My favourite sandwich has gotta be mayo chicken in a bagel with crunchy lettuce, satisfying in both taste and the crunchy texture of chopped iceberg lettuce from the shops.
Another one would be sausage and egg with some cheeky brown sauce (British lemmy users know what I mean)
What is YOUR favourite sandwich? Fillings or sauces to go with it, maybe your favourite type of bread?
Scrambled eggs with onion and chives on butter and rye bread
Jambon-Beurre!! With some freshly baked warm Ciabatta-esque bread 😍
Cuban sandwich. If done correctly, it is a masterpiece.
A cheese sandwich. Buttered white bread, a thick slice of salty cheddar, and a layer of English mustard. No nonsense.
I recently had a tandoori chicken salad sandwich that was --god damn…
Anything Indian or Ethiopian put between two slices of bread is absolutely amazing. The next time you order in Indian make a sandwich of some saag, vindaloo, korma, whatever and fucking enjoy.
The classic Ethiopian cuisine is stews served on a giant flatbread, it’s spiritually a sandwich even if it isn’t literally one
A sandwich I used to make when I worked at a deli. Pastrami, turkey, and provolone, melted, on a toasted onion roll with coleslaw and Russian dressing.
Tomato sandwich, it sounds simple but it kicks fucking ass. This sandwich lives or dies on having good flavorful tomatoes so its only for in-season times of year.
You want to make it with plain white sandwich bread - toast it lightly. Apply a light layer of real (not miracle whip) mayonnaise - preferably full fat. Then slice a beefsteak tomato into slices that let you retain all the guts of the tomato but are otherwise relatively thin. Make sure to cut out the stem joint (I usually do this after slicing because it’s easier). Assemble your sandwich with a reasonable amount of tomato but as you put slices on salt your tomato. A modest size tomato is usually large enough to make 2-3 sandwiches.
Enjoy a fucking treat!
Lightly toasted potato bread, mayonnaise, salted Jersey tomatoes, fresh dill. ❤️
Hell yeah, though I prefer untoasted multigrain - also some cracked black pepper, maybe a little parsley or chives.
Chicken shawarma. Simply delicious.
It’s got to be ham and cheese. No matter where you go, usually two out the three will be excellent, so a good sandwich is easily available
France - Amazing bread, amazing cheese, good ham
Spain - Crap bread, reasonable cheese, world class ham
UK - crap bread, world class cheese, good ham
Germany - world class bread, good cheese, amazing ham
America - bread that has to be called cake in other countries because of the sugar content, homogenised dairy product, and chlorine-washed minced pork-amalgam
Ah shit it was going so well
I suspect this will be a controversial comment
Ahem. That chlorine-washed minced amalgam has a name.
…and it comes in a can. Does your amalgam come in a can?
I did see spam once in 1987
But have you enjoyed the culinary delicacy that is TREET?
E: Albeit, I’d be lying if I didn’t suggest that you hold out for our true hero here in the states:
America definitely has good bread and cheese, it’s just that the worst instances of each are particularly terrible
Their regular supermarket bread is way, way too sweet for me, but there are decent bakeries still
The great bakeries are going out of business because everyone shops at Walmart.
Ploughman’s, easily. Thick slices of sharp cheddar, a tangy onion chutney, thin slices of apple, and some greens. More properly a ploughman’s lunch that is not in sandwich form, but it comes with bread anyway so literally the only difference is how you arrange the components
Also if there’s banh mi on offer I might just about bite your hand off to get at it
Deli-sliced turkey, muenster cheese, honey mustard, and my home-made pickles, on wheat.
A nice stack of thinly sliced ham, provolone cheese melted within and on top, a nice warm sourdough or potato bread, some mayo and mustard.
I don’t know what switch flipped in my head as I got older, but a nice hot ham and cheese has become the occasional simple pleasure like no other.

Tomatoe sandwich with humus and hot sauce.
BLAT. Bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato. Best with a hearty or sweet bread type. My preferred is sweet rye. No condiments needed…just spread the avocado for the texture and added flavor. Husband prefers the bread toasted, but I like it pan fried in butter.
Make the avocado into guacamole and you can have an LGBT sandwich
There’s a cafe near me that does a BLAT/americano combo lunch and it’s so good.
