Tomato sandwiches are the best!!! No bacon, just fresh tomatoes.

Love the salt with tomatoes. But summer is best enjoyed through fresh tomatoes, isn't it?

You are absolutely right. The only other reason to eat white bread is grilled cheese, although that's good on sourdough bread, too. :-)))

Love love love sour dough grilled cheese!

I think I agree....although I like BLTs, I like just the tomatoes alone too, sliced on a plate with salt and pepper. I like a grilled cheese (cheddar) with sliced tomatoes inside....of course cheese on both sides of the tomato so it doesn't slip out. ;0)

Love grilled cheese with thin sliced Vidalia onion on it and a bit of mayo!

Sorry tomato, not on my grilled cheese!

Love caprese....crusty bread, olive oil, fresh chopped basil, fresh mozzarella and tomato...just a little bit of heaven on earth.

I'm not sure if good NorCal sourdough counts as white bread, I don't otherwise ever eat white bread, unless the very rare hamburger or hot dog bun counts.

An avocado sandwich on good bread, closed or open face, is good year round. It's the same as avocado toast, but I prefer a little mayo to olive oil.

I bought a loaf of Sesame Seed Italian bread today and instead of getting the whole turkey dinner at the deli, I just got some turkey. Came home and had a turkey sandwich slathered with salad dressing. So good! Love that bread ( I don't buy it often) and it is great toasted, especially with salad dressing and tomato.

I had a grilled cheese sandwich tonight after spending the afternoon in emerg with my mom - she fell, 5 stitches in her forehead, she'll be fine but I needed comfort food.

Country grain bread, sliced plum tomatoes, swiss cheese and smoke gruyere cheese. mmmm.

I have a toasted sandwich most mornings with Country grain bread, swiss cheese and sliced avocado. The fact that I had two sandwiches today is very rare.

I haven't had white bread, unless sourdough counts, in years.

I have to add one, fried baloney sandwich. It has to be on white bread, mayo and mustard, American cheese. Fried crisp. I cut a release slit from the outside to the center to prevent the dreaded bubble in the middle. Makes the baloney look like PacMan.

How funny I am planning Labor Day Menus and woke to the thought BLTs!! I will buy the richest wheat bread I can find..but yes Turkey sandwiches is probably the only other time I buy bread any more!! Tomato and cottage cheese will be my go to lunch for all of September!! Tonight we will have round 2 of Gazpacho "my garden in a soup" I call it!!!

Once or twice a year, I buy a loaf of the cheapest white bread to make French Toast. French toast is an egg sandwich, no?

Anyway, it has to be that cheap bread because designer white bread just doesn't taste 'right', totally soaked in beaten egg, a splash of milk, vanilla & cinnamon. Cooked in butter & oil.

Gluten seems to be a trigger causing the psoriasis on my palms to flare so I mostly avoid it. But I sure miss summertime BTA's (bacon, tomato, avocado--no lettuce!)

We're on low carb which means NO bread! Most "sandwiches" I can eat sans bread EXCEPT BLT's, Thanksgiving turkey and Reubens! They all really need bread IMO!

As others have mentioned, grilled cheese. I also love making bruschetta with the garden tomatoes with my regular home-made bread, sliced thick.

I still make my own bread, not as often, but I haven't purchased bread in years and years.

Sandwiches are a staple food item in my life :-) BAT's (sub avocado for the lettuce), grilled cheese, tuna, leftover turkey or meatloaf. Or steak!! Or a roasted veg panini. But always on sourdough, which is about the only bread I eat. Seattle has a pretty thriving sourdough tradition as well :-)

I sometimes will purchase a loaf of deli rye at corned beef time and stash the leftover loaf in the freezer for when I get an urge for making a patty melt. I can't even remember when I last ate white bread......it sounds very plain and boring and unappetizing. Guess that must be where that expression comes from !!

Nothing like a good PB and Jelly sandwich, I love them.

Yes to what Gardengal said!

BLT's are one of my favorite childhood memories. About once a year in the summer when the tomatoes were in, my mom would buy white bread. (she was whole wheat before it was a big thing) She'd toast up the whole loaf, fry up probably a pound of bacon, slice the best tomatoes from the farmer's markets, and YUM. The best dinner of the summer. Except for the day we'd have strawberry shortcake for dinner. That was an awesome one too!

Thanks for making me think of this today. I know what we're having for dinner tonight! :)

I sure do miss reveling in fresh tomato sandwiches in August (although, I used a good whole grain bread) - mayo, salt & pepper only -- but eating more than one causes my arthritis to flare too much.

I shouldn't read this on an empty stomach. It all sounds quite delicious.

I made a loaf of wild rice/cranberry bread this week and it was so good....I use the bread machine but bake it in the oven. Now I think I'll have to try it with the BLT mixture.

Guess what I just finished eating?? :-D

I tried to think of sandwiches tied to specific seasons. As mentioned BLT's in summer, Thanksgiving leftover turkey (plus cranberry sauce to make it extra delicious) in November. Does Muffaletta in February count? I see them mostly at that time of year, probably because the sandwich is associated with New Orleans and New Orleans is associated with Mardi Gras. But maybe I just don't look for them other times, I don't know.

I associate a plain grilled cheese with tomato soup for cold winter days. And PBJ's with the start of school.

A fried bologna sandwich......mmmmm....now that is something I haven't had in ages. Guess it's to the market I'll be a-goin'.

When I make a sandwich I use the Flat Out breads.

But, my favorite would be BLT, mayo on Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse white bread.

A grilled cheese with bacon or ham makes a wonderful breakfast!! Or just bacon on toasted sourdough......one of my favorites.

Sorry but I just can't get my head around bologna at all :-) Mystery meat..........

Just had my tomato sandwich on sourdough with mayo, lettuce and arugula. Dinner tonight is a fried bologna with cucumber slices. I noticed a nice diva cucumber on the vine this morning.

A great winter afternoon with neighbors? Invite them over for tomato soup, (Barefoot Contessa's recipe is easy and quick) and grilled cheese. They love it, the kids love it and it shakes off the winter blues!

I only have 1 sandwich a week. I try to stay away from carbs and gluten. I like most of the sandwiches listed, especially BLT's. I also like egg or tuna salad or fried egg with ketchup. Avocado with garden ripe tomatoes and sprouts is one of our favorites. The only white bread we eat is sourdough or freshly baked homemade French bread.

Love love love grilled cheese on rye. Had that yesterday with slices of right off the vine ripe tomatoes instead of chips.

For the bologna people...i have been trying to post a link to Alan Jackson's song on YouTube " I Still Like Bologna" but it's the wrong link when it's posted. A nice song if your interested in listening to it.

I haven't had bread in a while. Low carbing. But when I do eat it, I only like white or brioche. Any sort of wheat or whole grain bread tastes like dirt to me,and are not worth cheating on my diet for.

And I love making homemade heart shaped white bread. Best bread ever. Or so I am told....

Ci_lantro, try challah bread for your French toast. We learned this a couple of years ago, it makes great French toast! We do it for Christmas (is it weird to have challah for Christmas?)

I love rye bread with cheese melted on top. If I could have a white bread sandwich I would have a grilled cheese with onion tomato and mayonnaise. I just love.the creamy mayonnaisey melty cheese flavour. I won't even spoil it for myself while I'm fantasizing about it by saying that I can't eat the white bread or mayonnaise... Sigh... my taste buds even remember the first time I had a grilled cheese with mayonnaise.

Glad your mother will be okay blfenton. These falls can turn very nasty very quickly.
