I’ll start with a little background and a some examples. First, any of you who’ve read my posts for any length of time know I primarily love a carnivorous diet. Oh I like good vegetables as much as anybody else, but I thrive on meat. So why am I delving into something like vegetable sandwiches? Frankly because I’ve had a few of those that I like too. A caveat is in order here thought: because I say “vegetable” sandwich, doesn’t mean it is necessarily “vegan.” Egg or dairy based condiments such as butter, or mayonnaise, ranch dressing, etc. are acceptable. Now for a few examples:
-Tomato sandwiches are popular here in the Southeast when local, fresh tomatoes are available. they’re also one of my favorites. Unlike an earlier thread I started about fried green tomatoes, these sandwiches are made with raw, ripe tomatoes. Preferably beefsteak tomatoes as they fill the sandwich better. It’s a simple sandwich. Just a bit of mayonnaise on each slice of bread, then a thickesh slice of fresh, raw tomato, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
-Next up on my personal list would be the garden sandwich Subway offers (yeas you can make it at home but I got the idea from eating theirs so credit is due here) Take the basic French loaf and split it for a submarine style sandwich (also called PoBoy style here along the Gulf of Mexico) At subway you can choose from any of the vegetable toppings they have for the meat sandwiches and can also add a cheese if you like. In my case I omit the cheese for this sandwich and have shredded lettuce, raw spinach, cucumbers, black olives, tomatoes, pickle chips (you call them gherkin chips) pickled jalepeno slices, onions, sweet pepper slices, salt, pepper, mayonnaise, and an oil & vinegar based salad dressing.
-My third example is one Barbara likes (apparently a favorite in the states along the Great Lakes) a simple onion sandwich. First butter both bread slices and then add a thickish slice of raw onion (sliced across the layers)
-My final example comes with a couple of questions as well. That would be a cucumber sandwich. I’ve never tried one but it has a reputation here of being the sort of thing y’all moght serve at a high tea. The questions are a) is it a common sandwich there. and b) if so could any of you describe it? (What type of bread? What condiments, seasoning, etc?)
And now for the fun: please list and describe any of your favorite favorite vegetable sandwiches. As I said earlier they don’t need to be completely vegan and animal based condiments are allowed. @Toddy if I remember correctly you’re both a vegan (although vegan isn’t a requirement as such, a vegan entry would be welcome) and a baker (fresh baked breads would make an awesome sandwich!) I hope you have some good contributions

and I'm not fond of those gluten free wraps. So, I'll just have the filling as a salad and have a couple of oatcakes spread with marmite with it.
