Since August is National Sandwich month, it’s only natural that we’ve got sandwiches on our mind! What’s not to love? Sandwiches are simple, easy-to-make, can be enjoyed for breakfast-lunch-and-dinner, easy to take along, and are almost always DELICIOUS!
We recently asked a group of sandwich lovers on Facebook what they thought the secret to a great sandwich is. Some say it’s all about the bread, others claim it’s the cheese that makes or breaks the sandwich. However, nearly all of them agree it’s the special extras like peppers, sauces, spice and fresh veggies that take a sandwich from “good” to “amazing”. Here are some of the “secrets” shared with us- these are real comments posted by real people. Enjoy!
“The secret is in the extras! I chop up kalamata olives, cilantro, and peppers…mix with softened cream cheese and spread it on the bread before adding the meats and cheeses!”
“Sweet peppers, locally sourced aged cheddar, slow roasted turkey, homemade avocado-mayo, thinly sliced Vidalia onions on a fresh baked, lightly toasted French roll.”
“Toasted bread with goat cheese, peppers, onion, and meat .. With some sweet n sour dressing..”
“Toasted thick bread, good quality meats and Jeff’s Naturals Greek Pepperoncini!”
“Fresh natural ingredients are the key to adding flavor and color to an otherwise boring, bland sandwich. Extras like Jeff’s Naturals Sun-Ripened Dried Tomatoes, Olives, Jalapeños. Roasted Red Bell Peppers help boost your sandwich.”
“For me, a great sandwich has lots of fresh veggies and meats and Jeff’s naturals sliced up peperoncinis”
