I submit to the playground. 2 sammiches of yummyness that evoke absolutly disgusted responses in most people that hear of them.

I dare you to try them. :smallbiggrin:

I also dare you to submit your own wierd sammichs.


sammich number 1
the bannana and pickle.

slice bananna and place on bread, followed by pickles*, sandwhich pickles between more bannana if desired.

*like on a hamburger

enjoy.


sammich number 2
the bannana and chicken sammich.

take a fried chicken strip. lay on bread, take a bananananana, place on top of chicken strip. use second piece of bread to smush it down.

enjoy. :smallbiggrin:


so.
who has sammich number 3?

It's not disgusting, but it is regularly decried as being "too dry" (a claim I dispute) or "too carby" (which it totally is). On wheat bread (the wheatier and nuttier the better. Mine has like 12 grains and 9 nuts or something), spread peanut butter and then put cheese on it (I enjoy Provolone, but we usually don't have any good stuff, so Cheddar works). If you find it "too dry", dip with ketchup (which I like, but have heard the "disgusting" line all too many times).

Catsoup and honey.

Put honey on bread, put ketchup on after words. It's actually quite delicious!

Neither of those are wierd.

Wierd was my original vision of a popcorn sandwhich.

Which included ripping open an unpooped bag of popcorn stuffing the kernels and butter slab between two slices of bread and microwaving it.

Cue me opening the microwave to find a hole in my paper plate and sandwich while popcorn shoots at me.

Wierdest sandwich ever.

--Peanut butter & dill pickles on rye. (Vlasic works best in my experience.) Experiment until proper peanut butter:pickle ratio is found.

--Ketchup, curry powder, and any meat ever. ...bread optional.

That does sound quite good...

Weirdest sandwich I've ever had - Creme Egg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury_Creme_Egg) sandwich... while on fieldschool at uni. Yeah... it was nearing the end of the two weeks and we were seriously running out of ideas...

I often make what I call "everything I had left in the fridge at the time" sandwiches.

A few I remember include:

Gruyère cheese, smoked trout, onions and green curry; Mashed bananas, red curry and onions (surprisingly good, actually); sweet corn, cream cheese, red pepper and brie; gorgonzola, garlic and peaches...

People think I'm weird, but I like them.

Peanutbutter, cornchips, annnddd...I seriously don't remember what else was on that. Felix was there. There's video evidence. But I do not recall. I -do- recall that we spread it so thick with peanut butter that I choked and my gag-reflex was triggered to the point I'm pretty sure I threw up D:

Ham, cheese and milo toasted sammich, with tomato sauce (of the ketchup variety).

Not one of mine, but something my dad often makes (When he's not using jedi mind tricks to convince me to make him grilled cheese). Banana and mayonaise. He slices the bananas thinly lengthwise and lays them on the bread slathered in mayo. It's a strange process to watch, bacause I think it would taste awful, but he seems to like it.

He also suggested peanutbutter and bacon (or ham) to me, which is a fantastic combination. Jelly was also suggested to go with it, but i don't like peanut butter and jelly on the same sandwich.

Lastly I'll suggest something that's apparently rare in my part of the world (again another thing told to me by dad when he talks about his travels). This one comes to us from the French. Ham and butter on a fresh baguette. sounds so weird, but it's really delicious. Add a good cheese too, if you're inclined. I like swiss on mine.

Banana and chicken doesn't sound like such a strange combination for some reason. Maybe it's because I just love meat.

Banana and pickles however..... I'm rather opposed to trying that out.

My sandwiches tend not to go much into the extremes, yes. Dijon mustard and fig jam, though? Like 'em both, but, hmm. Mustard would overpower, methinks.

Banana and chicken? How about fried plantains with a white chicken breast seasoned in a Caribbean Jerk rub or sauce? Throw on a slaw made with a bit of olive oil and pepper instead of mayo. Mmm...might be on the dinner menu tonight.

When I ordered a bacon, goat cheese, mushroom and honey sandwich at some sandwich place last month... they looked at me funny, and I distinctly heard customers behind me laughing and finding that weird.
Hey! It's not strange! There was a bacon and goat cheese on the menu, mushrooms were a normal ingredient, and honey was listed among the sauces! Why suggest it if they don't expect people to actually order it?
I don't care, it was the best sandwich I ever ate. :smallamused:

As for banana and chicken... doesn't sound that weird to me either. Heck, I might try it, if I were more fond of bananas.

