Cuban Sandwich Ybor City Style

http://books.google.com/books?id=wf...&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result

very simple, but so good.

I prefer the traditional Cuban sammich. Terrific. Ironic name, because every Cuban sammich I've had in Ybor City was traditional including the Columbia, I never had one like that listed. Not that itr sounds bad.

I also remember having a sandwich at Timberland Lodge on MT Hood that I enjoyed. It was turkey breast, with a bit of cream cheese, cranberry sauce and alfalfa sprouts. I like Reubens, but traditional sandwiches, not the open faced mountains like you get at a number of NJ deli's.

Boardwalk - speciality of a small local pizza joint - Ham, salami, pepperoni, mozzarella, mushrooms, dressing on a hoagie bun

the Rodeo - downtown sandwich shop - Roast beef, provolone, french fries, onion, and ranch dressing on a roll

and finally, a local grocer makes one with roast beef, bacon, cheddar, tomato, lettuce and horseradish sauce.

but most of all I love hot dogs with the works

All of them DELISH

All sandwiches I eat are rather odd, as I dislike cold cheese, all veggies and condiments like Mayonnaise...so My sandwiches consist of meat, and melted cheese mainly...or a nice egg sandwich. I put ketchup on just about everything lol.

Has anyone ever had a Ketchup sandwich? Just bread (i usually toast it) and ketchup...it's pretty good

[huh]

Caity Lynn - never did the ketchup thing. .but when I was 4 years old I ate mayo on bread for lunch every single day for 6 months straight. Drove my folks craaaaaaaaaaaazy

Caity Lynn · Jan 20, 2009

lol, my parents got used to my picky taste buds early on...I wouldn't eat sandwiches at all until like 5th grade, every single day for lunch until then I'd have 2 pieces of baloney. I didn't like to mix foods, that included bread and meat

lol I had odd tastes.

back to my first love.

Every once in a while during my lunch break from work I bebop over to Safeway deli to get a "Ranch Hand" or "Great Caeser's Ghost" (not the actual name

, it does have Caeser in the name though). Recently however I was uninspired by their specialty sandwiches and ordered my original standby.
It is roast turkey on light rye with mustard (yellow please), mayo, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. I bit into it was in love again with that simple sandwhich. I'm reacting like Pavlov's dogs just thinking about it. :essen:

Sincerely,
The Wolf

I'd rather eat almost anything than that.

Last night I made hamburgers for myself and my wife. Ground beef formed into patties, fried in a pan. I toasted some good bread for the buns, and put a tiny bit of mayo, a goodly amount of mustard, a ketchup that I had made myself out of tomato paste, allspice and various spices a week ago when we were out, red leaf lettuce, sweet "bread and butter" pickles, freshly chopped red onions, and copious slices of Roma tomato. They were sharp (from all the onion and mustard) and delicious.

I'm fond of the toasted bread instead of the bun. They do that at Hamburger Mary's, a trannie restaurant in San Francisco. Quite good.

Diamondback · Jan 20, 2009

Sorry, Doran--the only good bread for that is San Francisco sourdough, preferably slathered in butter on the meatward side.

Aaaagggh! You evil people are making me hungry and the all-you-can-eat spaghetti special here just ran out!

I like that too -- I sold SF sourdough for 10 years while I worked in the grocery business ...

Whilst I love fried egg sandwiches on home-made bread, my favorite would be DeGouy's version of a Bookmaker's Sandwich, a thick, boned Porterhouse steak charred on the outside but otherwise quite rare placed in the center of a split loaf of home made salt-rising bread, spread with Bernaise sauce and then placed overnight in a book press.

Grilled onions or a saute of thinly sloced muchrooms may be addes, but i think that this is gilding the lilly.

roast beef sandwiches

bbq tri tip sandwiches

hamburgers

Dewhurst · Jan 20, 2009

Cold lettuce, Mayo, and slices of sharp cheddar block on wheat bread. A wicked sandwich.

