sandwiches are good 'cause they're substantial and satisfying, but freshness is the soul of good sandwiches.

i love when they're overloaded with fresh vegetables on good breads. it doesn't matter what kind of bread, but fresh.

Manjari used to make excellent sandwiches that were so full of stuff that they were falling apart all over the place. greens, avocados, cheeses, sauces. sooo good.

the best sandwich i ever made was some kind of sweet ham and french ementhal, with caramelized onions, olives and some random lettuce greens, on a baguette that i hollowed out. i pressed it between some books over night and grilled it panini style the next day. had it on a picnic with wine.

avocado might be my favourite thing on a sandwich after mustard. but *everything* is better with mustard.

My top faves are:

-The veggie sandwich that they used to serve at Tequilla Bookworm: On a nice rosemary foccacia bread. Filling: tomatoes, very thinly sliced purple onions, avocado, lots of sprouts, mayo and dijon. Yum!

-old fashioned watercress sandwiches. They remind me of my visits to England as a child, my aunt used to make us watercress sandwiches and serve them to us by the pool. :)

Recently I made one that was baby spinach, sprouts, humus, thinly sliced cucumber and a satisfying slice of mozzarella on dark rye bread.

my favourite sandwich to make....like a panini

[disordered]

...starts with a Hamilton Beach grill (like a George Foreman grill)...preheat, and when heated, I place 2 slices of a heavy-duty bread, like a ciabatta, brushed with fresh garlic-infused oil...after the bread gets a bit warm and crispy and oily, i take the bread out, leaving the grill running, and then on the bread I put some butter, dijon mustard, sliced cheeses (emmenthal, maybe some cheddar, gruyere), and some meats...sliced ham, turkey....then put the sandwich together, throw it back between the grill plates, and grill until it gets crispier on the outside and the cheese is all melty.

YUMMMM!!!!! serve with a pickle and a frosty cold beverage, or a lovely las of wine.

oh I don't know, I like the image of a "lass of wine" sounds like someone I'd like to hang out with
