Vote for the GREATEST Sandwich

[The Lone Liberal]

Poll question: Vote for the GREATEST Sandwich

Vote early and often. If you have a favorite place that makes the best tell us about where it is and what makes it best.

1. Uh, the voting here isn't like the great City of Chicago.

i.e., vote early and vote often. Software only allowed me one vote for a lobster roll with beer.

3. Vote early and vote often

Old saying down here in the Southwest. he he.

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. Huh, that saying originated in Chicago,

where even the dead can vote early and often. True story -- it took me 5 years to get my father stricken from the voter rolls -- even after he had died. I considered getting someone to go vote in his place.

2. As a young man dating in high school...............

my girlfriends parents belonged to the Lone Palm Country Club in Lakeland, Florida. It was made with oversized pumpernikel bread, super thin sliced corned beef, russian dressing and jarlsberg swiss cheese! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. To die for! Luckily I left her, but still got the recipe that we use to this day!

4. Get your pastrami sandwich at

The second ave deli

http://www.2ndavedeli.com/home.html

They deliver!!!

[primavera]

25. Why is it that NYC is the only place to get decent pastrami?

It seems like everywhere else, people want to cut the fat and you wind up with shoe leather.

[GabysPoppy]

34. For the same reason that

You can only get a real egg cream in New York

6. A Primanti Bros. fry sandwich with the works and a Mello Yello.

Yeah, I've been to Pittsburgh. Primanti Bros. (DDDRRROOOLLLL....) Heaven for your taste buds, hell for your arteries. Those Pastrami sandwiches with french fries in them, dripping with sauerkraut and mayo for me, please. Ohhhhhhhh yeah..... And the next time I go to Pittsburgh, the first thing I'm doing is heading over to Primanti Bros. for some o' dat.

Now you got me thinking about this. I'm gonna go make a sandwich now.:-)

7. Post-Thanksgiving

Slice open a Portuguese roll. Smear both sides liberally with stuffing. Add white and dark turkey meat w/skin. Add sliced cucumber. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cranberry sauce optional.:9

10. Runs a close second.

Gotta skip the cukes, though: the gas I have after eating fresh cucumber makes a fine WMD.

I add miracle whip, lettuce and tomato, and use a Kaiser or onion roll, but any breadlike substance will do in a pinch.

[trof]

8. club club club

double decker with smoked turkey, bacon, let & tom, mayo and Durkee's Famous Sauce!
With chips (not fries) and a cold glass of milk.
heaven

9. A Ruben and a Beer...and a clothespin for YOUR nose.

I would be impossible to be near for the next 24-36 hours, but turn it down? SURELY you jest (and don't call me Shirely!)

Had them all over the country, and the best is gone forever! RIP CITY DELI II, Port Huron Michigan, maker of the best Ruben sandwich in the known universe, and unduplicateable as the owner made his own kraut.

[supernova]

11. Ruben with a dark german beer

:9

Yummy.

[Tyler Durden]

12. You buy this time, I'll buy next time.

LUNCHTIME!

[onyourleft]

13. Any of the above with...

wine. I hate beer. :puke: That is why I never toast anyone here -- no wine icons. :)

[Cassandra]

30. Here you go, darlin'

I'll take the lobster roll or the pastrami sandwich with champagne!
(although I do like Dr. Brown's cream soda)

edit: don't ask

[CO Liberal]

14. Me, In Between Two Blondes

:-)

[why not]

19. heck yeah

now thats my kind of sandwich.

[Loonman]

15. Corned beef on rye witha cel-ray

Vanilla egg cream for dessert.

[Brewman_Jax]

16. New Orleans po' boy

French bread sliced open and filled with remoulade (spicy mayo), shredded lettuce, tomato, fried oyster and shrimp (one of my favorites), served with fries and Abita beer. :9

[I AM SPARTACUS]

21. Clearly, these pollsters are not of the initiated...

whether "hot roast beef with mayonnaise and gravy only" or fried seafood, a po'boy is the veritable definition of "greatest sandwich"

An Aside: one Mardi Gras, a friend and I dressed up as the bottom bread and the top bread of a po'boy...accosting and spontaneously embracing passers-by to be the "meat-in-the-middle"...tasty po'boys were made that day...

[Brewman_Jax]

17. sorry, double post

n/t

[lpbk2713]

18. BLT, no Coke.

Ruins the flavor, doesn't blend well with mayo. Maybe Sprite or iced tea.

[MissMillie]

20. Reuben!!!!

with kosher pickle on the side and a bag of chips.

[LynneSin]

22. How can you NOT have the classic PBJ

There is a sandwich out there that can top the greatest of Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.

How you overlooked this is beyond me!!!

:eyes:

[elcondor]

23. Tuna melt with a coke

Mmmm . . . I also love pastrami though! Or peanut butter and banana. Hmm, I probably should be talking about this when I'm hungry, huh? ;-)

[ACK]

24. Shrimp Po Boy or muffaletta

There was this place in Little Five Points called the Baker's cafe. They made an incredible filling muffaletta.

I think they are gone now though. Sigh.

[Moosenose]

26. Shrimp Po-boys....

made fresh in the French Corner. Nothing else even comes CLOSE.

[sangh0]

27. The Cubano

Roast pork, Ham, Cheese, a slice of pickle, and a splash of garlic sauce on a hero bread which is then toasted in a press.

Too bad I don't eat pork or cheese anymore. A pickle sandwich with garlic sauce just doesn't cut it.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Grinders!

Sort of like a sub, but better. Great with a heavy beer.

[KCDem]

29. turkey, avocado, and mustard on wheat pita

mmm, I go through phases when I live off of them.

[SOteric]

31. The Saturday Night Special

Chunks of corned beef, potato salad and garlic sauce in a pita.

But I haven't been able to eat corned beef since I was 19. *sigh*

[BritishHuman]

32. I voted "other" - all your sandwiches are American!

Nobody eats any of that stuff over here.

Smoked Ham, Caledonian Mature Cheddar, tomatoes, cucumber and Branstons Pickle on wholemeal bread gets my vote, and not just because it's what I'm having for tea tonight.

[SyracuseDemocrat]

33. Gyro

from Philly Steak. mmm :)

[mvd]

35. bologna and cheese

I've never been a sandwich eater, but I like the less tangy taste of balogna.

[roguevalley]

36. tuna. any kind. Also, a good egg salad.

put that with imported FRENCH carbonated lemonade and
zere is nothing in da werld better. <Crappy french thing
there but my dad was born on Bastille Day and I'm still
caught up in the euphoria)
