I totally bought this book because of Sandwiches of History.
I've only tried a few of the recipes, though most of the fun is just reading through the ingredient list of the recipes.

Keith Tanner said:Based on the global and slightly confusing nature of the list, I figured it was not curated but compiled. And that seems to be the case - tasteatlas.com is a site that seems to catalog various food types, and on each listing is a reader rating. Sort by ratings and voila, there's your list.
If you want to know what all these various things are, just go to https://www.tasteatlas.com/sandwiches and click "best rated".
Oh yeah, sorting by "best rated" makes way more sense.
Top 10:
Well after going through the list the long way, there are a ton of basically the same things with slight sauce or regional differences. There are a lot of variants of pastrami, sausage, steak, and pulled pork sandwiches listed. Like a lot a lot.
But there are some real standout on there that I'm going to go after first and foremost.
Francesinha Link to recipe this is an elaborate, complicated, heart stopping mess. High on my list to try.
Jibarito is basically a steak sandwich with smashed, fried plantains as a bun. Sign me up as soon as I can find some plantains.
Mozzarella in carrozza is a deep fried grilled cheese sandwich. Simple enough, but that could be nice on a cold hungover feeling day.
The Spiedie, it turns out, is chicken souvlaki (the recipes I found use Mayo instead of yogurt but the same otherwise) on a bun instead of a pita. That's already in our dinner rotation, give it a shot. No idea why it's so high on the compilation list though.
Best sandwich ever?
Lobster roll from The Oyster Bar on Chuckanut Drive in Washington State.
I'd make an excuse for a motorcycle ride, cross an international border and go have a sandwich.
Stop at Rocket Donuts in Fairhaven on the way home.
Had a torta last night. Thought of y’all.
Aw, Yeah!!!!
Proof that when it involves some sort of meat between some sort of baked carbohydrate, the USA comes out on top! (Taking up a full 32% of the list)
Anyways, there's a small deli in Boise near the hospital that makes the best Rueben I've ever had. Stone ground mustard, two slices of swiss, an unholy pile of sauerkraut that is some how soft and crunchy at the same time, and almost 1/2 pound of pastrami on marbled rye that's been lightly toasted.
I'm hungry now...
No Broodwich?

And on an english language website, too - who could have predicted heavy US content ;)
So, who's working their way down the list? The site has descriptions of all the sandwiches. Go on a culinary tour of the world!
Also, this map on their site amused me.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
That does rather simplify things.
“Welcome to Earth, where we only have about 30 different things to eat.”

I dunno, I could see myself living on that diet :)
Any list that puts Muffaletas in 34th place can't be trusted
Bumping this back up for one of the best sandwiches, the "hot italian". Not just any hot italian, but a "bellini's" hot italian. Bellinis's itself closed up a few years ago after the new owners ran it into the ground faster than you can say "hey i wonder if the new owners will berk this up?". But, thanks to a bellini family connection, the original sandwiches are re-created at "wrap it up" in downtown deland. And its just as good as i remember. David, you're gonna have to give this one a whirl.
Is a gyro a sandwich? Well, either way, it was delish.
Last night’s dinner from Orlando’s The Greek Corner.

Infinite bonus points for the squeeze bottle of tzatziki.
In reply to JG Pasterjak :
The whole meal was (as usual) A+. Plus last night it was nice enough to dine outside.
the chivito from Uruguay, minus the lettuce and tomato because I don't have any
Bottom bun, bacon, steak, ham, mozzarella then broiled, over easy egg, I used canes sauce but traditional is ketchup and mayo, top bun.
Supposed to be a ciabatta bun, nobody had any, so I used Italian semi hard rolls.
Freaking spectacular. Very protein forward, but a great blend of flavors.
I know we have discussed this icon elsewhere but sharing it here: the mammoth Hawaiian Hot Butter Chicken Katsu from Sweet and Salty Island Grindz at Henry’s Depot in Sanford, Florida. It’s the size of a baby’s head.

I gotta try one of these at some point. I'm not usually a "starch as a condiment" fan, but something tells me this works pretty well.
In reply to JG Pasterjak :
Yes, I can confirm it's delicious. I wouldn't consider myself a fan of macaroni salad, but it works so well with the sandwich.
I had Banh Mi for the first time last week.
It was just ok.
It was like Subway but more expensive.
In reply to ShawnG :
We have a little Banh Mi shop/deli in downtown Kitchener that is pretty good. Sandwiches are somehow still around $6 so you can just get two if you're looking for more (or grab some spring rolls). It's been too long, I should go for a walk and grab one soon.

pronounced "EURO" like the money, not gy-rho like a gyroscope... or Gear-oh
just like Porsche has an "ah" sound at the end...
based on the fact that the maxwell street polish made the list, i'm going to assume that a hot dog is in fact a sandwich, i have to ask the most important question
ketsup on a hot dog? no or heck no...

Then you either have amazing subways or amazingly E36 M3ty Vietnamese places.
