(15,082 posts)When I was pregnant with my second child, I craved liverwurst sandwiches with onions and mustard.
Still love it.

(7,412 posts)It is by no means a Southern sandwich, but the owner was a Northerner. That was somewhat unusual at the time. Damn good sandwich!

Shermann
(7,412 posts)It's a pretty spartan sandwich even with the cheese, why simplify it further??
It needs mayo as well, but I'm willing to overlook that for now.

(10,200 posts)though I waver back and forth on mayo and mustard, or butter and mustard. Has to have mustard, though. I do butter and mustard when I'm packing a B&C to take on the road.

(7,412 posts)I've never heard of it. If this is a list of the basic 40 stalwart sandwiches, it should be immediately replaced with the venerable egg sandwich.

(10,200 posts)instead of tuna melt. I never had a tuna melt till I moved to the South. They're not terrible, but give me a plain old tuna on toast with mayo and lettuce. And a bowl of half-sour pickles at the table, like when I was a kid in Brooklyn.
Shermann
(7,412 posts)Dedicating two positions to tuna sandwiches is questionable.
Since there is a plurality of "salad" sandwiches, I think it makes sense to go with the melt version of tuna to differentiate it.

bucolic_frolic
(43,128 posts)on a whole wheat Kaiser roll with poppy seeds. Tomato, lettuce, bacon, Ranch, mustard, mayo, onions, cheese (Swiss, probably).
I don't cook like that anymore. But it was good, I still remember it 14 years later.

(63,221 posts)1. (#8) Lobster Roll, prefer the hot CT style w/ melted butter to the cold MA/ME style w/ mayo, but love both.
2. (#20) Caprese, this is so simple but delicious if you use fresh mozzarella, heirloom or organic tomatoes and freshly baked loaf of Ciabatta or other crusty artisan bread w/ a basil chiffonade and a drizzle of EVOO. In fact, I prefer it open faced with one crust, toasted. it's one of my favorite summer meals along w/ a side salad.
3. (#3) BLT, another simple classic, but prime ingredients are key. Center cut, crispy bacon, romaine or iceberg lettuce (needs to be crispy and watery), organic garden, vine-ripened or heirloom tomatoes, Hellmann's (or Best Foods if you are not in the northeast)
mayonnaise, a bit of salt and pepper, toasted high-quality wheat, white or whole-grain bread. Perfection!
4. (#21) Patty Melt, if you are in the mood for something decadent and delicious, the PM is your answer. Traditionally, it is a ground beef patty grilled w/ sauteed onions, swiss cheese and served on grilled rye bread, but other variations are common. Not sure where it originated, but most likely somewhere in LA back in the 1940's.
5. Not listed: Eggplant parmesan sub/sandwich. Hard to find a good one, so best to make it yourself. However, if you find a good one, stick with it. Eggplant is so under-rated and is rarely cooked or seasoned right. You really need an Italian grandmother to make this for you, or somebody who cooks like one.
IcyPeas
(21,858 posts)And I agree a caprese sammie is simple and delicious.
Eggplant parmesan is popular, wonder why it didn't make the list 🤔
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)That makes it even better!
I make a Caprese toast, which is just a crusty loaf cut lenghtwise into sections, topped w/ fresh mozzarella drizzed w/ a little EVOO and put in the toaster oven. When it's done, I put the slices of tomato and the shreds of basil on w/ a little salt and pepper and maybe a tiny drizzle of EVOO to top it off. It is so delicious!
And I am convinced that people who say they don't like eggplant/aubergine have never really had it well prepared.
