Reading terminal market in Philly has the best cheesesteaks, but honestly Philly is full of good spots. Don't get Pat's or Geno's, or any cheesesteak with cheese wiz. That shit is for tourist. It's gotta have white cheese like provolone or American, it mixes with the steak juices and makes it's own sort of sauce. Peppers, onions, and maybe mushrooms are the only vegetables that should be seen near a cheesesteak.

I really miss the baguettes in Paris anon, and European bread in general. I've said for a long time the best "artisanal" bread we have here in the states is like the worst bread you guys have over there. I have to go to a specialty Italian deli over here just to get something similar to a bullshit sandwich from the airport over in Europe. Have a baguette for me bro
I only had "banh mi op la"s (egg) in Vietnam since those were the only ones I spotted on the streets when I was there, but the general feel is that their bread is a bit lighter in crumb and they don't put as much filling as the Vietnamese American ones.
I forgot to mention, the sandwiches were good though. Quite tasty for something so simple. Makes me lament I didn't get a chance to try other fillings.
Yeah. There is a big difference even in the city and difference between cities. You might as well say that about any food. There is a place in Saigon that was absolutely great, loaded up on pate, which I actually haven't found at places around me so that's a difference.
Vietnam and to a lesser extent Laos and Cambodia win for me—I am a believer in the postcolonial Indochinese baguette sandwich. I also enjoy various things on toast in Malaysia, but that’s a more local flavor palette, usually sweet, and deeply Asian baked goods are mostly an acquired taste.
In Europe I get whatever bread looks freshest/most appealing at the bakery, some stuff to put on it from local market or deli or butcher or cheesemonger, and make a lot of my own sandwiches. Very rarely disappointed when I do this, but I like cheese more than is probably good for me.
Porto, Portugal’s famous francesinha is to my taste kind of sloppy and disgusting, but it’s unique and filling and has its devotees. I also give most sandwiches in Latin America a miss but know people who are obsessed with things on bread from countries including Colombia and Ecuador.
Turkey (the country, not the edible bird, which I usually find bland and dry) is surprisingly good for bread and baked goods, as well.
Classic midwit choice. Most overrated sandwich in modern memory. Shitty bread roll filled with mystery meat.
All’Antico Vinaio in florence
Burger here
Ate at All'antico last week; had the panini with cured tuscan ham fat as the main ingredient.
Jesus, what a country
Would also second Katz's, but I'd imagine most gnomish delis are going to do a pastrami sandwich right
The sandwich shop next door
called La Schiacciata has much better food with less lines because All'Antico Vinaio is "famous" on western brainlet social media so there's always a 200 metre long line up.
The real answer for Florence is the Lampredotto. Mogs every other sandwich in existence.
I shat myself after eating three lamprodotto in one day. Just a little greasy liquid fart.
Nardelli's in Waterbury, Connecticut
Paesano's in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Sammich in Ashland, Oregon
General Store in Saxapahaw, NC
Holiday market in Duisburg, Germany
Kebab in Cologne, Germany
Born and raised in Waterbury and I've never been to Nardelli's. One of my best friends used to work there in high school too.
Do you remember what you ordered there? I'll try it sometime.
Avventura was great before they closed but way too expensive for a grinder.
I know it’s a “tourist trap” but the pastrami on rye from Katz’s Deli is so fuckin good. There’s a reason it’s so popular.
Not much else could beat a chopped cheese or bacon egg n chee from any bodega as well. Best cure for a hangover.
I don't know. I feel like things like corned beef or pastrami look good but when it's just a giant fucking slab of meat and some bread it usually tastes extremely bland
Half the bakers are Viet the other half are Italian, with a few others thrown in. You can get a great crusty Italian meat and cheese, or a great Viet head cheese and chilli, or pretty much anything inbetween. One down the road from me does Turkish bread egg ham and pickles. Amazing stuff.
And this is at least a few shops every suburb. It's not like some places where "I heard about this great sandwich place" it's just the standard.
Spain, Portugal & Tenerife
Nothing will top getting up early, going to the local bakery or supermercado and buying 12 bread rolls / crusty baps and a load of ham / cured meats.
Costs less than €5 for everythinig plus some lovely orange juice and you can eat them on your balcony
Holiday crisps just hit differently.
I agree, Jamon are incredible.
>Jamon Ruffles

In Croatia they have prosciutto flavored chips too and they surprised me with how good they were. I'll have to try the jamon ones if I can but check that shit out if you go to HR
Seriously. They gave me a roll with a few slices of meat and some light tomato spread and some freshly squeeze orange juice. Such a simple meal felt so damned good.
If I had time, I definitely would have gone back multiple times. I was recommended to go there by a couple I met in Napoli. I wish I had ate there right went I arrived instead of when I was leaving.

