What's the best sandwich in the world?

A Reuben with real rye bread and fresh sauerkraut.

But I really want to try the special sentient sandwich from adventure Time.

Mine's the Vietnamese bánh mì. Cucumbers, cilantro, pickled carrots and daikon, jalapeños, mayo spread (similar to Kewpie), paté, and your choice of meat, on a Vietnamese baguette. I prefer traditional cold cuts, char siu (xa xiu), or meatballs (xiu mai). And I always pay for extra paté.👌🏼

Cuban sandwich.

A nice M.L.T. A mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich when the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe.

A BLT dressed up with avocado. The quality of the vegetables is key. Doing it right requires fresh lettuce and tomatoes from the backyard garden. Nothing store-bought can compare.

The Reuben is up there. A delightful combination of creamy (Swiss), hearty (Rye), salty (corned beef), sweet (Thousand Island dressing), and tart (sauerkraut). Those are like, the Power Rangers of sandwich ingredients. When they combine, the end result is unstoppable.

The Cubans my wife made. They were the best example I have ever had.

• Instant pot citrus pork shoulder. I don't know how but it was the most citrussy pork I've ever had
• grocery store smoked honey ham
• some kind of cheese. Provolone?
• good chunky mustard
• Ciabatta roll
• grilled and smashed flat on a hot cast iron with lots of butter

I could Se7en Gluttony kill myself on these if the supply was available.

Monte Cristo

Turkey, ham, cheese on bread and then you dip the entire sandwich in a batter or just seasoned eggs (like French toast) and then deep fried.

Served with raspberry jam usually.

Very hard to find a good one.

The Bahn Mi is the bomb diggity food of the gods.

Muffaletta. No contest.

One that you didn't have to make for yourself.

Cliché, but the one someone else made for you.

Someone already mentioned the Reuben, which is delicious, but an authentic pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and just enough barbeque sauce to taste it is one of the best things on earth. I could drink that creamy, bbq-y, pork juice that leaks out like Gatorade.

croque monsieur

Soft boiled egg, tomatoes, home made mayo, black pepper and salt on a French baguette. Simple and just perfectly fine.

For me it's a good Philly Cheesesteak.

A BLT with pepper bacon thickly cut and crispy, fresh lettuce, fresh tomatoes, mustard, mayo, swiss cheese, and a splash of red wine vinegar.

Almost any sandwich that wasn't made at home.

I don't know why but sandwiches from somewhere always seem to taste better to me than ones I make at home, even if I copy it exactly. I don't know if it's psychological or what, but I'm always at least 10% disappointed with my homemade sandwiches.

I could have fresh crunchy lettuce, fancy mustard, premium meats, sprinkles or celery salt, fresh onion, whatever - it still doesn't match some sandwich I get out and about. I don't get it.

Egg Burger.

PB&J. Merely because it's the only sandwich in my mind that can fulfill a hearty, sweet craving and be satisfying every time. The simplicity is second to none, it brightens up my day each time I eat it.

Italian hoagie from around Philly. Easily.

Jamón Ibérico on a French baguette.

Tuna salad on toasted wheat bread with spinach, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, banana peppers and nacho cheese doritos smooshed into the sandwich.

Easily my go to comfort food when either my husband or I am deployed/TDY and I get sad/lonely.

I love me a grilled cheese and turkey sandwich. Simple, but comforting. Although, turkey based sandwiches in general are a food weakness for me.

A fresh hot ham and cheese.

Warm up some finely sliced ham, melt some layers of Swiss in there, lightly toasted bread with a nice spread of mustard.

A deep fried Monte Cristo with blackberry jam.

Can't beat a basic ham, cheese, and tomato toasted sandwich.

Slip some salt and vinger in there before toasting and you have a full on mouth party.

Shawarma sandwich

Not much love for the Club Sandwich. I think it's the best.

Here in NJ we’re known for not only your traditional deli hoagies (or heros, subs, whatever you want to call them), but also “fat sandwiches”. They’re usually characterized by having a ton of greasy stuff loaded into them. My personal favorite is from a place in Princeton; the sandwich is called a Sanchez. It’s a chicken cutlet sandwich with a tangy orange sauce, mozzerella sticks, and French fries on it. Horrible for you, but it’s the ultimate drunk food. Rutgers campus is also well known for their fat sandwiches you can get from food trucks affectionately known as “grease trucks”

One day a couple of years ago, we had some meatloaf and some baked mac&cheese leftovers that my wife had made. The next day I got a loaf of homemade sourdough from the farmers market that pops up every Saturday. I sliced off about a half-inch thick slice of the meatloaf and the baked mac&cheese with that fresh sourdough and grilled a sandwich that I really hope to be able to replicate at least once more before I die...

