Came across this today, which seems like a quite valid variation. Not sure about the name, though.

In Canada it's racist and homophobic now if you don't preface your LGBTQ+ with "2S" for "two spirit". I think I left out an "I" (forget what it is for) too somewhere making myself a monster and moral leper as well.

Gawd! I can't help the suspicion that much of this is less in service of being inclusive of everyone and more about showing how hip & au courant one is.
Didn't watch the video because there is no way I'll sit through four minutes of someone being cute about lettuce & other aspects of sandwich making. (yes, watched first few seconds) Also, in general, what is the point of recipe videos unless they're for something exceptionally complicated like a strudel that serves 40. Even then, photos would probably serve as well.
But I digress ~ I assume the sandwich is some kind of blt with variations?
Friday I had to get up early in order to make many, many sandwiches to take to a wake. I didn't mind that except for having to cut the crusts off. Even though I used the good bread knife, it wasn't a very tidy process on the super soft Frankenbread I used.

Plus, we won't have to watch their lips moving as they try to read.

I've never either cut crusts off bread nor, as far as I can remember, ever been served bread with the crusts cut off. Am I missing anything at all?

They sell crustless loaves of bread here, and I presume they do the same in lots of other countries.

Probably missing the ability to drink tea with your pinky raised. But seriously, there is a practical reason for cutting off the crusts sometimes. I wanted the ingredients (ham and cheese) to completely cover the bread and for people to be able to pick up the sandwich halves (diagonal, of course) easily. Both those things work better without the crusts, plus the crusts are the part that gets stale more quickly when sandwiches are setting out. I never cut off the crusts at home because there is no reason. Since I don't like to waste, I turned all the crusts into French toast. The fact that crustless loaves of bread can be bought is amazing!

Quite common in the supermarkets in Germany as well. No idea what people use them for. I never bother.

In my mind, cutting crusts off goes with afternoon tea and cucumber sandwiches. The kind of thing we were told about in Home Economics class in primary school in 1960s Ontario. I have never done it and never imagined that crustless bread was sold that way. How do they bake it so there is no crust?

I just noticed that the crustless bread is from H.E.B., meaning that it's also sold in the US. Maybe it's for picky children (& adults) who don't liiiiiiiiike the crust.
My guess is that it's regular bread with the crust cut off, as I believe it's impossible to bake bread without a crust. If you expand the photo, you can see that the edges look exactly like bread with the crust cut off.
And don't let anyone ever say that we here on anyport are afraid to tackle the big issues!

I have never heard of the H.E.B. brand -- I just got the photo off the Amazon site. In France, every single company that sells American style bread also sells the crustless variety, even the cheap store brands. I would imagine that this is because, even though the normal loaves are used for toast or for finicky children who don't want a baguette sandwich, not to mention the expat community, the crustless stuff is ideal for making fancy canapés, which is a major food group in certain French circles.
