I agree, you Americans love your sandwiches. Although I wouldn't mind trying some of those suggested in this thread...

Here in England its like, white bread, butter and processed ham, although I did have a really nice 'sarnie' the other day:
- Granary bread (sliced at home, chunky)
- Thin layer of butter
- Thick country ham (like freshly sliced off the deli)
- Tomato
- Red onion
- Salad cream
- Lightly seasoned with pepper

Not one for ya lunchbox.

My favorite sandwich is Hard Salami on Beefsteak Rye

I'm rather fond of a good fried egg sandwich. For me, that entails two lightly buttered and lightly toasted pieces of wheat bread with one fried egg (gooey yolk) cooked with a piece of cheddar on top, mayo, mustard, and if I feel like it, a piece of gently crisped thin sliced deli ham. That's the type of sandwich that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Yum! Yum!

After reading about the "jam sandwich fried in lard" on this thread, I decided to do one myself. Except I upped the ante and made it a fried peanut butter and jam. It was actually really good. Nice and warm, and gooey.

Ham with mayo and mustard is both tangy and tasty, garnished with lettuce and tomatoes.

I may not fry my sandwich in lard, but occasionally when i have a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich I will grill it. I really enjoy it being warm and gooey like you said. I think I might fry my sandwich next time.

I fry it with butter in a frying pan because I don't have anything else to use.

I've had success with all types of fats: oils, butter, animal fat, lard. . . The first fried PB&J I had, I used bacon grease. The second one, Crisco (lard). The bacon grease one was salty, which was actually pretty nice, but the Crisco one was definitely pretty good, too. If you were to fry in vegetable oil, it would probably be the lowest impact on the arteries. The weird taste of olive oil might actually mesh pretty well with the strong sweetness of the PB&J.

True that. I fry my PBJs in olive oil and they are completely 100% awesome.

My favourite sammy by far is:

A stack of thinly sliced swiss cheese
Finely chopped green olives
Thousand island dressing
Thick sourdough bread

Assemble. Toast. Enjoy.

Just tried it with butter.

It was surprisingly gooey and delicious.

It'd probably be best with fresh white bread.

I prefer wheat in most cases, but in this one white Wonder brand bread is the best in my opinion.

Random question, but does anyone here know what color the jello ("jelly") is in the first episode of "The Office"?

There are a few kinds of bread I've used to soak up grease, after two years of trying to perfect the "traditional English breakfas," of which fried bread is a main component. French bread (baguettes) works pretty well because the hard crust supports the spongy interior. This is especially important once fried fat enters the equation. If you're willing to get a little messy, chalah loaf is probably the most incredible bread to fry. Sometimes you can find "English Bread" at the store, but, ironically, French bread works better.

It's not a sandwich, but as a youngster who would suffer 'snack attacks' late in the eve...

it would be two slices of real american cheese off the big block that mom always had in the frig. Apply your favorite condiment between the two (mine was Kraft Salad Dressing) and snack happy.

The PB&J:
Take your bread of choice and lightly butter (not fake shit) one slice. Apply 3/16" of Hallam's all natural PB. It contains no salt, so lightly apply a pinch of sea salt.
The other slice is for your favorite jam, jelly or preserve. I lean toward apricot or raspberry. Toast if you like, but toast it camp style, clean hot skillet with no oil or butter.

A 'perfect' sandwich here in the Ozarks is the old Bacon/Lettuce/TommyToe

For me bread must be toasted.
The condiment is Mayo.
The lettuce is crisp.
The cheese.... pick anything, customize, I lean toward sharp cheddar.
The bacon, just cook your fav til it's just that special crispness.
And the part that makes it perfect, you now go out to the garden and get a big and juicy FRESH tomato off the vine. Slice to just the correct thickness, and gobble up the sucker.

All of that sounds great. Sharp Cheddar is my favorite cheese, in my opinion it's even better smoked. I think I am going to go and try that "Cheese" snack thingy you mentioned. I'll let you know how I like it.

Where do you get these varieties of bread? I'm quite a fan of bakery products and I would like to try some of this. Do I need to find a local bakery? Anyway, the baguette sounds perfect for frying. What size pieces do you use for servings?
