Recipe Round-up: Sandwiches

”America is a confirmed sandwich nation. Everywhere you go you find sandwich stands, sandwich shops, and nine out of ten people seem to stick to the sandwich-and-glass-of-milk or cup-of-coffee luncheon.”
James Beard (1903-1985)

Good thing Dorothy chose sandwiches for this month's Recipe Round-up then,  eh?

Yes, it's sandwiches this month!  Dorothy, at Field Stone Cottage, will be hosting our Round-up next Thursday.  You can find all the details by clicking on the link.

Yes, Americans eat a lot of sandwiches.  To many Americans, lunch IS a sandwich--from the humble PB and J to the most exotic wraps, sandwiches are a staple here. 

Having said that, though, I had to go hunting for a good sandwich quote for this post since I only had one sandwich quote in my collection:

“Sonny, true love is the greatest thing, in the world -- except for a nice MLT -- mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is lean and the tomato is ripe.”
Miracle Max

Here are a few more:

"Too few people understand a really good sandwich."
James Beard

“Hors D'oeuvre: A ham sandwich cut into forty pieces”
Jack Benny

“In Spain, attempting to obtain a chicken salad sandwich, you wind up with a dish whose name, when you look it up in your Spanish-English dictionary, turns out to mean: Eel with big abscess.”
Dave Barry

“Life is like a sandwich - the more you add to it, the better it becomes.”

 How about our international friends?  Do you like sandwiches?  I'm looking forward to adding some international fare to my own sandwich repetoire. (Well, maybe, except if you're from Spain)

This is our 1 year anniversary for the Round-up, so Rebecca, the "founder of the feast" is giving away a cookbook to some lucky participant.  You'll have to go visit Dorothy to find out the details.

Gah! What is it?! Some say axle grease but to most of us it's a staple.
