In praise of the meatball sandwich!

[Tomasso]

Yes, that's right! I know this is the connoisseur section but a well prepared meatball sandwich is more than worthy of the classification, IMO. It just gets short shrift; that's all I'm sayin'......:essen:

My first Meatball Sandwich, Papaleo's Deli, Lake Worth, FL c.1964. The best ever!

Wow, what a coincidence. A couple of hours ago, I had one myself for dinner. I agree that they are good.

You gotta have balls!

Well I made spaghetti & meatballs for dinner (but even better, I get leftovers for lunch

I'm also a devoted fan of the meatball sandwich (which is generally called a meatball wedge in the northern NYC area).

Also sausage and peppers, preferably while standing in the street at an Italian festival!

I, too, am a meatball sandwich lover. But Imust say, I'm often disappointed. There are a lot of nasty meatballs out there.
May I also say that I'm a meatloaf sandwich fan as well, preferably on rye bread with plenty of ketchup (tho really good meatloaf shouldn't need much ketchup.)
And to broaden the discussion ever further, how about good old bread and gravy? And that quintessential vintage dish, biscuits and gravy?

I had one about a week ago at a place called Jason's Deli. It was really pretty good. I like to eat one every now and then.

My family frowns on my predilection for bread & gravy, bread & drippin's, and such. After the lean years it apparently got to be a bit déclassé.

I prefer meatloaf sammiches to meatball ones (many of the latter are structurally unsound). If no gravy is to be had, just mayo please.

Used to eat Meatball subs from DiLaurenti's at the Pike Place Market.

Yummy! :eusa_clap

 

[Yeps]

meatball subs are fantastic, especially with the meatballs and sauce from the big pot slowly cooking on the stove, and fresh italian bread...
Now I am hungry again, and I just ate.

Remember Flubadub? He loved meatballs.

I love me a cold meatloaf sandwich with only the ketchup that was originally on it when prepared the night before. Meatloaf, like fried chicken and revenge, is best served cold.

I never knew that!

I don't immagine there are many on here old enough to remember the Howdy Doody Show!

That's one lame looking MB sandwich.

This is more what I'm talkin' bout.:essen:

BTW, the meatballs in today's MB sandwich often began as last nights spaghetti and meatball dinner.

>>>> BUT ONLY WITH SPAGHETII That's how it was meant to be! No other way will do lol

I guess I won't even bother to ask how you feel about a Chicken Parmesan sandwich........

 

[HadleyH]

Grilled Chicken meatballs

.... with salad they are nice too, also with rice!

I might be going a bit off topic here, I apologize, but chicken meatballs Yakitori are quite delicious ! they are grilled or broiled! Little calories very yummy!

You do realize that you now have John Montagu spinning in his grave. Well done, Had.
