Oh my, this is a golden opportunity to demonstrate my gluttony and eccentiricity in one fell swoop!
I actually have a lifelong love affair with monstrous sandwiches.
BACKSTORY:
When I was a kid I read the comic strip "Blondie" in the newspaper all the time. That comic left me with two desires that have both been fulfilled in my life: (1) Having a sweet, gorgeous, blondie for a wife, and (2) Eating monstrous "Dagwood" sandwiches like those he used to carry around on a plate in the comic.
So, that's what I base my ultimate sandwich on conceptually, but I named it differently. My version is:
The Hercules Sandwich
NOTE 1:
Built in layers, vertically arranged from top to bottom.
NOTE 2:
Use fresh pumpernickel bread, cut thick.
Spear Tip: Large Green Olive Stuffed with Blue Cheese
Top: 1 Thick Slice of Pumpernickel Bread.
Layer 11: Salted Butter OR Canola Oil Mayonaisse (On Bread)
Layer 10: Fresh Avocado Slices (With a dash of Lemon Pepper)
Layer 9: Fresh Tomato Slices
Layer 8: Boar's Head Provolone Cheese (1 Slice)
Layer 7: Fresh Baby Spinach (Organic)
Layer 6: Hormel Black Label Bacon, Cooked (5 Slices!!!)
Layer 5: Vidalia Onion Slices (3-4 depending on size)
Layer 4: Boar's Head Gouda Cheese (2 Slices)
Layer 3: Boar's Head Rosemary + Sun Dried Tomato Ham (1/4 pound)
Layer 4: Red Pepper Rings (2-3 depending on size)
Layer 3: Boar's Head Garlic Bologna (1/5 pound)
Layer 2: Boar's Head Swiss Cheese (1 Slice)
Layer 1: Boar's Head Ovengold Turkey Breast (1/4 pound)
Layer 0: Grey Poupon Mustard (On Bread)
Base: 1 Thick Slice of Pumpernickel Bread.
Now
THAT is a sandwich.
Serve with Salt & Vinegar Lay's Chips, a pickle spear, and a huge glass of Coca Cola Classic, or a Dinkelacker German Beer.
