Hi, I have to be honest. I am a vegetarian. My husband and two sons are not!
They all love ham and ham sandwiches. Most of the time, they use rye bread,
horseradish mustard, and Swiss Cheese. If my dad has his garden tomatoes, my husband adds a couple of slices of homegrown tomatoes!

'Round my house, we tend to keep it simple, because that's the way my husband likes it (I've been working on expanding his culinary horizons, but some things are just carved in stone): whole wheat bread (although I prefer rye), Honeycup honey mustard, and swiss or cheddar, depending on what we have on hand. Some of the combos above really have me salivating, though!

Ham, Hellmann's, & lettuce. Prefer white bread, but I'll settle for wheat. Hmm... getting hungry!

OK - this will be weird, but I like a ham sandwich on nutty-grainy bread, with cottage cheese. Tart low-fat cottage cheese on the dry side. I'm picky about cottage cheese. But something about the contrast with the smoky, salty ham... Mmmm.
