TTMA Sandwich Choices

[heartofglass]

Do you eat them? How often?
I love them and used to eat them every day for lunch. I need to buy some supplies though.

Do you prefer to buy or make yourself?
Both.

Best bread for the job?
I like the coarse grain with seeds.

Favourite cold fillings
Turkey, tomato, mayo, and cheese

Favourite hot fillings
Turkey, tomato, mayo, cheese, bacon

Bonus: how should sliced bread sarnies be cut, rectangles or triangles?
First, I had to google sarnie. Two, I don't slice my sarnies at all. That just makes more edges for things to fall out of.

You are clearly my people.
Excellent answer.

Didn't think about 'sarnies'. Additional question: what else do you call them in your region?

Sandwiches

[pghtruelove]

How often do I eat them? Probably about 5-6 days a week.
Buy it or make yourself? If it's a pb&j I prefer SO makes it for me. Other than that, I like to make mine.
Best bread? I love a good sandwich on a burger bun. But usually just in whole grain bread. I like the bread with all the seeds and oats in it.
Cold? Pb&j
Hot? Salami, peperoni, turkey, cheese mustard and pickles. (Also like this cold)
Usually just cut it down the middle.

Do I eat them - of course! Normally a few times a week.
Buy or make - I have a soft spot for Jimmy Johns, but normally H makes my sandwiches for me.
Bread - I'd love a crusty French loaf, but for everyday sandwiches we typically go whole grain regular bread.
Cold fillings - this will make me a weirdo, but I LOVE liver wurst. It grosses H out, so it's rarely in the house. Otherwise, my favorite is Boars Head buffalo chicken with mayo and Muenster cheese.
Hot - grilled ham and cheese
Bonus: I don't slice my sammies.

i go though phases with eating. I used to eat a sandwich almost everyday. Now it's once-twice a week

I prefer them on a flax, whole wheat type of bread and lightly toasted made at home

Give me all the ingredients! My fave combo is packed with Turkey, arugula, tomato, cucumber, avocado. Salt, pepper, mayo, dijon or spicy mustard.

Rectangle cut or sometimes triangle not particular

[belle0720]

Do you eat them? How often? I used to eat a sandwich like every day for lunch, but I try to limit my bread now so maybe like 3 times a month?

Do you prefer to buy or make yourself? Buy

Best bread for the job? French

Favourite cold fillings Italian Cold Cuts (Capicola, Mortadella, Salami..)

Favourite hot fillings Grilled Chicken

I don't know what a sarnie is but I usually cut slice bread sandwiches corner to corner.

[beersandweirs]

Do you eat them? How often?
- Yes, of course! Some weeks I will do pb&j or pb&h for lunches, but sometimes it will be a while between sandwich times.

Do you prefer to buy or make yourself?
- I would prefer to buy sandwiches usually, because I don't always have all the toppings around that I want.

Best bread for the job?
- For pb&j I just use regular wheat bread. For a sandwich I buy I like a crusty french roll.

Favourite cold fillings
- Italian cold cuts, onion, lettuce, tomato, olive, pepperoncini, oil & vinegar

Favourite hot fillings
- I'm not a big hot sandwich fan, so I'll go with grilled cheese

- Triangles for sure

I eat a sandwich almost daily. I always buy whole wheat bread with oats on top, but it's some reduced calorie thing so two slices are 80 calories. Sometimes I do buy the whole wheat sandwich skinnies or I use a hamburger bun if we have them. Oh, and pretzel buns are great, too!

I use olive oil mayo, my lactose free cheddar or american cheese or swiss cheese, shaved turkey breast or chicken breast (has to be from the deli, not prepackaged), and pickles. Or PB&J or a grilled cheese - I butter my bread for the grilled cheese and add pickles.

I don't really like hot sandwiches, aside from grilled cheese and an occasional french dip or Arby's roast beef, but I do like a hot turkey sub from Firehouse subs - it's got a cranberry dressing that is SO good.

I don't cut my sandwiches, and for LO I use cookie cutters to cut hers!

[periwinkledaydreams]

I'm eating a sandwich right now.

ETA its spicy tuna salad on toasted whole wheat

"Can I share with you my worldview?"


Do you eat them? How often? All the time. Regularly.


Do you prefer to buy or make yourself?
Different strokes for different sandwiches. If I have the right pickles I want to make my own. Pbj I want to make my own. I'm not ever going to argue if someone makes me a sandwich, though.