Also, for some odd reason I really like premium deli bologna in some of my sandwiches! Go figure.[huh]

BinkieBaumont · Jan 20, 2009

I'm rather into a triple decker toasted chicken, cheese, and white Asparagus, phase , with a slight drizzle of creamy horseradish sauce, , maybe its in honour of the chinese New Year?

I am not very good at describing food because I tend to start daydreaming about dinner and then I fade out. But I have a thing for southern-style sandwiches. I live in Mississippi so I can either dish out on a homemade, country style sandwich or a good old fashioned cajun dish. I adore the muffuletta and po'boy. While searching for ways to describe these sandwiches, I discovered one called the hot brown. I have never tried this one, but it will now be on the list.
Enjoy!

The South is famous for many great sandwich traditions. The muffuletta and the poor boy (or po' boy) both originated in New Orleans, Louisiana. The muffuletta is an Italian-style sandwich, created in 1906 by Salvatore Lupo at the Central Grocery, where they are still sold today. It's made with an Italian muffuletta bun or French loaf, layered with ham, salami, provolone or Swiss cheese, and topped with a special condiment made from olives, oil, vinegar, garlic, and pickled Italian vegetables.

The poor boy was created in the 1920s by Benny and Clovis Martin, owners of Martin Brothers Grocery. Similar to the hero, sub, or grinder, the poor boy is a sandwich usually on a split French loaf of bread, and filled with a variety of ingredients like ham, roast beef, cheese, oysters, tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles, with a dressing of gravy or sauce. They were first served to striking streetcar workers until the strike ended. Some say they were free and other sources claim they were sold for 15 cents each. Mother's Restaurant, in downtown New Orleans, has been serving poor boys since the 1930s, and according to food historian John Egerton, is one of its oldest and finest producers.

The hot brown is another well-known Southern sandwich. The hot brown was created in the 1930s by chef Fred K. Schmidt at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. Its popularity spread throughout Kentucky and beyond, and recipes for it are often found in cookbooks. Thinly sliced chicken or turkey with country ham or bacon on toast, topped with sliced tomato and a cheese sauce, the sandwich is first baked, then broiled briefly until golden brown.

I'd kill for a pulled pork on a kaiser roll with a nice spicy-sweet sauce.

Miss_Bella_Hell · Jan 20, 2009

My favorite is simple:

Good bread, most likely toasted. I like Ezekiel 4:9 flourless, which I get a Trader Joe's:

To that, layer:
Avocado
Swiss Cheese
Heirloom Tomato
Dijon Mustard

And you're ready to go! Sprouts would probably also be a yummy addition, and sometimes I'll add vegetarian cold cuts.

I do that too. Sourdough or French bread. I need to make sure that I cut it thick enough, but I find it has more character than the standard bun. I also love to make my burgers different every time. Sometimes I saute onions and bell peppers to go on top. Sometimes I use cheese (good cheddar, munester (sp?) or blue). In the summer I love to make a pesto mayo for the burgers and serve them with fresh heirloom tomatoes.

As for the ketchup sandwich, I have never done it personally, but one of my best gal pals in high school had a little brother who lived off of them for about a year. Made his step-mom nuts.

Peanut Butter and Banana with a drizzle of good honey on a thick hearty wheat.

Or a grilled cheese with sharp cheddar, tomatoes, avocado and sometimes bacon.

HUNGRY!

Dr Doran · Jan 21, 2009

What wonderful sandwiches. I have never tried many of them. Ever since becoming addicted to DEXTER I've wanted the pulled pork Cuban thing. I'm delighterd to see the love of heirloom tomatoes here. I sold lots of them in the 1990s at the store where I worked. Locally grown, amazingly delicious. It's a fine thing to see them loved here.

Heather · Jan 21, 2009

Roast beef au jus!! I eat as many as I can when my husband and I take our annual weekend away to a hotel on York Beach. I'm also a fan of pastrami sandwiches, sliced thin. This thread is reminding me I haven't had breakfast yet!
