SANDWICH ME...............PLEASE!!!!!

I  am writing this blog more for myself than anything else.  I just read a new blog about chefs rethinking sandwiches....................Changing a tried and true BLT is enough to make Dagwood choke.....!!!!!!







I really do not care what restaurant is serving this or the fact that they are charging over-the-top prices for this mess below.................I don't want that BLT.  NO, NO, NO !


I want sandwiches that have been around since my Dad got off the boat.  I want old regional flavors, breads made from wrinkled hard working hands and the freshest ingredients available:



I want to go to New York City and be confident that I can have a Katz Pastrami on Rye without the fuss and the muss:








We all have regional sandwiches that we enjoy and when traveling we seek out the local Po Boy, Fish Fry, or Philly Cheese steak................................Here is my all time favorite from the Buffalo N.Y. area:

It is called Beef on Kummelweck.  An incredibly moist combination of steamship round medium rare roast beef spread with a horseradish cream sauce (or not) and the top roll dunked in the au jus before serving..............no cheese, lettuce tomato.  Caraway seed and course salt adorn the bun.

........................and stop messing with my PB & J





...........................................................OK that one looks good!!!

AND MY ALL TIME FAVORITE:  Hot turkey with gravy~~~~~mmmmm!



Do you have a favorite sandwich?

Have you invented a really unusual sandwich?  My husbands favorite: Wonder Bread,  French fries, butter, ketchup and Egg Foo Yung.  He sleeps alone a lot!!!!!!!!!  Talk to me.  We are losing our constitutional rights, our right to bear whatever......the right to publicly mumble under our breath... but please folks we need to keep our sandwiches out of the hands of Chefs who Wannabe short order cooks. 






........................................................anybody hungry??????????????



BREAKFAST SANDWICH...............................!!!!!


BOB THE BUILDER LOVES HIS SAMICHES!!!!!!!


My son and some of his friends are Vegans...........nothing I can do about it!!!!  I made them this Tempeh, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich grilled in soy butter.  It was delicious and very filling.  It also had soy cheese............not bad!!!!


I ended up putting some black olives and a few sprouts on it!  For me, I needed some avocado slices.



For Breakfast I love a simple thin rib eye steak and poached egg on the best toasted French bread available...................Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm!

The weather is still on the cooler side so I thought we could have some pulled pork.......


SUNSHINE CAN'T WARM THE EARTH WITHOUT HER :

PB & J.......................................................................................!
......................................On Evil White Bread !!!!!!!!!

A JROBERT SPECIAL: 


With Summer almost here:


My Soft Shell Crab.....................WOW!


Another New England Special......................................Lobster Rolls



FOR THOSE FRIDAY NON MEAT EATERS.......MY FAVORITE FISH FRY SANDWICH
......................................................................EXTRA TARTAR SAUCE IS A MUST!!!!!



This is called The HOTDANGER fully loaded Homie Special!!!!!



Anybody up for a chili dog???????????



HAPPY FATHER'S DAY BREAKFAST  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Shiners, I do understand that I may be the only person who gives a rat about the sandwich, and that is O.K. Do not worry about leaving a message, just know that I am the William Wallace of the sandwich, or as Uncle Jeb from the Long Island said, "Sangwich"...........

    My very first sandwich in my life was a Thuringer on white bread with mustard. I was 9----and yes, I had NEVER had a real sandwich before that sandwich; only white bread, butter and sugar. All behind our Mom's back. She did not believe in cold lunches so we never got sandwiches.

    THEN~~~~~~~~~~~like the look in Pee Wee's eyes when he found his bike............I discovered fried bologna samiches.................OH, Kim, come back and explain ....I could never do as you could!!

    Good point! Don't mess with perfection. Invent something new or give your version a different name. BLT, PO Boy, etc. should remain the unchanged classics.

    JM: The Sivler is Extra........Teasing you......!

    Bacardi Silver, in the rind with pureed watermelon and ice................PVC for the straw!!!!!!!!!!!!q

    Whiz wit? Thanks J

    Super.......whenever is fine !!!

    BTW Super: There is a new sandwich From the Shine Blog:

    There are those who think bread and chocolate is the gods’ own breakfast, but Hi-Rise Bread Company’s Sin Sandwich brings the duo to mortals. Only an accomplished baker can produce a flaky pain au chocolat, but anyone can grill a sandwich of Nutella and dark chocolate on store-bought brioche—and everyone probably should at least once. At the Cambridge, Massachusetts, bakery, customers tend to share the oozy, sugar-dusted sandwich—but given the name, it shouldn’t be split too many ways.

    I call it The Super A......
