The last batch of sandwiches from our readers

Well, we waited as long as we could, and we finally get to bring the last of the sandwiches from our readers. It's been a fabulous feast of sandwiches all day long and we certainly couldn't have done Sandwich Day without our readers. Heck, we wouldn't have Slashfood without our readers, so thank you all!

Kochtopf throws together a Spain-meets-Italy sandwich from things in the fridge, but there's no bread! While the rest of us might run out to the store to grab a loaf, Kochtopf bakes an olive ciabatta!

For The Ultimate Tuna Melt, Heather uses a naturally leavened 7-grain bread topped with smoked albacore tuna, strips of aged sharp cheddar cheese, then places it under the broiler until the cheese is bubbling hot.

Brit Ben of BigStrong needs to represent for the country that invented the sandwich. Smoked Salmon with Wasabi Egg Mayonnaise is made by grating hard-boiled eggs into mayonnaise mixed wtih wasabi, then spreading it over slices of smoked salmon on buttered bread. A Brie, Salami and Avocado Toasted Panini is made by splitting bread ad layering it with salami, slices of brie and avocado. Season liberally, then grill in a panini press.

Slashfoodie Meg cuts a whole-wheat pita bread in half, spread peanut butter inside, sprinkles in a handful of raisins, then stuffs them alfalfa sprouts.

My favorite Aussie "Augustus Gloop" of blog Grab Your Fork makes a simple sandwich of fresh tomatoes, basil and cheese on French bread.

C is for Cooking, but B is for burgers, and Jeff goes to Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage and eats a medium-rare cheeseburger with onions and a side o' onion rings.

Don and Vesna of Ulysses' Odyssey eat a good honest burger but the best part is the side of cole slaw, a la Tyler Florence.

Kevin of Seriously Good, who already gave us a Cuban sandwich, shares another -- a roast pork sandwich, but it's not the sandwich that impresses us, it's the Cheddar cheese bread he bakes!

Tanya declares, I Ate a Pie, but for Slashfood, she shows us how to make sandwiches light and healthy.

If we were awarding prizes, Farkleberries would win hands down for both having the best blog name, and for eating the best named sandwich: Bastard Chip Buttie.

We get to go to Brazil via Trasel, who shares "bauru," a traditional brazilian sandwich. It is made by filling a French roll grilled meat, pickles, tomato and mozzarella, gruyere and gouda cheeses, which are melted in warm water.

Reader Elsa's favorite sandwich is made in her andwich press with two slices of buttered buttermilk white bread, salami and smoked cheddar or Brie.
