Atm I'm into tortilla wraps with feta and tomatoes

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

I would add chopped iceburg lettuce and fresh spinach (not baby though, you want some bite), and maybe even a sliced mushroom.

[–] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

That sounds delicious!

Turkey or fried chicken, usually American cheese, lettuce, illegal amount of mayo

Upvoting the illegal mayo

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I don’t really eat these anymore but just hear me out: toasted bagel, cream cheese, turkey, pickles and onion. Dang I kinda want one now.

I like some staples usually. That is lettuce, maybe lunch meat if I'm feeling it, tomato, some kind of sliced cheese, and mustard! Maybe some jalapeno if fresh from garden. On whatever bread I can find that's not moldy lol

The polish way is my favorite:

  • butter
  • cheese
  • tomato
  • sausage
  • pickeled cucumber
  • reddish
  • egg

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

Cheese, whatever kind I have on hand (can't afford to get picky with cheese culture basically nonexistent where I live).

[–] Bags@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not super typical, but one of the cafe's I hit up on weekends offers a hummus and tomato bagel sandwich. I usually get it with a spinach bagel, occasionally a salt bagel. They slice the tomato super thick and usually do a good job of picking really meaty tomatoes. It's not something I'd ever thought about making before seeing it there, but it's such a basic refreshing sandwich.

On more typical cold-cut sandwiches, I'm a fiend for mustard, either dijon or plain yellow depending on the sandwich contents.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

How funny, I just made myself a tomato and lettuce sarni, well 3 of them actually. I eat these all the time. If I have any made, I will add pan fried tofu. But usually it's just the veg.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

mustard and greens, everything else is variable

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If I'm making it at home, honey wheat bread, mayo & spicy mustard, roast beef or turkey deli lunchmeat, Boston lettuce, Roma tomato slices, bacon, and sometimes Persian cucumber slices or sprouts.

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

When its hot as balls out: whole grain bread, mayo, cucumber, spring onion, tomato, shaved lettuce, s&p, touch of vinegar

usually though it's a wrap with grilled chicken, LTO, pickles, sundried tomato mayo, dijon

[–] noretus@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ideally, ham, cheese (gouda), egg, slices of pickles, pickled red onion, a bit of mayo. On a rye bread.

I often drop one ingredient or another though cheese is pretty universal.

[–] justlemmyin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I only have non meat options. 🙂

Buttered with tomato and cucumber. Buttered with cheddar cheese. Aoili with scrambled egg. Aoili with cheddar cheese and kimchi.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Real bread (not the white pan bread crap that most americans use), vegemite or marmite, cheddar, turkey or chicken, old bay, maybe italian or cajun seasoning. I love spices. Also toast bread until it's crispy af.

[–] Bags@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As someone from part of the globe where neither Marmite or Vegemite are common, they've been on my list of things to try for a while... I'll have to remember to try and find some the next time I have a hankering to put things on toast...

Also I am obsessed with the spicy Old Bay, it's basically replaced every other general spice if I'm just seasoning something like ramen noodles or a salad.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Old Bay is really good. It's hard to find outside the eastern US sadly. Also try it on mashed potatoes if you haven't. Would reccommend either Aussie or UK yeast spread but don't over do it. Spread it thin and don't use too much. Otherwise, it's way too overpowering. Enjoy!

[–] Bags@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I happen to reside in the Eastern US... I'm looking now and I don't actually think there's anywhere I could pop in and pick up some Vegemite or anything in person without hunting through a bunch of small specialty stores...

Where are you located? Wanna do a local snack swap? I can ship you a buttload of Old Bay lol

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Typical is hard because I like to mix it up so it's probably not very often two sandwiches are really the same.

I guess a base of ham and cheese is pretty regular for me, but then where the tang, heat, crunch and moisture comes from is very much up for grabs based on what's in my fridge.

I had a prosciutto cotto, Gouda, chopped black olive, standard coleslaw and english mustard on toasted sourdough earlier in the week—that one slapped pretty hard even if it was a bit messy.

[–] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

English mustard is the cats meow

[–] solidsnake@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Turkey Salami Provolone LTO V/O SP Oregano mayo

[–] trinsec@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

80% of the time a Gouda cheese.

Cheese is always good
