    my favorite for the bike is an "Elvis" which is peanut butter and banana only I make it with banana chips instead of fresh banana. That way it has a biit of texture, and the bananas doen't look black and slimey. My favorite at home is any sort of low fat cold cut, homemade bread (which my husband makes weekly) and a tablespoon of low fat mayo and dill relish. My favorite breakfast sandwich is a toasted english muffin (whole wheat) spread with apple cinnamon jelly and non fat cottage cheese.

    I love cashew butter, banana and honey. Although, I smash the banana, because apparently I like it slimey ;-)

    I also like pita bread and hummus.

    We make these yummy sandwiches maybe 1-2 times per month:

    Sandwiches using baguette stick or pannini bread. Has been lightly heated in frying pan with smashed, minced garlic or abit of olive oil. Just to heat up. Inside has:

    1. boccini cheese rounds or mozarella cheese (Italian style), cut fresh tomatoes, fresh basil. Tomatoes may be sprinkled with balsamic vinegar. could add slices of red pepper. Or add a couple of capers.

    2. smoked lox salmon, brie or goat cheese, fresh basil leaves or dill.

    Eat immediately while bread is still abit warm. Just so yummers!!

    Fluffernutter -- PB + marshmallow fluff. It's good cold or grilled.

    Fluffernutter sandwiches were my absolute favorite when I was a kid!

    Now, crunchy peanut butter and banana (bananas cut thinly lengthwise and laid over the peanut butter) on Dave's Killer Bread is my favorite, especially for long distance cycling. I can go 2 hours on one of those babies! I'll also do almond butter and banana.

    A bagel with lox, cream cheese and red onion is another favorite, but I would never cycle with it. This is what my Dad always makes for me when I visit home. I can never eat one without thinking of my Dad, and my Yiddish grandparents in their musty old apartment in Queens. Good memories.

    We must be related! Same fav sammy as a kid, and a lox bagel is the best, and reminds me of MY grandparent's old apartment in Queens!

    Cheese. Cheese, cheese, cheese.

    Never did the pb&j thing. When I was growing up I liked cheese and jelly. Still do.

    There's a deli near work where I like to get muenster on rye with tomatoes and russian dressing.

    Cheese and tomatoes go great together.

    Cheese on a whole wheat bagel with a little mayo is always nice.

    (Yes I know, I have strange tastes. This is just the tip of the iceberg...)

    Oak, if you're ever in NYC, you have to eat at Moustache: http://www.moustachepitza.com/ in the village. They make their pita to order, and it comes out big and poofy. It's so delicious.

    My favorite sandwich is fresh mozzarella and either broccoli rabe or arugula on focaccia, with lots of olive oil. Neither version would be good on a bike, unless you didn't care about being able to shift or stop.

    I also love grilled cheese and tomato. And PB and B. I eat a lot of sandwiches.

    Ultimate favorite: a very special BLT. Featuring a perfectly ripe tomato, so fresh it's still warm from the sun in my garden. L is replaced by spinach out of the garden. It's on my home-made bread, with a generous amount of home-made mayo. (First of the tomatoes have been planted, and I'm counting the days...)

    Another fav: grilled cheese and avocado. YUM!

    Admittedly to me, peanut butter and banana sandwiches sound abit foreign.

    It was more about peanut butter over hot toast as a kid.

    I only eat sandwiches several times per month but like something thoughtfully put together over the last few years. Explains why our sandwiches sound elegant: it's something we would have for supper instead of lunch.

    Otherwise the bread from the bakery is so good quality, that just cutting a slice and occasionally put on abit of goat cheese, is lovely.

    Our favourite picnic on summer evenings are fulsome, elegant sandwiches, sitting by the waterfront.

    I wonder if that's the place we wandered into on New Year's Eve one time, after getting within maybe three blocks of Times Square with all the crowds, and then wandering around the city until we got hungry around 3 a.m. It was delicious!

    Although I wouldn't really call it a "sandwich"...everyday for breakfast, I eat a slice of Ezekial bread toasted with a light spread of natural PB, a drizzle of honey, and 9 banana slices arranged on top...to finish it off, I sprinkle cinnamon on top...YUMMM!

    For a regular lunch-type sandwich...I'd say my favorite would be a few slices of low-sodium turkey breast with a slice of low-fat cheese (usually mozzarella or provolone) and some lettuce on either Ezekial bread or those new bagel thins...yes, boring I know...but that's what I like.
