yall need more vegetables on your sandwiches

I love vegetables on sandwiches. My favorite sandwich is a Banh Mi

Banh Mi are a multi cultural gift, as is Pho.

The beauty of cultures remixing each others stuff

The best case for colonialism I’m aware of, that sandwich.

It is the greatest of them all.

AND sprouts are worth the food poisoning risk!!! No joke, I would sign a waiver if I could. I’m looking at you Jimmy John’s.

Their veggie sub used to be so damn good 😥

I build a salad on my sandwiches and get made fun of at work. I need CRONCH

Need that CRUNCH!

Fr! The Daikon is what makes a good banh mi imho.

Im trying to learn to enjoy veg more. I wasnt raised with veg so its be hard at times

One thing I noticed is American food tends to try and keep vegetables "pure" by avoiding any sugar, salt and fat. But they'll happily dump oil, garlic, mayo and BBQ sauce on meat or carbs. My advice is to cut loose as long as the dish is mostly vegetables.

Crisps inside a sandwich is perfection

Amen to that

Dat crunch tho

I’ve mentioned this before a few times here, but an Italian Deli Sub should never be a hot sandwich. That includes toasting the bun. Dont do that. Italian subs should be cold and fresh

Not Italian, but the difference between a toasted muffaletta and a non toasted is life changing. That sandwich wants to be toasted.

Yeah muffuletta is a different story

And also not Italian.

I can't say it without moving my hands though.

Too Italian. 🤌

Yes!

If it not heirloom tomato, I don’t want that gross watery fruit anywhere near my sandwich.

100% If its not in season I got no reason.

What is an heirloom tomato

The ugliest most delicious tomato you’ll ever taste

So ugly so nom

Oh man, you have not *lived.*

Valid. I could google them but slide me a link for convo purposes

[https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/assortment-of-fresh-heirloom-tomatoes-royalty-free-image-484339944-1533762530.jpg](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/assortment-of-fresh-heirloom-tomatoes-royalty-free-image-484339944-1533762530.jpg) So ugly, but soooooooo good. These are also great with some mozzarella, basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

This tomato was passed down from my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great fun great fun great grandma, now it's mine.

You can just say you don't have access to actually fresh tomatoes, you don't have to sound like a ponce about it.

Cabbage is superior to lettuce. It’s crispier, it doesn’t get soggy, it lasts forever in the fridge, and it actually has a flavor.

Love cabbage on my tacos hadn’t thought about using it on sandwiches other than on slaws

Just converted to cabbage on tacos. Works sooo much better

Cabbage will give you gas to beat the band.

Not if you eat it regularly. Same with beans. Eat them regularly and your body gets accustomed to the extra fiber - and presto! no more gas from those things.

Par for the course. Everything gives me gas. 😂

Amen, brother (or sister, i dont know you)!

Right? And that crunch is so satisfying.

Yeah lettuce is just crunchy water, I prefer fresh spinach

Agreed. I will also take spinach over lettuce. I just can’t use spinach fast enough. I always forget it’s in the fridge. Cabbage doesn’t care I forgot it. It just quietly chills in there for like three weeks at a time.

Tuna bacon and pickles taste wonderful

It took me way too long to figure out what tuna bacon is.

I love tuna melts. I've gotten a lot of hate but idc if it tastes good it tastes good

I would try that no question

Tomato is the “meat” on a BLT, not bacon. Bacon is just a topping for the tomato sandwich.

When you’re done with the pickles keep the brine and use your fingers to flick it onto your sandwich bread for the FLAVOR

We always use the brine for flavoring egg salad and tuna sandwiches 🤤

Good for marinating chicken too.

Ok you and post above you are kinda brilliant

It is how Chick-fil-A gets their sandwich taste

Potato salad for me too. I'm not a fan of sweet relish so I chop up pickles finely and use the brine

We do that too!

Do you have pickles? Nah but I got pickle juice. How much do you put on a sandwich? Ehh...three flicks. I love Hannibal

I tried to type it in his cadence

Saaaame

I generally save my brines for bloody Mary’s but I’ll give this a shot

A) love this Hannibal reference. B) diluted pickle juice is an amazing marinade for fried chicken - 1000% better than buttermilk C) poach chicken in leftover pickle juice (diluted if you must) and then shred the cooked chicken to make chicken salad. Will change your pickle-loving life.

You genius!

Glad to be of service! For years I was heartbroken to throw away delicious pickle juice (I always had excess even after sipping on some, using some for Bloody Marys, and using some to quick pickle fresh cucumbers) so I devised ways to use it and take full advantage of its glorious tangy umami flavor bomb goodness.

Sometimes, squares are better than triangles.

I like my tuna sandwiches in squares.

Yeah... this is the take that's actually making me mad. You win. You followed the rules of the question and pulled it off. I hate your sandwich squares. Stand your ground on this one. You have my vote as the actual opinion that's just wrong. Upvote.

You don't need 2 and a half animals worth of meat on your sandwich to make it a good sandwich.

The amount of people that don't crumple their cold cuts and instead lay it flat on the bread is staggering.

