July List Sandwiches and June Wrapup

June’s sandwiches are in the books, folks. The Gerber was surprisingly not bad, a ham melt on garlic bread using St. Louis’ infamous Provel. The sandwich proved to be a good use of the ultra-melty cheese, or at least a better use of it than on St. Louis style pizza (with apologies to my friends in St. Louis who are fans). Gua Bao was a delicious Asian pork belly slider, and the Guajolota was basically exactly what I thought it would be, but turned out better when I added something besides the tamale and bread. My fellow Tribunal writers didn’t publish during the month, but I know a few of them have tried these sandwiches and maybe we’ll see something from them in the future.

Speaking of the future, it is now!

July is a month of repeats, it seems. Gyros are basically a Greek version of doner kebab, Hagelslag is basically a Dutch version of fairy bread, and a ham sandwich is basically a generic version of half the sandwiches we’ve already covered. As we make our way through the list, we’ll probably be seeing more of this–all sandwiches are basically variations on a couple of major themes, it’s the details that make them unique. I’m sure we can find something interesting to say about each of these, and I’m a huge gyros fan, so a month of eating them sounds like a win regardless.

How about you? Anybody out there have any ideas about this month’s sandwiches? Let us know in the comments!

Sandwich Tribunal

The idea behind this site is to explore the nature of sandwichness by eating every sandwich on the Official en.wikipedia.org List of Sandwiches and then to post here about it, preferably with lots of pictures and also words. Sandwich words.
