I'm guessing you didn't read the fine print.
The key to a tomato sandwich is simplicity, not some Gordon Ramsay shit.

I didn't say anything about lettuce.
Sorry, I'm at my desk having a bag of Doritos for lunch and was thinking about what I'd rather have. certainly not a tomato and mayo sandwich, that's nasty.
I'm all in with this post . . !
Mine are lightly toasted . . just enough to stand up to the mayo and tomato liquid runoff . .
Mmmmm . . . that sounds dayum gud right there.
Home grown mater on soft white bread with duke's mayo and pepper. Some vidalia onion and baby cukes soaking in apple cider vinegar as an accompanimeinmentment
I dig mater sammiches. But I'll add one slice of american cheese if I have it but it's not a must have. The salt and pepper are the key to any mater sammich.
That does sound amazing. On a related note, prosciutto might be the most underrated food of all time.
Am I the only Hellman's guy on here? Duke's just tastes off to me; I can't quite put my finger on it. Hellman's is the perfect mayo.
Correct. The bread should not be anything fancy, its purpose is mostly structural.
Nope, but my dad was, so that's probably where it came from. There was always Hellman's in the fridge, so that's what I'm used to.
Yeah, I guess it's just what you grew up eating. I've been a Duke's fan for as long as I can remember.
Definitely with you on the home grown and not store bought. With a BLT, I think you can get away with store bought tomatoes (even though they still aren't as good, obviously), but with a tomato sandwich, they have to be at least locally grown.
For the bread, I prefer wheat. I like the flavor and the texture a lot better, even though white will do just fine. They're still good soft, but I prefer all sandwiches toasted; tomato not being an exception.
I'm from damn yankee lineage... we moved to NC when I was 7 or 8 (and thank God we did). I say that because the first time I ever heard of someone eating a tomato sandwich, I thought WTH is wrong with these people? However, I do really like a good mater sammich.
Regarding the mayo, my culinary student daughter makes fresh homemade mayo (it's really pretty simple), and it's damn good. Sometimes she'll make some garlic mayo, or spicy mayo, which is fantastic as wel.

Ya, that's about where I'm at right now.
American cheese is trash. The only time it's even tolerable is when it's melted onto a much more delicious meat product.
Come at me, bro.
White bread with mayo & pepper on a mater sandwich along with corn on the cob with big glass of home brew ice tea.
I've got a few German Johnsons, Better Boys and Beefsteaks at home. I planted two of the Red Beefsteaks at work. When this place gets to me I go outside and mess with them a bit just to stay out of prison.
They need lots and lots of sun. The more the better.
You described the perfect mater sammich. This is exactly how I build/make mine. I spread a decent layer of Dukes on both pieces of bread and load it down with pepper. Preferably a better boy tomato with lots of slimy seeds.
I don't have much of a sunny backyard due to tree cover, so I let my dad handle the growing part on my behalf.
Sweet millions cherry tomatoes, early girls, better boys, parks whoppers. I add in a few purple Cherokees, Mr stripeys, and yellow globe heirlooms.

I wish I had some sun to grow my own 'maters . . too many tall oaks on this lot.
Sounds like the perfect excuse to acquire a few grow lights.
