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".

    Review Toasted Sandwich Maker

    Sharp KZS 70 W Toaster Sandwich Maker Bought this on impulse about 2 years ago and probably used it 4 times. Not a lot to say about a toasted sandwich maker really. Unfortunately the 120mm x 100mm Teflon coated “trays” are not removable for cleaning and are just adequate for small loaf slices...

    Sandwich meat

    What is your favorite kind of sandwich meat? I used to buy a whole bunch of the cheap national brand meat because I have to make about 4 lunches everyday, but since the kids are on spring break, I decided to purchase some more expensive deli meat and smoked gouda to go with it. I am hooked as...

    Fried Eggplant, Tomato and Bacon Sandwiches

    Eggplant was on sale at Kroger, so I picked up a couple. I sliced them thinly, dipped in a milk and egg mixture, then coated with a flour/cornstarch mixture, and lightly fried them. I had already cooked up some bacon, and I sliced up some Roma tomatoes, toasted the bread, and slathered it with...

    Do you like Manwich?

    Okay, so today I cooked up some Manwich for my hubby (as per his request), and joined him in eating one of these. After a couple of bites I could not stomach this any longer, it was too sweet and not quite flavorful at all. I felt like I was eating some amateur cooking. My husband really...

    Fancy grilled cheeses

    I love a good old grilled cheese sandwich - to me it's just one of those comfort foods that you can't really go wrong with. When I was younger, I would always have them just plain - cheese, bread, butter - but as an adult I like to "fancy" up my grilled cheeses. Lately my go to has been pesto...

    Cucumber sandwiches

    Cucumber sandwiches were - indeed, still are - seen as a teatime delicacy for the rich and aristocratic. Why, I wonder, should this be? Cucumbers are not exactly expensive. I daresay that they were, when first introduced to Britain, pretty costly, but certainly not these days, yet the cucumber...

    Sandwich making (not really "cooking" but still food prep)

    Okay, so sandwich making may not technically be considered cooking, although some aspects of it may be (grilling, toasting bread, searing meat, melting cheese, etc.). Still, creating delectable, appealing, sandwiches is a bit of an art form, if you ask me. So, tell us about your best sandwiches...
