Sandwiches I Will Like

Last night I caught most of a PBS documentary entitled Sandwiches You Will Like. Even if it didn't have the best title ever assigned to any piece of media, I still would have been entranced.

First, it made me realize how much CRAP we put on our sandwiches. I'm part of this terrible meat marginalization trend, slathering my Quizno's sandwiches with three kinds of sauces and onions and cheeses. But the sandwiches that looked best (and seemed to inspire the fiercest sandwich loyalty) were those that stuck to the basic formula of Giant Pieces of Delicious Meat plus Real Good Bread. Chipped ham! Beef on weck! Where did we lose our sandwich way? (I can't bring myself to get on board the "loose meat sandwich" bandwagon until they come up with a less disgusting name, though. LOOSE MEAT? Seriously?)

Second, I am not eating anything but sandwiches from now on. This will become much easier when I'm back in Philadelphia, as my home city had the lion's share of featured sandwiches on the show. But I'm hopeful--others have trod this path before me, and any plan of action in which the worst case scenario is "grilled cheese sandwich" is pretty much no-fail.

OMG, I've had a Maid-Rite before. It's TERRIBLE. But my mother swears by them because she grew up eating them so every time we go to Hannibal, MO to visit family we have to eat there. (shudder)

On the "simple is best" theme. I remember eating great sandwiches when I was a graduate student for a semester at the University of Leiden. In the student cafeteria -- just small, crusty rolls, with some roast beef or ham, a slice of good cheese (probably Gouda or Edam) -- no sauce, no lettuce, nothing else. They were wonderful -- and really cheap.

I mean, this show made even sandwiches that you'd think would be disguting (dipping the bread into some kind of mysterious opaque meat juice) look good, but even their miracle camera-work couldn't save the Maid-Rite. It doesn't even have a SAUCE. it's just a naked, horrible Sloppy Joe.

As a WNY boy, I have to testify that there's nothing greater in this world that beef on weck from Schwabl's of West Seneca. Beef, roll, and horseradish: anything else is superfluous.
