Different areas of Quebec have different recipes for the sandwich, and the only real commonalities are that it will be served in a hot dog bun and contain some kind of salad. A guédille, thus, may be as simple as coleslaw and fries in a hot dog bun.
The “Ground Steak Sandwich,” almost entirely unknown outside Mt Airy, is a loosemeat sandwich similar to a Maid Rite, served in a hamburger bun and dressed with tomato, coleslaw, and mayonnaise.
The finished grillades smelled outstanding. The sweet paprika, the fennel, the aromatic herbs de provence only served to emphasize their essential porkiness.
These French Tacos are not lightweight snacks. They are serious, gut-crushing meals. I have as yet been unable to finish one in a sitting.
Provolone in the Americas is a mild cheese, well suited for sandwiches, and here it allows the aromatic qualities of the mortadella to lead–nutmeg, coriander, black pepper, warming spices.
Fish finger sandwiches may be a classic comfort food in England–even chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson list these sandwiches among their favorite guilty pleasures–but one man’s indulgence is another man’s indigestion.
As with other kebabs of this type, Donair are said to be best when cut directly from the spit and onto the bread they’ll be served in. The less time between the fire and one’s mouth the better.
Best of all was their take on the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. In addition to the tomato and lettuce, this sandwich comes with mustard and a pungent, mildly spicy pepper relish. It is frankly astonishing how well this combination worked in the donut bun.
It’s funny, I think of KFC’s Double Down as such an aberrant thing, such a weird one-off American and specifically Midwestern goof of a food dare, but it is hardly unique in its strategy of taking a dish of meat and bread, and replacing the bread with more meat.
The dabeli at Swagat come packed individually in a simple plastic clamshell. When I first started buying them there, they came wrapped in aluminum foil. Regardless of the wrapper, what’s inside is a simple bread roll, possibly a hamburger bun, spread with chutney and stuffed with a sweet and aromatic and spicy mix of potatoes.
