    OOOHHYAAA! Girl you are talking my kind of sandwich! In my lifetime I have gone with my parents to pick tomatoes for canning, freezing and anything else you can do to a tomato. We took a loaf of bread, water, cooler and mayonnaise and had our first sandwiches in the field because we couldn't wait. Oh! Forgot to mention the salt and pepper. You ENJOY yourself babygirl! God bless!

      Loved BLTs for dinner heavy on the tomato. Every Diner every mom and pop lunch place every place I went Long Island New York have BLTs for lunch. Then I moved up north to New Hampshire BLTs abound. I think BLTs are an American Dream lunch. Just make sure the bacon is not too greasy

    I toast my homemade bread. Spread Mayo, sprinkle with salt and generously ground black pepper.
    Your channel has inspired me to grow a garden. So far I have enjoyed fried green tomatoes, and cucumbers. This afternoon will be my first tomato sandwich of this season. Thank you for taking the time to produce this channel. I am a newer gardener and I have learned so much. I have gardened in the past and had such sad experiences that I had about sworn off from ever gardening again. This new knowledge that you have taught has given my hubby and I so much encouragement. I have never had results like this year. Thank you!

    I grew up in Brooklyn NY, my grandparents lived on the next block. If you’re Italian, even if you live in the city you grow stuff. My grandpa grew amazing things in his little backyard every summer. I can remember picking a juicy ripe tomato, wiping it off with my shirt and eating it right there in the garden. Heaven. Such wonderful memories.

    My grandmother was Italian so tomatoes were her passion! When she would come visit me for a week in the summer, I would bake bread and oftentimes have homemade mayo, tomatoes and thinly sliced cucumbers and grandma always wanted mozzarella cheese too. Such a great memory, one of my favorite sandwiches and definitely her favorite sandwich, always made her smile. She would always tell me that I took after her father who was a truck farmer and loved gardening. She was so proud that I love Veda to garden. ❤️

    I totally understand and am so with you on the importance of memorializing the first proper tomato sandwich of the year. It's is a diving gift. I am so happy for you. Eagerly awaiting our first tomatoes, though we're nearly a month away here in Washington state. Though I grew up farming and always grew tomatoes for friends and family , I am just now at 31 years young coming to appreciate the magistracy of the home grown tomato. Like you, I will only accept the divine fruit of the homegrown tomato. There is nothing in this world like a juicy BLT or some fat slicers with good balsamic vinegar and a little salt. The most divine salad. Cheers, Jess. You've earned it!

    Put the toasted side of bread toward inside of sandwich so things don't slide around. Those dark green beet tops add a nice freshness. The cucumbers crunch and light flavor help with the fatty mayo not overwhelming. The bacon/ham in the mayo,,,,if not a meat eater, could do avocado in its place.
    When you have this simple country lunch you know it's going to be a great day!!!!! Jess, you opened up many peoples eyes to why gardeners do what we do.

    I was introduced to the tomato sandwich while doing an internship in Turkey. I frequently had them for BREAKFAST. A nice bakery style roll (like a tiny loaf of Italian bread), with whole salad-sized tomato, sliced and shingled with sheepsmilk cheese (kinda like feta) and a whole, long, skinny, green chili. sometimes the chili was mild, sometimes it was a raging inferno. Who doesn't want to play Turkish Roulette for breakfast? Now that I'm home in Pennsylvania I'll use whatever type of bread I have, whatever tomato is ready and feta cheese and salt. p.s. your tomato-ness is such an inspiration! I'm watching your old videos as I prepare for this year's garden.

    So many comments and the conversation continues...Like other posters, I teared up while viewing this video! We LOVE tomato sandwiches in our family--so much so that I am doing an experiment. I have kept 2 Golden Jubilee tomatoes and 2 of my volunteer cherry tomato cuttings alive ALL winter (in my bathroom), just so I can have a head start on our tomato harvest for the year--I hope it works...I don't eat grain anymore, but I make my own Cashew Butter bread, toast it, add a swipe of mayo, salt/pepper, and whatever tomato variety I choose from the garden, and wander into my blissful 'happy place.'

    I love how the yellow, white and dark red flowers on the table match the colors of the tomato, bacon and mayo :D

    The smash down is a real thing after being made and before the first bite! My favorite too.

    Definitely going to try this, it might not be a tomato sandwich if I add avocado but I love avocado with tomatoes on sprouted grain bread with a gooood rich olive oil, coarse salt and pepper 🥳 yum!!

      Our Dr. Whyche and Kellogg breakfast tomatoes have ripened! I made this comment last year, you inspired me to garden from seed and to trust God. Let me tell you God was with me and my family at every step, miracle after miracle. God gave grace and strength to hold onto Him, even when we wanted to give up, even in the small things, honestly He encouraged us not to give up on the tomato plants that looked so limpy and pathetic as I hardened them off and transplanted them. In June they were growing, had flowers but mostly leaves and no fruit. We prayed with faith as small as a mustard seed and now, glory be to God, there is so much fruit and they tastes SO GOOD! Thank you so much for sharing, for being an inspiration and sharing the light of Christ, God is doing a tremendous work in you and your family, you’ve planted seeds of hope in others including me. In this process my faith in God is being strengthened and renewed, He’s teaching me so much and I still have much to learn in this adventure with Him. I didn’t know just how much He cared and that God actually does see me, as crazy as it sounds, in this process I’m learning of His faithfulness and loving kindness. I really want to thank you Jess, you are a blessing. 💗 May God bless you and your family in Jesus name. 💕

    Lately, to the mayo, (I like alot more), & salt, I add freshly ground black pepper, fresh purple basil from my garden, & balsamic vinegar with a touch of olive oil; words do not suffice! And have we ever got a long growing season here in Georgia. I've been on this beautiful earth for 66 yrs & a tomato sandwich may be my top favorite treat! It's simplicity adds to the wonder of it. (I keep wanting to write that it would be my last meal request if I was ever asked~ lol!)

    Looks delish! I’m from Canada and I grew up eating tomato and cheese sandwiches (my mum’s English and it’s what she ate as a kid). My garden tomatoes are in the budding flower stage; it’ll be August before I enjoy my labours, but enjoying living vicariously through you and your sandwich! 😋

    Thank you Jess. Bless you!! 🌈❤️

    Beefeater. My Grandmother bought some roadside and I Loved!!! them so much.
    Watching your videos finally got to me and I'm waiting for my garden beds (3x6 bags) to be delivered (Saturday!! So excited) It's a late start but I can hear you encouraging me lol. Have Beefeater seeds to start (need to find video on them) Excitement turns to worry, but I'm pressing on. Worst case, I learn something to insure they grow next year, but oh, how I hope and pray for some this year. Thanks for sharing!!! So grateful ❤️😊❤️

    Yumm. Love tomato sandwiches. Honey wheat bread, miracle whip, salt and pepper and a big slab of tomato. I have been picking cucumbers this week and watching my green tomatoes. They are starting to turn whitish, it won't be long. Can't wait.

    I'm an Okie who has lived in CA most of my life, but it was my OK grandmother who introduced me to tomato sandwiches. I like mine on untoasted white bread with lots of mayo, several thin slices of tomato topped with kosher salt because it makes the sandwich juicier and more tomato-y. I, too, don't eat any tomatoes that I haven't grown. The last time I did, I swore of even the heirloom tomatoes in the store because they didn't have that sunshiny flavor I love.
