Probably an Ausie thing.

You're on fire today

Yeah, it looks a bit 'dry'.

I am still upset that quiznos toasted my sandwich without asking me

Pulaski

That's what Quizno's does.

Do you get upset that KFC fries your chicken, that Italian restaurants boil your pasta, or that steak and burgers are grilled?

Yeah I've never understood the attraction for all that meat.
I usually take about half the meat off, I don't want to eat 2lbs of ham on my lunch break. Save it for another sarnie!

UK sandwiches must have improved since I lived there! I remember the first time I went to a NY deli to get a sandwich for lunch -- couldn't believe the improvement over the pre-packaged objects I'd been used to in London. (Even if the counterman did think I was nuts, because, neophyte that I was, I ordered the sandwich on white, not one of the cornucopia of more interesting breads. ) The best advice for finding a good sandwich in the US: stay away from the national chains. Every town has a little local deli or sandwich shop, and that is the place to go.

Nutek

Yeah, I think they are better here too. (Though the bread can be a bit hit or miss in some places).

People saying there is too much meat (that was hard to type) ... maybe you could free up some space by throwing out some other stuff? I have seen some sandwiches that had some sort of vegetation hanging out of them.

Deli sandwiches are the way to go.

UK sandwiches are pretty good now. I was always partial to a service station cheese n' ham after a skinful at 2am, but the last time I was over, I basically lived off prepackaged sandwiches in the hospital for three weeks and they were great.

And it needs to be CLOSED. Hate when they pass off an open faced sandwich of corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing and swiss cheese on rye as a Rueben. The one and only original Rueben is a closed sandwich grilled in butter and served with cole slaw and kosher dill pickles. Been to the original Rueben's in NYC many times for this lovely dish of ambrosia.

Lobster has plenty of legs and a really good lobstah roll can't be beat.

I didn't like UK sandwiches much. Perhaps they've improved since I was there.

Panini sandwiches are superior to the regular kind on a cold roll. To make them at home you don't need a fancy appliance. I use a manual grill press that gets the job done.

Pica

Panini and sandwiches are different animals
Italian sandwiches are called tramezzini, made like your standard 2 slices white sliced and cut into triangles-Italian white sliced bread is awful but then again so is the British equivalent- but Italian is worserer

Deli meat around here all seems to be pumped with water, it's disgusting. You take a bite into your sandwich and water drips out the other side, it makes me want to chuck up.

The best sandwich was from our local farm shop, comprising of hot pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, in fresh bakery rolls. Absolutely gorgeous, I hate this thread, that's all I'll be able to think about for the rest of the day now.

I'm not sure where you're going, but that's never happened to me
