Salami. I'm tempted to say all three but ... no.
I picked GAH! cuz I couldn't choose! They all sound so good!! *cries and runs to get sandwiches* All better
I picked Ham, and today I think I'll dress it up with thinly-sliced Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard, a sprinkling of capers and 2 leaves of fresh, crisp lettuce, on ... hmm ... I think sourdough French bread is the bread o' the day. Yummmmm ... .
Oh and let's not forget the 20 oz. glass of milk to wash it down, and an entire triangular bar of Toblerone White Chocolate for dessert. Double Yummmm !
And you know, that chocolate was so good that I think I'll raid the icebox for that stash of Godiva White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream. Yummmola !!
Brrr ... now I've got the chills so maybe a home-brewed cappucino or three.
Oh man ... now I'm wired so I guess it's time for some TW ... see ya!

Chicken and smoked meat together. Fantastic!

GAH! I want all three on a sandwitch, along with turkey, roast beef, american cheese, canadian bacon, regular bacon, lettuce, horseradish sauce (or mayo), and maybe some garlic.

Gah! instead I'll have...
Thinly sliced turkey, sharp cheddar, ripe avocados, on italian bread...grilled in a skillet to perfection.
Rasberry iced tea to drink.
Turkey.

I'd go with SALAMI, ham would be a second choice. Don't fancy chickens though.
Back in my US days I'd often eat out at Subway - they have some best Salami sandwitches ever.... mniam...

Depends on where I am. In Italy, definitely a panino con salame or salame i pecorino and a caffè Americano. In the UK it would be chicked (or rather: turkey) with bacon, lettuce, mayonaise and a pint of Guinness to take care of the early afternoon blues. In France it would definitely be ham on 1/3 of a baguette with tomato, egg and mayonaise and a large cafe noir or two.Originally Posted by dessa14

, and the list goes on. Luckly, McDonalds serves the same crap regardless the country you're in (well, at least with their basic "meals") so you always "know" what you eat

Oh come on, McD isn't all crap and besides there's more to American food that McD, if only because the world's best traditions in food come together in New York and California. And American restaurants and bars have their own style, or lack of it, which can also be fun. I remember my first pastrami sandwich in a New York delicatessen. First thing the lady behind the counter did was take down my name. Not my order or table number, but my name to signify that I was someone, not just a sandwich and soda. She kept shouting to all her customers, workers, cops and civil servants alike. 'Ruzetsky, want ice in your soda? Mueller, come 'n get your pancakes. Adrian, how you want your sandwich? You want mustard? You want pickles?' The sandwich tasted great, I came back next day and before I could sit down the lady greeted me from the kitchen door: 'Heyhey, Adrian, have a seat. Same as yesterday?' I like that.Originally Posted by Hetman_Koronny

Been there, done that. I too enjoyed the american attitude towards guest/customers - it cannot be compared to other countries.
Yet, their food sux. And McDonalds is the essence of junk food, I am sorry but that's truth.
I failed finding anything special about restarants in america but 3 things:
- 7 dollar chinese buffet (junk I know yet with some great choice)
- 20 dollar buffet at that seafood restaurant somewhere in Washington (don't remember the name)
- Subway - I used to love that one.

Nope, that would be Dunkin' Donuts. Ever drank a thing called 'dunkacino', Hetman Koronny? The horror, the horror!... Anyway, I have fond memories of American seafood dinners, jumbalaya, Tex-Mex-burgers like you wouldn't believe, so you won't catch me generalizing.Originally Posted by Hetman_Koronny

Give me the small, ethnic family deli over any of the industrialized fast food factory 'restaurants' any day.
One of my favorites while working in New York City back in the early '80s was a Jewish deli named Greenbach's in Queens. Being on a low budget I used to eat my one meal there practically every day. Corned beef & swiss cheese with sauerkraut on fresh baked rye or Lebanon bologna & provalone with onion and lettuce, and a can of V8 tomato juice.![]()
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." *Jim Elliot*
Dont remember if it was Phillips or other name yet indeed it was that expensive and really good. At that time I wished I had been able to eat more, though with what I managed to stuff in my stomach I must have got my 20 bucks back
One thought on junk food, there is one place I really liked - TacoBell, haha, used to hate it but then somehow changed my mind. Perhaps becasue their junk is a bit different than elsewhere... I wish there was a Tacobell restaurant where I leave.
@Adrain
I am not sure but I might have not heard of Dunkin Donuts.

Lucky you. On the other hand you're a man, you can handle it. I had one (Hazelnut) in 2000 at Boston Airport and was sick on the plane all the way back to Paris. But hey, that's America, you get the best and the worst all in one package.Originally Posted by Hetman_Koronny