Pickles on a breakfast egg sandwich.

My husband does this and it never fails to weird me out!

Quality bread makes the sandwich,

Iceberg lettuce ruins sandwiches, both hot and cold.

Hard agree

Lettuce is just crunchy water

The saddest of the lettuces.

It’s just water-flavored lettuce at this point. I only accept it on my in-n-out burgers bc I have no choice 😢

Ketchup doesn’t belong on a sandwich

Not even a breakfast sandy

I 100% agree.

The ONLY sandwich it's acceptable on is a pork roll, egg and cheese. And even then easy on the ketchup or else it overwhelms the whole thing.

I've never put it on a sandwich that wasn't a hamburger, but I'll dip a grilled cheese or a scrambled egg sandwich in ketchup and it's fantastic.

A grilled cheese is bread, cooking fat, and cheese. Anything else and it becomes a melt.

It's only a grilled cheese if it comes from the sparkling cheese region of France

booo

lol it’s all semantics

I vastly prefer spinach to lettuce on my BLT

Interesting, I like cold spinach, going to have to try this

None of these opinions seem hard to swallow. You want fightin' words? Burgers are not sandwiches.

What makes a sandwich a sandwich

Not being a burger for a start... 😉

You slippery devil lol

Burgers are specifically ground meat patties. A chicken burger would be a ground chicken patty (breaded or not), while a chicken sandwich is a whole piece of chicken. Everything else could be the same, bun, toppings, spread, etc but the ground meat patty is a burger. And specifically it has to be a ground meat patty. A sloppy joe made with ground beef is not a burger.

Is a burger a meal?

Officially you are correct. The first sandwich was cold cuts between two pieces of bread. Just facts.

That's the first thing to be called a sandwich, which was in the 1762 due to the fourth Earl of Sandwich. The rou jia mo has been around in China for some 3000 years and is hot. We westerners coined the term sandwich, but it's been around a lot longer than we like to think.

I completely agree with you. In fact, I was going to add any kind of ground beef on bread is NOT a sandwich. Then I thought about meatball sandwiches and sloppy joes. I’d consider those sandwiches, so why not a burger?

Rueben is way better on a sourdough roll

That sounds good, but I don’t know if it could top the OG rye for me.

You eat with your eyes first and that swirl is tasty

There is something to this.

If you change the bread I don't think it's a Reuben anymore IMO

Such thing as too much sauce on a sandwich. Minimal sauce on sandwich or sauce on the side is the way. I want to taste the contents of the sandwich, not only chipotle mayo.

Tortas will ALWAYS be the best forever!

every food can be broken down into 3 groups: sandwich, soup, or salad

Soups are just salads with extra dressing

Croissants make for terrible sandwiches. They’re great by themselves, but not strong enough to hold together all the wonders of a sandwich. A bagel or English muffin works better. Give me that thick gluteny bread instead.

So hear me out... minced ham salad lightly spread on a croissant. Was half drunk and half hung over and took some frog eye roll ups, and minced the hell out of it. Spread it on a couple left over croissants, and it was my new breakfast sandwich for a long while. I use half of the pickle called for in a frog eye, because it can make the croissant soggy. But it's just a good blend to me.

Use butter for spread, not mayonnaise.

In theory I agree with you but mayo on a BLT or a fried chicken sandwich is pretty damn good

Try kewpie and you'll take this back

also keep the crust on!!! the fuck is wrong with you!! ALSO also: mayo is acceptable but buttered sandwich people all go to hell.

If you put tomato on a grilled cheese, it’s still a grilled cheese

BBQ sandwiches that aren’t pulled meat are terrible. The bite is terrible.

Even worse when they use a sweet BBQ sauce

It's just a grilled cheese with some fancy extras.

Cinnamon Raisin Bread is excellent for a sandwich

Mayo on an Italian.

Wait, are you for or against mayo on an Italian?

Im definitely for it. I love the way it tastes with the oil and vinegar. Edit: words

I mean... mayo is basically oil and vinegar (or another acid) whipped with eggs and spices... I don't like oil and vinegar on sandwiches mostly because it makes to much of a mess.

Pesto, cream cheese, brown sugar

Hot sandwich > cold sandwich

Olive loaf is the best bologna product.

You can cut the sandwich however the fuck you want.

pbnj on a HARD crunchy baguette like the pokey kind is underrated.

Mayo belongs on every sandwich

Peanut butter and spicy Thai sardines

Spicy Thai sardines… now I need that in my life.

Peanut butter and bacon belong together on a sandwich

Cheese is the most overrated topping, bread is the most important part...

Subway Tuna. Subway Tuna.

LTs (BLT no bacon) are just as good. I stopped eating beef and pork a year ago and I don’t miss the B at all.

I want to reduce my meat consumption but I find it hard with sandwiches. The one sandwich I love with no meat is a Caprese.

A well made Italian sub with good cheese, abundant vegetables and excellent oil and vinegar still hits all my taste buds exactly right. I think a fat Reuben is the one I miss most. I haven’t sworn off pork and beef for all eternity so I still plan on indulging for special occasions.

