sandwich

A sandwich is a food typically consisting of vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread, or more generally any dish wherein two or more pieces of bread serve as a container or wrapper for another food type. The sandwich began as a portable finger food in the Western world, though over time it has become prevalent worldwide.
Sandwiches are a popular type of lunch food, taken to work, school, or picnics to be eaten as part of a packed lunch. The bread may be plain or be coated with condiments, such as mayonnaise or mustard, to enhance its flavour and texture. As well as being homemade, sandwiches are also widely sold in restaurants and can be served hot or cold. There are both savoury sandwiches, such as deli meat sandwiches, and sweet sandwiches, such as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
The sandwich is named after its supposed inventor, John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. The Wall Street Journal has described it as Britain's "biggest contribution to gastronomy".

    Do you ever put herbs in sandwiches?

    I was thinking today that I don't think I've ever put herbs in a sandwich. But why? I put lettuce leaves, raw spinach leaves, micro greens etc in sandwiches, so why no herbs. I was particularly thinking of coriander leaves as I happen to have some to use up - it was then I realised I'd never put...

    An Authentic Philadelphia cheese steak sandwich contains a bread roll (which I have omitted because I'd prefer lettuce...), thin-sliced or chopped ribeye steak, and (usually) Provolone cheese. The sandwich is a "trademark" in ways of Philadelphia. I have yet to eat a genuine one, though I've...

    Ground meat salad sandwiches

    Recipe Mumbai style sandwich

    I've been interested in the number of Indian dishes using bread (as in the sliced kind we use in England rather than the specific Indian breads). The Mumbai Sandwich is one of many I have been meaning to try so no excuse with the bread challenge. So, I was about to go on holiday and did not...

    Tuna Salad Sandwich Problem

    I tried making a tuna salad, haven't made one in several years, and the next day it was soggy. Looked like it was separating. Liquid in the bottom of the bowl. Any idea how "not" to get this problem? I rinse and dry my tuna, drain the relish, pat the relish with a paper towel to remove any...

    Toasted sandwiches/Jaffles

    Do you make toasted sandwiches or 'toasties' (known as jaffles in AUS)? I was reminded the subject by a post from @Frizz1974 here. Perhaps you have a toasted sandwich maker? They used to be a very popular gadget in most households here I seem to remember and I have one tucked away somewhere...

    Your sandwich of the day.

    Sausage Sandwiches

    Although hotdogs are sausages, I'm asking about other sausages here, like Italian, German, bangers, etc. I like grilled Italian sausage with grilled bell peppers and grilled onions. I also like the version where the sausage, bell peppers and onions are cooked in a marinara sauce, which is...

    Recipe Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich

    With all the Chicken Sandwich Wars in mind, I couldn't resist making my own dent in the mêlée. Another camera shake image reflects how my battle got a bit out of hand. I suffered lots of interruptions while oil was heating at 375 degrees. Cooking chicken breast breaded was a bit new to me...

    Chicken Sandwich Wars

    I was struck by recent TV commercial here in the US pushing chicken sandwiches. One of them, Jack in The Box, had Martha Stewart pushing their ads and pulling the nose off Jack. I researched and found that yes, there is competition for this segment of the fast food market as Chicken...

    Building a Sandwich

    Are you picky about how your sandwich is built? I am. On one slice of bread I want a lot of mayonnaise. On the other slice I want a little mayonnaise and mustard. The type of mustard depends on what goes on it. I use Dijon, Creole (whole grain) or plain old yellow mustard. I like a warm...
