Im not mad crazy on fake cheese either, but in my meat eating days cheese was my "thing", so I suppose I need the fix. I have to disguise it very well. I love coriander at the moment.

Has anyone ever tried rice cheese slices, they're not too bad, but you need something else in the sandwich to spice it up.
they sell them in my local health food shop, but these have dairy in them....seems bit of a contradiciton to me that! but they do.i did try them once before i realised, and yes i liked them...grr...lol
Yes the rice cheese slices here have that casein milk protein in them
I've found one brand of truly vegan cheese.. and i believe it was called "vegan cheese".. it was rrealllly good.. but other than that brand [which of course, just HAS to be on the other side of town now that i am car-less ] all the other faux cheese i've come across either have casein in them or lactic acid. Thumbs down!
I like making tofurky sandwitches and putting alot of acocado in it.

Being car-less (or car-free) is one of the best things we can do to help save our beautiful planet and get and keep ourselves fit. It is also more sociable as we are not cocooned in our little (or not so little in some cases) metal boxes. Also fewer small creatures killed on the windscreen and under the tyres.theashleybeyer
Anyyne else without our own car other than me and TAB? Can we have a separate thread on our transport styles?

i dont hav a car never have...well idont possess a licsence..lol (sic)
There is one already. From memory, it's called "What kind of car do you drive (if any)" or something like that.herbwormwood
banana!!
fortunately that has always been my favourite as its the only sandwich from my meateating days that is vegan (egg mayo, tuna mayo, chicken and stuffing)
favourite vegan fillings: fake chicken fillets
also good - fake sausages, burgers, beanie burgers, mexican bean burgers, falafel and hommous (cant remember how you spell hommous!)
I think there are various spellings as it is an arabic word meaning chick peas, translations of foriegn words into english often have more than one spelling.Cairidh

has good background on the word hummus as westerners use it (plus a recipe).

This avocado reuben is a favorite with me and my husband:
Take two slices of firm bread ( I like to use either italian or whole wheat).
Spread one side of each piece of bread with earth balance. Spread inside of one piece with mustard (either regular yellow or spicy brown works well). Spread inside of other piece of bread with 1000 island dressing (I use Nasoya).
Layer side that has mustard on it with sauerkraut that is well drained.
Layer side that has 1000 island dressing on it with mashed avocado.
Place pieces of bread together (earth balance sides out) and grill them in a frying pan.
This can be pretty messy to eat but it is delicious!
I know it's not healthy but you can't beat hot homemade chips/fries on a buttered roll with salt and vinegar. ummmmmmmmmm
= chip butty.
popular item sold in in Northern chip shops (UK)

I've recently become addicted to eating brown bread, hummous, sliced carrot, red pepper and cucumber with grated Scheese (cheddar and chive flavour) mmmm it's so good, it's been my lunch for the past few days and i'm off down the shop to get more hummous tomorrow!
"We ourselves may be loved only for a brief time...Even so, that will suffice...There is a land for the living and there is a land for the dead"
Peanut butter & Kiwi sandwhiches are awesome. I've added banana before too and that is equally awesome.
i have a new favorite. at work, they sell GORGEOUS sundried tomato humous, so i slap some of that on brown bread, then put on real sundried tomatoes (in some kind of oil & everything, mmm) then put a good bit of red onions & finally lettuce. bit of salt & pepper. lovely.
i sometimes like it toasted, but very rarely cos we grill bacon & sausage on our sandwhich toaster machine.
I like to blend ripe avocados with lemon juice and salt then use it as a spread for tomato sandwiches. Of course, I use Ezekiel 4:9 bread for my tomato sandwiches.
Ohhhhhhhhh!
And, oh, how I wish I had read through this thread before lunch - you all have great ideas!
I'm on an avocado, mayo (veganaise), tomato, black pepper, sprouts and raw spinch on whole wheat pita kick. But also love hummus.....(it's why I haven't lost any lbs since become vegan nearly a year ago!)
Everyone needs a little mercy.
what? does hummus make you fat?
I was eating hummus and guacamole sandwiches for a while...that was yummy [I think maybe poppy seed was saying the avocado kept her from losing weight as they have a lot of fat--though they help with cholesterol]

I got some organic lettuce seeds this week which I must sow out soon, they're really easy to grow in hanging baskets, keeps the slugs off. Hoping to eat lots of summer salads to reduce my ever expanding butt. My herb pot (strawberry pot) is coming back to life, the mint has taken over, I must think of a way to use it this year, think I'll try drying or freezing it... wonder if it'd would be good in a tortilla wrap with hummus & shredded carrot... hmmm must try that soon.
Oh yeah! Sundried tomatoes + hummus = a perfect combo.lozza
I’ve just realised I’ve been reading loads of food threads tonight. But why not? I do love my food!
I love whole wheat pitas filled with sun dried tomato & basil hummus and radish sprouts.
The hummus and sprouts are also good on cibatta (sp?) bread with fresh sliced tomatoes and spicy brown mustard.
Today I had a peanut butter/shredded organic carroty/raisin/cinnamon/brown bread sandwich.To be honest actually I was out of raisins so I used veganmallow instead, which was not nearly as good =(
I also sometimes make morningstar chickenstyle tenders with barbeque and cooked greens in a sandwich. That is very yummy =)

the whole concept of putting edibles between two slices of badass bread is incredible. I love sandwhiches. Just about anything can go on toast.
Today i had some pureed dates with some ground flaxseed spread on toast. it was pretty good.. considering i'm trying to use up the last of my groceries!
My favorite sammich of all time is the following combo of yummyosity:
red onion
cucumber
sweet pepper
kalamata olives
stoneground yellow mustard
veganaise
sea salt
all on two really good, thick, vegan whole-wheat slices of bread. So nummy, sweet, and salty.
Also, I find that lightly toasting one side of each bread slice keeps it from getting soggy, or from drooping (where all the filling falls out!).
Oh also I made this two weeks ago; it's okay on its own as a salad but pair it with a pita and some hummus and . . . *droools* :
(everything is diced up fine)
roasted golden beets
jicama
cucumber
red onion
mint
unbelievable. *runs off to the kitchen*
Tahini
Olive Oil.

