I love sandwiches, versatile and fun. Something quick to throw together or make ahead for later when you know you won't have the time.. Good alone or with soup. Some of my favorites are meals almost all by themselves. Being heavily influenced by the 'Bumstead' sandwiches made by Dagwood in the comic strip 'Blondie'. Mile high sandwiches with multiple meats and cheeses, some lettuce, tomato and pickle for garnish, a nice layer of mayo. YUM! Germany has only enhanced my love of the sandwich with the huge offerings of breads, spreads and condiments that can be added.
Some of my favorite more complicated sandwiches are made with leftovers. Open faced bread with roast, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Or toasted bread with leftover meatloaf and mayo. Still simple but you need to have made the meal before to get this delicious meal after.
Sandwiches aren't just for lunch either. The mentioned open face sandwiches make a great dinner and for breakfast there is of course the traditional egg and muffin or you could get fancy and make my favorite Monte Cristo. It is a layered sandwich with 3 slices of french toast. One layer is ham and swiss the other is turkey and cheddar. Then dip the whole thing bite by bite in maple syrup. Mmmm.
