Bonus sandwich. Warm two or three falafel depending on size. Serve in a warm naan bread with humous (spread on the naan and sprinkle a little paprika), chopped black olives, crisp lettuce, diced cucumber and tomato with a single pickled chilli. Can also be made with chicken tikka pieces instead of falafel.
Excellent quiz thanks, but I am not confident here apart from the bonus sandwich which frankly is a two pointer.

Don't have a recipe, but either of these is probably disgusting to any non-American: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloppy_joe
or fried, sliced SPAM with American cheese on any kind of sliced bread with your condiment of choice.
@suzianne saidI nearly made a question about a "sloppy joe" but it was too unbelievable for non-Americans.

@handyandy said1000 island dressing, man.
d) 1960
3) 2 slices
D) Russian dressing
i) Cribbage
Note: A real Reuben has to be on rye bread. And Russian dressing is a must.
Maybe I'm from the wrong end of the country or something, but I've never seen a reuben without 1000 island dressing. I did choose Russian, tho, because it was the closest thing to it. And agreeing on the rye bread.
@wolfgang59 saidThere is also a "barbecue-beef" sandwich which is similar, using bits of sliced beef (or pork) instead of the ground beef in the same or similar sauce.

When the family had this for dinner, I used a fork to try and contain the sauce. I know this goes against the idea of a sandwich, but you try getting tomato sauce out of your clothes.

The perfect sandwich requires only white bread, a swipe of butter, mature English Cheddar and Branston Pickle. Any other sandwich is a pale imitation. (Indeed, points should be deducted from anyone tendering a different filling).
