Sandwich Time
Welcome once again to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.
Sandwiches are a lunch time favorite.
In the 1930s two favorite sandwiches were ham, pickles and mustard and tuna with rice, capers, pepper and paprika. I think it probably needed mayo!
Sandwiches can be a simple peanut butter and jelly or a classy Monte Cristo.
1. What is your favorite sandwich and how do you make it?
I'm not a very exciting sandwich maker and we tend to only have them in the summer. I like a tomato, lettuce, ham and cheese usually on white bread but not always. A little mayo on the lettuce as well. Otherwise lettuce and marmite or cheese and marmite. Marmite is a yeast based breakfast spread not to be confused with vegemite which is more common in Australia. Toasted sandwiches are always good too but not with lettuce.
2. What is the best bread for making toast? How about for making sandwiches?
We like Couplands Super thick toast bread for sandwiches and toast. It stays lovely and fresh longer than other bread we've found.
3. If you go out to eat for lunch are you more likely to stay with a safe choice or be more adventurous?
No I'm not a very adventurous sandwich eater when out. Usually I look for an egg
sandwich made with chopped chives and some mayo. I don't keep eggs at home as we don't eat them very often so enjoy a plain old egg sandwich if I'm out for lunch.
4. Dagwood, hoagie, submarine, Po boy, grinder. Whatever they are called where you are, do you like them and if so what do you want on it?
Pardon? I'm guessing, but don't know, that these are either filled rolls or similar to a subway. On the odd occasion when we go to Subway we tend to still go for the salad ingredients with cold meat but have occasionally become quite daring and tried some of the other ingredients. Usually in a toasted grain bread.
Have a good week.

Bread and butter with ham and cheese and tomato! Or just about anything on bread, or even better a soft roll... Yum. But no longer on my diet list. Oddly I don't miss bread. If I do crave something like that I make a sort of pitta bread from cottage cheese and eggs. Not exactly the same but wonderful with butter and ham.
ReplyDeleteI like chicken salad on wheat bread, hot ham and cheese in a tortilla shell,
ReplyDeleteand good old peanut and butter!
Diana, I enjoyed your answers to these questions. I'm like you when it comes to not being very adventurous when it comes to eating sandwiches out. None of the restaurants around us serve sandwiches on gluten free bread. At home, I often fix us a toasted chicken salad sandwich made with canned chicken. But we also enjoy a good old fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
ReplyDeletehmm best sandwich, I have great childhood memories of marmite and chip, I think that was every kiwi kids choice back in the day. I just can't understand the peanut butter and jelly though
ReplyDeleteNo, peanut butter and jelly is not even on the kiwi radar is it.
DeleteEnjoyed your answers. Sometimes the simplest sandwiches are the best.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat a lot of bread these days ... but growing up my favourite sandwiches were cheese and tomato.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
We often have sandwiches for lunch here at home. In fact told Dan as he headed out the door to pick up some ham for sandwiches. I forgot to get some last shopping trip.
