I disagree

Remove the tomato, add sharp cheddar

>>17026869
>just black pepper, no salt
And toasted white bread might be fine in a pinch but you could do so much better

That doesn't look like white bread. What are you trying to pull?

>>17026883
remove the bread, add tomato

>>17026892
>What are you trying to pull?
this:

*pull down grandma's panties*

Mayonnaise doesnt belong on anything. It is disgusting.

Sandwiches are best dry. Cold cuts need to be padded down, no condiments, lettuce should be crisped. Cheese should be whole.

>>17026894
What if we made bread out of mayo

>>17026869
add a slice of aged cheddar, grill it, and it’s perfect

>>17026893
We don't actually cook here. We just repost pics we saved from facebook

>>17026906
fuck you

>>17026918
I'm just spitballin here I'm an ideas guy c'mon

>>17026908
ok Gordon.

>>17026893
I couldn't find the picture I wanted and didn't want to spend 10 mins googling and I didn't want to go buy sliced bread to make it myself for a photo

>>17026869
It is.

>>17026906
You jest, but 4 ingredient no-yeast mayonnaise bread is a real thing

>>17026942
I'm too much of a tastelet to know what to do with that

>>17026904
people like you need to be beaten until death.

>>17026869
Ok, Harriet. Don’t you have some fat women to spy on?

>>17026959
Seethe, wetnigger, you will never be a real woman.

Add a handful of potato chips then we'll talk

this is just a caprese sandwich made for a retard by a retard

>>17026904
>Sandwiches are best dry
Who hurt you?

>>17026869
That does look good, but thats not white bread.

I don't favor soggy sandwiches

>>17027041
What a fucking cringe post

>>17026869
sounds boring and soggy. one of the best sandwiches I've had was ham, chicken, tomato and mustard

>>17026959
shut up queer

>>17027382
No one asked
>>17027065
Your mom, she peed on the sandwich she got out of bed to make me.

>>17027411
I asked who hurt you, not who gave you an undeserved gift.

>>17026869
Op speaks truth, but is slightly misguided.

The perfect sandwich is fresh, thick slices of vine ripened heirloom tomatoes, a good slather of mayo on toasted white bread or sourdough. Pepper may be acceptable, but is not necessary. Salt has no place on this sandwich. It also must be served open faced.

I can tell a lot of people haven't had this delicacy and are talking out their asses.

>>17026869
The best part of the BLT is the mayo mixing with the tomato juices. Also salt your tomatoes you absolute philistine.

>>17027460
The salt only detracts from the sandwich. Try it out. You'll see. The mayo and bread has enough salt already.

>>17027466
It is important the salt makes contact with the tomato to enhance the flavor. If you're concerned about general sodium level of the dish then don't use commercial mayo.

>>17027476
Maybe it's just me, but I found that adding salt to the tomatoes made the sandwich worse.

Adding anything except tomato and mayo to toasted white bread or sourdough ends up taking away from what makes the sandwich so excellent.

>>17027498
>what makes the sandwich so excellent.
Which is?

>>17027502
It's a little hard to explain to someone who hasn't had the sandwich.

There's a unique flavor to the sandwich when made correctly. The tomato and mayo combines to make this super savory, tangy, rich flavor. And then the crunch of the bread kinda wraps it all up.

>>17026869
tomatoes have to be high quality to enjoy them on their own.

>>17027534
I'm just saying the ways to improve this sandwich is toast the bread in a fat and salt the maters. Toasting the sandwich takes significantly more time than just adding a pinch of coarse sea salt and letting the salt sweat the tomato so if you're in a rush or just particularly lazy I can see how that could get omitted but you sprinkled black pepper on it which means you probably moved your hand past the salt shaker to put pepper on. Poor show.

>>17026869
t.Patera Silk

>>17027563
Im not OP.

Ways you think will improve it or ways you have improved it?

>>17026869
I don't want the bread toasted and you have to have salt and mayo.

>>17027382
I mean, he’s right. You really will never be a woman. Sorry you had to find out this way bro.

>>17027573
>ways you have improved it?
Would you like me to make two sandwiches? It wouldn't take particularly long.

>>17027582
Yes. Post pics as well please.

>>17027593
On it bossman. Keep the thread alive.

>>17027581
Wtf are you talking about?

