LMAO at butter and cheese sandwich. Legitimately fucking hilarious.

I can't believe that's something people eat. Get some meat on there you hipster.

 

[Fat4all]

In Europe the ingredients are much better, so you don't need any of that additional crap.
Also you can't compete with our bread game.

 

[cyberheater]

The struggle is real.

It's the saddest sandwich I have ever seen.

 

[echoshifting]

Did this thread make anyone else go make a delicious American sandwich? 'Cause I just had a chicken/bacon/cheddar sandwich. It was delicious.

I'm rooting around my kitchen right now trying to figure out what I want to put on this roast beef

Is a cheesesteak considered a sandwich?

Also, anyone who has ever lived in the Southern US (specifically Louisiana) will certainly recognize this beauty:

Jesus Christ you guys. No wonder you can afford all these awesome social programs.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a better backhanded compliment. Getting all kinds of weird looks from people walking past my office. No laughing sounds, just hard wheezing and some high pitched whatever coming along with it.

 

[exmachina64]

AMERICANS CAN YOU CONFIRM YOU GUYS EAT A CAR'S WORTH OF RIBS?

Yes, had a portion that large for lunch.

 

[More_Badass]

As a latino, there's nothing better than a good pork sandwich or a cuban sandwitch

Although I'm partial to philly cheese steaks

Sounds good.

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

You shouldn't believe everything you see on TV

 

[Gorthaur]

This is a ham and cheese sandwich from the deli around the corner.

 

[Grym]

My kids have tried them. They are not a fan.

Yea. me either really (at least not the highly processed store-bought kinds). But there is a cheese specialty store that I know makes string cheese fresh in-house and they are delicious. Especially the "smoked' variety. Yum!

Better yet - is a burger a sandwich?

Is a hot dog a wrap?

What ingredients does Europe have that you can't find in the U.S.?

Let me know so I can point the three ships toward your coast.

Classic American macaroni and cheese according to the internet:

We didn't get this fat without a variety of cheeses to aid us.

 

[WarMacheen]

Butter and cheese...sandwich...lol

 

[Kacho]

That's not true at all. I buy great ingredients for my food (just as good as anything in europe). It all about how much you want to spend.

No. In America we only have Kraft Singles and Wonder Bread. There are no actual quality ingredients here. Trust me.

 

[besada]

That sounds good. I will have to try some the next time I visit the US.

Hit a Central Market. They make it fresh every day, and that picture I posted is their cheese section. You can get just about anything, and they also have fresh baked breads of all sorts.

Is a cheesesteak considered a sandwich?

by how Americans use sandwiches I guess so? I mean everything is a bun is considered a sandwich here. Which I found very confusing to me sandwiches used two pieces of bread and used to be very confused when I got burgers and subway type sandwiches when I ordered sandwiches. Guess its only of those things like how the American guy noticed everything is pudding in England.

 

[Dai101]

Butter tortillas are a awesome snack don't bash until you try it brahs.

Yeah, my poverty food ;-; .......... just add sugar

 

[Slayven]

 

[Fenderputty]

Low topping sandwiches I eat:

Patrami
Beef Dip
Prosciutto

Otherwise I generally have veggies with meat and cheese. Sometimes multiple meats. Swine with beef are great. Ham and roast beef as an example.

 

[Rose of Eternity]

Your ingredients are not better. Our nation is built on agriculture. We home-make everything. Our cheese is quality is amazing. Meat quality is amazing. Vegetable and condiment quality is amazing. Sauces and dip quality is amazing. The one point of contention you want to win is bread. But you won't. We make amazing break. Rye marble bread, rice flour topped bread, rosemary sourdough breads, bagels, rolls, and every kind of European baguette/croissant whatever in there. We don't even need to go to our dedicated bakeries. These are made in our local super markets, in a gigantic bakery, daily.

We destroy you in food. You just want to cling to the movie stereotypes (because you consume our movies too) and throw the predictable insults at us.

Now that wouldn't last long in my house. I'd eat them all.

Typical day would be oatmeal porridge for breakfast (milk + oats microwaved and then thisfr lunch. The struggle is real:

 

[Ledsen]

Well, now I understand the American outrage... sandwiches are not breakfast food over there. You learn something new every day.

In Sweden, sandwiches are something you eat for breakfast, alongside something else like cereal, maybe an egg, some coffee, stuff like that. You wouldn't really eat a sandwich as a complete meal unless you went to Subway or, indeed, if you ate a Räksmörgås like that one guy posted (and those only in cafées, you don't really make them at home).

