Washington State: banh mi

Okay so there are some eyebrow-raising entries in this list, but Washington couldn’t even get a sandwich from the correct hemisphere. (A quick Google search even indicates the sandwich was first imported to California)

This guide is awful and bad.

Country ham and mayo??? What the genuine fuck?

Edit: To the person who downvoted me: I challenge you to find a single recipe, a single real photo, a single COMMENT from ANYONE in the world who has even thought about putting country ham, what is essentially salt that comes in the shape of a slice of ham, bare on some bread with mayonnaise as a sandwich, let alone the sandwich of Virginia.

I live in rural Virginia, I was born in urban Virginia, and I feel firm that I can speak for all of Virginia and say this guide is wrong and bad.

The only source I’ve been able to find for this is TitleMax, a title loan company. https://www.titlemax.com/discovery-center/the-united-states-of-sandwiches/

This is spam.

A better title would be, “random sandwiches you can probably get while visiting this state” I see very little correlation to what I would consider as the signature sandwich of the state.

Mayo on a smoked brisket sandwich?? That’s not from Texas, y’all.

Looks like this was based off a list of 50 sandwiches made popular by the Food Network and Zagat magazine.

Specifically Cam’s Ham in Virgina advertises the Ham and Mayo sandwich.

Are these “state sandwiches”? Probably not. Judging by the comments, you’re all rather passionate about your sandwiches and what they represent. I’ve even received reports on this post saying it’s false information. Perhaps we need to consider the source of this information and take it with a grain of salt.

Thank you all for remaining civil, and acknowledging the existing of sandwich alternatives such as hot dogs, tacos, and quesadillas.
