Sandwich fillings?

[Christina M]

I think the point of bologna is NO ONE knows exactly what it is! *giggle*

Oh so true!

Bologna sandwiches are one of the comfort foods I remember my sweet mom making for me when I was little. So once in a blue moon I will make one, when I am feeling blue and missing my mom. BUT, I have to say, I cannot think about what is in bologna when I am eating it or I wouldn't eat it! Yuck.

One of my favourite is cheese and cucumber with mayonnaise. The other is cheese and lettuce, always been a favourite.

I'm not even that creative, Sue. What exactly is chutney? And you couldn't pay me to eat a tomato.

I'm afraid I am useless on sandwich fillings. I'm fond of good ol' fashioned grilled cheese.

Chutney as I know it is maybe best explained as spicy jam. Used more with something savoury here.

 

[Angel*Eyes]

Wow, everyone has such interesting sandwich choices. The food I eat almost seems bland compared to the things most of you all have mentioned.

I don't think anyone has mentioned egg salad sandwiches. Every once in a while I get a craving for one.

Ooooh, you've started me off now!

Haven't been back to this thread all day, must catch up!

Blessings, love Susana

Oh!! I love egg salad! The best one I've ever had has fresh spinach leaves and bacon mixed in....just incredible!

I'm too lazy to go through the whole thread now, but first of all, I really miss a good chutney/tomato/cheese sandwhich. Haven't had one in years.
Has anyone suggested crabcakes? On sourdough? I think they are the height of decadence, a rare but wonderful treat.

Arbys makes some good deli sandwich.

NewSong, what's creamy maple spread?

I was just given some maple syrup, but it's a bit runny to put on bread - drips eveywhere!

God bless, love Susana

Making maple cream (maple spread) at home is a fairly easy process, but extreme care must be taken because it involves very hot liquids.

Equipment needed For Cream:

1. Pure maple syrup, Grade A Light Amber or Medium Amber works best. A quart (4 cups) will make 2 pounds of maple cream.

2. Deep cooking pot or pan.

3. Candy thermometer (available at houseware store) capable of measuring to 240o F.

4. A few drops of butter or vegetable oil.

5. A large pan or sink full of cold water.

Directions for Cream:

1. Fill pan partially with water and the thermometer.

2. Bring to a boil, and note the temperature of the boiling water. Empty the pan.

3. Place syrup in pan; using a deep pan as the boiling syrup will foam up fairly high when boiling.

4. Add a few drops of oil or butter. (This helps to keep foam down).

5. Boil carefully over high heat without stirring, until temperature of the boiling syrup is 240 F above the boiling point of the water, as noted earlier. Watch carefully as the temperature climbs higher. It can get too hot very quickly near the end. If your pan boils over, you'll have a real mess! If it cooks too long it can scorch, even catch fire. Watch It! (This is not a place for children nearby, as the boiling syrup is VERY hot, and can stick and burn).

6. Remove from heat, and place immediately into a large pan or sink of very cold water to cool. Do not move, stir, or disturb the syrup during cooling. You can gently add some ice cubes to the water bath.

7. Cool to near room temperature (Hold the back of your hand close to the surface, its cool enough when you don't feel any heat radiating off the surface anymore).

8. Remove from water bath and stir slowly with a wooden spoon until it looses its gloss and starts to get opaque. You will notice a change in the color of the liquid. This will take a strong hand and some time. It will get to the consistency of peanut butter when finished.

9. Spoon into containers and keep refrigerated.

10. Lick all the utensils and enjoy.

AND FOR CANDY THIS IS A DIFFERENT RECEIPE

Directions For Candy:

1. Fill pan partially with water and the thermometer.
2. Bring to a boil, and note the temperature of the boiling water. Empty the pan.
3. Place syrup in pan; using a deep pan as the boiling syrup will foam up fairly high when boiling.
4. Add a few drops of oil or butter. (This helps to keep foam down).
5. Boil carefully over high heat without stirring, until temperature of the boiling syrup is 320 F above the boiling point of the water, as noted earlier. Watch carefully as the temperature climbs higher. It can get too hot very quickly near the end. If your pan boils over, you'll have a real mess! If it cooks too long it can scorch, even catch fire. Watch It! (This is not a place for children nearby, as the boiling syrup is VERY hot, and can stick and burn).
6. Remove from heat, and let cool for 3-5 minutes.
7. Stir evenly (don't beat) until the liquid looses its gloss and starts to become opaque. This should take a few minutes, and is the tricky part to learn the exact correct moment to pour off. Stir too long and the thickened syrup will "set up" (harden) in the pan. If this happens, add a cup of water, and re-heat slowly to dissolve sugar, then start over. If you don't stir long enough, the sugar may not "set up" in the molds at all.
8. Pour carefully into molds. Small aluminum foil pans can be used.
9. Allow to cool, remove from molds, place on a rack to dry for a few hours...enjoy!

We were given some maple cream not long ago, and it's wonderful! Especially on pancakes & on biscuits (scones). THANK YOU so much for sharing that recipe - it's expensive to get and we can only get it on the 'Net here.

My brother makes the very best maple cream and we put it on our toast and it is so good. He also drips it on ice cream like you would butterscotch and chocolate. He flavors his coffee with maple syrup instead of using sugar...

We used to sit in the sugar shanty and boil the syrup and it was so much fun. We would ride the wagons and hop off at every tree and dump each bucket into this big tub and then the tub was like hosed into a big place where we boiled the sap to make syrup. We would have fun roasting hot dogs and marshmellows under the great big thing we used to boil the syrup. Oh boy do I long to have a couple more of those days.

I think that is what makes maple syrup so much fun is there was something fun to do in all the process ...........

My brother is the only one who does any more and he does so very sparingly.
But boy does he know maple syrup recipes. He make them up.

I can't even imagine it but I guess if we eat peanut butter on celery why not eat peanut butter, onion, and mayonaise together. Argh

 

[hmingbrd]

Give me a good old american burger with cheddar cheese, 3 strips of crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and barbeque sauce on a hard roll!

 

[MParedon]

What about a Manwich yumm. Although I will say I haven't eaten one of those since I was in middle school.

 

[MParedon]

No one likes manwiches??

 

[Velcro]

I did when I was younger, so I made some a few yaers ago, and it was really bad. Ah dunno!
