John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, is credited for creating the sandwich we all know and love today in the 18th century. He spent so much of his time playing card games with his guests that this caused his rule to be ineffective. When it was time for a meal he didn’t want to stop the game, so he would have his butlers serve meals for him and his guests of meat between 2 slices of bread, that way the cards wouldn’t get soiled with grease or juice from the meat. The concept of the sandwich spread and became popular among Great Britain’s social elite, where these would be served in gaming get togethers

The club sandwich was invented in the 19th century with the same idea in mind. These were served in social clubs in New York, notably the Union Club of NYC and at an exclusive gambling club in Saratoga Springs

So this goes to my question. Before the time of Mountain Dew and Doritos, was the “sandwich” the original “gamer” food?

Sounds like it, interesting piece of history.

I ordered a club sandwich, but I'm not even a member. I like my sandwiches with three pieces of bread. "Well, so do I!" Then let's form a club. OK, but we need some more stipulations. Instead of cutting the sandwich once, let's cut it again. Yes, four triangles, arranged in a circle, and in the middle we will dump chips. How do you feel about frilly toothpicks? "I'm for 'em!" Well, this club is formed.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

I had a stick of CareFree gum, but it didn't work. I felt pretty good while I was blowing that bubble, but as soon as the gum lost its flavor, I was back to pondering my mortality.

He didn't invent it, though. The concept was already floating around, and he likely copied it. He just happened to be a person of some influence who came to be known for doing it often, so became the namesake.

I like the public hot tub at the hotels, the whirlpool. I like to go there when there's a guy in there already and say "Hey, man, you mind if I join ya?" And he says "no." Then I go and I turn the whirlpool heat up. Then I come by and I add some carrots and onions... then I say "Hey man, just simmer for ahw-I mean, sit there."

Let's look at the humble club sandwich

Three pieces of toasted white bread. Need that extra step of crisping the bread so it will not leak.

The meat. The club offers the perfect meat for the customer. Ham, Turkey, Roast Beef. That is not including crispy bacon on all of the above. Notice the thickness of meats. There is no (((accounting))) department running the kitchen on portions.

Lettuce and tomato from local farms provide the roughage and delicate flavors of nature. By adding the tomatoes and lettuce on the different sides, it prevents drips while playing cards and discussing your poor performance on the golf course earlier.

We dress it with only the best mayonnaise whipped up daily. This improves the richness overall and also keeps dark people out of the club who cannot understand fine dining.

To keep social etiquette intact, the humble toothpick is used to provide a stable platform yest a gentleman get tomato stains on his evening wear. The added colored cellophane is to show the club's commitment to aesthetics than a simple stake.

You see, we developed the club sandwich as an elegant solution to hunger. The ingredients are top rate, the preparation requires extra time. This is a sandwich for the afternoon or late evening after conducting business. It's heartiness allows for leisure to continue and business to continue through social interaction of the community.

The club sandwich represents an era where men took pride in their work. Where a cultured hard working man would be welcomed into the club with open arms and a sandwich prepared for nobility lets Cicero's new man discover the superiority of the country club, and it's signature sandwich.

Therefore, burgers and hot dogs are not sandwiches.

>> No.14483094

>>14482908
I can see how you might think that way with hotdogs, but burgers are definitely sandwiches. A bun is bread, and when you cut it in half, you now have two slices of bread with which you sandwich the meat and toppings.

Two halves of a bun is not two slices of bread nor even two slices of bun.

I am not. Slice in this context is recognized in a colloquial sense, not as a strict geometric definition. Cut a loaf of bread in half and see how many people consider those halves to be slices.

I had a bag of Fritos, they were Texas grilled Fritos. These Fritos had grill marks on them. They remind me of summer, when we used to fire up the barbecue and throw down some Fritos. I can still see my dad with the apron on. Better flip that Frito, dad, you know how I like it.
