Favorite Sandwiches?

[Susan Otcenas]

Peanut butter, pretzels, and sharp cheddar cheese -- together.

On bread or without?

I can see the peanut butter and pretzels part, but the cheddar is unique. Not sure that is a tast sensation that would rock my world, though.

Now you're talking! Growing up, I was always the kid with leftovers for lunch, so sandwiches were a rarity. When I got to high school mom quit lunch-making duty and being a dumb, lazy teen, I just threw sandwiches together - and hated them. Usually just dry lunch meat and American cheese. So gross. Now that I'm older and a bit wiser, I love a good caprese or salami with oil and vinegar on crusty Italian bread. Grilled eggplant focaccia with some mozz and basil, mmmmmm. Once in a while, I love a plain PB sandwich; just TONS of PB so your mouth is almost sealed shut

Oatmeal bread.

Oh my, all these sandwiches sound so incredibly good!

I love a sprout sandwich with havarti, avocado and tomato on baguette. Also love hummus, turkey and basil on whole wheat. I love any kind of grilled cheese but especially a quesadilla folded in half to make a sandwich, with sliced avocado as the filling. I have two sandwiches that remind me of my dad: pimento and cheese on toast, and a bagel with cream cheese, genoa salami and mustard. Recently had a brie, pear and ham grilled sandwich that was out of this world.

Oh boy, these sandwiches all sound stunning! And my everyday sandwiches sound very humdrum. But they're a staple, and have to be easy to transport and easy to eat, with fairly simple ingredients. I make them all with double thin slices of wholegrain bread, with rye, but not the dark "sour" rye bread. I like light bread too, but not for "real food".

At any given time I'm probably going through four a day of one or two of these types:

- cheese and fruit - aged yellow cheese or brie with sliced grapes or apple
- cream cheese and blackcurrant jam
- banana and a tart jam, like cranberry
- good old boiled egg and mayonaisse, salt and pepper, cherry tomato if I have time
- brown goat's cheese, sweet and caramelish, nothing like the salty white ones
- thick slices of green apple with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar on top
- tunafish and mayonaisse
- sliced avocado and a good ham

I'm off the peanut butter wagon and don't expect to be back on for at least a year!

Brown goat cheese sounds interesting. Don't think I've ever seen it in the US.

ETA: I just googled it and found "gjetost." Which apparently is available here. Sounds good and I shall look for it.

Yep, gjetost. Definitely tastes like caramel. I went to school with a woman who'd spent a year in Norway, and she introduced me to it.

The only cheese I miss as a vegan is gjetost. So caramel-y and delicious.

My favorite sandwich right now is roasted veggies (eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, sweet potatoes) with an olive tapenade all wrapped up in a warm baguette, tightly wrapped and eaten hours later when all the flavors have melded. It's the perfect picnic/hiking sandwich.
