I’m not sure what you mean by this.All I know is most of you have never had an authentic roast beef sandwich![]()
I’m not sure what you mean by this.
I am being facetious (thus the smiley face). But I am joking about North Shore Roast beefs (which you can get in areas around Boston----largely a small area North of Boston though they can be found in other spots). If you grew up on this sandwich and ask for a roast beef sandwich anywhere else, you will get something different (if you are unlucky you will get sliced roast beef cold cuts on a roll, if you are lucky you get some regional hot roast beef sandwich). I actually wrote a short blog about it which kind of explains it (though take with a grain of salt as it is just one person's perspective from the area): STRANGE WORLD NEW ENGLAND: ROAST BEEF
I used to work at a roast beef place and am not even sure how it’s seasoned but relatively simply I think. In terms of cheese I think it’s usually American. It isn’t particularly gourmet. Definitely not fancy. This is Boston peasant food. In towns just north of Boston these roast beef shops are everywhere (so I think there is the competition thing mentioned about New York going on).That looks pretty good, though not quite enough detail to know what’s really going on. I mean, what kind of cheese? What’s in the tangy sauce? How is the roast beef seasoned- simply (S & P and not much else) or fancy (with additions like rosemary, sage, thyme, and so forth).
I’ve had other hot roast beef sandwiches from a variety of culinary tradition, including Vietnamese, Italian, Mediterranean/Arabic, and Creole, and some seem very close to what you’re describing.
You can mock it Sir. That only makes it strongerRoast beef with American cheese? You are right, I have not had authentic roast beef....
Swiss, cheddar, provolone and blue cheese are common partners with beef, but American cheese is one of the classics, too- typically on cheeseburgers.Roast beef with American cheese? You are right, I have not had authentic roast beef....

And to clarify it isn’t processed cheese like craft singles or something. It’s real cheese
According to the Standards of Identity for Dairy Products, part of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), to be labeled "American cheese" a processed cheese is required to be manufactured from cheddar cheese, colby cheese, washed curd cheese, or granular cheese, or any mixture of two or more of these.[5] The CFR also includes regulations for the manufacturing of processed American cheese.[6][7]
Because its manufacturing process differs from traditional cheeses,[8] federal laws mandate that it be labeled as "pasteurized process American cheese" if made from combining more than one cheese[9] or "pasteurized process American cheese food" if it contains at least 51% cheese but other specific dairy ingredients such as cream, milk, skim milk, buttermilk, cheese whey, or albumin from cheese whey are added.[10] Products that have other added ingredients, such as Kraft Singles that contain milk protein concentrate, use legally unregulated terms such as "pasteurized prepared cheese product".[11]
