Default 8 Sandwiches I Would Rather Die than Eat (was 50 Sandwiches toEat before you Die)

Well, that might be putting it a tad strongly in some cases.

1.Beef on Weck - Rare roast beef and horseradish on a caraway-flecked
kummelweck roll. From Western New York.

Love rare roast beef. Don't like horseradish. Hate caraway.

2.Caviar Sandwich - Caviar, cream cheese or sour cream, and grated onion
on rye bread. Eaten through Scandinavia and in Russia and Eastern Europe.

Wouldn't touch raw fish eggs (or raw seafood of any sort for that
matter) with a 100-foot pole. Hate rye bread. I'll take the cream
cheese though.

3.Cream Cheese with Lox - Cream cheese and smoked salmon server either
in a bagel or on rye or whole meal bread. Jewish-American deli food.

See above. Now real smoked salmon and cream cheese would be good
on a bagel. Hold the rye.

4.Lampredotto - Boiled tripe from 4th stomach served in crusty roll with
salsa verde and red salsa picante. From Florence, Italy.

You're kidding, right? Tripe? I don't care which stomach it's
from - it ain't going in my stomach.

5.Marmite Sandwich - Marmite yeast extract and butter on bread. British
from 1902. Frequently made for children’s packed lunches and parties.
Aussie version, Vegemite, from 1922.

Marmite, vegemite - it's all slimy, moldy stuff. Not happening.

6.Muffaletta - A large round loaf, 10" in diameter, hollowed out and
filled with many layers of olive salad (olives, cauliflower, celery,
carrots, oil vinegar), cured meats (salami, mortadella, cappicola), and
cheese (emmenthaler, provolone) and wrapped in waxed paper. From New
Orleans, 1906.

Well, this actually sounds good except for the "olive salad". I guess
if you leave that off it's not a muffaletta, huh? What about just the
oil and vinegar? How about other *good-tasting* veggies - green
peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.?

7.Pastrami on Rye - Pastrami (cured brisket) on rye bread, cucumber
pickles served on the side. Jewish-American food from mid-19th century.

Never cared for pastrami but could probably choke it down if it were
on white bread. Hate rye!

8.Peanut Butter and Jelly - Layer of peanut butter with layer of jelly
(classically grape but strawberry also permissible) on white sandwich
bread. A variant is the CJ (cream cheese and jelly). From USA.

Maybe I don't really hate this but I've never eaten one. Ever.
I just didn't think it sounded good. I suppose I could choke one
down if my life depended on it.
