I love tuna salad and gyros, and the grilled cheese I mentioned on the other thread. Also summer sausage and mustard on buttered bread, sometimes with lettuce, sweet onion and/or pickles.

(All salty. of course, so I have to watch how often I make them.)

Ten favorites? Good luck with that. I make sandwiches from whatever is available. If I repeat it's usually because we tend to keep the same ingredients around.
 
For instance, my most recent sandwich was Buffalo chicken slices on toasted oatmeal bread, topped with a slice of Swiss cheese and tomato, with a smear of blue cheese dressing.
 
Among standards, I do enjoy:
 
1 Kentucky Hot Browns.
2. Monte Christo.
3. BLT on rye toast.
4. Grilled cheese (usually made with several cheeses, onion, tomato, and bacon or ham).
5. Cubano.
6. Mufalotta (sp?). But only when I'm in NOLA.

Low sodium canned tuna, finely chopped celery, pickles, and sweet onion, with garlic aoli if I have it or mayo if I don't.

Hoser, Good Afternoon,
 
As always, thanks so much for your contribution. I can see we are leftover Meatloaf aficionados, fans ...
 
I would truly enjoy having a Philly Cheese Steak recipe on board our Forum ... Could you be so kind as to provide yours when you can.
 
We always have our little Office get together on 31st, and bring or prepare a dish at the Magazine Kitchen, and thus, this shall be perfect ...
 
Is your meatloaf recipe aboard in Italian Section by chance ?
 
Thanks again in advance,
Margi. Approve
 
Thanks so much.

Brook,
 
MUFALATTA is a Sicilian - American 1906 creation which can consists of a variety of Italian Deli Meat varieties, for example:
 
Mortadella
Capicola
Salami
 
The spelling varies from place to place, and can be MUFALATTA or MUFALATA or MUFALETTA ...
 
Sounds great Brook, and it is most common to spell it MUFALATTA ...
 
Thanks for all your contributions and feedback.
 
All my kindest,.
Margi.

Buonasera Melissa, Good Afternoon,
 
Thanks for your feedback, contribution and for posting your tuna salad recipe.
 
I have a question for you; have you ever tried to use a tablespoon of Extra virgin olive oil in place of the mayonnaise or ali oli, to provide the texture and consistency of holding the tuna salad ingredients together ?
 
This is a wonderful means of avoiding the mayo jar.
 
I use an electric mixer for 3 to 5 seconds to create a coarse paté or mousse type texture ...
 
Here is mine:
 
garlic - 2 cloves
1 tblsp. Evoo  
2 tblsps. parsley or dill
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Tuna of choice ( I employ Spanish Ventresca in Evoo, and drain it; Ventresca, which is the white tuna belly ) similar to Albacore in the USA
1 celery stalk small
2 tlbsps. scallion or onion or shallot ( choice noted )
 
*** Mince / dice veggies and combine to paté with electric mixer ...
 
I also prepare my chicken salad and shrimp salad more or less in same fashion, possibly with a change of fresh herbs or spices ...
 
Look forward to your views.
 
Kind regards. Margi.

Bacon, cheese and marmite on toasted wholemeal bread, not to everyone's taste but I love it.
Big smile

Gareth,
 
Thanks for your contribution. Is it a spread for bread ? A syrup ? A buttery consistency ?
 
What is the taste profile of Yeast Extract and texture like ?
 
Thanks in advance. 
Margi.

Hi Margi,

It is a spread for bread, very similar in texture to margarine.  Generally spread thinly over a "teeth-mark thick" covering of butter.

It is very difficult to describe the taste, but bear in mind the advertising slogan "You either love it or hate it it" Wink here are two of the adverts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMg5mJUr8dU

Hope you enjoy them
Gareth

"You either love it or hate it it
 
And, unless you grew up with it, you probably won't love it. Oh, wait. That's wrong. Forget the "probably" part.
 
In all due respect to Gareth, Margi, it's a rather simple flavor profile to describe. Just imagine eating mouldy shoe leather and you'll be pretty close.

Brook and Gareth,
 
Thanks so much for your feedback and interesting tasting & texture profile ...
 
I am such a curious woman ... Cool 
 
At some time in the near future, I shall have to do an Espresso Spoon Tasting !
 
Thanks again for all your input.

   While I like sandwiches, I don't require much complexity.

  I do enjoy a nicely made Muffuletta

  But most of my sandwiches are very simple.  A good salami on plain bread (simple or crusty).  Ham on plain bread again.  I love bacon, but I prefer to eat my bacon on un-toasted bread with lettuce and fresh picked tomatoes on the side.

   I also love all kinds of cured meats such as various Jamon'/ Prosciutto, salami's, capicola, etc etc.  But I prefer to eat them plain...with crusty bread on the side and accompaniments separate.

Dan
Enjoy The Food!
