I have mastered the sandwich
I have perfected the sandwich. Focaccia bread, sliced for sandwiches, cheese (swiss, provolone, cheddar... whatever), a mix of deli meats (salami, pepperoni, turkey, ham), sliced dill pickle, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, mustard vinaigrette, black pepper... that is all... a brush with olive oil (or butter), into the panini press (old George Forman grill). It is done. I have mastered it. A close runner up is ham and swiss with sauerkraut and mustard...

Sounds good @judsoncarroll4 . I got a couple for you. Corned beef, swiss cheese, tomato, avocado, onion, lettuce, hot english mustard on toasted turkish bread. Boiled egg, beetroot, lettuce with wasabi mayo on fresh sourdough. Lastly, sardines, lettuce, pickled ginger, tomato, cucumber with mild chilli mayo on a wrap or flatbread.

No Vegemite? LOL! Honestly, I tried that stuff a time or two.....NOT a fan!
-
Very much an acquired taste @judsoncarroll4 . As a kid, hated the stuff. Now my tastes have changed somewhat, I quite like it. A nice snack is vegemite, avocado and grilled cheese on toast but I guess vegemite toast is an aussie staple. Actually Ash Barty(tennis champ) is a vegemite fan. So the company did some promotion work with her and earlier this year I bought a T shirt and stubby cooler. I might suprise you with a photo of that sometime!

Well, you may be right... I haven't had it since I was 5. Dang, now that song is back in my head!
-
@judsoncarroll4 I hope that song sticks with you all day!
-
So does "Who Can It Be Now".... love the sax on that one... I'm a county and jazz musician, but I've had nothing but 80s "New Wave" playing in my had for a month or two! I'll be lying awake at 4 AM, and suddenly "Safety Dance" or "Don't You Forget About Me" is playing in my head... the music on the radio when I was a kid. It has inspired me to re-discover a lot of those recordings. Gosh, The Cars were awesome!

Greg Ham was the sax and flute playing member of Men at Work. Super talented, unfortunately took his own life after a long and protracted law suit, claiming he copied the flute riff on Down Under from another aussie song, Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree! Go figure.
I was in my 20's in the 80's and the music was very influential. I lived in the country, 4hrs drive from Sydney but managed to see live, Eurythmics, Joan Armatrading, Stevie Nicks, George Michael, David Bowie. Saw the Talking Heads movie, Stop Making Sense, wish I could find it now, loved it.
-
Wow, that is sad about Greg Ham. I don't really hear the similarity all that much, but maybe it is just the way I've heard Kookaburra played.... even then, it would have fallen under "fair use" in most countries. BTW, have you ever heard Tom Waits' version of "Waltzing Matilda"? That is one of my all time favorite recordings.
-
@judsoncarroll4 you actually made me laugh with this post. As I was reading your sandwich description I almost paniced and had to re-read it. I thought you had created something that DID NOT have onion on it. Silly me :-)
-
No I cannot cook without onions!
-
Just to bring in a little vegetarian fare, how about fresh sliced tomato, with sliced avocado and fresh basil, with stone ground mustard and onion on pumpernickel rye bread. I may be playing to the wrong audience, but, you never know how good it is til you try it.
-
I'll add to the vegetarian - non-vegan motif: there are these things called "maiswaffeln" in Germany. They are like our rice cakes, only made with popcorn. So a salted popcorn. I just LOVE camambert (sic) or brie with thinly sliced tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers atop these things. Crunchy and yummy.
@attydennis1 - have you tried avocado mashed up into sour cream with onions and tomato on top of rye?
-
I LOVE camembert! Sometimes you can find one so ripe it is nearly as strong in taste, but not in smell, as limburger.... then, I eat it with liverwurst and pickled onions! More mild ones, I generally eat plain or with eggs.... or in a thinly pounded meat cutlet, breaded and fried. Best though, is baked on oysters.
-
Either camembert of brie is nice rolled in cranberry and baked (-:
but, @judsoncarroll4 , I've never had it with Oysters. Fresh? Canned? Smoked? Anything?
-
Fresh is best... smoked would be my second choice.
-
Oh, and mushrooms.... few things pair as well together as camembert and mushrooms!
-
well, mushrooms in themselves --- ermagerd..... yum
