to get at a tiny little coffee shop in the town where I grew up. Just tuna salad on white bread with lettuce, but man, the tuna was so good. I don't know what the guy did to it -- it was slightly sweet, as well as tangy, and had just the perfect amount of celery and onion. It was also nice and wet, not dry at all. He died, and his family sold the shop. All my sandwiches have been taken away!
3) Cold leftover meatloaf on sturdy bread with ketchup.
4) Grilled cheese from a diner. There is no way to approximate the level of buttery greasiness at home.
5) Grilled steak and mozzarella on garlic bread, which you can sometimes get at New York street fairs. (And, you know, elsewhere, but that's usually where I had them.)
6) Cheesesteaks from a shop where we lived in PA. So. Good. Shredded steak, LOTS of cheese, perfect rolls.
7) Chicken salad on pumpernickel bread.
8) Peanut butter and jelly, baby. A classic, with good reason. Smooth peanut butter, though, not chunky.
9) BLTs. My husband makes the best ones. Perfectly crisp bacon, just enough mayo, and thinly sliced tomato. Delicious.
10) Because I apparently have the palate of a five-year-old, I also adore plain old bologna and mustard sandwiches. So yummy.
