I don’t necessarily mean specific recipes, I mean concepts. A western sandwich is bread, (vegan) meat or cheese, sauce, tomato, something pickled, some salad, mostly, all layered and/or thinly sliced. Cross out maybe some of them for simplicity, like the mayo tomato or the british cheese and cucumber.

A döner kebap is sort of layered but everything but the protein layer is more of a mix up and not like tomato followed by onion or whatever.

A Banh Mi is sort of western of course, but it does a twist. The layers are there-ish, but they don’t matter so much. Sort of a hybrid between something like a kebap and a pita if you catch my drift.

What other sandwiches are there, conceptually?

    Tortas, imagine a burrito in sandwich form.

    Paninis are the grilled cheese’s classy older sibling. But some balsamic-portobello mushrooms, tomatoes, basil and a vegan cheese in a sandwich with ciabatta bread, grill it and serve.

    I want to try a vegan croque monsieur recipe (ham and cheese but france-cool), but I need to find a good recipe.

      I could probably figure something out there. I have access to some decent quality fake ham where I live tho, not really a flavor I’ve attempted from scratch. An almond mozzarella is probably what you’re gonna want for cheese. I’ve wanted to try making mozza with tofu and have a game plan but that’s a day in the lab and I’ve been busting my ass in the kitchen I work at a lot lately.
