I will stick with a Scotch egg.
Perfect for on the go.

Only way I’d eat that if it went into a toaster for 10 minutes.

Nothing like a good Banh mi.... slathered with pate

I love Thai food. But they don't have good bread here like in Vietnam (because Vietnam was colonized by the French and Thailand was never colonized by any Western empire).

The only decent bread here is that made by bakeries owned by French or Germans. Fortunately there are a few in the area where I live. But if I go to other areas that don't have a group of expats, I'm SOL.

Oh Gawd, Subway can hardly be considered food. Terrible food.

You can improve your credit score by not storing your avocado in water.

Yuck! I'd rather have that Fish Fillet with Bacon that McDonald's served up to the Muslims.

[steve8714]

That would be OK, too.

[lee martell]

Which ketchup goes with that kind of sandwich?

[1Old Pro]

LOL, just kidding. PBJ’s are good, hold the Velveeta.

[steve8714]

“Real Cheese” snobs, no other cheese will do for this.

[ronniesgal]

just a little butter is very good, that sandwich has too much, imho.

The best part about that french sandwich is its bread....I don’t believe you can find anything like it, here in the States.

You have that right. I have tried the last 54 years to find a sandwich that comes close to a Bahn-Mi sandwich I bought from an old street vendor in Bien Hoa South Vietnam in 1968. The bread used was simply the best French baguette I ever tasted. That's the best thing the French influence left the Vietnamese. I have eaten a ton on baguettes since then with nothing coming close. Even the U.S. Vietnamese deli's and bakeries I have tried have not ever been able to duplicate it. The search continues and i'm getting fatter.

“White bread, creamy peanut butter, Welch’s grape jelly. Optional, Velveeta.”

The author has a point about simplicity. My daughter and I regularly get together for meals. Sometimes we just are not very hungry. We resort to something quick and simple when that happens. Our solution, just a baguette and a glass of wine. Great bread and good wine. It doesn't get much more simple. Good company makes a meal more than lots of food.

A jambon-beurre is just one step removed and a good solution to a little hunger when a full meal is not required. Just add some good butter and ham. Want to take that a step further, make a croque monsieur - add béchamel sauce and grill. Not satisfied yet? Add an egg and have a croque madame. It all starts with good bread.

For hiking or spending a lot of time outdoors...A can of Spam and Saltine crackers....

When I was a kid who had no money, the best beach sandwich was Jones Beach catsup on bread, or hot water with catsup.

We also walked to the beach.

Can’t do that today.
