Hey! It's a very English/Irish thing, i'm sure, but cucumber sandwiches are still my go-to summer lunch. From when i was ten, my mom used to put me on the subway with a bagful of em (easy mayo, lots of pepper, 10x as good when they set up a little) and 80 cents, 15 each way to Fenway & 50 cents for a bleacher seat. I'd pitch peanut bags to customers for the old vendor (who'd been train porter for all the original HOFers backinaday) on Brookline Ave in exchange for a bag of my own, go in for BP, a sammy @ gametime another at the stretch. Why yes, i did live in the 19th C, i think.
I grew up poor and wouldn't eat cucumber sandwiches. We ate mustard sandwiches though.
Hot Brown is on the list and that cucumber butter monstrosity. So open face is cool. How many ingredients make a sammich?
Fwiw, I don't eat my bagel/lox sandwich open face, so most of what you're saying is gibberish to me.
It's always the people that are worst. Always.
"bread rubbed with cut tomato"?
If the meat is $200/lb like you say, they can at least throw the ### #### tomato slice into the sammy.
Yeah, when i was a kid we could only afford 3-ply sammiches. And we LIKED it!! heck, kid wont touch a Japanese wood sammich nowadays less'n it's 7, 8 even 12-ply.
Think the issue many have with the choice of Grilled Cheese as #2 is the cheese. The picture looks like American Cheese, which is not proper for this sandwich. Something like Pepper Jack is much better than Plain Old Ordinary American.
Yeah, like anything, the top stuff can get that high - its not all like that ...but think of it as special prosciutto."bread rubbed with cut tomato"?
i had some in Jerez once that actuallylitterallyvirtually melted into my tongue
Grilled cheese is good. A long way from #1.