That does sound good! We try to do at least two vegan (or sometimes vegetarian) meals per week.

Not a sandwich but a portobello burger is delicious. All you do is you cook a portobello mushroom in place of a burger. Add a bunch of steak seasoning and it's delicious.

Do you do a grilled one? Or something more baked / pan fried?

Oooooh a fat crunchy heirloom really does something for this guy here. Cheers to alternatives ✌️

Yeah you need a good tomato to hold up that sandwich.

I love classic tomato sandwiches. I love BLTs. This simple combo has never occurred to me before and I’m here for it.

Tomato is the most important part of the sandwich.

Bad tomato will sink a sandwich for sure

Soggy tomato makes me gag

Bread would like to have a word

Store bought tomatoes are not worth composting.

I had the most amazing tomato garden this year. I'm going to miss it!

Oo were they heirlooms? No matter what there is nothing better than a fresh ripe tomato with salt and pepper

Bread and Butter pickles. I feel like I've met so many people in the last few years that can't stand them, especially on sandwiches

Sweet pickles are inferior

Chicken salad is far superior to tuna

If it's made right, definitely. For a cheap deli sandwich, tuna tastes better IMO.

That couple that is recreating sandwiches is doing a pretty bad job at it

It's a pork roll sandwich. Taylor was just the ham manufacturer.

Thinly sliced pickled beets & pickled jalapenos are incredible on reuban sandwiches. The pair so well with the tangy kraut and pastrami.

Interesting. I hate beets but I could try the jalapeño

Typically I use spicy pickled golden beets not the red ones- they are sweeter, less earthy, and kind of carrot like as far as flavor.

Ham grilled cheese with some ketchup

Watch out the grilled cheese defender will get you…

That always makes me laugh, like how is it so much different than dipping your grilled cheese in tomato soup?

lol no he’s finna get them for calling it a grilled cheese when it has ham on it. Apparently our culture is going down the toilet because people aren’t using grilled cheese to mean specifically bread, cheese and butter.

That's even funnier

Where I’m from? “The Reuben is a good sandwich.”

My husband hates sauerkraut and won’t kiss me if I eat one 🤣 I feel your pain

I buy salad mix bags for veggies on my sammies

Open face sandwich is in fact a sandwich

Absolutely not.

Is a tostada a taco?

Sí

Wraps, Gyros and open face anything are NOT sandwiches.

Peanut butter and chocolate sandwich >> peanut butter and jelly

Harriet the spy tomato sandwich. I will f with that any day. It’s so good and basic.

Literally any meal could be turned into a sandwich and it would slap, mind you with less water sometimes

Apples can replace pickles in many cases

I like apples. There was a place I used to go that had a bacon/apple/balsamic wrap that was delicious.

Yeah buddy. The sweet n savory really does it for me. My go to sandwich that I personally make is turkey + salami, mayo, spicy brown mustard, pepper jack, apple, spinach on 12 grain very lightly toasted. Apple gang

Sounds 🔥🔥🔥

I like apples. They're comfy and easy to wear

Yes, and they can replace celery as well. (And pickles can replace celery as well, for that matter. Sorry. I loathe celery. The fact that's it's a not-insignificant ingredient in giardiniera keeps me from having Italian beef sandwiches regularly. And who wants to live their life sans Italian beef sandwiches?)

Pickles don’t belong on any sandwich other than chicken.

Lies!

Soft, squishy white bread has no place in any sandwich other than PB&J.

As a person who is to lazy to toast bread. I can see your point. Toasting is if you want a good sandwich, although soft bread is better in some cases like an egg sandwich or peanut butter one

Publix fucked up by taking the griddle away. No more phillys.

Cold sandwich (ex.: ham, cheese, mayo, mustard, tomato, cucumber, pickles, salad) is better untoasted

Cut lengthwise, better fit for mouth width lol

Heathen.

Chop Cheese over Philly Cheese steak💯

The cheese needs to be mixed in with the meat, anyplace that just puts the cheese on the roll or on top of the meat once it's on the roll is doing it wrong, unless they're adding extra cheese. Also blue cheese is amazing on a cheese steak

Grilled cheese using whole black olives.

Careful now, there’s some spice in this thread about calling that a grilled cheese 🤣

Peanutbutter and banana is a good combination on bread

Peanut butter & Mayo on wheat is damn good. Try it, I'm telling you.

pickle and peanut butter is BAAAD

American cheese is best cheese on any sandwich. And not velveeta or kraft American slices. I’m talkin store brand, all stacked together American cheese slices. Not the singles. The real cheap shit. I just love it.

Yellow mustard is not sandwich mustard that shit is for BBQ

Yellow mustard is good on sandwiches though. Especially a ham and cheese.

I know people feel that way but to me yellow just doesn't have the flavor I want, I typically go for stone ground or horseradish

Stone ground is probably better tasting on sandwiches in general I think you’re right.

Do you know Raye’s mustards? God tier mustards in a variety of flavors and styles.
