Can we have a sandwich thread? Hopefully talk about ones you haven't had yet but would love to try.

Lets start off with Cucumber sandwiches. I just recently read "The Importance of Being Ernest" by Oscar Wilde and these were mentioned in the play. So I looked it up and all they are, is just thinly sliced cucumbers on buttered white bread. Why would this be a symbol of high class? Were cucumbers expensive as shit in the Victorian age? In any case I never had one.

In Society fashion changes year to year. When cake was in those in the know would scoff at bread and butter for tea. When cucumber sandwiches were in a sweet tea would be considered low.

Take everything you mock about hipsters, multiply it by 100, and you have Victorian high society.

Not at all. That's just in Britain. No, most revolutions are the middle classes stoking the lower classes to fight the upper classes for them... then the middle classes take the place of the upper classes, the upper classes become middle class or flee the country/go into exile and the lower classes stay exactly where they are.
I recall reading an interview written during the Bolshevik revolution where soldiers of the rebel army were asked about their backgrounds and what they were fighting for. None of them knew that the revolution was to overthrow the yoke of the czar. This is also apparent in the contemporary works of Bulgakov during the revolution and of various French writers in the later 1700s during The Terror.
It's always middle class dupes lower class to fight the upper class so that the middle class can become the upper class and leave the lower class right where it was in the first place... until the next revolution.

The Edwardians circle-jerked over them more than the Victorians did.

It was less the cucumbers themselves, but it was something to eat while you took your tea that didn't fill you up at all. It was light, and just a nice snack to take, which is enough to take the edge off until large dinner parties.

You're not going to have a large afternoon snack if you're going to eat a several course dinner with 2 soups, fish, ect.

I'd hard for me to suggest a specific brand, because although I love tea I get really bad headaches whenever I drink it.

But you'll want something light, to match the lightness of the sandwiches, like you would want a more substantial tea to go with roast beef sandwiches.
You can always go the "contrasting" route when considering it, but that would be up to personal preference.

Looks just the opposite, to me. Cucumber was a perfect patrician vegetable for the times. It was exotic - a non-native plant introduced late in the 17th Century. It was light, so it couldn't sustain a workman, like kale or a potato could, but that made it a fine choice for people who ate four, sometimes five meals a day.

Cucumber sandwiches are a symbol of high class, putting aside afternoon tea as a symbol of high class, due to the skill required to thinly slice both bread and cucumbers. They're also delicious, mind you. Get the smooth cucumbers rather than bumpy ones, which should have less seeds.

No. CA is completely devoid of class. All the "fine dining" is about being the loudest, most boisterous restaurant possible, not about being refined.

Victorian chefs were highly prized for their ability to slice thin slices on the order of 10 mm width.

Even to this day chefs have a hard time doing this consistently and there are regular strikes against so-called "thin-slice restaurants" that only hire chefs with this skill.

Reubens aren't sandwiches. They are beyond sandwiches. The international culinary society decided to ban Reubens from the sandwich category because it would be unfair to discuss the superiority of various sandwiches so long as they had to compete with Reubens.

>all of the basic ingredients are the same but every place does it differently.

Rutter's (chain of gas stations that also does made to order food) has a really good reuben for $4. Good meat to sauerkraut ratio. I put jalapenos on mine, as suggested by a friend of mine from El Salvador.

I got a Reuben from a local bar/pub recently and it was just one thin sheet of meat and the rest was sauerkraut. Very disappointed. I know that pastrami/corned beef is expensive but don't even serve reubens if you can't handle the cost of the ingredients

I think the people who ought to be pissed off by this sandwich are the French, since it's a case of their former colonials borrowing French ideas and improving improving them.

The French like to think they've got everything worked out, but a bunch of jungle-dwellers kicked their ass on the sandwich front.

