Ingredients for sandwich
¼ pound of bacon
¼ pound of pork based sausage (links or patties)
½ pound of deli-sliced, honey-cured ham
2 slices of ½ – ¾ inch bread (Polish rye or sourdough)
A fair helping of sandwich spread of choice (mayo, mustard, salad dressing etc.)
Enough slices of cheese for what you need
Cheese options:
American
Cheddar
Fontina
Jarlsberg
Swiss
Suggested garnishing options:
Ketchup
Catsup
Cholula hot sauce
Bacon, ham, or sausage
Optional
* substitute half of the honey-cured ham with black forest ham
* add 1tsp brown sugar to grease base
Cooking:
Pan fry bacon and sausage (hereafter referred to as “tha’ stuffin”)
Make sure sausage is broken up into smaller pieces
Set tha’ stuffin aside
Pour all but a thin coating of the grease out of the pan
Reduce pan to medium heat and place bread slices in grease
Gently toast one side of each slice; the bread will absorb a portion of the grease giving it a meaty flavor
Place bread to the side
Spread out the sliced ham and spoon a portion of tha’ stuffin into each
Roll the ham and tha’ stuffin into… rolls
Assembly:
Spread a thin layer of chosen sandwich spread on the non-toasted side of each bread slice
Place the ham rolls and cheese on the non-toasted side of the bread, fitting them together closely
Alternate layers of cheese and ham rolls, starting and ending with a layer of cheese
If adding any additional ingredients, (garnishes etc…) place them in the center of the sandwich
Overall design once assembled should be symmetrical from top down
Finally, place entire sandwich in a sandwich maker (device used to seal sandwiches shut) until edges are firmly sealed and no ingredients spill out
Presentation:
Ideal presentation involves projection of sandwich to face via a “potato gun” or other device used to propel food-type-objects at high speeds
Additionally, one may wish to make a small flag out of bacon and a toothpick to top the sandwich
Others suggest ideal presentation in the “open faced” style:
Find a close friend
Create a small hole, thumb sizes, in the bottom, center of sandwich
Have friend insert thumb through hole, holding sandwich vertically against a fist
Open mouth (the individual eating the sandwich, not the friend… although (s)he can also open his/her mouth for effect)
Have friend insert sandwich at high velocity into mouth via fist transportation
Ham Smash ‘Em Up
By Nathan Rosen of microhorror.com
Ingredients: Rustic white bread, honey mustard, provolone cheese, your favorite ham, sliced pickles.
Note: You may substitute any spread or condiments you like for the honey mustard, and you may substitute any cheese you like for the provolone.
Step 1: Build a sandwich in the following order, from the bottom up:
Slice of bread
Honey mustard
Ham
Cheese
Pickles
Cheese
Ham
Honey mustard
Slice of bread
Step 2: Press the sandwich created in Step 1 in a hot panini press until it is golden and crispy on the outside and gooey and molten on the inside.
Step 3: Return to your ingredients and build a sandwich in the following order, from the bottom up:
Slice of bread
Honey mustard
Ham
Cheese
Pickles
Cheese
Ham
Honey mustard
The entire pressed sandwich that was created in Step 2
Honey mustard
Ham
Cheese
Pickles
Cheese
Ham
Honey mustard
Slice of bread
Step 4: Take the new, monstrous sandwich that was created in Step 3 and press it in the panini press until it is, again, golden and crispy on the outside and gooey and molten on the inside.
Theoretically, the process could be repeated infinitely, limited only by the vertical capacity of your panini press, but most people will be satisfied with the iterations described above.
From top to bottom:
Bread
Butter
Ham
Butter
Smash ( http://www.premierfoods.co.uk/our-brands/smash_home.cfm )
Ketchup (just a little to fuse with the Smash)
Ham
Butter
Bread
For extra Britishness, “wrap” the Smash in small amounts of Marmite.
Would hold the sandwich together nicely too. If you do this right it
should explode just a little bit when you eat it, suiting the name
perfectly.
A smash sandwich usually has french fries in side it. Therefore, I think
the Ham Smash Em Up sandwich should have layers of hot ham with melted
