<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
Perhaps there’s a bigger chance for you to eat the unhealthy types of sandwiches when it’s served in fast food restaurants or sandwich stalls where you do not have full control of what goes into your sandwich. These establishments have their own recipes which produce the most awesome sandwich but does not guard against the bad stuff (i.e. fat and sodium).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
Concessions can be made though, like asking to skip the mayonnaise and butter, use whole wheat bread, or take out the extra patty. But that will not always be the case all the time. Remember also that these fast food restaurants, where we can easily get our sandwiches, offer larger, super-stuffed sandwiches that may be tempting even to the healthy eater.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
So when in doubt, make your own sandwiches at home and be more aware of what you put into it. Sandwich and health go together especially if your daily meals and diet consist of sandwiches for lunch, snack or dinner. Select more vegetables, leaner versions of meat, and lower fat or calorie versions of the spreads and garnishes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
Perhaps the easiest way to begin building a healthier sandwich is in your selection of the bread. When you can, get the whole wheat or multi-grain breads instead of the usual white breads. Reduce the size of the bread (or share that large submarine sandwich). Go for more flavor than size — aioli, pesto, mustard, herbs and spices can offer more of these than piling on the meat, butter and mayo.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
Eat pastrami, bologna, and processed meat sandwiches occasionally since they have more sodium, fat and calories per serving. Make sandwich and health synonymous by being more aware of what goes into each sandwich.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
You can also select low fat cheese, mayonnaise and yogurt or substitute a lower version for one of the cheeses. Examples of healthy sandwiches include the tuna sandwich (but skip the mayo and just pile on the tuna with a squeeze of lemon), white bean and mozzarella panini, turkey meatball submarine sandwich, Greek salad pita sandwich, grilled portobello and goat cheese panini, and roast beef sandwich.</div>

The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a favorite lunch box staple. The peanut butter — chunky or super smooth and thick — offers its saltiness to pair well with fruit jelly (strawberry is a favorite). This sandwich, also known as PB&J, can be eaten as is or lightly toasted.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is as all-American as the hamburger and hotdog sandwiches. Of course its history is rooted on the convergence of its ingredients’ inventions — the peanut butter in a jar, the sweet jelly, and the pre-sliced white bread. As soon as all three are available, the fun with this popular sandwich begins.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
A bit of a background from The Nibble online magazine for specialty food: “Peanut butter was invented in 1890, but wasn’t marketed broadly until 1922, when a new churning process achieved stability and longer shelf life (see the history of peanut butter).”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The making of the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwiches rely heavily on the peanut butter. So buy the best jar of peanut butter you can afford. Select whether you want a creamy, smooth peanut butter or something with more texture, like coarse chopped peanuts stirred into the mix.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
Next is to determine what kind of jelly you like for the day. It can be grape jelly which counters the richness of peanut butter with its tangy sweet flavor. For variations of this classic popular sandwich, you can add banana to the peanut butter or use fruit preserves, marmalades, and jellies.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is an all-American classic and it remains in their domain since this popular sandwich is not on the list of the British Sandwich Association. The list features mostly savory sandwiches.</div>

Lobster Roll

Not to mention the chunks of succulent lobster meat in every bite. It’s no wonder then that their origin is closely related to how the lobster is usually sourced — through its abundance in the coastal areas.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The lobster roll is a popular sandwich in Maine, New England although places in the Untied States like Washington, D.C. and New York offer these sandwiches day in and day out. According to The Nibble specialty foods online magazine, the lobster roll “typically contains lobster salad — the cooked meat of a lobster tossed with mayonnaise, diced celery and scallions — served on a grilled frankfurter-type roll with the opening on the side rather than at the top.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The recipe may vary from region to region, chef to chef, eatery to restaurant. But at the center of it all would be fresh, boiled lobster meat. Boil the lobster until they turn bright red and discard the shell covering to reveal the meat inside you could chop for the lobster roll.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
To assemble a lobster roll, use a plain hotdog bun, top split brioche roll, hamburger bun, or a special New England roll. Make sure to butter the bread. Now the manner of cooking the lobster can be done three ways — one is the drawn butter (sauté and simmer the boiled lobster in butter, lobster broth, tarragon and lemon juice). The other is to chop the lobster and toss it in a mayonnaise and celery mix. The last is to simply stir the chopped lobster meat in good quality mayonnaise. Plate the lobster roll and serve with pickles and potato chips on the side.</div>

