barok 0 Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 So here`s what you need - your favorite kind of bread - mine is the fat french baguette - you can cut in half and have two sandwiches - just think! you`ll also need some leaf lettuce a tomato, an avocado, age tofu - you know that puffy fried yellow tofu that doesn`t quite look like tofu. Japanese folks put it in udon or ramen sometimes, or they cut it up and put it in miso soup. you `ll also need yakiniku sauce - the spicier the better I say. salad dressing and onion are optional. So you are making a sandwich. 1) slice the tomatoes and onions into 3 and 1 thin slices, respectively 2) slice up as much avocado as you think is reasonable 3) peel off some leaf lettuce and wash it 4) lightly toast your favorite bread 5) after the bread is toasted, put salad dressing, lettuce tomatoe and onion on one side of the bread (in that order), then put or spread (depending on how you like it) the avocado on the other side of the bread. 6) refry the age tofu in a pan. when it is nice and seared, but not blackened, mind you, pour some yakiniku sauce on it, and flip it a few times to really get that sauce in there. 7) put the sauzy agetofu on the avocado side of the sandwich 8) slap the sandwich together, cut it in half, and. . . 9) enjoy the best damn sandwich you never had ! ! I myself do this 2-3 times a week, and have fer a while - - good stuff, and healthy too. Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 u live in a dream world!! careful cos one day it may all come crashing down. my everyday sandwich and dream sandwich are kept a safe distance from each other. i know not to tempt fate by trying to squeeze too much pleasure out of life. so i go grated cheese, slap on some lettuce half fat kyu-pi-(incidentally i dig the ad big time) and on your way. for the idyllic moments however, fat home made multigrain bread, crunchy crust, soft like a cloud in the middle. some fancy lettuce with a name that'll impress any sheilas what happen across me with me sandwich at hand, a few semi-sundried tomatoes, some mild cheese that doesnt overwelm the other vegies, thinly sliced onion, and a maybe a bit of av. spot o' pepper, no salt or mayo. country town, no shoes, sunny day, strong iced coffee, cool sunglasses, fine birds strolling down the street eyeing up my sarnie. cheap country bakery up the street (with plastic hangy fly flaps plus a screen door for double insect protection) that sells awesome custard tarts. a beach just over the dunes. and distant thoughts of a tofu baguette that didnt quite make the cut [warning: this sandwich is not for japan] Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 White Bread fresh out of the Bread Machine just long enough that it is not to hot to handle. Cut two thick slices. Slather loads of Peanut butter on one and as much as humanly possible crystalized honey on the other. Put faces together and eat always making sure to not squeeze to hard as to make a mess all over your pants. Now that is a good sandwich. Link to post Share on other sites

enderzero 0 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I can attest that barok's sandwiches are the goods. A weird sandwich my Dad used to eat was peanut butter, mayonaise, and lettuce. I tried it recently and it is quite good. Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 There are so many great combinations of sandwiches that you can make from all sorts of nutritious and delicious cheeses from around the world. Perhaps we could have that new Cheese Forum setup on here to discuss the possibilities. So many topics to cover! Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Barok's sandwich sounds like the Vegetarian Society sandwich for vegetarians who crave bacon. It used to recommend frying strips of tofu in soy sauce. The fact that the Vegetarian Society society has seminars about bacon sandwiches says quite a bit, I think. Mind you, they probably wouldn't if Japanese bacon was all that was available. If you're a vegetarian, I'd read the label of that yakiniku sauce carefully. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 There's a sandwich bar not far from the Albert Docks in Liverpool that makes the best sandwiches ever. Amazing bread and pick your own fillings - and they give you real good portions too. It is awesome and I usually go there a few times when I'm back home. Any why are the Japanese so crap at sandwiches anyway - its not as if they're hard to make now is it? Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 At 200 yen to the pound, start saving for those sarnies mate. On my last trip, I was surprised at how much a lot of everyday things cost (yenwise) . Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I notice that more and more as well, quite a few things in the UK seem so expensive. Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan 0 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Marmite sandwiches were my staple diet until I was about 15! For those of you who are unfamiliar with Marmite, I bless you and hope one day that you to can experience it's wonderful taste. Cheeseman, c'mon you gotta have a top ten cheese list or something ? Buffalo Mozarella is good, along with Feta and Goats cheese!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
dancing_barefoot 0 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 We've got a new bakery opened up near where I live and they make amazing bread and sandwiches, pick your own fillings. Good portions and great bread (for a change). Yummy. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I discovered a new place called Quizno's in Canada. They serve incredible subs. Much better than Subway. They also have a great "chilli in a breadbowl". Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Hope I'm not too shocked NoFakie, will report. See ya Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Mini report time then. Yes, I was a bit taken aback with the prices in the UK - the good sarny shop was still there, still good.... but 3.50 for a butty? Seriously, UK isn't cheap, sad to say. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I tried making a barok sandwich, although not having any yakiniku sauce to hand, I sliced the agedofu and put marmite inside. In terms of deliciousness, the sandwich came a distant 5th or so behind cheese and ham, sausage and marmalade, straight butter and marmite, and several other contenders.
