Mine would be the simple man sandwich. Fried bologna with american cheese, tomato, mayo, & mustard on honey wheat bread.

Several Forum users recently encouraged me to get into home smoking of food. We're up and running and have had particular success producing very succulent smoked chicken.

I also make my own bread, so I'm gonna stick a generous heap of apple smoked chicken between two big slices of my own stoneground wholemeal, throw in some salads from the garden, top it with chutney and mild chilli jelly (not to overpower the smokiness), and I'm going to call it...

The Smokey Player Sandwich.

The 'Twelvebar':

A hot sandwich. Grilled rye bread filled with Montreal Smoked Meat (anyone who has had it knows it beats all other forms of brisket like pastrami or corned beef, hands down,) stone ground mustard, sauerkraut and a nice peppered Monterey Jack cheese. Not too far off a reuben, but much better in my opinion.

The breakfast sandwich would have to be one of the fondest memories of my youth on cold building sites in the middle of december. Basicaly its a fried breakfast in a massive hollowed out bun, sausages, eggs, bacon, beans, tomatoes, black pudding, bubble and squeak and mushrooms. Keep you grafting all day on one meal, in a sandwich.

Then theres the irish version of that, that i enjoyed whilst working with a irish groundworks gang. Steak, bacon, mashed potato, chips (like fries but bigger). Hardy food for a hard job.

Two sandwich's that when you look at em your arteries start screaming for mercy.

Then theres the other side of the coin, cold corned beef sandwich's in sub zero temperatures. Not at all pleasant in the slightest bit.

Nice one Ninja but there is also the chip butties dunked into a bowl of hot tomato soup. Sheer heaven.

Ah I leave my tomato soup for steak and kidney pies mate. Nothing like a steak and kidney pie upside down in a bowl with a can of cambells poured over it.

Thats 2 am after the pub when you cant find a decent kebab house, food though

Haha, I worked on a building site once and the labourers there, for their dinner all had the same thing. A meat and potato pie on a muffin, swilled down with a pint bottle of milk.
They loved it.

That sounds fantastic, Ceri! Do you deliver?
That's probably one of the higher rated (on the healthmeter) sandwiches here as well. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

Tomato soup is traditionally mated with a grilled cheese sandwich around here.
An aside, what is black pudding?

I wasn't hungry until I read this thread! What are you doing Gratz? Collecting recipes for your new sandwich shop!!

Black pudding is a sausage made from pigs blood, pork fat and cereal.
There are various recipes.
The original and best black puddings are from a town in the northwest of England just down the road from me called Bury.
I don't like them personally but if you can ever get to try one, you might.

Thanks.

In my youth I worked in an English Style pub. The owner was from Manchester ( I believe,) although our menu was all, in his words, authentically English, he said there was a lot of food he wouldn't serve because (again his words,) "..It is just shite" i believe he considered the blood based foods in that category, no blood pudding etc. lot's of pies, and the like though. And beans on toast.

Oh dear oh dear - call it "bloodwurst", and then suddenly it sounds foreign and therefore OK... Flippin' delicious - my arteries scream no, but my stomach yells ye-e-es! My stomach shouts louder...

BTW: thank you Gridlok! I have a feeling this thread might now go in the direction of RR's "In praise of great beer" and get real. I think tomorrow I'll make some bread and then build the sandwich I just invented on the fly (above) and give it a taste.

We can all start posting photos of our sandwiches - where will it end?

Great thread, Gratz! - C
