3. I have a soft spot of Subway's meatball sandwich. And the McDonald's McRib. Don't judge me.

...as does the rest of America.

EWWW! I had one of those about, jeez, it must have been at least 8 years ago. They were "testing" that sandwich here in the DC area. I bought one, and had to throw it out after the first bite. I couldn't stomach the artificial "ribs." What the hell did they make the boney ribs out of? They were not real rib bones.

chipotle vegetarian burrito

The best thing ever made.

donner meat butty, chilli and lemon, bit of salt - Thurcroft chip shop - summer 1990

an epiphany

There's a great Mexican sandwich place in my building, Manny's Tortas, and the veggie torta is pretty awesome. Crusty bread, beans, tomato, onion, sauteed mushrooms, avocado, cheese and chipotle mayo. YUM.

And there's a vietnamese deli that makes great vegetarian Banh Mi near me. I get the mock duck and the other veggies and herbs and bread are allllll perfect. Yum.

There's no "bones" in a McRib...it's processed meat SHAPED to look like a mini slab of ribs.

I'm not crazy about them, but apparently everytime McDonald's brings them back, sales go thru the ROOF!!!

It's the same thing as THIS;

A few years back, Burger King offered "real ribs" here (also on a trial basis). I even photowhored my lunch on here when I bought them.

Tasted "ok"...mostly bone, not alot of meat.

There's a (somewhat seedy & therefore authentic) Mexican restaurant nearby that I took my buddy to (he's whatever you call people of "Mexican" descent who've been here since California was in Mexico).

ANYWAY...I finally had an authentic torta.

Steak, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and spicy mayo.

If they'd only used better bread, it would be on my top-10 list.

I've never heard of either expression.

Can't possibly be worse than the McRib.

I think the words butty and breadcake are yorkshire/northern english...

it's got that same addictive hint of 'sweaty armpit that makes you want to go back for more' as a McRib i'm guessing... it tastes much better after copious amounts of alcohol

I understand now.

I recently had the "Tuna & Jalepeno" sandwich from subway and it was delicious! Tuna, mayo, mustard, onions, black olives, jalepeno's, salt * pepper, delicious!

I saw that advertised!

If you survived the experience, then it gives me the courage to try it.

The Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki sandwich I get from Subway is gooooooood.

I'm not sure if it's the best sandwich I've ever had but since I don't eat many sandwiches from outside places, it probably is.

Blows Subway out of the water.

I don't like Subway... they're bread is always "damp".

A Quizno's opened up right down the street from it, and didn't stay open a year...

Unfortunately Quizno's is more expensive...but still, their sandwiches are 10x better than Subway.

There's this shop in White Plains, NY called Melt. I've had a few of their sandwiches but the best one was their aged beef top round done in their bbq style, which is with gorgonzola, tomatoes, bacon, and their bbq sauce I also liked their roasted turkey breast in their mango style - mango salsa, cilantro, red onion, and jalapenos

Oh snap, I've got all that stuff in my fridge..wonder how hard it would be to re-create that sans chipotle mayo . I have some dried Mexican peppers in the pantry that my sister sent from the US, but I'm not sure if they're chipotle...

I've had mock duck in Minneapolis before at a friend's house, it was good as hell What do they normally make it out of, is it like Seitan strips?

Orger, your sandwich made me cum in my pants.

A good grilled cheese with bacon, that's the ticket.

PurpleJedi said:

Has anyone had a really, really good Cuban sandwich???

ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard and Cuban bread

I'm dying to have a REALLY good one.

The next time I go to Miami, it'll be my mission to find one.

Depending on where you're hanging out, you can pretty much find them at any Cuban cafeteria, especially in Hialeah (on the north side of town). If you're hanging out in Miami Beach, the same is also true of any mom& pop bodega/cafeteria north of 22nd street on Collins Ave, otherwise the oldest, most famous and dependable placed to get your medianoche on is at the historic Puerto Sagua on 7th & Collins, David's Cafe on 10th & Collins, or David's Cafe II on 16th & Meridian

If you can get canned chipotle peppers in adobo there, just puree up a bit and add the mayo. A little goes a long way. I'm sure there are other spices in the mayo I get, but that would get it close with the smoky peppery goodness. If not, adding whatever kinda spiciness will help.

And yeah, mock duck is basically seitan. I think they use funny molds so it looks like duck skin on one side. And the seasoning is always a little zingier than the seitan I buy in stores, but it's all pressed wheat gluten.
