Sandwich Time

Okay.. here we are with another Tuesday 4. 

Sandwich Time

Welcome once again to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.

Sandwiches are a lunch time favorite.  

1. In the 1930s two favorite sandwiches were ham, pickles and mustard and tuna with rice, capers, pepper and paprika.  I think it probably needed mayo!

Sandwiches can be a  simple peanut butter and jelly or a classy Monte Cristo.

1. What is your favorite sandwich and how do you make it?

 A BLT.. I use kosher artifical vegan bacon, Jersey tomatoes, Hellman's Mayonnaise and pepper on toast.  I could easily eat a dozen of them and if I could still have sugar, I would make me an iced tea with sugar and lemon.  For now I drink plain iced tea with lots of ice.

2.  What is the best bread for making toast?  How about for making sandwiches?

My mother swore by Pepperidge Farm but here is the story to that... She bought a loaf and in one slice was a wad of chewing tobacco!!   She called Pepperidge Farm and the company head called her back.  He was so deeply upset that my mother felt bad for him.  We were given a year supply of all Pepperidge Farm products and my mother was very impressed by their reaction to it.  She only called to alert them but they took it very very seriously.

So, I grew up on that bread.    Personally though, I do like sourdough bread and challah for toasting and for sandwiches I like Italian bread or toasted Wonder Bread.

3.  If you go out to eat for lunch are you more likely to stay with a safe choice or be more adventurous?

It depends where I go for lunch.  It could be a hamburger, falafal, tacos, sandwich, pizza.  I am not too adventurous with food.

4. Dagwood, hoagie, submarine, Po boy, grinder. Whatever they are called where you are, do you like them and if so what do you want on it?

Where I am in South Jersey we call them "Subs" and there are dozens of places to choose from in buying them.  

Making them at home I will use an Italian short loaf, homemade meatballs in Italian sauce.  That's a favorite for me.

Italian hot dog from Jimmy Buff's.

  Or.. I will deep fry a hot dog, fry up some potatoes and some fried sweet red peppers , green peppers and onions and make an Italian hot dog. I like them with Polish mustard and ketchup mixed.

I also love Philly Cheesesteaks..

   Ok. I am making myself crazy hungry here.
