I would still put it on sourdough but OKAY I AM CONVINCED IT NEEDS NO CHEESE.

I have long made tomato sandwiches with toasted bread. It's well worth the experiment.

That’s still going on? Heh. I’m not going to really delve into it but I’ll make a post.

Mayo and PB IS good. Especially with a little lettuce for crunch.

Exactly. I raised my eyebrows at it, but decided it was acceptable. Only because when I was young, for breakfast, my grandmother would butter white bread & toast it in the oven. Once it was ready, she would THEN put Duke’s on top, followed by tomato slices. That was called Tomato Toast and made a delectable morning…

The reason Duke’s is so good is because it has no added sugar, and it has a high vinegar content. Is Kewpie like that?

Oh we can get even more whitebread. My family’s go to American sandwich was white bread, mayo, and iceberg lettuce. Crunchy, moist, doughy, nothingness and I loved it!!!

omg that’s such a pretty pail of veg. YUM

I gotchoo booboo

Wise one. I bow to your technique.

Ooof. I’m so sorry. Move East? :)

On most counts, I agree with you. But plain white bread is the perfect choice for this sandwich because it serves the role of tofu. It takes on the flavor of the tomato, mayo, salt & pepper. You don’t need to compete with that perfection. You just need a vehicle.

I eat mine over a plate so I can slurp up the mayo/tomato juice at the end. This ain’t my first rodeo!

Which is why the Lee Brothers started selling it mail-order, for the sad Southern Diaspora. http://www.boiledpeanuts.com/index2.html

This is the ONLY piece I found relevant on Jezebel this week, which of course merely speaks of my own passion for this largely unrecognized triumph of a sandwich. Hats off to you Kelley. You always keep things fresh, real and tasty here. Btw: my own preference: if your sandwich does not start getting a bit 'sloppy'…

Heirloom tomatoes are amazing! Seriously a good tomato will change your life.

My dear Kelly, you have not been specific enough in this otherwise lovely homage to my favorite food. You must use, and ONLY use, Duke’s mayonnaise in your tomato sandwiches.
