Sandwich ideas

For me there is nothing like a tomato sandwich on a hot summer's day. Slice ripe tomatoes and place on bread with mayo. Hubby enjoys fresh sliced strawberries on buttered bread. He sprinkles sugar on top for added sweetness. Another he has quite often is sliced radishes on buttered bread. Not sure that I would like this myself, but he enjoys it.

I like ham sandwiches. Or porc roast with mayo sandwiches. Or roast beef with mayo. And another one that I leally love. Dark bread, sliced eggs, sliced tomatoes, sliced onions, pepper and salt on butter. Or white bread with butter, sliced camembert and sliced onions. Or toasted bread and that famous BLT on top.

Hi peavey, This one sounds sort of weird, but - once in a while I like peanut butter with ham! (Usually the lunchment type in this case :). If you have leftover bit of meat you could make what we call a "bisht" - grandpa's word for the sound the food processor produces making it! You know the ground ham salad you can get it a deli? Same idea. Put your leftover chicken, beef, ham, etc. in the food processor, add a little mayo - and from there, whatever you want! We sometimes use a little pickle relish or onion - often chop up pickples or dice the onions and add separate for more texture. Another thought is to change your bread. I find this makes me feel like I'm really eating something different. Different flavors, but also different types - for example, wrap your chicken up in a tortilla, and put the tuna salad in a pita. Or make sanwiches on Enlish muffins - or even regular muffins. For example, a meat-and-cheese type sandwich can be really good on, say, a herb muffin. Another that I like as a treat is a crasty bun or loaf or baguette brushed with olive oil or better, an dfilled with slices (thin) of Gruyere, some herbs (fresh if possible), salad greens, and salt and pepper. Cream cheese with seafood sauce and those little tinned shrimp on an English muffin is nice for something different. Different fruit and nut combos are fun too - if you can get, say, cashew or almond butter - especially at a bulk store so you're not stuck with a big jar - that with sliced fruit is good for a change. Examples: almond butter with sliced peaches, PB with thin sliced apples and raisins, or with apples and cheese! SPeaking of, apple slices and cheddar make an interesting & different sandwich if you like the fruit-cheese combo. Portobello mushrooms sandwiches...I Like w/ mozzarella cheese and roasted red pepper when I can get it. Different condiments can also jazz things up, or just making a recipe a little differently - e.g., try adding dried fruit to a chicken salad if that appeals. Or Mix up flavored cream cheese or mayo spreads...cranberry sauce on a turkey sandwich...hummus on anything, esp. veggies... Oh - a couple more :) - grilled PB&J. You said above you're not a PBJ fan, but this could work well for other PB combos - not sure about the mayo, though. I hadn't heard of this till moving to the mid-Atlantic, but tried it and - if I'm in the mood - it's very good! Also grilled cheese and variations - add tomato, bacon, use cheddar intead of American, "bakery" type bread instead of process bread, etc. And Omlette type snadwiches! Hope I haven't blathered on too long...and I hope this helps! ~Sara

Peanut butter and jelly, egg salad, ham and cheese, also tunafish are my favorites.

I love tuna melts and turkey sandwiches. You could also try chicken salad, egg salad, cucumber, vegetarian and turkey burger sandwiches.

Have you tried roll ups. you can use any thing in them. You get some tortilas . I like to have turkey, cream cheese and cranberry sauce. Then you roll them up, slice them and eat. Yummy. They are also good with meat, dill dip, lettuce, and tomato. They can be hot or cold. Anything you like on bread is good in a roll up only more fun. :)

1 lb. thinly sliced roast beef 1 can beef broth 1 whole onion, thinly sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 small can sliced mushrooms 3 tablespoons Wondra flour 2 tablespoons ketchup 1/2 tsp. onion powder 1/4 tsp. garlic powder 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper In a medium saucepan, bring beef broth to a boil. Add onion and garlic powder, ketchup, minced garlic and sliced onion. When broth comes to a rolling boil, drop in the separated sliced roast beef and remove immediately from heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove roast beef from broth after 2-3 minutes. Return broth to stove on high setting and sprinkle Wondra flour over surface, stirring briskly to avoid lumps. Simmer over medium heat 5 minutes. At the last minute, drain the sliced mushrooms and add. Pour over roast beef on white bread. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.

How about hummus, garlic, sliced tomato and mozzarella cheese? Or you can do grilled cheese with slice of portabello mushrooms or tomato. I like spinach, cucumber, chicken salad, and grapes rolled into a tortilla flatbread. I don't do much meat in sandwiches anymore cause the BHT preservatives and loads of sodium kill my metabolism . . . sharing the light, Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment Advisor, M.A. Transpersonal Psychology Studies Counseling/ Author, Artist, Photographer & Freelancer http://www.enlightenment-psych.net

Chopped up roast beef, either canned or fresh, Spam both are very delicious made like a tuna salad, I've always used sandwich spread, because it has the pickles already in it.

I like to eat chicken sandwiches, with a few tablets cucumber and tomato, and salad, but I have heard people make the kind of salad, eat a little.

onion sandwiches, wild leek sandwiches (spring), lettuce, tomato and anything sandwiches (onion, bacon, whatever) egg salad sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches, ham salad sandwiches, tacos
