Favourite sandwiches

Bitey cheese on pumpernickel or dark rye.

Panino Melanzane Grigliate!
(Grilled Eggplant Sandwich)
- A nice firm slice of grilled eggplant; thickly sliced fresh "Bufala" mozzarella; thinly sliced "Roma" tomatoes; freshly chilled leaves of garden basil, a quick drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and coarsely ground black pepper all layered between two thin slices of freshly baked Italian bread .

(Feel free to bring a fork to table...you'll want every crumb.)

Egg sandwiches are a perfect hangover cure, of sorts. I find the inclusion of bacon can cause complications with bite extraction especially if the egg is slightly runny.

you must crisp the bacon and let it cool.

i first learned of the reuben at a deli in st louis, after i had taken a job there...
ever since, i have been disappointed in the offerings from other sandwich shoppes and delis, they just haven't been that great...
and don't get me started on that imposter from schlotsky's...

i haven't even been able to recreate it myself...
i think it may have to do with the dressing, but, not sure...
i am also handicapped by a palette semi-destroyed by southern cooking...

Some delis have what it takes, some don't. Best dressing IMO is Durkee Sauce.

BLT...bacon lettuce tomato. Toasted with a little butter and salt. Now I want one.

"Bitey cheese"? I'm guessing this is slang from 'down under' or maybe it's British. I'm right with you on the pumpernickel though.

I could maybe take a guess what this is, but I can be patient and learn something new. 🙂

The best delis are either Italian or Jewish. Plenty of both in Philadelphia, where I was born.

I think it's Aussie slang but I don't know where it came from. It's a very sharp cheddar-style hard cheese.
