I know I grew up eating PB&J pretty much every day unless there was another option on the weekend. I didn't like any other sandwiches in my lunch box.. pb&j was always ok even if a touch soggy. 
But there are so many variations out there.. especially now.
And since I just had an AWSOME sandwich I thought I'd tell you about it and maybe another favorite or two.. and ask that everyone else join in with some good "alternative" sandwiches.
Today I had a bagel with cream cheese, sliced turkey and sliced dill pickles.. sounds weird.. sounded really weird when a friend told me about it.. and it tastes delicious.. the sweet of the cream cheese balances out the dill pickle and it's so yummy. And simple. I've also made it with ham and bread and butter pickles.. ham just doesn't work with the dill pickle.. and that's pretty good too.. though not as good as the turky and dill pickle.
And the other day my dh took me out to lunch at the deli and I had a croissant with mayo, avacado, lettuce, onion, turkey and provalone.. yummm
So what are some of YOUR favorites????

Sounds yummy, Jodie. For months in college, I ate a turkey, cheese, and pickle sandwich!
We've done cream cheese and jelly before. Very tasty.
We also imitate the grilled cheese from a local restaurant by adding diced tomatoes, scallions/green onions, and sometimes more than one kind of cheese. VERY good!

PBJ
Cream Cheese and jelly
peanut butter and fluff
peanut butter and honey
nutella and PB
nutella & sprinkles
(a lot of these are like mix-n-match)
tomato. with mayo. it is the only thing i will willingly eat with mayo. a big, ripe home grown summer tomato is best. yum. with just a little salt. on really soft white bread. this is my favorite ever. a little cucumber can be added, but not necessary.
BLTs
hummus and....(turkey, sprouts, avacado, tomato, etc etc...)
avacado and...(same as hummus...)
my family loves when i take flavored cream cheese (like onion, or veggie) and spread it on a tortilla and then add turkey or ham and cheese and then cut it into pinwheels.
oh - if you have the time - a reuben. yum-o. i can't have the cheese anymore (sad!) but i will take a bite of someone else's and deal with the consequences, they are that good.
roast beef with horseradish.
uummm......

Laura.. what's fluff?
And Lindsay - grilled cheese with scallions.. that sounds so good.
But tell me.. do you put mayo in your grilled cheese or not? That's how I grew up with it.. we don't make it that way.. except every once in a while I'll have one with just a tiny bit because it sounds good.

No mayo, but I butter the bread. It makes it crisp up nicely on the griddle.

OK My mouth is totally watering for that juicy sandwich 
Around here we love to eat the same old turkey and cheese and PB&J.
Recently my ds has been making his own fried bologna. It smells so good cooking and he will even top it off with mayo and a few spinach leaves  .

We often have a chicken caesar sandwich a la Barefoot Contessa--so tasty. Other than that, it's just peanut butter, since we don't usually keep lunchmeat around.
My favorite sandwich is from a restaurant in Napa that I used to go to with my parents when I was growing up: juicy rotisserie chicken breast, melted Monterey Jack, and arugula. Oh, yum.

Okay, I am weird. I hate sandwiches. When we pack for a picnic (like, every day when we are on vacation!), I put all the sandwich ingredients into a separate sandwich bag for me and eat them without the bread. My dd made chicken salad the other day (for a test) and didn't like it. I ate it all...it was excellent...from a bowl!

yes, when i want to be especially well loved, i will sprinkle mini chocolate chips on the peanutbutter & fluff sandwich. it's like a peanut butter s'more, all sticky gooey goodness.
but is really more like "dessert" than anything else.

My absolute favorite sandwich:
bagel, plain or "everything" or onion
smoked salmon, sliced thinly
red onion, sliced thinly
cream cheese
capers
a squeeze of lemon juice

runner ups:
Kentucky Hot Browns
Monte Cristo
Oyster Po'boy
Tuna melt
ETA: one more: grilled smoked turkey+avocado+manchego cheese+really garlicky aioli
and a Filipino original:
condensed milk on some pandesal (bread of salt)
and the weirdest sandwich I've ever heard of, eaten by hubby in his bachelor days when he didn't have anything else in the house
bacon, peanut butter and orange marmalade sandwich -- he said it was really good!!

I'm bumping this because I just finished eating the following sandwich and it was sooooooooo good, I hated to see it end. It is a classic deli sandwich back east, that I just don't find it here in AZ...
Corned Beef
Coleslaw
Rye Bread
Swiss Cheese
Thousand Island Dressing
I found a great product on sale yesterday, StoneRidge Ranch Corned Beek. I couldn't find the product online but here is a matching logo from StoneRidge Ranch Grill. The corned beef is vacuum sealed, found in the refrigerated food section, and cooks in 1-2 minutes. I made my own slaw and dressing, but that's not necessary for a fabulous sandwich. Make sure you have a pickle on the side!
I like this product so much that I'll purchase it again to make another fave sandwich...Rueben. YUM!
Love,

I LOVE Ruebens. I often crave them in late pregnancy (though, at this point, I'm just humoring  since I know that I *normally* love a reuben).

I love a fishfinger sandwich - with mint jelly and horseradish sauce but I am alone in that taste in our family.
We all like crispy bacon, chopped walnuts and cream cheese. And salad sandwiches.