Cucumber sandwiches are glorious, particularly in summer. They are a refreshing sandwich. lightly salted cucumber, thinly sliced, seeds removed (and peels if they are tough or thick), on bread that has been buttered, or, if you really want to be fancy, spread with cream cheese instead. I like a light grinding of pepper on them too.

Mix the mayo with the black pepper on one slice of bread, mustard on the other.

ENJOY. Goes well with home-made wedges - salt+cider vinegar.

BUT
My favorite sandwich ever is whitebread, mayo, thick sliced homegrown tomato with salt and pepper, and a slice of sharp cheddar. It is not even worth making with a supermarket tomato, it must be a homegrown or farmers market hierloom

A good addition/little change up to a Reuben. You can still use the Thousand Island/Russian dressing, or you can leave it off entirely, but sometimes, try it with Horseradish sauce either i place of the Thousand Island/Russian, or in combination.

Horseradish goes great with corned beef. I've told a few people of this, and they like it.

Some people put Dijon or Spicy Mustard on it, so I don't see how Horseradish would be much different/outlandish.

I like it, anyway.

Let's discuss some of the more uncommon ones. IMO:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baked_bean_sandwich

Sounds like it'd be quick and taste good enough, but seems a bit strange. You'd assuredly have to toast the bread, or eat it open faced, otherwise I don't see it working. I've heard of Baked Beans on toast, but never as a sandwich.

Anyone had one? I am now compelled to try one. I think adding onion and tomato would be pretty good.

Cucumber sandwiches originated from british colonization of india. They were considered a good way to combat the harsh indian noon heat. They became popular there. Most of the people there were aristocrats, representing the top of society. Because they were popular with the aristocrats, the rest of society copied them.

They're bretty good really.

My pet peeve is food falling out of the bottom of a sandwich so I've been making more tortilla-based ones recently so I can have a secured end.
But, Tomato slices with pepper and pickled peppers (banana, jalapeno, whatever you like) is my go-to for something quick.
If I'm going to cook, I have a chicken BLT and put on some caesar salad dressing or anchovies.

I noticed this recently. Before, if I were using horseradish I would leave off other condiments. Mayo - waters it down. Mustard - changes the taste too much. Ketchup - I don't like ketchup so I don't know.

Then I was building a sammich at an order kiosk and selected some horseradish just for shitzengiggles and it turned out great. Gave it a bit of a zip without being overwhelming or having too much effect on the flavor of the other condiments.

It was a symbol of high class because they were consumed at low tea.

This was an afternoon gathering where small dainties were eaten and tea was drank. The whole point was to eat food which was not filling because you would be having a formal meal later on.

Only the wealthy who did not labour could afford to take the time to do this.

White bread was also very expensive as the automated systems used by flour millers had not yet been developed.

Cucumber sandwiches were also popular in the British Raj due to being refreshing and cooling in hot weather.

I went grocery shopping today and had a craving for several different things, so when I came home I made an epic sandwich.

> honey oat bread
> layer of mayo
> sprinkle on blue cheese crumbles
> layer thinly sliced cucumbers
> add pepperoni
> add sliced deli turkey
> add 4 thinly sliced pieces of jalapeño
> spread a thin layer of beer mustard on the other slice of bread and out on top of the sandwich.

Was pretty good. Any sandwich advice on how to use my blue cheese crumbles?

>Always wanted to try a monte cristo just because I've heard about them but never see them on menus.
Used to be why I'd go to Beningan's, just for that Monte Cristo (or the broccoli bites). I know from the few times I've seen them on menus that the interpretation of what exactly makes a Monte Cristo varies... the Beningan's style was a club sandwich, light-tempura-beer style battered and deep fried. It was served with raspberry jam and sprinkled with powdered sugar. The club was a double decker with a ham+cheddar and turkey+swiss distinct layers. Maybe someone else remembered the bread type. Anyway, it was purely light, melting cheese, but crisp and ungreasy otherwise to eat the bread and coating. A bit of jam on each bite helped the whole savory but sweet fun.

