Cookbook Giveaway!
I’ll be taking a break from this blog on Friday and Monday, but I’ll return on Tuesday.
While I’m away, I’m going to run a cookbook giveaway. The grand prize will be “The Encyclopedia of Sandwiches; Recipes, History, and Trivia for Everything between Sliced Bread” by Susan Russo. This book includes recipes for basics such as egg salad and fluffernutters, but it also tells you how to make some more complicated sammies such as oyster loafs, muffaletta, an eggplant Parmesan sub and a crab melt.
If you love anything between two slices of bread (even chopped liver!) this is the book for you.
To enter to win, leave a comment on this blog entry and tell me your FAVORITE kind of sandwich (mine’s a grilled cheese – yummmmm). Entries will be accepted until midnight on Monday, and a random winner will be approved on Tuesday. If your comment is not approved right away, never fear – I’ll probably be busy cooking or eating something. But I’ll get around to approvals as often as possible.
Good luck to everyone!

Pimento cheese sandwich
My favorite sandwich would have to be a good italian sub with cappicollo, salami, ham and provolone or gruyere cheese.
One of my favorite sandwhich is a hot turkey with swiss, coleslaw and thousand island dressing.Love it!
favorite sandwich – how to choose just one! But my absolute favorite, if I could not have any other sandwhich – turkey and provolone sub with tomato, may, pickles, black olives and mayo. with dashes of italian seasoning on a crusty italian bread. not heated, just cold, and best if it sits for about 15 minutes before you eat it to let the flavors meld…Ok so now I want one.
I love a grilled cheese with piping hot tomato soup. That way I can dip the sandwich into the soup!
Oooh…what a delish looking book! Very much a “Dagwood” sandwich there on the front. I must say that one of my favorite sandwiches has to be one that my mom used to make for me when I was little. Sorta a grilled cheese kind of thing. It was mozzarella in between two pieces of good Italian bread, fried in olive oil. Yuuum. The mozz would get all melty and stretchy and I’ve always loved the fruity taste of good olive oil and the crunch of good Italian bread. Not exactly health food, but hey…
My absolute favorite sandwich is On the Rise’s Turkey & Provolone! Thanks for the giveaway!
Lindsey, my favorute sandwich is sliced roast turkey on whole wheat with swiss, mayo, cranberry sauce and lettuce the day after Thanksgiving. Best sandwich of the year!!!!
Sometimes a hot cheese tuna melt is just what the doctor ordered…ummmmm!
My favorite “healthy sandwich” is turkey, laughing cow cheese, and some salt and pepper on a cucumber. My favorite unhealthy sandwich is a tuna melt…or anything with melted cheese for that matter.
I usually go for a pretty simple turkey-and-swiss, maybe with a little lettuce. If I’m feeling fancy, I might go for a club without mayo. My girlfriend, though, who is tiny, loves making giant dagwoods of every variety with ingredients I can’t even identify! But she does have a t-shirt that says “I (heart) Grilled Cheese,” so I think I know what her favorite is.
I love a hot sub along the lines of the BD special. Yum! Not healthy though.
A sandwich is the meal you cannot get wrong! My fav eating out is the Cheese Sub at the New Yorker, second is the Veggie Delight on flatbread with avocado at SubWay.
At home, I love a boiled egg with a slice of cheese, ground pepper and Hellmans’s mayo slathered on both pieces of toasted bread! I read it in one of Sue Grafton’s ABC series books. That and pickles and peanut butter (which is also delish) are the favs (after a McD quarter pounder) of her inestimable detective, Kinsey Millhone.
Hot turkey and bacon with sundried tomatoes
My favorite sandwich is a Kentucky Hot Brown, first made in the 1920s at the Brown Hotel in downtown Louisville, KY.
It consists of sliced oven-roasted turkey breast on a buttered, toasted sub roll or baguette, topped with bechamel sauce and bacon slices and briefly run under the broiler. It has sliced tomatoes on the side. Simple, but yummy!
god, I love sandwiches. My two favorites right now are my wifes crab stuffed roll with bread from Our daily bread in Blacksburg, with a close second my meatball sub cooked over an open fire in a dutch oven. You can find the recipes on my web site. Devine. I’d love this cookbook!