Fancy - perfectly roasted Porchetta on a homemade roll. Mayo mixed with the cracklins, Fresh chimichurri on top, bread lightly toasted in some of the pork fat.

Plain - perfect BLT with a perfect fried egg. Heirloom tomatoes in season with salt, pepper and olive oil, crisp cold butter lettuce, garlic aioli and butter toasted sourdough. Thick cut applewood smoked bacon cooked slowly in an oven and maybe some fresh avocado.

Smoked tri-tip steak to medium rare/medium and then sliced thin, lots of grilled onions, and melted swiss served on a freshly toasted baguette with au jus or warmed bbq sauce

Cuban, followed by Rueben. There really is no competition

The best sandwich I have ever had was a home made Swedish breakfast wrap...

I fried an egg and some bacon, took a soft tunnbröd ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnbr%C3%B6d ), buttered it, put some melt cheddar from a local dairy, put the hot fried egg on the cheese, and put the bacon on top, I didn't have any tomatoe, I skipped it and just rolled the tunbröd into a wrap and ate it.

It was very soggy, but tasted soo good.

There are fancier options, but it's hard to top a good homemade bacon, egg, and cheese, with crispy bacon and buttery toast.

The PB&Js your mom made and cut into quarters diagonally and brought out to you and your friends playing in the backyard when you were six. The ones with the toothpicks in them, indicating they have crunchy PB. Best after sitting for ten minutes so the jelly starts to leak into the bread a little bit. With a glass of milk.

Prime rib with horseradish mayo, onions, pickles, on a sandwich roll.

I know it's not really that fancy but I like turkey club sandwiches. If you don't know what it is it's basically a BLT but with the addition of turkey. I usually put mayonnaise and either provolone or colby jack on them as well.

One that my Mum makes when I'm feeling sick.

My Dad was right when he told me as a kid that nothing beats home made.

Love Cuban sandwiches. Recently also started liking mortadella (Bourdain style).

The best sandwich I ever had was a simple toasted ham and Swiss on white bread. Cheap grocery store variety.

I was starving, been working outdoors all day, hadn’t really eaten much for breakfast or lunch and it was probably 3 pm or so.

On of those things where you put off being hungry and you don’t realize you’re hungry until you see the food appear. It was the best sandwich I’d ever had, and there’s no way to recreate how good it was without being equally as tired and hungry.

Other than that, there’s this place called “Peter’s Super Beef” in Revere, MA. They make my favorite Italian sub with everything on it and hot peppers. Don’t know if they’re still around, but I’d have that again any day.

A BLT with fresh summer tomatoes from your own garden and home made mayo.

The best sandwich in the world was the ham and cheese one I had yesterday. It was a couple days old, but I put it in the toaster oven for a few minutes, and since it was after all the best sandwich in the world, it was still pretty good. Sorry world, I ate it.

I'm surprised to not see any gyro lovers in this thread.

pepperoni and lettuce

I am incredibly basic

The Italian sandwich at Monica’s Mercato in the north end of Boston.

Took them like 15 minutes to make and it was absolutely delicious.

That would be the Paisano, from Paisano’s in Philadelphia.

Shredded chicken, pesto, mozzarella, and tomato on a ciabatta or sourdough panini

Generic cheese in bread.

Smores

Toasted ham and cheese with quality ingredients. It's a tasty marriage of sweet sugar and salty ham, crisp toast and melty cheese.

Best one I made was when staying in Antwerp. I got the cheese in Amersdam - a truffle gouda. Butter was also dutch, from memory, but I can't recall exactly. Nice and salty. Bread was local - Suikerbrood. Sweet bread that browns easily. Ham was prosciutto from France somewhere.

Have to put the butter on the outside and pan-fry slowly to ensure the cheese melts. The If you don't have a sweet brioche bread, sprinkle sugar on the butter to get that crisp, sweet exterior.

A hotdog 🌭, has its own emoji even.

Anything utilizing Dutch crunch bread is going to be damn good, I used to love a Togo’s #16 (Italian) on that with mayo back when they still had it as a bread option.

While high I once made a club sandwich of BLT on bottom PB&J on top. The BLT had hot sauce.

Still dream about that sandwich