swiss cheese and french fries, served in a hot toasted bun slathered with
mustardaise.
Ingredients: 4 slices of medium-thin ham (only the finest, please)
1 ounce of also-the-finest ham, diced into cubes about 1/8″ per side
2 ounces of cheese (cheddar or pepperjack, preferably) grated into small bits
2 slices of bread (YOUR CHOICE!)
Some butter
2 medium-sized frying pans of equal proportions (or a George Foreman, or a sammich press)
Directions: Arrange ingredients as follows, starting from the bottom and working up: 1 slice of bread, 2 slices of ham, diced ham cubes AND grated cheese (important that they’re in the same level), 2 slices of ham, 1 slice of bread. Place about a half-tablespoon of butter on top of sammich. Make sure your frying pans are frickin’ clean, top and bottom. Put both on the stove on medium-high. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter on ONE of the pans. When the butter in the pan starts bubbling and looking like the whole shebang is pretty darn hot, take that frying pan off heat, placing on any surface you don’t care about singeing or deforming (preferably another unused burner or a wooden cutting board) Very quickly put the sammich construction buttered-side-up (important!) in the buttered pan. Take the other pan off of the stove and, being careful not to hurt yourself or whatever, smash it the hell on top of the sammich as it sits in the other pan. Leave it in this configuration for about 3 minutes. When the sammich is finally freed, it will be hot and toasted, and the ham cubes will be smashed out the sides with the cheese (depending on the ferocity of your smashing) in a gooily delicious configuration. Eat, or throw at neighbor.
Ham Smash ‘Em Up
By Adam F.
You will need:
– Any number of ham slices
– Two pieces of bread
– Five 2″ nails (may substitute any size except 1.25″. This is critically important to your safety.)
– One hammer
– One stool (pine wood, maple varnish, red cotton or black leather upholstered)
1) Nail one slice of bread to the ceiling.
2) Hold four nails between your fingers, like Wolverine!
3) Growl a bit, slash the air as if you were fighting Magneto (very important!)
4) Impale the second piece of bread on your finger-nails.
5) Impale the desired number of ham slices on your finger-nails, above the bread.
6) Standing on the stool, punch the piece of bread on the ceiling
6a) If you are tall enough to reach the ceiling, stool may be omitted for this step.
6b) Your sandwich taste will vary depending on noises made during the punch. For the correct mild, salty flavor, pretend you are speaking politely to a postman.
7) Remove your fingers from the nails.
7a) If the sandwich fails to stay intact, your stool is of the incorrect lumber or varnish type.
8 ) Pull the sandwich from the ceiling.
9) Eat the sandwich.
9a) Sitting on the stool provides the best posture for digestion of the sandwich.
10) After eating the sandwich, wash it down with a cool glass of skim milk.
11) Put the stool back where you found it, and put the hammer and nails back in your workshop. Oh, that reminds me…
9b) Remove the nails before eating the sandwich.

First, you ride a pig.
Then you grab a giant “ham leg mace” in the one hand and a shield made of back bacon in the other.
Then you get someone else with the same equipment and have a deadly ham leg waking joust on the pigs!
When the brutal battle is finished and a victor has been named, you gather up the remains from the battle, an put them on a giant toasted bun.
It could be eating a 6 inch reuben while participating in a
demolition derby, or really any form of derby, really.

Two slices ham
1 sprinkle cheddar cheese

3) Place second slice of ham on top of the first.
4) Place American Cheese on second slice of ham
5) Place hot dog on top of cheese.
6) -Carefully- roll hot dog up into both slices. If using a paper towel, roll newly formed dohickey up in paper towel to help it stay together during cooking.

8) Place finished product on bread, place other half or slice of bread on top. Garnish with pickles if you like, ketchup definitely, or anything other condiments you think might be good.