Big old juicy summer tomato sandwich on puffy white bread, mayo, salt and eaten over the sink.
grilled cheese
my fav sandwich is a home made egg mcmuffin with salami,swiss cheese and fried egg with yoke still runny….can it still be called a mcmuffin with the changes?
Hmm…this is a tough one. Do I choose an Italian sub with hot pepper relish or a Reuben with spicy mustard instead of Thousand Island. Maybe a grilled cheese with tomato and mayo or a BLT with mayo on toasted white bread or even “just a B – no LT on just bread,” as my grandson says. Okay, if I can pick only one, I guess it would be the oyster ‘po boys that I make for my family on Christmas Eve. NOW I’m thinking about turkey and cranberry sandwiches, roast beef and Swiss, French Dip, etc. Man, I love sandwiches!
A real, legit chicken and peppers panini.
We ended up in Philly one time while my father was on a business trip. We left the hotel and my mother wanted to walk to some restaurant that she found online. We started walking and got to a place where we had to cross the street.. I suggested walking another way because I could smell some yummy food. After walking a bit we came upon a little Italian cafe. We ordered panini’s and they were AMAZING! I will say the place was a bit creepy though. A bunch of hefty Italian men walked in wearing fedoras and smoking cigars. They were seated in a little meeting room…. It looking like a scene from The Sopranos
I have to say, a Jersey-style Italian sub. Salerno’s in Lexington, or Jersey Mike’s in Lynchburg, make the best I’ve had outside of New Jersey.
If I could only have one, it would be grilled cheese. I do have PB&J almost every day for lunch. Thinking about having the unconventional chicken salad sandwiches for dinner tonight. SANDWICHES!!!!!!!!!!!
A tomato sandwich with mayo, salt, and fresh soft bread is the best!
I love me a thick cut bologna sandwich, two slices fried to the point of almost burnt, between one slice of swiss and one slice of colby jack, topped with mayo and two slices of salted tomato; makes me think I have died and gone to heaven!
Pretty much any kind of sub with heated meat and melted cheese – it doesn’t matter if it’s ham, turkey, roast beef, corned beef…
It depends…if it’s tomato season, then a grilled cheese with tomato and mayo, but only if it’s a homegrown tomato. Otherwise, my go to sandwich is a turkey, granny smith apple, and brie cheese panini!
Homegrown tomato just picked from the garden, sliced on fresh white bread with mayo, salt & pepper!!!
Grilled chicken, Havarti, Mustard on Grilled rye…. YUMMMMM
My favorite is a tomato sandwich in the summertime, grilled cheese sandwich all the time.
Grilled cheese.
Grilled Gruyere and extra sharp cheddar with sliced tomatoes on pumpernickel.
My favorite sandwich is a BLT’S with crispy bacon and home-grown tomatoes. Yum!
My favorite sandwich is a Ruben. especially those made at a local deli! But I also love a homegrown tomato, mayo, on white bread.
I love it when my Mom makes a sandwich spread of green olives stuffed with pimetos mixed with cream cheese and a little mayo. She says she remembers her Mom making them for the Ladies who came to play Bridge.
While I love a simple turkey and mustard sandwich, my favorite sandwich is a crunchy peanut butter with a few nacho Doritos smashed on top. I know it sounds extremely gross, but I promise you, once you try it, you’ll be hooked. You have to wash it down with a glass of milk. I don’t have it to often as pb and Doritos aren’t the best choices, but I swear it’s delicious!!
I would have to say a ham and cheese grilled over the fireplace. (insert drooling face here)
~
Add some onions, tomato or horseradish sauce?
Mmmmm Mmm good!
My favorite sandwich is one made with smoked turkey, lettuce, and a slice of gala apple, with a spread make of brown mustard, toasted pecans, dried cranberries and cream cheese. It would be on a whole grain bread.
