[edit] shitty picture
thats a terrible picture, its mostly fries. someone fix this, now!
Perhaps I am mistaken, but I have always understood that the canonical "club sandwich" contained turkey, lettuce, tomato, and bacon.
See, for example: http://www.foodtv.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_15658,00.html http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/SandwichHistory.htm

- There's now a better picture in the article, so I've removed the one with the fries obscuring the sandwich. boffy_b 18:52, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "General" Section
Most of the information here is so general as to be nearly completely useless. Fries are commonly served with many sandwiches, and parsley is a common decoration for any type of food. I also can't say I've heard of eating club sandwiches with ketchup. I'm skeptical that this happens any more for clubs than for any other type of sandwich. It'd also be nice to get a better photo; you can hardly see the club under all those fries. Pimlottc 13:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ingredients
The ingredients are almost universally turkey, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes, however, I have seen club sandwiches with ham and roast beef as well as turkey. I didn't really know if these are "true" clubs, or just some poor facsimile, so I included these ingredents as alternatives. Does anybody know for sure?
- In my (US) experience, those are the standard ingrediants. If there is a variance, it's most commonly the use of another meat instead of turkey, which is added a modifier to the name. For example, a "chicken club" would be chicken, bacon, lettuce and tomato. Pimlottc 12:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
I should note that it is almost universally served on three slices of bread. 67.136.242.106 04:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- This is also my understanding. It's also the most obviously visual distinction between a club sandwhich and other types. Pimlottc 12:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Does nobody think cheese is a common ingredient? I don't eat a clubhouse without. I have heard either way is still a club, anyone know?
[edit] Toasted
I noted that the bread is toasted when I edited the article. If someone wants to write a paragraph about how the bread should always be toasted, go ahead.
