lol man some of those are awful. I had to look up what a ploughman's sandwich was. Add it to the list of elites!

I'm inrigued by the Bahn Mi love itt. I've always enjoyed them and found the ingredient interplay tasty and unique, but I've never considered them a top tier sandwich.

Most of the bahn mi's I've had were in Vietnam, just at your ordinary streetside cart that cost a dollar or whatever. I found that most:

A: did not have enough meat to my liking
B: had too high of a bread: ingredients ratio
C: were just on the dry side overall.

Do I just suck at finding good bahn mi sandwiches? Although tbh I never went out of my way to find elite ones in Vietnam. Or are Americanized ones better?

Street side pho was a different story: that was like universally delicious and crazy cheap.

I was playing pokers at the Hippodrome, and a seemingly normal person ordered an egg salad sandwich. Eek!

Yikes. Given a full menu its extremely difficult to justify ordering and egg salad sandwich!

So many sandwich choices...seemed relevant.

In honor of this thread I ordered an egg salad sandwich yesterday, but I had to smoosh stuffed olives into it to make it palatable. It did get me thinking as to what percentage of wiches at Which Wich would make the wich cut.

Samuri,

Short rib grilled cheese

*which percentage

That’s exactly what I ordered. It was between that and the beet burger.

Southern Chicken

samuri,

Probably the short rib. Don't ever get "bbq" from a place where that isn't there focus. Also, generally avoid things labeled "southern".

Sandwiches so desirable that vegans need to replicate them

The “beef burgers” are in a separate section above the “sandwiches”. ****ing stupid setup.

Haha touché Tx

But Samuri explain to me how a beet burger is optimal. I enjoy beets by themselves or on an Aussie style burger, but an all beet patty?! Compared with everything on that menu? Hmm

IME most banh mi from cart vendors aren't that great. They're cheap, so they skimp on meat, and it's not usually actual pork loin. That's one case where I think the authentic local food is not as good as the places catering to tourists.

The best banh mi I had in Vietnam was down an alley in HCMC. The vendor grilled up pork meatballs for each sandwich. That was worth seeking out.

I didn't shift the goalposts, you did. The discussion was how a lox platter is served at a restaurant, not how a premade trashcan bagel is served at a hipster NYC coffee shop

Gahhhhhhhhhh.

Stinky,


That’s one of the stupidest posts you’ve made in a while. Stick to talking about Montreal food, which apparently is all you know about.

I had this on toast during my uni days (flatmate introduced me to it). I too was sceptical but it really worked.

And on what planet is a bagel not bread?

Salt beef and mustard bagel is one my favourite things in life.

I like these too, but try not to sound like such a limey, for the sandwich's sake.

Lol salt beef

Why lol? What's it called over there?

I think what you call salt beef is what we called corned beef in the US. I won't even pretend to know why we call it 'corned'.