To give you guys an idea of the context in which we eat sandwiches, have some breakfast pics:

What do Americans typically eat for breakfast then?

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Europe has nothing on the US sandwich game. Basically no one in the world does. Come and try some sandwiches in the US and you will have your eyes opened wide.

 

[D4Danger]

A typical British lunch.

stick some crisps in that and you're good

Also, anyone who has ever lived in the Southern US (specifically Louisiana) will certainly recognize this beauty:

ive had a couple and ive either loved them or hated them. Guess for this one really depends .. but then im up in Pennsylvania so guess maybe you could say the same for cheesesteaks in louisiana

Yeah, food descriptors is tricky business here in America. We love to classify everything and sub-divide it into when it's appropriate to eat. For instance, if I eat a cheesesteak for breakfast, that makes me a heretic.

Po Boys are excellent. Wish I could find a place that makes them on the regular in NYC.

 

[Jackpot]

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):

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

I think it's 8 bucks now

Pastrami sandwich from Katz's Deli in NYC

Sandwich thread? Sandwich thread.

I'm gonna send BritGAF a whole crate of Westside Monte Cristo sandwiches from The Melt in Cleveland.

Honey ham, smoked turkey, Swiss and American cheese sandwiched between two deep-fried slices of bread, sprinkled with powdered sugar. You'll thank me once the indigestion passes.

Whilst those do look very nice they just don't exist over here and would be seen as really OTT and gluttonous. A regular sandwich has a filling as thick as one slice of bread.

 

[E92 M3]

That's a sub.

What if the rotation is switched? Does it become a sandwich? It can be called a sandwich, all things considered.

We've got breakfast sandwiches, they're just called McMuffins.

You do realize we also eat those things for breakfast too, right? Eggs, sausage, eggs, waffles, pancakes, muffins, bagels, cereal, oatmeal, etc.

And sausage or bacon sandwiches too

 

[besada]

Yeah, Po Boys outside of Louisiana are a crap shoot. But I definitely wouldn't want to try the ones in states with no easy access to the ocean. Whereas in Louisiana, you get amazing ones even in little dive joints and side of the road stands. Shit, I want a Po Boy.

 

[Ullus]

Those are not sandwiches.

Yes they are.

 

[More_Badass]

Those sandwiches are OTT here too. Those are not normal portions. I'm a carnivore and meat lover and even that amount of meat is sickening

Now this is nice though

 

[Kacho]

What if the rotation is switched? Does it become a sandwich? It can be called a sandwich, all things considered.

If you put the stuffs on two slices of bread it becomes a sandwich for sure, or what the hipsters like to call a melt.

Steak & Cheese almost always come on a sub roll though so it's a sub all day every day.

 

[Ledsen]

You do realize we also eat those things for breakfast too, right? Eggs, sausage, eggs, waffles, pancakes, muffins, bagels, cereal, oatmeal, etc.

Ah, out of those things we would typically only eat eggs, cereal and oatmeal. Nothing cooked (except eggs) and nothing very sweet for breakfast.

 

[cyberheater]

It will be a while until I'm be in the US but i'll be in the south of France next week so am looking forward to some nice cheeses there.

You eat raw eggs?

 

[Kacho]

Dammit, now we're entering "Is sloppy joe BBQ?" territory. No it's sloppy joe. Quit making things complicated. Jeez!

 

[xsarien]

In movies and shows they always do these huge Subway-style sandwiches with tons of toppings. Never just a simple butter and cheese-type sandwich. Is this common in US homes? Another trope is people only eating a sandwich for lunch. I can't imagine how hungry you must be after such a meal! I know our Norwegian neighbours do this as well, but they're kinda crazy soooooo...

Hoagies/submarine sandwiches/heroes...They're pretty popular. And tasty.

Also: Just a sandwich is usually what I eat for lunch. But I'm a stupid light eater to begin with.

 

[Ledsen]

You eat raw eggs?

damn my ninja edit was too slow

 

[Alucrid]

We've got breakfast sandwiches, they're just called McMuffins.

It's sickening that people think these are "subway" style sandwiches. It's a crime against humanity that shitty chain hoagies are what the world is experiencing

 

[KenOD]

Yum, Greggs.

I must say I do think it would help for some cases, to know the difference between sandwiches for snacks, and sandwiches for meals. Toast with cheese, decent snack. Toast with melted butter, a snack. Toast with cinnamon and butter, a snack. Lasagne sandwich, delicious meal (when made by one's self or a good restaurant, not Tesco).