On other menus, it was more an eggy batter with a french toast kind of griddling, not frying. They usually messed up the interior too, making it too dense. I can always just dream of the best.

For some reason that reminds me of a vagina.

Also, I dont see why you would bother putting cucumbers into a sandwich. They don't have a very strong taste, so they don't add much to an otherwise complete sandwich. Also their small size and stiffness means they fall out quiet easily.

I wonder if they're good because of the crunch?

So on the subject of sandwiches, where's a good place to get really firm bread? I like bread that is very hard on the outside, but most grocery stores in America just have the typical soft white bread.

I'm 'murrican, and lived in France for a year. I fucking love a buck fifty baguette from almost anywhere in the town I lived in, and the cheapest shit was about as good as the best "artisan bakery" bread I've found in the States.

Despite how many other great food items you can find here, decent decent bread is far and few between (or however the expression goes).

My recommendation is to learn to make your own bread. Most of the recipes I've worked off of make 2-3 loafs, but go stale within 24 hours. So make sure you scale it down to what you will eat in a day.

>tfw you can eat god tier bread for every meal, for less than $2/day in france

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 26 19:23:01 2014 No.5139774 >>5139748 The reason the baguettes are so different in France is the flour. Most American bakeries use American flour so there is no way the result is going to come out the same. It has nothing to do with homemade vs. not homemade.

While flour surely makes a difference, the biggest thing I've noticed is that in the States a "baguette" is usually just a skinnier "Italian roll" (or whatever), which is soft and spongy the entire way through.

What I liked most about baguettes in France was the texture of the crust (really good crunch, but thin), and the inside (I'm forgetting the term - "m-" something; "mie"?), which was light and airy, but it was generally harder than a Vietnamese baguette (but just as good to eat a sandwich on for three meals a day).

In any case, I made a better baguette after my 2nd attempt than most bakeries do in the States, using run-of-the-mill flour, etc.

I find it interesting that you say that in the States, a 'French baguette' is just like a long soft roll. I only got it once so I doubted if it were the standard but I was definitely surprised how unlike a baguette it was. Could any Americans vouch for whether this is standard or not?

Anyway, I live in the UK and I can get a baguette for a buck fifty from the supermarket. I had imagined it being cheaper in France, though I would be easily convinced that the quality is better.

I'm the anon you're responding to.

Aside from having lived a year in France, I've also lived all over the US (not much in the South, but otherwise all over both coasts, and a bit in the mid-West).

In my experience that is pretty much what a "French baguette" is all over the place (aside from a random "artisen" bakery where a mediocre baguette costs $5).

I lived in France a little over 5 years ago (Dijon, if it makes a difference), and a fresh baguette cost between 1.5-2 Euros.

Good bread is one of the few places where I'm more than willing to admit that 'murrica is fucking failing when it comes to food/drinks.

I actually made the mistake of going to culinary school, and the guy I took baking 101 from was the guy in charge of a huge name brand, regional bread company out where I currently live, and he tough us to make awesome baguettes.

For a long time, land near the mississippi river was referred to as "the west" because, until manifest destiny, it was as far west as we would normally go.

Oh c'mon, it's not $5. A baguette is $3.50 or thereabouts, if not closer to the buck in stores that make it fresh all day as a loss leader item. Seriously, you haven't been "all over" like you say you have. Everyone who cares about bread makes it themselves at home, or buys from the local bakery that you couldn't find. Bread is on the way out. Gluten is bad, mmkay? How long has low carb been the thing? Two decades. The difference between Americans and your precious European comparison, is that they eat for enjoyment and for health, without the budget of just getting enough calories each day to survive. I've lived and worked in the top cities in the US, and there is absolutely no shortage of bakeries with good product. I assume you just didn't own a car or understand how to shop. Nothing is dying about bread quality, it only improves each year, but the consumption of it in a daily bread sense is a thing of the past.
