Like many other food items, there are a set of standard sandwiches. Some standard sandwiches include hamburgers, reubens, club sandwiches, croque monsieur, and more. These are all delicious go-to’s, but people continue to push the boundaries of the sandwich. They add all sorts of ingredients to make strange combinations.
People have placed all sorts of ingredients in between bread. People experiment with flavor combinations, textures, and flavors. There’s no perfect sandwich because sandwiches are personal. A sandwich cannot be called weird until someone has tasted them. For me, I like to use sandwiches as my medium for using up the leftovers in my fridge.
One day, I randomly decided to make a chicken in waffles grilled cheese sandwich; yes, chicken in waffles, not chicken ‘n waffles. I cut up pieces of chicken and cooked them into the batter. This all stemmed from me accidentally sleeping in and missing the family breakfast. Because there were leftovers in the fridge, I came up with this concoction.
I made the chicken-filled waffle, then sprinkled cheddar cheese onto it, and folded the waffle in half so the cheese would melt. I took three foods that are generally tasty on their own and combined them into my favorite concoction ever! I swear by my chicken in waffle grilled cheese sandwiches.
Sometimes when I have chips, I put the chips on a cold-cut sandwich. The chip flavor doesn’t really matter, but I prefer a regular potato chip. The key to the sandwich is eating the sandwich quickly before the sandwich becomes soggy due to the condensation from the lunch meat.
When scrolling through Instagram randomly, I came across a donut burger.
I had to try and recreate it myself, so I bought a glazed donut, cut it in half, and put a burger patty on it. Who would’ve thought the sweetness of the donuts would go well with a piece of beef? I was shocked, but I found the meal to be delicious.
My sandwiches are unique, but they aren’t that exotic. They combine flavors that aren’t too drastically different. I have also utilized the internet as a resource for sandwich ideas. However, I have found some very unique combinations such as peanut butter and pickles, kimchi grilled cheese, and ham and Nutella. It’s interesting how many people are willing to try out a strange sandwich. How brave are you? What weird sandwiches have you created or tasted?
