I've been having a thing for Italian subs lately. I get them at this local place, and they are the BEST! I have them hold the oil though. I'm not crazy about oil on my sandwich.
I know it sounds weird, but I'm not into most things being deep fried, aside from maybe seafood, onion rings and French fries. I like fried chicken, but prefer my chicken baked in the oven with some kind of glaze or sauce.
I've had these in Philadelphia's suburbs... To me from London, it was like someone put a whole cow in a sub, then cheese made from the milk that that cow had. I mean, the only thing missing was veal from its calf. Was alright though, a lot of food, a lot of grease too, but, was alright. I figure eating a ton of these though is a good way to get fat. It was also in PA, in a Philadelphia suburb, where in 2001 I first saw and had a Subway sandwich. When I first ate from Subway, my own country didn't have Subway, I mean, I heard rumour of one at London's Victoria station, but back then, I couldn't find it. (I can now). (Also, UK has Subway now).
Whenever a place dumps oil on my sammich I think they are trying to hide something and never go there again.
I like the ones mum used to make for my lunches in the summer when I was a kid. She'd warm up a can of soup and I'd have some with my sandwich and a glass of milk. Sometimes, she's slice an apple in half, peel and core it, then put some peanut butter in the center of each halft where the divot is from the removal of the core. Those were the best sandwiches. Never got a cold shoulder or a hot tongue, either. I just had to say thank you and my prayers with her, before eating. What the hell happened to my life? It sucks today.
I once made a myself cheese burger sandwhich.. And thanks to the miracle of social media I took pictures of my creation:
Italian subs are nothing without the herb oil they put on them! Or the pickles. Onions are also essential, as are tomatoes, lettuce, and cold cuts. I don't like ham in my Italian subs.
I Googled and found lots of recipes, and it is made commercially too, see if you can find out what the original brand was. However, It may not taste the same.
Gee, a new invention, it needs a name too though, I know ! Let's call it; The Ham Burger ! McDonald's !
What do you think of the Old English? ...a precooked, flattened burger topped with cheese and tomato and all grilled together like a grilled cheese sandwich inside two slices of bread, not a roll. Around here they use rye bread and throw in a few slices of bacon as well.
I don't think I could have one if I had to make it myself. For the technicality of me probably eating what I was making before I could put it all together and call it a sandwich. I'd lack the willpower.
prosciutto sandwich in and of itself is not all that good - instead, a slice or two of it with a slice or two of mozzarella can add much flavor to a mortadella or veal sandwich
Buffalo burger. Bleeding rare with swiss or provalogne, leaf spinach, tomato, extra pickles, ketchup and sour cream, avocado and a toasted bun. A burger is a sammich, right?
OK OK, I didn't know when my post got nerfed. I'll re-post without a link and then try to summarize: It's impossible not to win with cheese, my dad used to make fun of me and my brother saying "You could pour melted cheese on sawdust and you'd eat it". The following was my post on a different board. ____________________________________________________________ This may be against site rules as some advertisement, but it was an orgasm on my tongue. I used brown flaxseed bread and marble cheese (actual real cheese not some processed ****). One clean side of bread before I laid the cheese Other side If anybody has different theories, please let me know. :EDIT: I was talking about a grilled cheese sandwich and I used salted butter
I've never made one from scratch, either. Instead, I have a mental list of all the local spots that know how to make one, and zoom for one of them when I crave one. That said, it's really not all that difficult to pull off quickly with a double sided electric grill. Just make the burger first, then assemble the sandwich after buttering the outside facing sides of both pieces of bread, and grill. This is one of those creations which is much more than the sum of its parts...they are really good.