Let's see... There was this one time when I hadn't taken a trip to a grocery store for a while, and about half of the food I had left was an egg, minute amounts of provolone, some cheddar, pesto, garlic, onions, and salami, as well as some bread. So I mixed them all together, cooked, and slapped between two pieces of bread, and viola! A really really weird sammich that also tasted sort of good if you got past the fact that you could smell it from miles away.

Attempting to use a knife & fork in KFC will result in your fellow diners holding you down while the staff chop off your hands as penance.

You eat KFC with your fingers or you don't eat it at all.

Banana and pickles however..... I'm rather opposed to trying that out.

the bannana and chicken was created by me looking around the kitchen going "what do I want to eat?"

I saw chicken in the fridge and I was like "oooh yummy chicken"
and then I turned around and saw the bannanas and part of my brain went.
"banannas and chicken?....I MUST try it!"

and now it's one of my favorite sammiches.

as for bannana and pickle. I honestly can't remember what inspired trying that. :smallfrown:

I think the same idea as the chicken, but I can't be sure.

Mercenary Pen

Can't go with the first two since I dislike bananas, but I did actually try Pork Salami and strawberry jam a good few years back, and it worked surprisingly well.

For more ordinary fare, ham cheese and mango chutney sandwiches spring readily to mind.

Who eats in the store? Anyway, I prefer the local all you can eat chinese place.

One time my dad found a tentacle in his rice! He ate it.

And this is relevant because I'd make chinese food sandwich's.

It's the butter that makes it odd. Certainly not as odd as some of the other sandwiches in this thread, but the idea of spreading butter on ham... it's just odd, at least from an American perspective (if I may speak for my fellow countrymen). I was sure it wouldn't taste good, but I trusted my dad's experience and tried it and discovered that it's pretty darned tasty.

Gitman00

It's not disgusting, but it is regularly decried as being "too dry" (a claim I dispute) or "too carby" (which it totally is). On wheat bread (the wheatier and nuttier the better. Mine has like 12 grains and 9 nuts or something), spread peanut butter and then put cheese on it (I enjoy Provolone, but we usually don't have any good stuff, so Cheddar works). If you find it "too dry", dip with ketchup (which I like, but have heard the "disgusting" line all too many times).

I wouldn't call that too carby, as sandwiches go. Cheese and peanut butter are both high protein and low carb (as long as you don't get a really sweet brand of peanut butter), and multigrain bread is much lower-carb than white bread. Sounds pretty good.

I know it was alluded to earlier in the thread, but banana and mayonnaise. Especially good if you fry the bananas in oil beforehand, so they're slightly crispy (like plantain, which is an acceptable substitute). The other one I really like is roast beef, cream cheese, ketchup and hot sauce. Really good, and a nice "cold and hot" sandwich (you eat it cold, but if you make it right you feel the burn).

Indeed, a sandwich without butter (or at least margarine) is out of the norm here (Northern Europe).
But then again, when I was in the US I had to elbow my way through stuff like "you wouldn't believe its not butter" and fat-free margarine in search of the actual thing - so I wouldn't be surprised if this custom is rare over there.

My wife and I invented a sandwich that could only possibly be made at a state fair. It's the clucky baconanner (or, if you're really hungry, the double clucky baconanner)

The clucky baconanner is a peanutbutter, bacon and fried chicken sandwich between two thick slices of banana bread, battered and deep fried. The double clucky baconanner has three slices of banana bread and double the chicken, peanutbutter and bacon.

If you are a wimp, you can get the norman baconanner, which holds the fried chicken. (The chicken is what makes it clucky).

The fadoober (in-joke) sammich:

Take two crusty pieces of bread, toasted if you prefer, and put between them grapes and dry pretzels. You can add a spread or relish of your choice.

Now, I can't stand the grape-pretzel mix, but I've met people who liked the idea.

I've only invented one sandwich to date. It's not really a weird sandwich, though; I was desperately trying to cure a hangover, and I know eggs and ham had always helped me, so I invented the "Æggehelvede" (translation: "Egg Hell").
It's just a symmetric toast sandwich with two slices of ham, two eggs over easy done on both sides and bacon in middle parting the two halfs. Not exactly good for you if eaten on a regular basis, but at the time it was the best damn thing I'd ever had. =p

Just to note; it's delicious if using a good chilli-chutney. American friends of mine have thought of the chilli as putting chilli con carne on the sandwhich, which I think would ruin it.

It's even nicer with some thick-cut (especially if fried) ham, and/or some cheese.

State of the art sarny.

Also probably good. IIRC, I wanted to try it out but didn't have any chillisauce around, so I used a good tomato and chilli chutney we had.

Damn delicious.
