US National Sandwich Month: what’s your dream sandwich?

Sandwich art

Go on, you know how to use the Comments section!

UPI, in a healthy-eating initiative, has spread the word that August is National Sandwich Month in the US, if not in the land of the Sandwich‘s birth. And indeed, the sandwich is an invention to be celebrated: you’ll note there is no such thing as “National Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Month” or “National Misogyny Month”.

With or without mayonnaise, seafood- or meat-based, buttered or margarined or dry, the sandwich is truly one of the highest achievements of the culinary arts and should be rightly honoured in its course.

As with anything that lays as close to the human heart as the sandwich, we all have our own preferences and prejudices. We all have our unique tastes. And I invite you to contribute yours, twofold, in the comments section.

I’ll go first:

1) Clooney, raincoaster, Rickman.

2) Croissant, avocado, shrimp, mayo, sprouts.

Yeah, bit of a comedown, so to speak. But a girl has to keep her strength up somehow!

  1. Helen Mirren, FFE (I like open-faced sandwiches too)

    Italian sausage(mild), anchovy filets, provalone, romaine lettuce, sliced Roma tomatoes, hint of oil and vinegar or pesto, all on lightly toasted white long roll

  2. Hmm…

    1. Tcheky Karyo, Me, Brendan Fraser (although, nursemyra, the Ian McShane sandwich could a be a good one!)

    2. nice fresh multi-grain bread, chicken salad (or egg or ….you know, the filling can change, I ain’t fussy!), lots of veggies, mayo salt & pepper

  3. That is funny Raincoaster and a great subject now let me see…..
    Beyonce Me Raincoaster ,,…….just kidding erase Raincoaster and insert the young Jane Russell yum yum now thats a tasty meatball..although for all I know Raincoaster is cute and tasty as cherry pie with cream
    For much needed calories after a golden languous afternoon of soul corrupting absinthe soaked sin I `m going for a big fat sausage of indeterminate meat stuck between to luverly doughy white slabs of bread with Mustard and onions and tom ketchup dribbling down the side interminged with cheek smearing grease. Get in there my son!!

    Then one final almighty rogering for the girls and I `m akip like a jolly little baby but not before I have said to Beyonce ” Oi Boncey , put your knickers on and make the tea ”

    They love it !! They love it

  4. I honestly only know who about half of these people are.

    raincoaster is indeed both cute and tasty, but you’ll have to take my word for it, especially if that’s your best come-on.

  5. 1) Tia Carrere, Metro, Nicole Kidman.
    (Ingredients should be fresh, and disinfected if any recent contact with Scientology is suspected.)

    2) Brie and basil on a baguette. Though a barley sandwich is my preferred comestible.

    Raincoaster is indeed cute as a basket of Shar-pei puppies, which she rather resembles. Tasty? Well I have yet to bite her, but it’s early yet.

  6. All this sandwich talk brings to mind the doggerel I saw inscribed on the science building men’s restroom wall while I was an undergrad (yes, I took more than two semesters of science . . .)

    “She offered him honor.
    He honored her offer
    And all night long
    It was on her and off her.”
