Classic Sandwiches

Sandwiches are a popular lunch or snack food around the world. They are made by placing a filling, which may contain salad, vegetables, cheese, meat, or seafood, or some combination of these, between two or more slices of bread. Sliced bread, baguettes, bread rolls, or even muffins or bagels can be used to make the sandwich, and in many cases, the bread is toasted - indeed some types of sandwiches have hot fillings too.

Some of the most popular types of sandwich include:

Bread Maker

* Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches - An all time kids' favorite, although of course rather too sweet for many adults' tastes.

* Club sandwich - A triple bread toasted sandwich containing chicken or turkey breast meat between two of the slices of toast, and a bacon, lettuce and tomato filling between the other two layers of toast.

* Tuna melt sandwich - A hot sandwich containing prepared cooked tuna (from a can), cheese, hard-boiled egg, mayonnaise and grated cheese. It can be served on bread or English muffins.

* Bacon sandwiches - Sandwiches containing bacon, often known in the United Kingdom as "bacon butties". Variations on the basic theme, including the possible addition of fried egg (an "egg and bacon sandwich"), or mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato (a "BLT sandwich").

* Meat sandwiches - Sandwiches containing ham, baloney, cooked sausages, and so forth. In some such sandwiches, other ingredients are included as well, for example a "cheese and ham sandwich".

* Cheese sandwiches - Sandwiches containing cheese. Again there are many variations on the basic theme, such as adding onions, salad, or pickle relish (in the United Kingdom, Branston brand pickle is often used).

* Cucumber sandwiches - The classic Victorian English sandwich. Thin slices of cucumber between slices of buttered white bread.
