For those ungrilled cheese sandwich people, do you eat anything else with it or is it just bread and cheese? No salad or fruit or anything? I'm trying to understand how that list considered a lunch. Is it only that much because of the copious amount of food you eat as part of your English breakfast?

I feel like we are both missing something here.

To Americans that isn't a sandwich at all. We might consider that an open-faced sandwich I guess, aka a sandwich that's missing the top piece of bread.

This is a fucking sandwich a ( a reuben):

Fuuuuuuuck....now I'm hungry for a reuben.

America this is why you are fat.

Bread makes you fat and the bread to other stuff ratio in our sandwiches is a lot better than yours so we logically eat less bread and thus are less fat.

*science!*

 

[Az]

What is up with all these US threads?

 

[Rayven]

I blame scooby doo for setting our unrealistic sandwich expectations.

 

[cyberheater]

And don't forget the plain white sugar sandwich for afters...

 

[brochiller]

There's a massive difference between good cheese on bread, and a slab of bland plastic American cheeze

This is terrible American cheese:

This American cheese though, I will happily put on my grilled cheese sandwiches.

Water with lemon too. Warm it up a bit so you feel full.

 

[Guevara]

What is up with all these US threads?

Euro-GAF mostly hears the bad stuff about America. They are shocked to discover we have some good stuff (mostly food, tbh) too.

 

[Poodlestrike]

That "sandwich" is almost as sad as a hotdog from Norway.

I remember that thread.

Man, that is such a struggledog.

[rokkerkory]

just put on honey mustard is all you need + siracha

 

[GasProblem]

stay strong EuroGaf!

Yeah, this is what I sometimes eat for breakfast/lunch. Just some bread with butter and old cheese.

 

[Grym]

Ameica has no cheese sandwiches because they don't really have cheese.

#notallamericans
As an American, I know cheese, and I know "American cheese" is a travesty

And for the record, two great cheeses (especially for grilling) were developed in America. Colby and Monterey Jack.

but you are eating more full stop ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

It's never a struggle with the Chow Mein sandwich. You can only add toppings.

Pepperjack is the best sandwich cheese, IMO. Melts well, very flavorful.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

America this is why you are fat.

I used to have cheese and marmite sandwiches as a kid. or cheese and ham.

Is that you in your avatar? Just wondering.

 

[cyberheater]

Sounds good.

On the other side of the pond. A small American sandwich.

 

[PeskyToaster]

cucumber sandwich and veggie sandwiches are very much real and very much delicious.

Although, i prefer the cucumber sandwich being on a bagel instead of sandwich bread.

Lalalalala I can't hear you through my hefty slices of MEAT

 

[Einchy]

Europeans eat like if they're Matt Damon stuck on Mars.

I'm going to donate you guys some real food.

 

[Crayolan]

This is a true American sandwich.

 

[LeleSocho]

I'm european and 99% of the time in my sandwich i put a layer of random meat cuts and a layer of random cheese, that's my normality.

no. its from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrbIzJRg3xk

You can't refute my science EuroGAF.

Our problem is more often a not moving problem than an eating too much problem.

I for one have gotten worse by having food delivered through my living-room window from postmates.

 

[Korgill]

As the grandchild of Norwegian immigrants, that's actually delicious. You are supposed to have crispy onions on it.

Here are the onions at Ikea.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

America plz. Lern how 2 bread

 

[User 406]

How has this assault on American values gone on this long without retaliating by blowing Europe's mind with our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?

Now I'm all hungry. I'm going to go make one right now, with a tall glass of milk.

 

[Zabka]

Here's a sandwich named the Bomb from a great deli in Astoria

I think it's 8 bucks now

 

[KorrZ]

Butter and cheese sandwich? The fuck? Grilled cheese sure I guess.

When I want a sandwich though it's minimum bread, cheese, meat, lettuce, condiments. Potentially adding onions, pickles, hot peppers, tomato etc.

 

[Hilbert]

My favorite sandwich. Sad part is I've never attempted it at home. Can they match restaurant quality?

Sometimes I will cook some corned beef, make thousand island, and grill up some rosemary garlic bread, and my wife and I will eat the most glorious sandwiches imaginable.

I highly recommend making your own.

 

[Einchy]

Sounds good.

Meanwhile in Europe a man shows his dinner for the next 2 weeks.

 

[Liamc723]

Bleh, salad cream? Brits make fun of Americans for our love of mayo but they literally put this nasty shit on everything.

You can take that back, salad cream is beautiful.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Ameica has no cheese sandwiches because they don't really have cheese.

We just get our cheese from places that have actual cheese

But actually yeah, when I was in Europe they seemed to favor sandwiches with far less on them.

 

[richiek]

Pastrami sandwich from Katz's Deli in NYC

It's this + all our food being pumped full of sugars, salts and high fructose corn syrup. We essentially eat candy disguised as other foods for every meal. Our diets are a fucking mess.

A peanut butter sandwich. Yeah.
A jam sandwich. Sounds good.

A peanut butter and jam sandwich. You dirty bastard.... I'm gagging here...

 

[Lucky Seven]

I put a fuckton of stuff in my sandwiches. But, then I wont eat anything else the rest of the day.

10 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT SWEDISH FOOD

Maybe if you guys stopped freeloading you could afford some plates.

You still tend to need a plate to eat many räksmörgåsar.

Yes, there's a piece of bread in there somewhere.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Why do people always assume Kraft singles are the only cheese Americans eat?

 

[mullet2000]

I couldn't imagine just eating cheese and butter on a sandwich for lunch, outside of a grilled cheese or something (But even then I'd have soup or some fruit as a side with it). That's a less than Dan-Ryckert-tier lunch, yeesh. Throw some meat or veggies on there at least.

 

[echoshifting]

Places like Tillamook, Oregon

 

[Dog Problems]

Maybe I'm using the word "sandwich" wrong but these are normal breakfast... things

I've seen prison food that looks more appetizing than that, lol.

 

[fastmower]

I love these threads.

 

[marrec]

It's this + all our food being pumped full of sugars, salts and high fructose corn syrup. We essentially eat candy disguised as other foods for every meal. Our diets are a fucking mess.

Except for our beautiful fucking sandwiches which are all cured meats and hot peppers and lettuce and bread.

Salts aren't a problem with American diets that's for damn sure, it's the sugar and carbs.

That said, that PB&J sandwich up there looks positively slutty.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Why do people always assume Kraft singles are the only cheese Americans eat?

Because Europeans are actually more ignorant of real US culture than the US is ignorant of European culture. It's the whole, they believe what the TV shows tell them kind of thing.

 

[Hilbert]

A peanut butter sandwich. Yeah.
A jam sandwich. Sounds good.

A peanut butter and jam sandwich. You dirty bastard.... I'm gagging here...

It is salty, sweet, and nutty. What's not to love?

A peanut butter sandwich. Yeah.

[triplestation]

sandwiches are boring

 

[ThankYouDaletech]

That's just eurogaf grasping at straws while their sense of superiority erodes in the face of the greatest nation to ever exist.