Finally! I'm not the only one who uses the term "nummy"!!!
That sandwhich sounds incredible.. mmmm..
I tried that for the first time and I thought it was awful! So did my fiancee. Yay I love using the word fiancee Anyway, you HAVE to try the Sweet William chocolate spread. It is awsome. I use it as icing on chocolate cake as well.happycow
Just now I took 2 1/4 inch slices of tofu, covered them in coconut milk, teriaki sauce, oregano, and cracked black pepper. Then microwaved them in a covered dish for 4 minutes.
Slid it between two slices of toasted bread and put some ketchup in there too.
Wanted to put a veg in but couldn't think of what would go well.
Really good, had kind of an egg sandwich type thing in a non-sulfur/non-disgusting sort of way.

I gotta jar of the sweet william spread at the Sydney Vegan Expo, you can buy it from Jessica at the cruelty free shop online. It's pretty chocolaty. I haven't tried it with anything except to get a spoon and eat it from the jar but I can imagine it will be nice on things other than a spoon
My sandwich filling of choice at the moment is:
Three bean houmous
Cucumber
Tomato
'Bistro Salad' with raw beetroot
Mmmmmm

hahahahhahahhaha
i'm a simple creature, it's gotta be cheezly and pickle. yum.
We found vegan butter a few days ago in Morrisons. It tastes so good and exactly like butter. It's organic and has the vegan label on it. It's called Pure, you can get 3 kinds. We got the blue one.
you can also buy it online here: http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-...il/408527.html
There is also a green one but I forgot what the difference was.
I found another one that is yellow here: http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-...il/408518.html
Just thought I'd share it..
The yellow one is Sunflower, the green one is soya, and the blue is organic soya The blue one (IMO) tastes the best but the green one is cheaper
i like:
tahini and marmite
eggless egg salad (tofu,turmeric, onion, notmayostuff, mustard)
peanut butter and american dill pickles
um... almost any leftovers make a good sandwich. i'll turn nearly anything into a sandwich.
hummus is the great standby for me. i like it with dijon mustard, tomatoes, sprouts....
mashed potato sandwiches are yum...
hashbrowned potato and ketchup.. yum yum.

My favourite at the minute is Redwood sage and onion slices with black olive hummus and mixed salad on wholemeal bread. I might grate a bit of black pepper over the filling or add some sliced tomato.
Easy, quick, simple, healthy and.......delicious :>
well i have only starting being a vegan about two weeks ago. But so far I have been having the following in my sandwiches
Lettuce,
Cucumber
peppers ( any colour)
tomatos
Humous
Not very exciting but I am only beginning!
My fave is seseme poppy seed crackers with organic pumpkin hommus (sooo good), cucumber, tomato, cracked pepper, smoked tofu sliced, alfalfa sprouts mmmm...
everything! sprouts, cucumber, banana, tomato, vegan caviar, tofutti cream cheese, parsley hummus, basil hummus, paprika hummus, butterbean spread, tahini and jam, hazelnut/chocolate spread, ajvar, eggplant spread, eggless egg salad, just about everything. yummie
Humous and grated carrot
or cheezly and red onion
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams
Almond butter! Yum
try pesto or hummus. also almond butter is great as mentioned below. try to avoid prepackaged vegan cheese as it's very processed and not very healthy. i also enjoy pumpkin butter...very tasty! in reference to the vegan butter post, i would check it out to see what the ingredients are. most things like that seem to be very processed and contain unwanted added chemicals. i bet if you look into it, it's prob not too hard to make yr own even.
What the heck is vegan caviar and pumpkin hummos???
it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble
i am thinking that pumpkin hummus can be made with using pumpkin butter instead of tahini or maybe pumpkin instead of chickpeas?
Vegan Caviar
This is one of my favorite staple recipes. I have had guests come to dinner that had decided to become vegans without letting me know and they spent a lovely evening eating a lot of this spread as I had not prepared a vegan menu for dinner. They didn't seem to mind. This spread has a lovely garlic-olive-eggplant flavor that is excellent when served on toast rounds or pita bread. Why is this in the Halloween recipe section now? Because it has a marvelous black color that is perfect for Halloween, especially when served beside Orange Roasted Pepper Spread. Yummm.
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 minced cloves garlic
1 cup finely chopped eggplant
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups pitted black olives
3 tablespoons chopped pine nuts
2 teaspoons chopped capers
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
pinch salt
Heat a small heavy skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil, garlic, and eggplant and saute for three minutes. Add the water and saute for an additional three minutes, or until the eggplant is tender. Place the eggplant mixture with the remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Serve warm or chilled.
