I'm from North Carolina, and I'm surprised at how many people I meet that aren't aware of how terrific this sandwich is! If you have any American Cheese on hand, throw a slice of that in the middle and you'll be addicted! For something that sounds so simple, it sure is delicious! (Maybe it's a Southern thing, like Banana and Mayonnaise sandwiches, which must be served on the whitest bread you can find!) I hope more people give Tomato Sandwiches a shot..don't forget the cheese! Teresa

I was born, raised and still reside in Georgia and this is EXACTLY what happens to the very first tomato off my vines every, single year! This is the food of the GODS! YUM! Do not even try this with a store bought tomato! If you have only had store bought tomatoes make it your life's goal to have a fresh from the farm tomato. It will ruin you for life! = )

I too am from NC. I grew up eating these sandwiches. You have posted the "PREMO" Southern delicacy! I have to make an admission here, and I wouldn't do it everywhere. I puposely buy white bread for this sandwich.....LOL. These sandwiches are just not at their most with the multi-grains I eat with everything else. I don't know why, other than nostagia, that this should even make a difference, but it does! So, during the summer I do keep a loaf of white bread around. OK, I don't think I can be totally condemned for that....HUH?
