What should I get for lunch?

A mezze platter.

Of course, this is always the correct answer. Hard to find a good one in Camberwell, though...

demand what you want for lunch, and have confidence in yourself. being Reubenless honestly is a choice, unless you're dumb as a doorknob. find someone who you can impress and is willing to fix you a sandwich, and stick with your gumption on getting fed what you think is fair. that's how the world works, unless you're a chippy or large cafeteria or something. and even then its how the world works, just on a much larger, contract driven scale.

What the gently caress is wrong with you people? Sandwiches, no matter how fancy, are not proper lunch food. Lunch should be a cooked meal, preferably starting with a bowl of soup.

I get the feeling you have way more time to eat lunch than most of us.

Besides, if not at lunch, then when *is* a sandwich appropriate?

A sandwich can be appropriate as a light snack between breakfast and lunch, lunch and dinner, or dinner and bedtime, naturally.

And if you people had any common sense you wouldn't live in uncivilized nations without proper lunch breaks.

Oh sure, like a nice bowl of French onion soup. Which has a pice of bread floating on it which means it's an upside down open faced sandwich.

Or a Caesar salad, which, with the croutons, is an inside-out sandwich.

Dinner a couple of nights ago with Dino at Han Dynasty in Philly had minimal sandwich. There were vegetable dumplings which are very sandwich - ish. But the spicy cucumbers, the cumin dusted tofu, the dry pot shrimp and the aroma fish were all decidedly non-sandwich.

Also if you're anywhere close to philly, eat at Han Dynasty. Its all pretty darned authentic sichuan and its all delicious.

Unless it's a tiny sandwich, a sandwich is far too much food for a snack. Snacks are a couple bites of cheese, a piece of fruit, done crackers, or the like. The entire point of a sandwich is to be a portable one piece meal.

I think that sandwich won, or came in a close second, on some Best Sandwich tv series, whose finals I watched. It was that same guy that had the eating challenge show, Man vs. Food. It was a very subjective competition, based solely on his tastes and some criteria he made up, but that sandwich right there was my main take-away from the show.

But what is a sandwich really? Can we ever truly know?

Is it a true sandwich if it has beans in it?

What about a salad sandwich? Would everyone call it "lunch" if it didn't have meat?
In other news sometimes I put some tinned smoked tuna, cucumber, vinegar, mayo and wasabi on wonderbread and pretend it's makizushi.

That was the purpose...or one of the purposes of going there. We were going to go to John's to compare, but then the day got away from us. And you're correct, it did win on Richman's best sandwiches show.

While visiting Philadelphia, we went to La Colombe in Fishtown. Half Bakery/Cafe/Coffee House and half Rum Distillery. They had excellent coffee and their baguette was very sandwichworthy. I also had, for the first time, Osseau Iraty cheese (on aforementioned baguette) I have a new favorite cheese.

I bet it is, but I've never had it.

I was more commenting on the coolness of the resurgence of small scale liquor production. Not the fake small scale stuff like the zillion bourbons, either, but small houses taking chances and doing cool new things.

I know it's not a "small house", but my favorite mass market brewer, Dogfish Head, makes (made? not sure if they still do it) gin. I guess it's only available in Delaware or some poo poo like that so I'll never be able to try it. Would that I could.
