Yes, that’s a nice one too.
I also liked the one my dad used to make for me for a quick lunch: similarly to French toast he’d dip a ham&cheese sandwich into a mixture of a lightly beaten egg and some milk and then pan fry it with a knob of butter until delightfully golden brown 
Could have been a mixture of French inspired fried sandwiches, like the croque monsier, but I remember that milk was being added which I don’t think a Monte Cristo uses. Anyway, I was too young to know what it was called, but I remember that it was tasty!
No egg or egg wash, if SBS Food can be relied upon. Add an egg on top to turn it into a madame.

Enjoy, what ever one calls it, - ham, cheese, white bread, butter, (egg), …… - a cardio special might also be apt. 
Sounds about right. Had them in southern US a few times, and were a blessed relief when in Mexico to take a break from the endless parade of corn bread and chili dishes.
I vote for a simple, old fashioned sandwich : Thin everything - buttered white, sliced bread, tomato, salad onion and cold corned beef, with a sprinkle of sale and pepper. Instead the array in the cold cabinet is focaccias filled with roasted veggies, bacon, sloppy tomato and every other conceivable thing a fridge holds. The last one I bought had slightly off roquette and oozed mayo.
That’s what I think of too, buttered sliced bread and thinly sliced fillings.
Quite different from the one in the photo which is from a sandwich chain owned by a direct descendant of John Montague, 4th Earl of Sandwich.
Reminds me of the cheesesteak in Philadelphia: scrumptious ribbons of beef steak plus Philly cheese, served in a freshly baked, crusty, baguette style bread
YUMMMM, I forgot about that one. I had it at the East Ferry Deli in Jamestown, RI. Gawd… many moons ago, now. I don’t think Bob made his own bread but it didnt matter, it was delish!
Dammit, now I am going to have to go hunting for a philly cheesesteak, and I bet theres nobody making them in Newcastle 
One can always ask. It might start a trend. The pub at Jesmond known for its burgers has always responded to one discerning customers requests to modify the contents.
I’d also settle for a hot chip butty with generous serve of spicy tomato sauce. Spiro’s - once at the Civic on Hunter Street.
Both can be home made, with a serve from the local chippy a short cut to the hard part for the butty.
Actually had my Philly Steak sandwich in Philadelphia during a tour of the East Coast in 2018. The place was just around the corner from Independence Hall. The Americans are very generous with food serving sizes and there was a lot of scrumptious beef in the sandwich, also served with crispy onion rings and golden chips.
STOP IT!
You’re all killing me here!
I’m practically STARVING!
Cold meat cheese tomatoes. Black pepper ground. Either toasted or un toasted.
I don’t think they are made the same anymore. As a kid, we made jaffles all the time when camping and they were perfect. A couple of years back I bought a double set. I just couldn’t get a descent jaffle out of it. Very disappointed. The bread kept sticking. Maybe they were cast iron back then, I don’t know.
Good old Vegemite sandwich
