This is from Julie R- WA, and it looks great and sounds like fun for the kids. After three kids sit on it, it might be a bit smooshed, but they will have fun doing it. It received great reviews. If you click on the link, you can look at photos of it. I bought a round loaf of rye bread instead of French.

Mom's Sit Sandwich Recipe #27931

From my Family Recipe Box, Mom loves this sandwich! "This sandwich is a 'smashing success'... in more ways than one. It's a great traveler." You must admit, it is pretty amusing. smileys/smile.gif From the Family Recipe Box, dated 3/1/85.

6 servings

2 hours 2 hours prep

1 large round loaf French bread

1 jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained,liquid reserved

1/2 cup mayonnaise

3 large tomatoes, sliced

3 ounces thinly sliced salami

1/2 lb thinly sliced turkey breast

1/4 lb cheese slices, any kind

1 (2 1/2 ounce) can sliced ripe black olives, drained

1 purple onion, thinly sliced

Cut loaf of bread in half horizontally and hollow out the soft bread from both halves, leaving a shell about 3/4-inch thick.

Reserve soft bread for another use.

In small bowl, combine artichoke liquid with mayonnaise and spread onto bread shells.

In bottom half, layer ingredients at least three times until mounded high, beginning and ending with tomatoes.

Place top half of bread over mound of ingredients.

Wrap entire loaf with plastic wrap.

This must be assembled at least 2 hours before serving, but can be assembled up to 8 hours before serving.

Refrigerate.

Before serving, place sandwich (wrapped in plastic) on a hard surface and SIT ON IT!

This smashes the ingredients together and makes it easy to serve.

Do not omit this step, strange as it seems, as this step is what makes the sandwich delicious.

Slice the loaf into wedges to serve.

LOL! I'm taking this with to make in Hawaii for the grandkids.

Should be easy enough to find the ingredients and put together in the hotel room. Then transport in our colapsable cooler. Fun!

 
When are you going?Alaska Air announced direct flights Anchorage to Hawaii,deals when they start up!

 
i was jumping up and down!! finally air miles for a direct flight---just 5 hrs away. woohoo. but

doesn't start till Dec9 from Anc and we're leaving next Sat(june9). Seattle starts in Oct. there were some great fares(159 one way), but I guess those were gone before the announcement even hit the airwaves.

 
The sandwich was a success and the kids had so much fun sitting on it.

They talked about it on and off all day. I used an oblong rye loaf, turkey, ham,turkey pastrami, pepperoni (someone at all of the salami), provolone cheese, marinated artichokes, tomatoes, sliced black olives and sliced red onion. We will definitely make this again, but with the strong flavors of the other meats, the turkey gets lost. I want to make a muffaletta and a tunaletta with this method.

 
Dawn, I'm so in awe that you can get kids to eat the stuff in that sandwich...it took me

YEARS of maturity to add capers and anchovy to my taste buds. And honestly, I'd already lost major body parts before I tasted quinoa.

 
I am constantly amazed by what they like to eat...

the two youngest love all things fishy, they will easily eat two cans of smoked oysters in a sitting, a basket of grape tomatoes, pickled onions, crazy stuff for kids.
We did a fear factor lunch last summer, and I was able to unload the can of smoked eel, which I bought on a whim, and the five-year-old asked if she could eat the rest of them...and she did.
My eight-year-old on the other hand picked out the tomatoes, onion and artichokes, and declared he liked the other parts of the sandwich.
