no, I want to, but have no idea how I would even begin to eat that

Oh, I had no idea what that was and had been wondering if it related to the comic character >_>

And no, those look dangerous.

tbh, still not as bad as a Scooby or Shaggy sandwich.

They are a challenge to eat, but I have done so and survived.

Did you need to dislocate your jaw first?

No. I don't think 3 or 4 meats, and some cheese and veggies would qualify.
---

I've never heard of it, but I wouldn't even want to try because it is too thick. It's too hard to eat, and contains too much food. I get sick just thinking about it.
---

No.

The closest I ever came was Arby's meat mountain which still falls far short of the Dagwood.

I voted yes, because I have made a mountain sandwich a few times. These sandwiches included the following. You may judge if that makes it a Dagwood or not.

Meats:

Ham (black forest and honey).
Salami
Pepporoni
Roast Beef
Bacon
Chicken

Cheeses:

Provolone and Swiss only.

Veggies:

Tomato's
Onions
Pickles
Lettuce
Olive slices.
Bell peppers (green and red slices)

I like to go simple on the toppings with just a bit of pepper and spicey brown mustard (on both sides of the bread).

When I would make these (been many years, I used to be able to eat unlimited food and never gain a pound till I turned 27), I would use a french roll since it contained the sandwich the best. I did not put any bread in the middle, as it was already huge and hard to bite into.

That being said, if made right the combination of flavors are pretty amazing. I still do a toned down version including 1 type of ham only (usually ham of the bone now), Salami, Pepporoni, roast beef, and usually just swiss cheese. I also only put a few slices of each in the sandwich (basically 1 layer), so it's not really that huge anymore (just use the fransico's french rolls which are not that large.

Still use tomato and lettuce, usually skip the rest of the veggies now though (occasionally if I have some extra I put bell peppers in mine still.

Anyway, those sandwiches rocked, but I doubt I'll ever have one again.

Oh and sometimes I would put bbq chips in it as well, forgot about that. It's good for the crunch.