>>17026957
I don't know either, it looks more like a cake "bread" like banana bread or a carrot loaf or something

>>17027062
I've never had it with potato chips in it, wouldn't that take away from the magic when the wet tomato soggies up the toast a bit?

>>17027386
arguably the best sandwich I ever had was the one I'd eat when I was a baker. I toasted an onion bagel until it was dark, and then added ham and cheese, that's it. It was so amazingly good. So much perfect flavor.

I like tomato a lot but that sounds unappetizing. Tomato is great as a condiment, or an ingredient, but as the main 'dish' it isn't.

>>17027460
>Also salt your tomatoes you absolute philistine.
Not in a tomato sandwich, black pepper is the only spice needed

>>17026869
I used to do this when I was extremely poorfag and wanted to eat food that wouldn't kill me. It is in fact, a based sandwich.

>>17027563
I'm OP, in many ways, but also in this thread. I took this picture from google. You don't put salt on this type of sandwich, and the black pepper enhances both the tomato and the sogginess of the toasted bread.

>>17027627
Wrong. Try it with thickly sliced beefsteak tomatoes.

>>17027600
You. Put the makeup gun down and back away slowly. Ywnbaw

>>17026869
Mostly correct, but of course it should be open-faced, have mayo, and have salt.

>>17027639
No, of course you need salt. It's good with decent cheese as well.

>>17027676
I've never had it with salt, and I grew up with the mantra salt potatoes, pepper tomatoes

>>17027630
That is absolutely wrong. Salt compliments the tomato perfectly and brings out its best taste.

>>17027680
salt takes away from the natural flavors.

>>17027684
Pepper is excellent with potatoes just like salt is excellent with tomatoes.

>>17027688
sorry my melaninated friend, but sodium like that messes with the flavor profile of the sandwich.

>>17027696
>Pepper is excellent with potatoes
Of course, I'm talking eating raw though
just like salt is excellent with tomatoes.
Not eating raw

>>17026869
anyone eating mayo has no business judging anyone else

>>17027706
Don't worry, Frito or somebody will bring FLAMIN' HOT® mayonnaise to your hood someday then you'll be able to taste it.

>>17027692
Salt enhances the flavors.

>>17027706
Good thing I eat miracle whip or an off brand equivalent

>>17027675
Get some fucking help. Retard

>>17027714
>thinking that you can talk to anyone about food as an American
heh

>>17027599
Brother, how's the science going? We need you to show that salt is not needed for the tomato mayo sandwich.

>>17026869
one afternoon i made like six tomato and avocado sandwhiches on this really grainy bread they were so fucking good i couldnt even get to my room id just scarf them over the sink. tried to make one the next day and it tasted like dick never again

>>17027758
mayo isn't a brand retard it's a mental disaease

First a fat.

Fat goes on griddle on medium heat. Oh yeah i have a pass so this will go quick.

Our tomato. I need to use this anyways.

>>17027824
>lactose free
>organic
Yeah, nah, you're a cunt

>>17027424
i have to stop you right there the perfect sandwhich is white bread pepperoni mortadella salami proscuito lettuce onions giardinera mayo mustard other slice of white bread in that fucking order

Washed and ready.

Ghee is ready for my brioche.

While the bun is toasting I slice the tomato thin.

>>17027548
high quality maybe, not frozen definitely

Pinch of smoked kosher salt to each side of half the tomatos.

Salted.

>>17027828
A perfect sandwich can take many forms my based sandwich appreciating brother.

Brioche is toasted by now.

>>17027563
salted mater+mayo= goop sandwhich

>>17027717
not in this case, in this case is skews the natural flavor profile, kind of washes it out

Now to make mayo.

Egg yolk and half a lemon.

>>17027823
lmao nice self-own, esl victim

Mix in a neutral oil until thick. I didn't have a neutral oil so it was either olive or peanut so I opted for olive oil. Pinch of salt to the mayo for flavor.

Mayo on the breads.

>>17027824
lactose is some of the best -ose though

>>17027848
I would not be eating this with brioche. Bread in OP is perfect.

Our verdict: the OP sandwich is bland and tastes like commercial mayo with a weak white bread soft texture. Can't even taste the pepper. The toasted and salted sandwich is a night and day difference. With salt on the tomatoes and letting them sweat instead of tasting like mayo the mayo, smoke, salt, fat and brioche richness come together to put the tomato first and frontmost in the flavor. It's just simply a better sandwich in every way.

