Favorite Sandwiches?

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.

Whole Foods here has it - it's called "Ski Queen" IIRC, and it's in a red package shaped like a cube. It's tasty stuff!

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.

what is 'olive tapenade'?

Not a bike sandwich..

fresh onion bun with Montreal smoked meat, mayo, mustard, slices of cherry tomato and dill pickle slices... drool!!

Sort of like an olive relish. Mine has finely chopped black and green olives, capers, roasted mushrooms, garlic, some vinegar and dijon mustard and whatever herbs I have around.