My favorite sandwich is sliced olives and chopped pecans mixed in some cream cheese( warm slightly in the microwave) spread on rye bread.So good!!
I would say Chicken Cordon Bleu. It usually is a meat protein on the plate but I like it as a sandwich the way Arby’s makes/made it.
My favorite sandwich has to be peanut butter and jelly on pumpernickel bread, made with high-quality ingredients. Mini versions of these sandwiches were served as part of the hors d’oeuvres at our wedding, and we’re a huge hit.
That’s easy! Grilled eggplant, roasted red pepper, seasonal greens, goat cheese, with pesto-mayo, a little olive oil and S&P on fresh crusty bread. Total veggie bliss. This is a HUGE leap from the absolute favorite of my childhood: White bread and yellow mustard. Yup, I ate that.
grilled peanut butter & jelly sandwiches!!!!!
My favorite has got to be a hamburger with chili, mustard, onions and slaw. Some folks call it a Carolina burger I call it my hamburger/hot dog mix up.
I clicked on “comments” w/ the intention of listing an Italian sub as my favorite sandwich. Then, as I read some of the comments above I thought, “oh, that one too!” Gonna stick w/ the Italian, though, ham, Genoa salami, maybe another cold cut or two w/ white cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, jalapenos, and an oily Italian dressing…served COLD!! Yummy! A close second would be an authentic muffaletta…
A hot fresh Cuban right off the grill… Yum
I only have it one week out of the year, but leftover country ham from Christmas dinner with Miracle Whip. A flavor from my childhood and the sweeter flavor of Miracle Whip goes great with the salty country ham.
My favorite is hot ham and cheese.
My favorite all-time sandwich is chicken salad on a croissant…toasted is even better….
My favorite sandwhich is a turkey sub with crispy bacon, melted cheese, mayo, honey mustard, shredded lettuce, and tomato. Yumm…preferably from the Brambleton Deli.
I love grilled cheese with a twist. I still use one of the sandwich pocket makers. I put mayo on the break before cooking and it blends in with the cheese.
Love me a good chicken salad sandwich on toasted grainy bread! Arts Etc in Martinsville had a great chicken salad made with yogurt, pecans and grapes. yum!
tuna fish with hot pepper spread, on toasted whole wheat
Sometimes it’s a homemade pimento cheese salad sandwich or maybe just a good ole pb & j!
Tomato sandwich fresh from the garden. Look forward to it every year
While reading through all the comments, my mouth actually started to water thinking about all the delicious sandwiches out there and I still have another 1/2 hour before even considering lunch, but I would have to say a good philly cheese steak is my #1 choice, with a grilled cheese placing 2nd.
Fresh veggies and cheese with a vinaigrette dressing!!
It would have to have cheese so it would have to be fried bologna and cheese. Not healthy but I love it!
Out- New Yorker Sub
Home- Corned beef on rye
Although a good BLT can’t be beat.
dont get any better than a grill ham and cheese with tomato
I enjoy a peanut butter, banana and apple sandwich. Yummy. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite Summer sandwich is a slice of home grown tomato,american cheese,beef bologna,lettuce on white bread.
Grilled bologna, fried egg, some mayo and a thick slice of homegrown tomato with plenty of salt. On toasted white bread. Eggs must be a little runny in the middle!
Right now, my favorite is thinly spread whipped cream cheese with cucumber slices on wheat bread. My daughter and I are packing them in our lunches every day!
My favorite is a Reuben…with corned beef, NOT pastrami!
I always love a great bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich! Breakfast sandwiches are definitely the best, no matter the time of day. My boyfriend and I are in constant search of Roanoke spots with great breakfast sandwiches, with our newest find being the bagel sandwiches from Full Moon Bakery on Brambleton. So good!
Thinly sliced rare roast beef with melted swiss on good Italian bread with horseradish sauce and finely shredded oil and vinegar based cole slaw.
I love the classic club sandwich
