    Default Your Favorite Sandwich.

    HERE YE! HERE YE!

    After recieving a complaint that my posts were not all that long, I figured I'd make a topic that actualy INSISTS that you put length in your responses.

    "The Topic", you ask? Read the bloody title. What's you're favorite sandwhich and WHY!

    MY ANSWER: I would have to say that my absolute favorite sandwich would be the TURKEY SANDWICH *chorus of angels*

    I could just leave it at that, but why should I? There is a world of fun to be had at explaining WHY, I love the Turkey sandwich.

    DIVINE EXPLENATIONS To truely understand the Turkey Sandwich, and my resulting love affair with said sandwich, one must look deep into the annals of the past. Yet, to leave my explenation at merely that would be perposterous! What kind of a poster would I be if I did not fully explain myself with many many words? After all, the more words you have, the better poster you are right? This is why I am going to also delve into my OWN past.

    Let us go back over 300 years to a certain English nobleman known as the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. Legend, or fact to the beleivers in such things, tells us that the Earl was involved in a card game and he did not want to stop playing. The clever earl demanded that the meat be placed between two slices of bread so his fingers would not be defiled by the stickyness of the meat and he could continue to play. Thus, the sandwich was born. It is interesting to note that America gained it's independence in this century, and that if you take the words "Cards" "Fourth" (as in the "Fourth Earl of Sandwich") and "gingivitis" and shuffle the letters around, you can easily have the word "God" apear in the results.
    Coincidence?

    Now on to my past. I was born in a rather large town of Greeneville Tennessee. The fact that the towns name is spelled with four E's should be noted, as there is no E in sandwich. It would seem that is also a huge coincidence.....or is it?
    After living in Tennessee for a year, my family moved to Atlanta, a city famed for it's Coke Museum. Is it not also fact that Coca-Cola is a compliment OF the turkey sandwich? It is an undeniable fact. Perhaps the cynics out there would say "omg, Coincidence," To them I say...shut up. The rest of my life is irrelevant, as Government Scientists have proven that the early years of developement are more important to a persons tastes and preferences later in life.

    On again, to the Turkey Sandwich. The sandwich itself may seem drab, it's only turkey. WRONG! According to my sources "The Turkey Sandwich was voted America's #1 Sandwich in a recent study conducted by the University of Detroit."

    "Subway also reported that it is the sandwich most often ordered by patrons, accounting for approximately 11.2% of annual orders."

    Add the fact that the Turkey Sandwich is the least fattening non-vegetarian sandwich available on the market and you've sold me that it's the greatest sandwich on earth.

    I have therefore explained to you in many word why I love the Turkey Sandwich....something that took me a long while to do, when all I had to say was "Turkey Sandwich is my favorite, how about you?" Many people may find the simplicity of that statement to be ideal....COINCIDENCE?...I think not

    Well, I think your reasoning is flawed. I'll risk it and only post a short reply - marmite on toast is best

    By stating the above quotation, you are arguing against these two things:



    THE TURKEY SANDWICH: This is probably the most diverse sandwich on earth. Mayo? No problem. Cheese? But of course, but not if you don't want it. Mustard? Indeed good sir! You can throw a tire on this sandwich and it would taste delicious. It is simple, it is elegant, it IS a turkey sandwich.

    and of course this:



    That is right: Logical thinking!

    To say your opinion in so few, easily understandable words, is just illogical. Why would you not divulge into your very reasoning, why not go so far as to the color of underwear you were wearing when you decided that you prefered this obsenity to sandwich that is "marmite on toast"? It is illogical, is it not?

    Okay, I lied, Three things:

    Benjamin Franklin.

    Thinker, Revolutionary, Statesman, Inventor, and lover of Turkeys.

    It is a widely known fact that Mr Franklin put forth the idea to make the national bird of the United States of America the Turkey! If Franklin thought it should be so, he surely was also a lover of the Turkey sandwich. If Ben Franklin thinks this way, I am sure we all should, or you're just a Jefforsonian Aggrerian!

    It's amazing how much discussion can be put into such a simple topic.

    Ignoring the fact that I obviously know the real reason behind this topic (and I agree Hicks, I agree), I will now state what my favourite sandwich is and why.

    MY favourite sandwich is...wait I don't eat sandwiches.

    Well, I like turkey with wheat bread. But not that nasty cheap wheat bread that is just as lame as white bread. I mean the real wheat bread. And lettuce, green peppers and cucumbers. Perhaps with some mustard. Yes, that.

    'tis relatively healthy, tastes like a pampered garden and goes down nice with a glass of iced green tea.

    Willst Mr. Hicks makes a good point with the illoustrious Turkey Sandwich, I must contest with the all time American Classic-the Hoagie.

    Although not called the Hoagie everywhere, this sandwich includes only the finest of luncheon meats, vegetables and cheeses. All combined within the greatest of all breads, Italian, the Hoagie is THE best sandwich.

    Ahh..What a fancy sandwiches. I dont need much and also two many ingredients just make the sandwich taste too messy. My number one option is simply a slice of dark bread with real butter,cheese and fresh cucumber. Other good one is slice of fresh white bread with butter, salami and fresh tomato slices. I like to keep my sandwiches simple.

    I have it on good authority that Octavian's favourite sandwich is peanut butter (crunchy) and honey. This is not a delicacy I am overly fond of.

    Me between.....oh that kind of sandwich, Sausages, preferably Toulouse though chilli are ok on a bed of lettuce with tons of Daddy sauce and a pinch of black pepper. If Hicks has been sent a note from you know who (i presume that's the reason for this) then things are worse than i feared, shame on the petty minded.

    Um. Is that edible? Ketchup sandwiches that is. Sounds gross. :hmmm:

    Alright this is the perfect sandwich combination:

    1/2 a pound of 100% ground angus beef grilled untill it is just pink in the center. Now place that patty on a toasted bun with sesame seeds. Before you top it off, place 1 slice of cheddar cheese. Just as the cheese begins to melt place two strips of crispy bacon across the top. Now you top it off with any condiment you like such as ketchup, ketchup and mustard, blue cheese, BBQ sauce, or anything else you can think of. To finish it place the toasted top bun over the top and enjoy. The good o'le American cheeseburger.
