What's Your Favorite Sandwich...???

Found me a good Cuban sandwich. First one I've had in years. Had to go 1200 miles from home. But man it was good

What's the difference between "country" ham and regular ham other than (from what I read online) country ham is really salty? Had never heard of it before.

"Country ham" is a ham that has been cured with combination of salt, pepper and sugar. Best fried in a cast iron skillet. If cooking enough, there will be plenty of residue from which to make red eye gravy - an artery clogging liquid like no other. But quite tasty on grits, biscuits, etc.

BLT made with a good thick smoked bacon, some avocado and mayo. Any time I cook a brisket, I save some for a Philly sandwich with lots of onions, bell pepper, horseradish and sour cream. But a rueben is right up there.

When I do a ham sandwich, I like it thin sliced, but piled high. One slice isn't gonna cut it!
.

Country ham makes bacon seem to be salt-free,,,

Eating a sandwich with country ham "piled high" would be kinda like having a sandwich with piled high bacon,,
only the country ham would have a STRONGER flavor,,

The ham you like piled high is "smoked",, which is very mild flavor,, I like it piled high also,, when it is smoked ham,,

Hmmmmmmm,, if country ham were on a sandwich similar to a piled high smoked ham sandwich,,,
I doubt that you could even take a bite of the sandwich,, let alone chew it,,

I love BLT 's but I can only eat them when fresh tomatoes out of the garden are in season . Jersey tomatoes are so much better than the crap they sell in the supermarket it makes a BLT a seasonal Thing like silver queen corn on the cob. First on of the season last night for dinner .:licking::drink:

As I said, I'd never heard of it before, must be a regional thing.

Hey /pine you being from Fla wondered if you ever had or heard of a properly made "elena ruz" sandwich ? I have had some great one's .
You talk about about something to die for . A properly constructed elena ruz with the finest ingredients is outrageous imo .
Goes great with a strong cup of coffee in early morning . Just my :2cents:

I have seen them on menus and even a version on the food trucks down in Miami but never tried one...

Will have to try the elena ruz, looks good but we do turkey breast on a foccacia with cranberry sauce, avocado and swiss cheese then put in a sandwich press.

I'm assuming that in Australia "beet root" is different than here in the U.S.? I can't quite picture sliced beets on a sandwich.

Sorry, missed this, it is very popular here with burgers, sandwiches etc, I like to slice beetroot and leave it in balsamic vinegar for a soft finish, my mother used to boil them in malt vinegar and they grabbed the back of your throat, we also boil and dice them and mix with mashed potato, diced and mixed with yoghurt is good too.
I am also in the 'don't like eggs' school, good for cooking with but not eating alone.