These popular sandwiches offer simplicity and accessibility (plus they are quick to make or can be made ahead, if you’re in a hurry).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
You start with a chicken or tuna spread that may as well be a salad (and sometimes they actually are) which you put between two slices of white bread. The success of this popular sandwich relies on how good you make the salad spread. Whatever ingredient you scrimp on, it may be noticed by its well-respected connoisseurs — your kids.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
First thing to remember is to use good mayonnaise. If you can make them yourself, do so because freshly made mayo tastes great. For a chicken salad sandwich, have some boiled chicken breast fillet ready. Chop it then mix with celery, mayonnaise, herbs and spices. You can spread it also on crustier breads of your choice. Same thing can be done with tuna, drained from a can and simply squeezed with lemon or whipped into a delightful tuna salad to serve as filling. To counter the fishiness, add celery and/or grated raw onion into the mix.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
According to the British Sandwich Association, the consistent all-time favorite sandwich in Britain is the chicken salad sandwich. Everybody loves chicken after all, be it in their sandwiches or on the dinner table. To make these salad sandwiches substantial, tuck in some lettuce and sneak in cubed tomatoes and onions into your spread. You can also make salad sandwiches from boiled eggs, prawns and chopped ham. If you want something vegetarian, make a vegetable salad and use it as the spread.</div>

But there are popular sandwiches that might as well be eaten away from the public eye and in the privacy of one’s own dinner table simply because they are messy sandwiches. The sauce dribbles from your chin, the filling spills onto the plate and onto the table, and one fold of napkin would not be enough to clean up the mess on your face and on the table.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The key ingredients in the messy sandwiches group are the fork tender pork (or seafood in some cases) and the sauce. these messy sandwiches include the Po’ Boy, the pulled pork and the sloppy joes — all of them with their particular delight and charm for the sandwich lover.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The Poor Boy (a.k.a. Po’ Boy) spills over with filling and dressing in a submarine-style sandwich. According to The Nibble, an online magazine dedicated to specialty foods, the Po’ Boy is a staple from Louisiana that makes use of fried seafood. That can be “oysters, crawfish, shrimp, soft-shell crab or catfish — although hot roast beef or ham po’ boys are also served,” says The Nibble.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, the pulled pork sandwich drips with barbecue sauce and really tender meat. The heart of this sandwich is the pulled pork, defined in The Food Timeline as “Slow cooked pork (on grill or in oven) with moisture (water, bbq sauce) results in a product that can easily separate (pulls) into strings (sinews). Pork is then cut, sauced and served (generally) served in sandwich form.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
Sloppy joes were so named because you would need to be reaching for a napkin with its ground beef, sweetened tomato sauce and onions oozing out of the bun as you bite. The sloppy joes are a kid favorite, best prepared using fresh ground beef. If you find the pulled pork or po’ boy sandwich too elaborate or complicated to prepare, consider making the sloppy joes instead — they are worth whatever mess you make.</div>

Since this type of popular sandwiches range from double to triple deckers, they can be served whole or halved for easy eating. Like the hearty heroes and messy sloppy joes, this popular sandwich variety can be as substantial as how you construct them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
One of the simpler types of sandwiches, ham sandwich is nevertheless a popular sandwich. At its best, it makes use of processed ham as the filling in between buttered sliced white loaf bread. The ham can be freshly pan-fried or served as cold boiled ham. In other variations, the ham can be chopped and doused with tartar sauce. Ham can also be combined with other ingredients, as in ham and cheddar cheese or ham and mustard.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The BLT pertains to bacon, lettuce and tomato on toasted sliced bread. It is often served as a triple decker sandwich. The bacon can be as crisp or tender as the diner wants it. While it’s widely available, the BLT has been considered high fat and high in sodium so in restaurants or sandwich bars, lower fat versions are offered (or they simply use ingredients that are low fat and low sodium).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The Club Sandwich is a two-layer, three-bread concoction. A recipe for club sandwiches in <em>Fanny Farmer’s The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book</em> indicates how this tall sandwich is constructed — “Arrange on slices of bread thin slices of cooked bacon; cover with slices of cold roast chicken, and cover chicken with Mayonnaise Dressing. Cover with slices of bread.” The Club sandwich has been attributed to the men’s clubs wherein it was served but this popular sandwich has since become more widely accessible and well-loved.</div>

Deli sandwiches can be eaten in or taken home for eating later.</div>

The pastrami sandwich is a popular sandwich with a filling made from pastrami or brined beef brisket. According to the specialty food online magazine, The Nibble, the beef is “partly dried, seasoned with herbs and spices, smoked, steamed and sliced.” It is then piled into rye bread and garnished with mustard. In other recipes, the pastrami meat is further seasoned by cooking it in beer and mustard before piling onto the sandwich. On the side of a pastrami sandwich is a plate of coleslaw and dill pickles.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The kin of the pastrami is Reuben, composed of corned beef or pastrami layered on rye bread and garnished with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and a dressing (Russian or Thousand Island). It is grilled or toasted. Instead of rye, you can substitute pumpernickel bread. Likewise, buy bottled dressing or you can also make your own (mix mayonnaise, ketchup and horseradish for a sauce to spread on the bread).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The cheesesteak celebrates grilled steak and melted cheese in one sandwich. An original creation from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the sandwich uses a specially made Philadelphia roll that has just the right texture to carry the weight of the meat. While the bottled Cheeze Whiz brand is the traditional cheese sauce used, you can also make your own cheese sauce using grated provolone and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses. Serve the cheesesteak with sautéed mushrooms and peppers as well as caramelized onions on the side.</div>