I have family from Ecuador and never thought anything about their sandwiches. They have so much other great food that I would never really think of them as a sandwich place tbh. I'm curious as to what great sandwiches you ate there, please elaborate.
Also, oddly enough given your post, I used to date a Turkish girl (American btw) and she was telling me back then that Turkey apparently has the highest consumption for bread per capita in the world. Idk if that's still true but their bread smit is pretty great
Incorrect UK leads the world in sausages and cider (and arguably the weird British take on curry buy if doesn't seem to exist anywhere else so that's more by default). Shit at everything else though.
Best sandwich I ever had was in reading terminal market in philly. Can't remember the actual name of the place but I remember it was made up of various meats.
Chivito canadiense in Montevideo, uruguay (pic related). Shout out to choripan and morcipan.
Triangulo in bilbao, Spain
Chicharron con pan in peru
Used to get independent cafes around British rail stations where they'd do sausage, bacon and egg baguettes. Simple but nice as fuck and on days out they were a great treat.
Almost all gradually closed in favour of coffee shops and chain food places.
Bump. All I've ever eaten were subway sandwiches. Definitely want to know the best place for Philadelphia steak sandwich

Banh Mi - Saigon
is there a difference between a banh mi bought in saigon and a banh mi bought from my local Pho place?
i highly doubt it
I only had "banh mi op la"s (egg) in Vietnam since those were the only ones I spotted on the streets when I was there, but the general feel is that their bread is a bit lighter in crumb and they don't put as much filling as the Vietnamese American ones.

now this the true midwit take.
Italy and Spain.
I was in Georgia and went to this sandwich shop and they had really good sandwiches.
The ones my mother makes in Spain with good local ingredients.
Honorable mention goes to France. They do make pretty good sandwiches.
In no particular order:

The Reuben mogs Pastrami on Rye
i really hate garden gnomes but their delis have amazing sandwiches.
Yeah
Who wants a sandwich with 3 inches of pastrami? Nasty
Kys meatlet
I don't know. I feel like things like corned beef or pastrami look good but when it's just a giant fucking slab of meat and some bread it usually tastes extremely bland
It’s smoked, salted, Hispaniced fatty meat. You retarded or something ?
Fag.
Montreal - smoked meat at the Main
Buffalo - Beef on Weck
True. I went to place called BAGELSTEIN in Paris and the pastrami bagels were unreal.
~~*bagelstein*~~
Right here at my place, because I make the best sandwiches I've ever eaten.

Philadelphia is a cesspool of human misery, but the meme about the cheese steak sandwiches is 100 percent true. The good places are fucking godlike.
Also, a good Maryland Crabcake sandwiches is pretty much the best sandwich on earth.
Yeah, Philly is a fucking dog shit warzone but god damn do those fat fucking guineas know how to slap some meat, cheese, and peppers in a roll.
>cheese steak sandwiches is 100 percent true

Had to skip All'Antico due to time, got a sandwich here tho and was great.

I fucking love generic corner store deli hoagies. Never had a bad one, because even a bad one is good.
I had a really really good banh mi in Melbourne 3 years ago and I still think about it to this day.
In a pub in East Yorkshire
Roast beef, fried onions, horseradish sauce and beef gravy
All washed down with a pint of Black Sheep ale

NYC
Italy by far, then Spain and Portugal,
Zwevezele, near Brugges
Fresh baguette and sandwich fillings from an Italian grocery store. It was so good that I ate two loaves a day for a week.
I make some pretty mean sandwiches myself, whenever I have the produce and meats that makes good sandwiches.
Apart from that I'm going to say France. The French know both pastry and food. I had excellent food while in France, even though the rest sucked.
Probably Mcdonalds
Philly cheese steaks are better than all cuisine in the UK put together
i like Oink pulled pork sandwiches in edinburgh
