.:.impossible Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Some odd choices. RI is either a roast beef sandwich (there are roast beef sandwich joints everywhere) or a lobster roll. Virginia is the Cuban? I'd go with a Club, a Sailor, or Stuffy's VIRGINIAN! They got NC right, though Charlotte? And slaw on the side? It goes on the sandwich folks.

Blue Train Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) A lot of those are really regional for that state, or make no sense. How doesn't the Philly steak not make the cut for PA? Some odd choices. RI is either a roast beef sandwich (there are roast beef sandwich joints everywhere) or a lobster roll. Virginia is the Cuban?

A Lark Ascending Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Amazed by this...the Michigan pasty. While this one's more of a calzone than a traditional sandwich, it’s still meat and cheese surrounded by bread, so we’ll say it counts. A small influx of Finnish immigrants followed the Cornish miners into the upper peninsula of Michigan, and this sandwich became a tradition for miners in the area to eat. The Pasty Oven in Quinnesec is about as far north into that peninsula as you can go, and they create several types daily. Their traditional pasty is filled with beef, pork, onion and potato, all wrapped up in a buttery crust. Would never classify as a sandwich in Cornwall. But I love they idea of the Finnish-Cornish culinary interaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these sandwiches sound terrible. Agreed ALA, a pastry is not a sandwich, and I am of the mind that a burger is a burger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Train Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) When anyone thinks of NY.....does anyone even think of Beef on Weck...how many even in NY heard of it? First thing anyone from NY thinks of is either Pastrami, or Corned Beef. You can get into battle royales over them.

And the author of that article apparently needs a geography lesson. Quinnesec is nowhere near as far north as you can go, it's at least 160 miles to Copper Harbor, Michigan.

mr jazz Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Sorry, the MD sandwich is not lake trout but CRAB! Or rather, a crabcake sandwich. Edited October 21, 2013 by mr jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Train Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Sorry, the MD sandwich is not lake trout but CRAB! Or rather, a crabcake sandwich. I know a lot of people like the lake trout but you can't think of MD and not think of something with crab. Didn't they make one of the crab sandwiches the state sandwich?

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well, I detected 3 real sarnies - Colorado, Oregon & S Carolina - & 4 toasties - Mississippi, Minneapolis, S Dakota & Wyoming. Most of the rest were baps, cobs, baguettes or rolls (or a pasty ) The S Carolina BLT seemed OK, if there wasn't anything else to eat. American slow food is some of the best stuff I've ever eaten, but that lot.... groo! MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