>>17027676
open faced would make me feel poorer

>>17027864
When they make ghee they just separate out all the lactose and proteins out of the butter and it takes most everything except the high smoke point fat and cooked it down.

>>17027696
i dont think this is a rule that guides us

>>17027866
admirable effort and a decent looking sandwich salt aside, nut it's not correct. Maybe I'll drop some pictures of the real way to make it in a little bit, but I'll need some proper bread.

>>17027866
Test invalid. Needs to be open faced. Tomato slices too thin also and not beefsteak tomato.

>>17027893
>not beefsteak tomato.
Might as well toss the bread in a cup of water.

>>17027873
Too much bread, and you can't just compensate with more tomato because it would become a soggy mess.
>>17027850
It's okay without salt, but better with it.

>>17027893
He didn't even toast the bread, let alone toast it properly

>>17027896
So many people chiming in without ever trying a properly made tomato mayo sandwich.

>>17027893
But beefsteak tomato is completely flavourless because it was made to be as big as possible as a joke?

>>17027908
Not if you add salt.

>>17027902
>It's okay without salt, but better with it.
You don't think that the sodium flavor on the tongue overpowers things? It makes the acidity of the tomatoes slightly more acrid(?) and it changes the way you taste the pepper.

>>17027856
tranny victim

>>17027908
This is incorrect. There are plenty of beefsteak varietals that have lots of flavor. Typically flavorless tomatoes are a result of overwatering.

>>17026904
how much do you slobber and how big of a lisp do you have from all that saliva? fuckin dry sandwiches. give me mustard, butter, mayo, hot sauce, cream cheese, olive oil, HP, bbq, fuck it even ketchup though i dont like it - sauce is the boss.

>>17027917
I've never been the victim of a transsexual or a transvestite, but you've been the victim of an english-teaching redditor hah!

>>17027922
>Typically flavorless tomatoes are a result of overwatering.
And places like wal-mart and safeway buying from suppliers who harvest them 2/3 ripe and artificially ripen them during transport and at the store.

>>17027866
notice, however, that in the sandwhich on the left the tomatoes are veritably cascading out of the bread which is not long enough to hold them, meaning anon's shitty substitution of brioche was a shoot himself in the dick move when he couldnt help but have an extra little snack of deeelectable wonder bread!

>>17027941
Do you think I'm incapable of feeding myself somehow? Give me a little credit. I just made mayo for you.

>>17027941
>deeelectable wonder bread!
you don't use wonderbread, you use sliced white bread from the local bakery like a white person

>>17027944
As OP I appreciate the work you have put into your shitposts tonight. I have to go to the store anyway, maybe I'll get some bread and show you how the perfect one is made

>>17027922
yeah and a huge fucking wooden knot of tomato cum in the middle thats disgusting

>>17027944
i tell my brother to make mayo with me all the time and he just does the jack off motion and says he already know how to make mayo. lookin forward to some sensible chuckles over thxgiving this year

>>17027974
Gulp. Have you tasted your bro's "mayo"?

where do you anons find these tomatoes without that annoying stemy mid section

>>17026869
I agree. Tomato and mayo is all you need to live.

don't buy tomatoes from walmart or a big grocery chain

I've been craving a tomato sandwich. But, I don't have anymore fresh tomatoes. Store bought are absolute garbage the past 5 years or so. There's really nothing quite like a good tomato sandwich.

>>17026869
>surprisingly
>surprisingly
You're the tastelet.

>>17028179
go to the farmer's market
don't buy walmart or grocery store produce unless you want something picked 2/3 ripe and then artificially 'ripened' in-store.

>>17028252
I used that qualifier word for emphasis in case a reader has never tried it, are you even a native english speaker? lmao wtf

No, but coasties like to masturbatorily fantasize that they do.

>>17026906

also needs some balsamic vinegar

>>17030742
You've never had a proper tomato mayo sandwich.

>>17030767
at least you slice your tomato to the proper thickness, hate when people cut giant slabs

>>17030742
lmao that fork though
do europeons really?

>>17030803
>at least you slice your tomato to the proper thickness, hate when people cut giant slabs
that's terrible when they're cut like that, especially when they use cheap woody tomatoes, you're not supposed to have to slice through it with your teeth beaver style.