Best bread for the job?
Whole wheat for a regular old sammie, big crusty french for a more hearty and full one.

Favourite cold fillings
Turkey bacon avocado cucumbers maybe some sprouts or else pickles, and some good cheese.. creole honey mustard.

Favourite hot fillings?
Roast beef + swiss + horseradish mayo, or similar to my cold choice (less the cucumbers and things) but toasted.

I'm really bad a favorites and don't discriminate much when it comes to sandwiches. I like them mostly.

Bonus: how should sliced bread sarnies be cut, rectangles or triangles?
PBJ rectangles, anything else triangles

The crust ratio on the diagonal cut is terrible. The top crust on traditional bread is the worst part. The diagonal cut is offensive.

Agree. On a traditional loaf of bread the top crust always dries out and has a weird texture to it.

I'm afraid if I share my sandwich feels you are all going to think I am a lunatic.

Unless you say you don't like them.. you can't be wrong about sandwiches otherwise.

[beersandweirs]

@jemomma I can't hate, I like mostly plain things, too. Oil and vinegar is a big step for me.

H sent me this link earlier, seemed apropos Yummy BLT

[stinybean]

Do you eat them? How often? Yes, almost daily.

Do you prefer to buy or make yourself? Both, depends on what I'm making.

Best bread for the job? Depends on the sandwich. Heroes go with the most excellent of sandwiches. But raisin bread goes with pb&j.

Favourite cold fillings Fresh mozzarella & tomato

Favourite hot fillings cheese

I Googled sarnies & it said it was a bacon sandwich? Is that right? Meanwhile I don't cut my sandwiches at all.

Okay. I will only eat dry sandwiches, meaning no mayo no mustard no liquid condiment of any kind.

The only Lunch meat I eat is turkey, pepperoni or roast beef.

If I have a turkey sandwich it has to be plain, meaning turkey and bread.

Pepperoni sandwich must have pepper jack cheese, tomatoes and banana peppers. If I'm feeling crazy I will add shredded lettuce.

Cold roast beef sandwiches can only be roast beef and bread. Hot roast beef sandwiches can have Swiss cheese but nothing else and the bread has to be crunchy/crusty.

I will take my straight jacket now thanks.

I'm convinced you are the female version of my H. His sandwich is literally bread, meat, bread.

[holliberry28]

I love sandwiches and would eat them multiple times a day if I could.

Since all my weight loss efforts are low carb, bread is the first thing to go.

I prefer to make them myself. I'll get a sandwich on a whole wheat bagel if I'm out. At home, I buy Russian black bread


Which is amazing.

Favorite cold is turkey and cheese with mustard, mayo, or butter. I also like ham and cheese. Muenster is my favorite. Sometimes I'll just have bread with butter and cheese.

Favorite hot is egg and cheese. I usually make open face egg sandwiches with one whole egg/egg white omelette, with a slice of cheese on top, skip the top slice of bread to save calories.

I don't really slice but if I do, I think a horizontal slice makes it tastes better.

If I'm being extra healthy, I'll buy the sesame Ezekiel bread at trader joes.

[shahoi]

Man, the majority of you ladies eat some fancy sandwiches! I love sandwiches. I like to make my own pb&j and grilled cheese. We buy the Sara Lee whole grain white bread, so that is what we use for everything. At Subway I always get wheat. If I make a cold sandwich at home, it's pretty boring - turkey, whatever cheese we have, and mayo... I sometimes add chips to it for a crunch. I also love blt's and bacon egg and cheese.

[baytosa2013]

Do you eat them? How often?
I go in spurts. Sometimes I eat them a couple times a week and sometimes not at all.

Do you prefer to buy or make yourself?
I prefer to buy but that's because everything tastes better when someone else makes it lol

Best bread for the job?
Sourdough rolls or slices

Favourite cold fillings
Turkey -very thin, Swiss, lettuce tomato pickles mayo and mustard

Salami, cheese, mayo and mustard


Favourite hot fillings
Tuna, Swiss, tomato, pickles, banana peppers, red onion and mustard

Bonus: how should sliced bread sarnies be cut, rectangles or triangles? This is crucial info I must know about you.

I don't usually cut my sandwich in half, handle that shit like a boss! But if I do it's rectangles unless it's a BLT and then triangles.
