Study finds what makes the perfect sandwich

By SWNS
July 31, 2023

Two in three Americans (67%) said they could live on sandwiches alone for a full week, according to new research.

The perfect sandwich, according to a survey of 2,000 Americans, consists of tomato (54%), cheddar cheese (39%) and Black Forest ham (39%).

The survey also found that the average American craves a sandwich four times a week.

It seems that the best solution for your tastebuds and your wallet is a sandwich as 42% polled said they are actively looking for ways to cut down the cost of food, with sandwiches being a good money-saving option for 67% of respondents, according to a survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Buddig.

For favorite ingredients, barbecue sauce, mayonnaise and honey mustard topped the list, all at 58%. The least favorite was ranch (26%).

Regular ham, honey turkey, honey ham and Black Forest ham all rank equally as favored meat options (39%).

Following cheddar, Swiss cheese (36%) and American cheese (36%) were top choices. Respondents’ least favorite cheese was Gruyere (1%).

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Put it on some black Jewish rye bread and I'm in!

Tomato is the number one answer?

Look, I like a good Black Forest ham and cheddar sammich as much as the next guy... but raw tomato... especially the kind available in most stores and foodservice... blech. Flavorless garbage with slimy, gross texture.

Hot pastrami (or corned beef) piled high on rye bread with mustard, along with two full-sour Kosher pickles and a draft beer.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Back when I first married (17 yrs old) I worked at fried chicken place across from our apartment. I got to take whatever chicken was left home at the end of the day. That was our supper...it was free!! Or as a really big treat we'd walk to the Jack In The Box.

We would go to the grocery store for hubby's lunch. We would buy lots of lunchmeat, bread and cheese. Nothing else. One day an old man behind us was looking at our cart and made the comment...Well, son, she's real cute and I bet she makes a good sandwich. I still laugh over that.

But cheese makes a sandwich work. jmho

 :whistle:

Not around here, she ain't... There ain't even an iron in this house.   :shrug:
Though there probably would be if there was a woman here. But only because SHE bought the clothes that require the iron... And prolly made me wear them.

That said, I hold every esteem for

the maker of the home...
the maker of the children...
the maker of the garden...
The keeper of the hearth and the home...
the keeper of the children...
the keeper of traditions...
the keeper of the elders...

AND the maker of the perfect sammich. 
There is nothing more honorable.

One of the reasons I even have a garden is fresh tomatoes.

Add mayo, salt and pepper, and you have a sandwich by itself.

The old man used to keep a saltshaker on the dashboard of his van... All his life - Long after farmer stands mostly went away. Many's the time we stopped... and he sent me for the salt... sitting on the bumper eating tomatoes, just me and him, is one of my fondest memories with him.

Roasted turkey, mayo, lettuce and mashed avocado on pumpernickel rye bread or on a sun-dried tomato wrap. I love tomatoes but they don't love me.  **nononono*

I don't care which meat (no pork or seafood)... As long as you drag it through the garden and put it on good bread, I'm good.

Of course, preference tends to chewy crusted soft bread, hopefully grilled... peppers, hot honey mustard, Southwest habenero or pepperjack cheese... with whatever... you can't hardly mess that up

Sorry, but the best sandwich is not to be easily found on this side of the Pond.  The Coronation Chicken Sandwich, a staple in the U.K. since it was devised to celebrate the coronation of the late Elizabeth II, is simply wonderful.  And the really amazing thing about sandwiches over there is whether on a train or at a supermarket, there are a tremendous variety of premade sandwiches that are genuinely good -- Coronation Chicken on soft onion bread, simply tops the list.  Here in the U.S. a premade sandwich is a thing to be devoutly avoided, not so in Britain.

Yes, we've saved a lot of money on meals while traveling by picking up sandwiches and beverages instead of going to restaurants.
