The Ultimate Sandwich

The lowly sandwich can be elevated to a wonderful meal, if treated with respect. Here are 5 ultimate sandwiches from around the web.

But first, here’s a video all about sandwiches!

1.  The Ultimate British Sandwich – Now, the Brits might like it, but it sounds dry to me.  “Brodick Blue cheese – a delicious Scottish blue cheese made from ewe’s milk – topped with two slices of Ayrshire dry cured bacon and red onion relish. ” Why, they didn’t even mention the type of bread! no, no, no, this one doesn’t win in my books.

2. Maxim’s High Class Hero – Smoked Prime Rib Sandwich, Pickled Green Tomato, Salsas Bianco and Rosso
by Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone, of Torrisi Italian Specialties on a seeded semolina roll. This one sounds pretty good. It’s got horseradish, beef, roasted red peppers…yep, that would be good, a real man’s sandwich.

3. The Shooter – Another British entry, but this one sounds like the real thing. It has two steaks, mushrooms, horsradish and Dijon mustard, and then it’s wrapped in foil and mushed down with a brick like a good old muffeleta. A solid entry!

4. These last two are going to be Canadian entries. This one from Vancouver BC, the prosciutto, brie, pear and walnut sandwich. Oh, my. This is served on a baguette, and has me getting hungry. A great lady’s sandwich,  it sounds simply divine.

5. This last one is mine, a sandwich I first made in beautiful Nova Scotia. They love a good oatmeal bread there. Slightly sweet, chewy and dense, it holds up well to vegetable fillings. First, two thick slices are lightly plied with mayonnaise. Then thinly sliced cucumbers and green peppers are laid carefully on, lightly salted and peppered, and followed by a thick slice of Swiss Emmenthaler cheese, that cheese with the holes in it. This was the best sandwich I’ve ever had, anywhere, for my taste buds.

What’s your ultimate sandwich?
