Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Sandwiches of the USA


Classic sandwiches from all 57 states. 


How about the "Elvis" from Mississippi? Peanut butter, fried banana, and bacon on toast, with a splash of hot sauce on top. Sounds ok with me. Gimme one, to check it out:

This would be good information for anyone planning to take a road trip. Sample a special sandwich in each state. Getting off the Interstate to sample the sandwiches would also provide much-needed rest stops.

That looks declassé and perfectly delicious.

57 states. Let us never forget.

They should have one for D.C. and call it the BS.

Grew up in MO; never heard of this. Must be an STL-area special. Never run across the Oklahoman or Oregonian either.

I've got a better version !! Peanut Butter, fresh summer sliced peaches, bacon on white (or sourdough) toast. It can also be served on a delicate whole wheat--not one of those breads that hurt when you eat them!

Just discovered this sandwich from Hawaii (sort of):

Be sure to grill the pineapple--the flavor is sublime!

Yum, grilled pineapple is also good on a grilled hamburger with fig sauce! That's a NJ recipe.

I live right by the sandwich shop cited in the article for Maine Lobster Rolls, and Red's Eats in Wiscasset is not located "just steps from the Atlantic Ocean" as the writer wishes it were...it's at least 15 miles north of the Atlantic, but it is located on the Sheepscot River which will eventually lead you to the Gulf of Maine and the Atlantic Ocean...just to set the record straight.

They got North Carolina's pork bar-b-que sandwich and Louisiana's Mouffaletta (though they could have chosen any number of Po-boys which are oysters, shrimp, roast beef, cold cuts, or whatever you have on French bread, too). The thing they didn't mention about the Moufaletta is that the olive salad that is on it was (and maybe still is) called WOP salad (because it is an Italian salad). Just one of those fun facts to know and tell!

I still love peanut butter and fluff sandwiches - good alternative to tuna fish on Fridays. And it's gotta be the real fluff from Lynn, MA - not the fake kind made by Kraft.

As a former Nutmegger, I never knew the official state sammich was a lobster roll from Noank. Huh - learn something new everyday.

I will say that of all the sammiches I'm had in my life, the muffaletta tops the list. And not the Central Grocery ones, but a place right off the Tulane campus (probably isn't there anymore post Katrina) where the bread is fresh baked, the fixin's aren't skimped on and the olive salad is divine.

Second only to the BLT which is a favorite anywhere you go.
