Sandwiches

[kerouac2]

That's on the other side of the Rhine.

[lagatta]

Perhaps, but I live nowhere near either side of the Rhine. While agreeing that those sausages should not be overdressed, the sandwich with no sauerkraut or salad greens at all seems too dry to me.

BOSTON BAKED BEAN SANDWICH
Press cold baked beans through a colander, add two stalks of celery chopped fine, a teaspoonful of horse-radish, and a little tomato catsup ; mix and spread
on buttered slices of Boston brown bread, cover with another slice, and garnish with a radish and a pickle.

NEW ENGLAND SANDWICH
Mash beans that have been cooked well, add a dash of catsup, lay on a crisp lettuce leaf between lightly buttered white or brown bread. Garnish with
a pickle.

MEXICAN SANDWICH
Put large square salted crackers into the oven to heat. When warm, put on each cracker a large tablespoonful of baked beans that has been mixed with a
little catsup heated with butter and highly seasoned.

[kerouac2]

No amount of seasoning would ever hide the treacle of the baked beans to Mexican taste buds.

RICE SANDWICH
Creole rice may be shaped to a circle, in which make a cavity; leave this to stand in a cool place until firm ; when so, cut in half, horizontally. Spread peach preserves neatly on lower ring, mask well with syrup.
Put on the upper ring and mask well with the syrup.
Put in a cool place until ready to serve; cut V-shape and serve with unflavored cream.

POPCORN SANDWICH
Pass two cupfuls of freshly popped corn through the meat chopper, place this in the chopping bowl, add a dash of salt and cayenne pepper, five boned sardines, a dash of Worcestershire, and enough tomato catsup to form a paste. Spread this on circles of hot buttered toast.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and crisp in hot oven. Serve as soon as made.

DYSPEPTIC SANDWICH
Spread thin slices of gluten bread with peanut butter, mixed with crisp brown bread crumbs, put the two slices together, and cut in strips.

[kerouac2]

Shouldn't most of this have been posted in "food abominations" ?

[mickthecactus]

Catsup?

[fumobici]

Those "sandwiches" sound more like a sadistic torture regimen than something I'd want to eat.

[kerouac2]

Just the bread being used with those ingredients makes me shudder in spite of the fact that I make certain sandwiches out of the same bread.

My thoughts exactly.

(I can't help but thinking that Mark is "toying" with us).

My husband made a wonderful meatloaf a couple of days ago and I have been enjoying making sandwiches with the cold sliced meatloaf with a small dollop of Creole mustard on them.

[lagatta]

Oh, that is good. What does he put in his meatloaf?

[onlyMark]

Meat.

I'm afraid you'll have to blame Bixa as regards the above sandwiches.
Reply #150 has a link to a book from 1909. I have downloaded this as historical recipes are of interest to me. In looking for something else on my computer I came back across it. I thought I'd share some with you.

We are healthier in the 21st century, at least some of us.

Pinwheel sandwiches for kids parties or a bit of fun.

Remove crusts from 3 slices of sandwich thickness sliced bread.

Lay them end to end with a slight overlap. Moisten the overlap a bit and press with your fingers to make the slices stick together.

Spread the full length with cream cheese, then grated carrot and other salad shreds. Don't make it too high.

Gently roll the bread up into a "Swiss roll" then wrap firmly and refrigerate for an hour.

Cut across the roll into 3 slices...rinse and repeat. Kids usually enjoy creating their own mixes...bit like Mark's.

I feel as though I need to apologize to the world! I'd forgotten about that little book, with its mania for pounding fine, and crushing, and smooshing things through tiny holes and generally making sandwiches which are messy and make no sense.

Just looked & there is a recipe for an oyster sandwich which calls for cutting up raw oysters & putting them on white bread with some lettuce.

Questa, I never knew how pinwheel sandwiches were made, so thanks for that.

Can a taco be considered a sandwich?

[kerouac2]

Not according to the dictionary.

an item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with a filling between them, eaten as a light meal

However, you can sandwich things into a taco.

[lagatta]

Many sandwiches are made with one piece of bread, such as a bread roll. Can't that include folded flatbreads, whether they are wheat, maize or some other grain? A taco uses a tortilla...

[kerouac2]

If you keep nitpicking, I am going to call the sandwich police.

[onlyMark]

"Many sandwiches are made with one piece of bread, such as a bread roll."
Then it's a roll. e.g. ham and cheese roll.
Unless it is a cob, then it's, for example, a chip cob. Or a bap. If it is two slices of bread it can be called a sandwich or a butty..... or a sarnie. Though in certain circles a chip butty is also using a roll/cob. A bap is larger and more often softer.
Clear as mud?

"Can't that include folded flatbreads..."
Isn't then that a 'wrap'?

[kerouac2]

Actually, to make a sandwich with a baguette, you just split it open, so it is technically one piece of bread -- but it could be two if you cut it all the way through.

[onlyMark]

Still not a sandwich. It's a baguette, as in tuna and mayo baguette. It'd never be advertised as a sandwich.

If what you say holds water (which I know it wouldn't as it's bread) then any item split into two makes a sandwich. I object to that assertion. The food item is named after the form of bread.

Lagatta, he mixes ground beef and pork and in this particular loaf he added some ground veal. Added to it is one egg, seasoned bread crumbs, finely chopped onions, carrot, garlic, parsley and a small amount of finely diced tomatoes. I may be omitting something at the moment, I can't recall.

Here, we would call it a PoBoy.

In English obviously, but in French a baguette is the name of the loaf of bread. You have to call it a sandwich in French to avoid confusion.

What do you say in English if you are just buying the baguette in a shop?  (Or you just pick it up and don't call it anything... )

[onlyMark]

So on a menu you wouldn't see fromage baguette, you'd see fromage sandwich? If so, how would you differentiate between having cheese in different sorts of bread? You do have different sorts in France, don't you? It's not all baguette, is it? Do you have something like the pinnacle of breads, a Warburtons thick white sliced (called a Super Toastie)?

[kerouac2]

Yes, a basic sandwich in French means a sandwich using a baguette. Otherwise there is an additional designation like country bread, white bread, etc.

Just for idle amusement, here is a link to one of the main supermarket brands of sandwiches: www.sodebo.com/gamme/sandwichs/
Supermarket sandwiches tend to mostly use sliced bread because most baguette sandwiches get totally mushy when they are wrapped in cellophane.

I enjoy that the plural of "sandwich" in France is "sandwichs."
