Sandwich of the Month

Hey y'all. A recent discussion with THP about Cuban sandwich's in another thread has inspired me to begin this thread.

What is a sandwich? According to wiki...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich

I myself shall endeavor to post a Sandwich of the Month for every month. This month I tip my hat to one of my favorite sandwiches, The Cuban.

While I encourage y'all to post up your Cuban for SOTM, for the sake of popularizing the thread, feel free to post your sandwich. Be it BLT, turkey sub, gyro, po'boy, etc.

Some rules.

1 ~ Meet the criteria as linked above according to wiki.

2 ~ True, burgers are sandwiches but as we have other threads devoted to them, we will not include them here in this thread. No burgers.

3 ~ List ingredients and methods of how the sandwich was put together.

4 ~ No matter if it is a classic reuben or tuna salad, include a heat ingredient.

5 ~ Pics are mandatory. Talk is cheap. Show us the money!

6 ~ No tortillas. We have taco threads already, and that also means no stinkin' "wraps".

7 ~ Have fun.

I'll post up my sandwich shortly.

Bon appetit!
 
Aiiiight.... here you is:

Make You Slap a Hippie Melt

This sandwich will make you think growing side-burns is a good idea.
 
Right out of the gates with the panini press. I have one of them devices. I was contemplating starting off with it cooked panini style but I think I prefer grilled up on a hot skillet. Either way, good lookin sammich.

Oh, and P.S. Panini's are borderline hippy.
 
Wait a dadgum minute!

Its not October yet!!

Still, I'ma give Sum a pass since he's eatin' my style of hippy sammich with the inclusion of sliced fresh romas and whole wheat bread.

Oh and that oozy goozy Jarlsberg is rockin' my noggin'.

It's damn sexy lookin' I sez.

I'ma go put on some Barry White.
 
Looks awesome Sum!!! Way to get the ball rollin'!!!!! :D

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm kind of over September anyway - can't we just start October early????
But that wouldn't be fair to anyone whose birthday is tomorrow, would it? Dangit.

Besides...I can't do bupkis until my damn tomatoes ripen! Which, at this rate, should be right around Halloween!
I should have a tomato ripening party - anyone in?!?!?!
 
Dammit I was just about to post my po' boy. Oh well.
 
It's October in OZ right now...

This ain't no hippy fare. This was just straight up awesomenesses.

Whole wheat bread, muenster slice, thin sliced ham, sliced roma tomatoes, dusted with dried oregano, topped with pickled jalapenos, and capped with two slices of Muenster cheese. Sandwich roboted with a patty of salted butter on both sides.

Screw you oregano haters... stop judging me.
 
Whole wheat = hippy.

Hippy.

And thanks a million Sum, I have never wanted a George Foreman kitchen clam worse than I do now.

Your Sammy looks awesome. I want one.
 
Awesome jamon & scheeze Sum.

Was that a GF grill like Scovie says?

The whole wheat hippy 'thang is a WIN in my current book.

I really think that.

In fact I'm making whole wheat tortilla's tonight!
 
Not GF grill. Cuisenart Griddler. The TRUE sandwich robot.

GF grills are fo' sucka's

I beliede 'dat.

GF might have been sumfin' in its heyday ala gettin' beat down by the Muhammad Ali Grill but obviously no mo'.

I don't gib a damn how you toasteded that 'thang Sum.

It was hot blue and righteous.

'Nuff said.
 
D made a fresh loaf of Italian WB w/ parm, basil, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and granulated onion ... this time we used the "light" crust setting (which helps if you are going to use a 'bot) ...
