sandwiches galore

    Everyone loves sandwiches. Admit it, you're thinking about having one right now. When you were little, you had a PB&J or a bologna sandwich when you were young. When you get older,  your taste of sandwiches seem to change, like having a Reuben or a famous grilled cheese that is crazy with cheese, or a Philly cheese steak.

    There are so many sandwiches to choose. They even have a Dagwood sandwich, one hell of a tall sandwich; try to eat that with one bite if you can. Primanti Bros in Pittsburgh have french fries and coleslaw in their sandwiches. I can't say anything negative on that if I haven't tried it.

   The history of the first sandwich started when the Earl of sandwiches was in the middle of a card game; was hungry and didn't wanna stop playing. So he asked for some meat between two slices of bread. Since then the sandwich was born and food history was made. 
   There so many different sandwiches all over the world, the most famous being a classic hoagie ( or girnder, po boy) whatever you wanna call it where ever you live. So many places have their version on the perfect sandwich (hoagie whatever you wanna call it) Jersey Mike's has their version and they have used the same ingredients and bread since they've opened on the boardwalk.

  A french butcher named Phileppe made an accident with his sandwich but it  was about to become a famous phenomenon in the sandwich industry, a "French dip" as they called it. Everybody loved them; you can dip the  roll or the whole sandwich in the juices. 

   I on the other hand love grilled cheese, but not with American cheese like a classic Kraft Singles slices, you don't see many of those anymore (unless you make them at home) I like using stretchy cheeses like asiago or mozzarella (mostly asiago) and Cheddar cheese of course. Bread depending, must be whole wheat of course, not that wonder bread. But there is a restaurant (I think in NYC) that serves only PB&J {No thanks to Kramer's idea} and they mostly use wonder bread and a lot people love it. 

   I love to use JIF peanut butter, but they have their own brand of peanut butter. They have made creamy, chunky even chocolate flavored. That is so cool. 

  Sandwiches will always evolve and there will always be different ways to create a different sandwich that might one day make food history. For me a great grilled cheese with Cheddar and asiago will do for me and I will enjoy it as well you didn't end up getting hungry, or making a sandwich while reading this. Till then, watch as food will still evolve into something new year by year and enjoy what you create food wise of course. Till then, ciao bloggers and Mangia
