Hardly a new idea I'd reckon, I've made the almost exact same thing myself. I just finished a hot pastrami, tomato and gruyère on fresh baguette. It was better.

Is it possible to make roast beef as you would make a beef pot roast? I mean, is the result any good?

I am delighted you showed us that McBaguette Kerouac. It looks pretty good and I aim to try one soon (around lunchtime) when I get to Paris. I usually avoid their burgers because I don't like the soft buns, but now that there is a baguette in the offing, things are looking up!

As I mentioned in reply #70 to Imec's scrumptious looking sandwich,we can't get decent rye bread here. It just isn't readily available. I'm so accustomed to being able to go into any corner grocery in NY and getting a loaf of really good rye. I finally broke down and got a loaf from a nearby neighborhood bakery,but,I had to order it 24 hours in advance. (The baker hails from Poland so I pretty much surmised it would be half way decent,SE Europeans knowing their rye bread). The result is excellent,and,because it was so freshly baked,was as fresh as could be. The loaf is almost gone,and,I just bought it yesterday.... Well worth the wait and semi hassle.

hw, not sure I understand the question? Can I make roast beef by cooking it like I'd cook a pot roast?

If you mean cook it with liquid in a covered pot, you'll just be making pot roast with a better cut of meat.
Roast beef needs to be cooked in the oven, uncovered.

The baker hails from Poland. Well then, 24 hours ain't so bad. They send it BredEx? PuRyelater?

;D Good one Imec!!! It did give me an opportunity to exchange a few of the very limited number of Polish phrases that I know. The loaf is nearly gone,and,I'm not that big of a bread eater,I love it,but am not a habitual 'sandwicher' like my husband is. It is amazing though what a good slice or 2 of good rye bread will do to enhance some decent cold cut meats.

what is the exact definition of a sandwich? is any bread with something on it a sandwich?

Post by Deleted on May 26, 2012 10:58:02 GMT
There are sandwiches -- something edible held in place by bread -- and then there are open faced sandwiches.

open faced sandwiches, i see... well these are so normal to me though, that the question whether i like them or not would never occur. that's just what you eat.

I am not a big sandwich eater, but I was very pleased with the bacon-Munster-Belgian endive sandwich I made over the weekend.

"Hot Turkey Sandwich"
Should be sided by a mound of mashed potatoes, with a "crater" atop to hold a small lake of that gravy.

For lunch, I had a fried chipolata sandwich with watercress, green onion, bean sprouts and mayonnaise. In fact, I had two of them.

I think the leftover duck and roast beef are my favourites, except of course for the banh mi. I'm always happy when I buy a canard laqué; the leftovers are wonderful, and at $14 near me for a whole on, it really isn't terribly expensive. I get at least four or five meals out of the thing (and bones for stock).
Also miss hwinpp. Wanted to tell him that speculoos, speculaas and Spekulatius are essentially the same sweet biscuit/cookie. Those are very nice and not too sweet; great with tea.

I made deep fried sandwiches for the first time in my life today after seeing a very interesting recipe on television. I was not totally satisfied with the result, but I confess that I switched at least half of the ingredients in the recipe to conform to what I had on hand -- grated carrots instead of fresh spinach, miniature shrimp instead of sliced scallops, crème fraîche instead of goat yogurt, curry sauce instead of curry powder, frozen dill instead of fresh dill... you get the picture. Other things like red onions and limes were respected.
The end result was not nearly as appalling as I feared it might turn out. I did the most important thing correctly, which was to make the sandwich moist and to press down on it firmly so that it did not fall apart during the frying process. You have to make the sandwich, cut off the crusts, cut it into a triangle and then roll in it 1) flour 2) beaten egg 3) panko or ordinary bread crumbs -- and then you deep fry it for a couple of minutes until golden brown.
I am determined to make them correctly next time, at which time a photograph will be taken.

I just merged two threads just called "sandwiches" and now it is up to everybody else to determine if we have completely covered the subject or not.
