Did you know that August is National Sandwich Month? Well it is, now you know! As I was doing my search for a sandwich article I started asking myself some questions about building an ideal deli sandwich. What mix of ingredients would make the sandwich scream ‘hello’ to me?
These are the important points to ponder about building a deli sandwich…as LindaJM and I see it!
The Bread!
Clouda9 - The bread must be fresh…stale bread is for making breadcrumbs or feeding the chicks. If I am making the sandwich here at home, I have a favorite 5-grain loaf that is always in the breadbox, when dining out at the deli then sour dough, lightly toasted starts off my sandwich.
LindaJM – For a perfect deli sandwich kick it off with white or Bavarian freshly baked bread roll (Bridgeford) or alternatively, a French roll that is sprinkled with cheese of choice and warmed in the oven.
The Condiments!
Clouda9 – When you see the ingredients I love in my deli sandwich, all it needs is a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. If I am feeling frisky, a dollop of stone ground mustard is added to the sandwich.
LindaJM – No fuss additions are a spread of mayonnaise on both slices of bread and a little mustard to the top half.
The Ingredients!
Clouda9 – Please make mine veggie, yum! The fresh factor is essential here too, especially when it comes to the veggies. I’ll take heaps of lettuce and spinach, tomato slices, red onion rings, 3 or 4 slices of cucumber, lots of jalapeno pepper slices, avocado chunks, a sprinkling of alfalfa sprouts, a thin slice or two of pepper jack cheese piled high on that toasted 5-grain or sour dough bread. Sheesh my mouth is watering…brb, need to go make one of these right now!
LindaJM – As the story goes she has had some strange requests...the extra pickle gal was thought to be pregnant, lol! So this is what LindaJM offers up for her deli sandwiches...onions, lettuce, tomato, olives, pepperoncinis, pickles, mozzarella and or cheddar cheese, Canadian bacon aka. "ham", salami, roast beef, pastrami, turkey, fajita chicken strips, avocado and alfalfa sprouts…everyone chooses to have or hold any of the ingredients.
Now the only thing that remains to be said…what fixins' do you pile on to make up your perfect deli sandwich?

What an interesting review! I loved hearing your take on deli sandwiches right next to Linda's.
ReplyDeleteFun review. I'm heading over to the lens now -- but first I had to make myself a sandwich...
ReplyDeleteOh I enjoyed this double perspective. The best thing about a deli sandwich is it can be almost as unique as we are. Like Rebecca, I've got a rumble in my belly now though! :)
