wrap it in plastic and stick in your fridge for a few hours or so to fester and age a bit and let the bread get a bit soggy, that's the key ingredient to a prepack sandwich

put way more salt than you think you like in it and let it sit around for a week

>>14401326
I'll try that, thanks
>>14401335
>week
don't these sandwiches have a 3 day shelf life?

>>14401326
Another tip is to wrap it and place it between two heavy cutting boards to get all the ingredients uniformly pressed.

>3 day shelf life
10 days is typical.

Assuming you saw the bread slapping video, and on to helpful suggestions...

1. Your bread is too fresh. You NEED to unwrap your bread and let it sit on the counter for 2-4 hours.
2. Your texture will be different if you fill to the edge. Prepackaged sandwiches are rarely that dressed. You're probably putting on way more filling than the sandwich prepackagers do.
3. You NEED to wrap it in waxed paper and refrigerate for 2-3 days.
4. Your chicken salad is almost certainly too flavorful, made with high quality wholesome ingredients. Try again with generic or store brand alternatives. Not mayo, but the store brand "salad dressing" that is almost, but not quite, miracle whip.

kind of hard to force myself to get low quality ingredients, but sure I'll try storebought stuff instead

Or I could just gorge on the pre-packaged sandwiches all day. If only they were cheap....

Try MSG, they add a bit (or ingredients containing a lot of MSG like seaweed if they want to hide it from the ingredient list) in most of these products.

>>14401344
Yeah, but that doesn't stop them

Try doing it like this.

>>14401724
Oh sure but too bad I don't have a facility full of aged ingredients and machinery along with underpaid workers semi-assimilating the sandwiches with their bare hands

Ever read the ingredients on these sandwiches. The lists are like a mile long even though its just meat, veggies, bread, cheese. Very disturbing.

>>14401308
It's hilarious that this is a huge part of Bong culture. In the States, eating a pre-packaged sandwich means you have lost at life kek.
Enjoy your botulism.
They are made in simple factories by hand, just a bunch of Pakis making sanwiches, each worker does one step.
They are composed of 20% spittle and eyelashes.
Bongs have abandoned their delicious cuisine for curry and kebab slop, and artificial sandwiches inplastic kek

What the fuck are you on about?
Take your meds.

>>14401344
>don't these sandwiches have a 3 day shelf life?
Yeah, but that is due regulation. Not actual facts.
So long it contains enough salt, mayo and plastic wrap, its going to be fine even if the bread gets super soggy and stale after too long.

>>14401890
i must admit, i want to try it

So to all you down with the premade sandwiches, 711 tuna sandwiches are Kino right?

>>14401308
Don't use fresh chicken. Get chicken loaf and cut it into tiny cubes.

>>14401308
buy the cheapest ingredients you can find
add twice as much salt as you normally would
let ingredients sit out for a few hours, then put sandwich in fridge overnight wrapped in plastic

That's pretty much it

>aDd TwIcE aS mUcH sAlT
You guys are fucking stupid idiot morons what the fuck
Why not just eat salt with a spoon if you think that is what people experience when biting into these things

>>14401308
>How?
MSG

Do you want to eat this sandwich?

raw mackerel dipped in vinegar
Cucumbers, onions, and green shiso leaves
Mayonnaise, mustard

>>14402952
Yeah, I'd bury that if offered.

>>14401308
Use double as much mayonnaise as you think you'd normally use.

You just solved how to make food delicious

>>14402959
If you do that, they'll fight back.

>prepackaged sandwich.
Have you tried skimping on ingredients and acting surprised and full of indignation that someone would rob you while you sit in a car full of disappointment due to the life you lived up until the point you bought a prepackaged sandwich?

The lunch meat that grocery stores sell is nowhere near as good as the ones in those sandwiches.

>>14403106

Not that big of a deal, retard. Settle down.

>>14401724
>a jizz of mayonaise is squirted onto the bread

>>14401724
It took me 2 minutes to realize this was a parody.

>>14401890
>Bongs have abandoned their delicious cuisine for curry and kebab slop, and artificial sandwiches inplastic kek

This is unironically an improvement

>>14403172
I was ashamed of how long it took me the first time I saw it, but I'm sure I was at least 30 seconds quicker than you so I feel better now.

>>14401308
my hypothesis is the mayo, butter/marg other condiments, the cheese, pepper etc that they use are bulk buy caterer's choice that aren't typically available to the general public. I'm talking like 20kg tubs of mayo and butter bulk buy for making continuous endless sammiches. These ingredients make the difference and give the pre-packaged sammich that pre-packaged flavour and texture. Using brand name stuff yourself just isn't the same. Also if they're using a sammich making machine, then the quantities of said ingredients will be well measured and difficult to replicate by the untrained non-machine hand. There is also the level of refrigeration when you purchase the sammich. Store fridges are nowhere near as cold as your fridge at home, they keep things chilled enough to last until people buy them, but they aren't really designed for long-term storage of items because of the turnover of product. However, if you keep practicing anon, keep experimenting with all the variables you will get there. I believe in you.

That said, with some things in this world it is the experience of the thing that makes it great, less the thing itself.

>>14401308
Salt, PReservatives, and MSG

>>14401724
The part after 4:32m is comedy gold.

Salt, sugar, fat, and MSG are used by restaurateurs and processed food manufacturers in quantities that make most home cooks balk. That's why those experiences are hard to replicate at home.

>>14402952
yeah that sounds great, is that a trick question or something
