Sandwiches are more of an art than you might think. But there is some thought that goes into the perfect taste and texture pairings that go into a really great sandwich. Here is a list of some great sandwiches you should try:
BLT - Bacon, lettuce and tomato on toasted bread with mayonnaise.
Chip Butty - French fries between two slices of white bread, usually topped with ketchup (almost exclusive to the UK)
Pan-Bagnat - Specialty in Nice, France, it is a hollowed out baguette filled with tuna, green bell pepper slices, red onion, sliced hard boiled eggs, olives, tomato and topped with a vinaigrette made from red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, salt and pepper.
Cuban Sandwich - Ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on Cuban bread.
The Reuben - Corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, either Russian or Thousand-Island dressing between slices of rye or pumpernickel.
Sloppy Joe - Ground beef, onions and tomato sauce, on a hamburger bun.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Name says it all!
Pulled Pork Sandwich - A pork shoulder is slow barbecued until it is falling apart, then added to a hamburger bun along with barbecue sauce.
Philly Cheesesteak - Steak, onions and cheese (usually Cheez Whiz) on a white roll.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich - Classic pairing of, you guessed it, peanut butter and jelly.
I would also add the Croque-Monsieur, which is a grilled ham and cheese sandwich where the cheese is *sometimes* found on top instead of inside.
Eating a Twix - and by “a” Twix, I’m assuming everyone actually eats both bars themselves - is equivalent to eating 11 pieces of bacon, in terms of saturated fat. Maybe you should share them.

Where do you find bacon-infused vodka?, you might ask. Find the recipe here…
