A great sandwich starts with really good bread, excellent quality meats (main ingredient), really tasty cheese, and ends with whatever condiments you like.

For me one of my favorites it is a toasted thick slice of bread topped with thinly sliced smoked ham that has been heated up in a skillet, then topped with a fried egg, smoked provolone or swiss cheese, topped off with slices of onion, tomato, and some leaf lettuce. I always like a good mayo and horseradish too.
but this is not just for breakfast.

one of my altime top of the list favorites is a Cuban. Never have I had one that tastes like they do in Tampa, Fl though. I really need to get a good Cuban bread recipe and try making it myself. I love those sandwiches. From the toasted crunchy bread, which is really good toasted with butter all by itself, right down to the ham and pork (I know same animal just different cut) and the cheese, mustard and pickle. This sandwhich is to die for.

Extra sharp white cheddar. I am getting to be a food snob. I want natural and organic leave out the dyes and flavorings, stop killing me with the pesticides and hormones.

Avocado! My dh and I enjoy this sandwich. Yes, Jax, good bread!

Good Rye or dark grainy bread, avocado, tomatoes, sliced Havarti cheese, raw cole slaw mix, spicy mustard, wasabi, peppered turkey... on the side a few olives, pickles, fruit, or any other salad mix vegetables you have in frig... we also like canned pickled beets on the side.

I agree! We have switched to the white cheddar and pretty much organic on most of our foods and everyone says there is no difference but it is indeed remarkable the difference and the much better taste! We have a place here called Central Market and they have the best of the best and wow!

I am really loving organic and natural foods and my are too. Much more flavor

When I think about it organic is how my parents raised us. We had a farm and we grew our own veggies and a lot of times our own meat. We never had paturized adn homogenized milks. Then came along "PROGRESS" and now we have more sickness and disease than Carter has liver pills. Cancer is out of control, heart disease, diabetes, and the list goes on. I say back to the REAL food and we might start seeing a difference in our kids health and our own.
