Re: Samiches

I like Reubens, but there is no decent rye bread around here either. Other than that, i'll put jalapenos, tabasco, and blue cheese dressing on a crusty bread with turkey.

The Earl of Sandwich & the Sandwich
The word 'sandwich' for an item of food was possibly named after John Montagu who was the 4th Earl of Sandwich. It is said that in approx.1762, he asked for meat to be served between slices of bread, to avoid interrupting a gambling game.

Hereditary English titles can be confusing. The family of the Earls of Sandwich has no real connection to the town itself, only the title. The 1st Earl, Edward Montagu, originally intended to take the title of the Earl of Portsmouth - this may have been changed as a compliment to the town of Sandwich, because the fleet he was commanding in 1660 was lying off Sandwich, before it sailed to bring back Charles II to England.

It is generally thought here, that the word 'sandwich' as an item of food, has no connection with the town, only with John Montagu, who happened to have the title, a 'sandwich' could just as easily have been called a 'portsmouth' if the 1st Earl, Edward Montagu, had not changed his mind.

Sandwich for the name of the town is Saxon in origin and means, 'Sandy Place' or 'Place on the Sand'. The first recorded mention of the town was around 640 AD but it is older than that - there was probably some kind of settlement in Roman times, as it is very close to Richborough Roman Fort.

Close to Sandwich there is a small village called Ham (from the word hamlet - meaning small village)

Salami on Jewish Rye bread is always a favorite of mine. The onions need to be white onions and thinly sliced and then just a hint of yellow mustard.

One that I make for my son is a turkey melt. I use oven roasted turkey that is sliced medium thick. I set that in the pan and put the cheese on it to melt. Once the cheese has started to melt I throw it on some bread (he likes pumpernickle) and then use a press to toasr both sides of it. Simple, but in the winter it goes well with a nice hearty soup.

Now that is culture

One of my favorite parts of living in New Mexico those moons ago was the smell of the air in pepper roasting season. Mr Harsey, can you grow spicy ones in the NW?

Salami and onion on rye? Arghhhhhh!

Here's how I like mine, of course the "proper Italian way". Some nice crusty Italian bread, layer your thinly sliced Genoa Salami, hmm add a bit of proscuitto if desired, freshly sliced parmesan cheese, and a good helping of giardiniera peppers (homemade if you need a recipie let me know) and there you have it. Mongi!

Real Italians eat panini!

Nice Panini roll, lightly brushed with olive oil, filled with sliced grilled chicken breast, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), onion and goat cheese. Smush and grill with a brick on top or on an indoor grill with a heavy lid (GF type).

Prosciutto on bread? Sacrilege!
