I've also grown an appreciation for the grilled cheese, though I think the clubhouse is highly over-rated. Obviously never had one of these... from here... At the Wagon Wheel in Winnipeg, the owner shows up every morning at about 5 and roasts several turkeys to meet the demand for this work of art. Real bacon too (none of your silly shaved ham). btw - a real clubhouse ain't got cheese - phony versions have it in attempt to make up for the lack of any other flavour

As delicious as that looks, how does one eat something that big!? I have a small mouth and it would surely fall apart on me while trying to eat.

I was offline all day for technical reasons, but I had a delicious pho for lunch instead of a sandwich.

Lunch... I'm just sayin'. Yellow and Orange tomatoes on buttered, toasted rye.

K2, pho is wonderful, but needs its own thread.
Is the Wagon Wheel an authentic old diner?

Is the Wagon Wheel an authentic old diner? Yep. Don't know how long it's been there, but the cook/owner has worked the grill for 50 years. I've been going there for 35 years. In that whole time there have been no more than half a dozen changes to the menu - and most of those are near impossible to recognize. Same soups every day - Monday-Beef Barley, Tuesday-Chicken Noodle, Wednesday - Vegetable, Thursday-Potato (fantastic!), Friday - Tomato Macaroni.

My mother did not have much appreciation for the supermarket items available in Mississippi when I was young. Things like Sunbeam bread didn't not quite match up to a baguette (even though we kids loved it because it was so soft and sugary) and about the only cheese available was Kraft orange slices. This was tough on a young French woman.
However, she learned to make grilled cheese sandwiches, and I remember that it was one of her favorite lunches.

*grumble* I still say someone should have shown your mother where the general stores were located that sold yummy rat cheese cut directly from the wheel, summer sausage and rather decent baloney sliced while you waited, fatback pork in a wooden box with crystals of salt clinging, etc.

Yes, that is a pity. I don't think the pork would be so alien so someone from Lorraine. She certainly could have made a lovely quiche with that and the rat cheese.
bixa, is rat cheese like a strong crumbly cheddar?

Oh I love bread and I love sandwiches. I make cracking good chopped egg and cress ones. I am pretty handy with the cucumber ones as well. I much prefer wheat and pototoes to noodles and rice. I especially love the big hunky loaves cooked in village Greece...ahh! give me that with olives and freshly sliced tomatoes dripped with olive oil and that's my idea of a feast.

That sandwich looks great, imec, but I also don't think I could fit it in my mouth. I think I enjoyed a clubhouse sandwich once. Strangely enough, it was at a place in Montreal called Les Princess, which is a diner featuring topless waitresses. And I know that cheese shouldn't be in a clubhouse. Except for this version: My hawaiin clubhouse (before I knew to take the flash off). It's got thick slices of ham, instead of turkey, as well as bacon, tomato and lettuce. It also features pineapple slices and mozza cheese. For some reason you can't see the bacon...

Split from: saladsI can make a sandwich out of almost everything I eat, so I would enjoy reading what others think and like as well Kerouac! Cheers, Mich

Okay Bixa, I will start with one of my favourites.
My love for sandwiches comes from my dad. He too, will make a sandwich from anything.
As a child when mom would make us macoroni and cheese I would take out two slices of bread and apply the butter and pile the warm macoroni and cheese on and sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with the second piece of buttered bread. The butter melts in and is so delicious. Cheers! Mich

I will eliminate something from the sandwich realm: the sloppy Joe. This is clearly just a North American take on "beans on toast" and should be eaten with a knife and fork.

I agree Kerouac, nothing that has to be eaten with a fork and knife. A sandwich is held in one, or in my case, two hands as I tend to overstuff them.
You may think this is comparable to a Sloppy Joe, but I promise you I eat it with my hands.
I cannot enjoy having Chili Con Carne without enjoying a few slices of buttered bread. I place in my hand and curve it, then I spoon in the beans and meat, fold it and enjoy. Of course I have to hold it over the bowl as the chili juices sometimes drip out the end. Cheers! Mich

Ham and mustard. Cheese and pickle. Cheese and onion. Cheese and cucumber. Cheese and tomato. Cheese and apple. Cheese and beetroot. Cheese and ham. Cheese and ..........
I threw the first one in for variety.

Have not ever attempted cheese and onion, cheese and beetroot or cheese and apple, but all the rest, absolutely. Cheers! Mich

Wow, I thought you were exaggerating when you said you could make a sandwich out of anything!
Never tried cheese and apple, nor cheese & beet, but cheese and onion are natural together.
One sandwich I really like is either ham or baloney on bread -- nothing else.

One of the best sandwiches in the world as far as I am concerned is the banh mi, where France and Vietnam come together in perfect harmony.

They've started selling 'Cubans' in my current favourite bar. Here's an unfocused picture...

Yes Kerouac the banh mi looks so delicious, I hope to find this when in Paris this fall.
hwinpp I am unaware of what a Cuban sandwich is made with, can you tell me? I like this one as well. Yum.
Another favourite of mine is a spaghetti sandwich. Again a piece of buttered bread held in hand, curved, then stuffed with three twirled fork noodle clumps and added pieces of the meat sausce, fold and enjoy! A pasta sandwich!
Cheers, Mich

I, too, would like to know what's in a banh mi.
HW, the Cuban sandwich as I know it (from Florida, by way of Cuba), is a French bread style, big sandwich sized piece of bread with a raised "seam" down the middle, piled with roast pork, ham, and cheese, then heated with a weight on top of it on a grill. In other words, it looks nothing like what you show. Details, please?
Mich: amazing. I'm flabbergasted. You really do make a sandwich out of all your food, don't you?

Yes Bixa, I do!! ;D
Another favourite, when mom makes a Sunday dinner, whether it be turkey, beef, pork, chicken, she always puts three Kaiser buns in the oven to warm.
My husband just likes a bun with butter with his Sunday dinner, but dad and I have to make a sandwich out of whatever mom roasted. Dad will often add pepper jelly to the beef or pork slices before layering into the bun. Cheers, Mich

Pepper jelly & meat on a toasted Kaiser roll ~~ yum!
I'm eating a breakfast sandwich right now: egg scrambled with pot cheese with minced basil and chile pepper sprinkled on before turning. It's on commercial whole wheat bread spread with mayonnaise.

There are many global and regional variations of the sandwich, but the most common version features thinly sliced pickled carrots and daikon (do chua), cucumbers, cilantro, chili peppers, pâté, mayonnaise and various meat fillings or tofu. Popular bánh mì fillings include roasted or grilled pork, steamed or roasted pork belly, Vietnamese sausage, chicken, head cheese and ham.
Bánh mì shops can be found in many countries, especially in areas with a Vietnamese immigrant community. The contrasting flavors and textures of the sandwich — as well as its relatively low cost — make it a popular dish. They are often marketed abroad as "Vietnamese sandwiches" or "Vietnamese subs". In Australia, they are known as "pork rolls".
"Bánh mì" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary on March 24, 2011.

Ok, regarding the Cuban, it's an Italian ciabatta, layered with home made roast pork, cheese and some leaves. Then it's grilled. He cuts it diagonally accross, that's why it's triangular. This is a better photo off the net.
