I love sandwiches- so much so that I would probably have sex with them. I'm pretty sure there are other of sandwich perverts out there so I thought thought I'd start a series where we can detail all our SILFs-- Sandwiches (we) I'd Like to Fuck.
Let's kick it off with a classic sandwich from a classic neighborhood establishment:
Deli: So's Your Mom, Adams Morgan.
The Sandwich: Hickory Smoked Boar's Head Ham & Swiss Cheese.
Ordered With: Lettuce, tomato, red onion and mayonnaise.
Served On: Wheat toast.
Optional side dish: Giant pickle.
Price: $5.25
Ham & Cheese is my go-to comfort sandwich and So's Your Mom does an excellent job of keeping this a no-nonsense classic.
The deli uses an inch thick stack of Hickory Smoked Ham- which I find to be perfect in terms of my mouth-to-sandwich ratio.
The heat from the toasted wheat bread melts the swiss cheese ever-so-slightly, fusing it with the perfect coat of mayonnaise, spread of both halves of toast- enough to taste but not enough to spluge out of the side of the sandwich.
I really appreciate that the deli opts for very thinly sliced red onions and tomatoes- allowing for optimal stacking and even distribution of both lesser and greater ingredients throughout consumption.
Bottom line: this sandwich, classic yet elegant in it's construction and quality of ingredients taste likes it was made at home by a soccer mom- if she had a degree in Art History and Horticulture from Wellesley.

God loves a cheerful giver.
this column just made me really hungry.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE SANDWICH OR THE PICKLE? I FEEL LIKE YOU'D HAVE A BETTER TIME F'ING THE PICKLE. I'M ALSO ASSUMING LIBBY IS A GIRL'S NAME THOUGH. IF YOU'RE A DUDE I GUESS YOU COULD F' THE SANDWICH. OR GET F'D BY THE PICKLE.
This definitely gets a sweet tooth.
I can testify to that sandwich. Sometimes I like to bye 2 and promise one to a friend but then eat both. Nah mean.
Doesn't sound like this is really a sandwich that Libby or anyone wants to F*ck- (and it's not, sandwiches from So's Your Mom are pretty weak.. I'd think twice about rounding second base with any of them).
I think we're gonna be hard-pressed to find too many f*ckable sandwiches in D.C. - all of our sandwiches are prudes.

Does So's your Mom make any sandwiches that are NOT amazing? I have wet dreams featuring that turkey/avocado bonanza of theirs
This Sandwich has nothing on Tune Inn's West Virginian.
The idea of fucking something overstuffed, cheesy, and slathered up with special sauce vs. fucking something clean, refined, and pretty makes me rethink my last comment.
I guess if we're going for sandwiches I'd like to fuck, I guess classy-ing it up wouldn't be the worst idea.
Umm since I am in Adams Morgan every day of my life and also a sandwich f-er I'd like to know exactly where this So's Your Mom (preferably in a geographical relation to the closest bar)
To the commenter above. Yes, Libby is a female but you should see that bitch f a sandwich up.
stay away from the italian cured meat sandwiches at this place--you'll be disappointed if not disgusted, which would be sad bc other than those types, it's pretty great. and cheap.
