Sandwiches

When I worked and packed a lunch I'd use whatever is best for the flavor. When using tomatoes though I'd keep them separate until about to eat.

I worked with a guy that did that.
He'd pull out his whole tomato and pocket knife and add it to the sandwich right before he ate it.

That’s exactly what my mom would do at McDonald’s, though not with a pocket knife.

I mostly do triangles. But also the other ways when in different moods.

A couple times a year I like to make a strawberry preserve, peanut butter (crunchy or smooth), and fluff sandwich. Has to be soft white Wonder bread. Cut into 2 or 4 triangles.

Here's a sandwich I found when I was looking up another food item on the series The Sopranos. Which I just binged a year or two ago.
Apparently it is mentioned in the show quite a bit on account of the deli where they hang out.

Pepper and egg sandwich

Cook some onions and large chunks of green bell pepper until soft. You want a little bite in the peppers.
I use a lid to help them steam.

Mix your eggs up in a bowl and pour them over the veggies.
To scramble everything you want to push the spatula through in long strokes and turn the mixture over. Resist scrambling in small circles and by using the edge of the spatula to chop at things. You want the eggs to hold together in large pieces.
Like this. And that's done just pushing the spatula through and turning over now and then. It's like scrambling in slow motion.

Hollow out your bun of choice so it can hold more without becoming too fat.
It's juicy enough that I never add mayo or anything to the bread.

For added points, roll the sammi up in some aluminum foil and let it steam and warm the bread for 5 or 10 minutes

LOVE those! (It may be a Jersey Italian thing?) Sometimes with egg, sausage crumbles, peppers, and onions on a lightly buttered roll. Sometimes mom would make egg, potato, peppers, and onions on a roll.

Not following.

Both you and Pépin aren’t too shy with the butter on bread.

Traditionally it was what we had on salad in the UK back in the 50's and 60's.

That's true. I never even knew what mayonnaise was until I first went to the USA in 1973. We always had salad cream at home.

Here's today's sandwich; a family classic.
We'd go down the pub for a game of darts and a few pints, then when it closed (10.30pm in those days ) it was back home for a Cheddar cheese, beetroot and piccalilli sandwich. Plenty of butter.

Yes, I seem to recall multiple blocks in his obtained pics.

I think being a tad younger I had a different experience. Both mayo and salad cream were everywhere when I was growing up.

I think being a tad younger

"a tad", in this case, meaning "a whole helluva lot"
