let me blow your minds again

this is how you cut cheese

All cheese? What about brie? You'd only get rind!

What you pictured is not uncommon in the US, but most households don't have that. TYpically, if you want sliced cheese like that you could go to to a Deli (a place that specializes in selling fresh meats and cheese) and have it sliced for you, but it's mostly mechanized now. Markets also sell sliced cheese like this:

My struggle breakfast of choice is a tortilla with peanutbutter spread on it and wrapped up.

It works.

...ew

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.

Son, your American meat is of such poor quality that the EU actually banned it. Not so amazing after all, is it?
Also you're at the mercy of the EU to ship some of our ingredients to you, so you too can enjoy natural goods or EU immigrants who show you how to make proper bread or cheese. If it wasn't for them you would still be eating generic white bread

*fist bump*

 

[Kacho]

What kind of butter do you use if it results in a soggy sandwich?

I don't know about him but I typically only use butter when I put butter on stuff.

Yes?

This also works, or you can go to a deli and order a pound of your favorite variety and they'll Pre-slice it.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Enjoy your prions EU gaf

 

[Pinko Marx]

English food is depressing af. Almost every other country's cuisine I can get down with but the English? Nah.

 

[CMojicaAce]

I like my sandwiches with ham, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and jalapenos.

Admitting you need help is the first step...

it doesn't have to be this way

 

[ReaperXL7]

Butter and cheese sandwiches here in the U.S are called grilled cheese. What that thing you posted looks like is something a homeless person might eat.

This is a real sandwhich

 

[daveo42]

You know people can eat other non sandwich things in addition to their sandwich?

Based on what I'm seeing in here, that sandwich is lunch.

 

[moggio]

Mmm a cold shredded cheese sandwich from a vending machine.

There's a thing called a cheese-grater, mate.

Is a Quesadilla a sandwich?

If so we need to let our Euro bros know about those too.

No, it's a cheese and pickle sandwich. The greatest of all sandwiches.

Nah, US meat just doesn't have the requisite 60% horse in it to be sold in the EU.

 

[JimJamJones]

Butter and cheese is not a real sandwich. It's bread with condiments on it.

SouthFloridaGAF can tell you about the sandwich of the gods - Laspadas' large Monster.

And yet you repeatedly come to our country just to eat Chipotle.

Pickles in a quesadilla, wtf.

Europeans in here actin like throwing some mayo and lettuce on a sammich is going "too far".
HAH.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

All these people confused over butter and cheese sandwiches, no love for Twin Peaks?

Baguette with brie and butter is divine. The irony to OP is I'm pretty sure it was Norwegians that gave the characters their intro to it xD

 

[CMojicaAce]

I could go for a torta right now. Mmmmmmmm

 

[moggio]

Pickles in a quesadilla, wtf.

It wasn't a quesadilla, it was a cheese and Branston pickle sandwich!

 

[panty]

Nah, US meat just doesn't have the requisite 60% horse in it to be sold in the EU.

You wish. Horse is actually quite expensive.

Worth it though as it's really good.

 

[CosmicQueso]

And yet you repeatedly come to our country just to eat Chipotle.

Welp. So much for that superiority.

 

[ReAxion]

Destroyed online.

 

[Jackben]

holy shit

 

[LyleLanley]

Well it is called the Kryptonite sandwich. I think most people buy one and split it between 3-4 people.

I meant more because the meat has kind of a weird color to it.

And yet you repeatedly come to our country just to eat Chipotle.

LOL, flying to LA and getting Chipotle.

 

[marrec]

Pickles in a quesadilla, wtf.

They seriously need our help.

 

[Kacho]

Maximum kek

 

[Supermanisdead]

Lmao, the America threads are increasingly nonsensical. Yes, it's normal for people, not just Americans, to put things inside bread to make a sandwich.

 

[moggio]

America won't even acknowledge the glory of the humble crisp sandwich:

Might have one now actually.

 

[Fourth Stooge]

The Marshall Plan failed. Win a fucking war for Europe, give them a bunch of money to get back on their feet...and the savages end up eating sandwich stumps.

And it's not just that they eat sandwich stumps... They're proud of their sandwich stumps. Like they did something good.

 

[LyleLanley]

Chips are good as part of a sandwich but it can't be the sole filling.

I thought the Geneva convention was supposed to protect against subjecting people to this kind of atrocity

 

[moggio]

There's butter in there too.

That's all that's needed.

 

[Schrade]

This picture 'bout made me choke while laughing. Superb!

 

[bluelightningduo]

You toss some peanut butter in there with the chips and you've got yourself a sandwich.

 

[redmetal86]

They don't know about that syrup sandwich though.

Butter and cheese sandwiches here in the U.S are called grilled cheese. What that thing you posted looks like is something a homeless person might eat.

This is a real sandwhich

Damn, it just barfed on itself.

Putting chips on a sandwich is actually really common over here.
By themselves....eh not really

well, there it is

 

[Dot-N-Run]

Admitting you need help is the first step...

I just had to check if this Wikipedia page was real. It is, sadly.

What's even sadder though is found in the BBC article in which the Royal Society of Chemistry discusses this tragedy of a sandwich.

The RSC's Dr John Emsley said: "You simply put a piece of dry toast between two slices of bread and butter, with salt and pepper to taste. I've tried it and it's surprisingly nice to eat and quite filling.

If I ever thought that way about three pieces of bread put together I would want someone to put me out of my misery.

 

[LyleLanley]

There's butter in there too.

That's all that's needed.

Nah, this is what a sandwich with chips should look like.

 

[JzeroT1437]

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...

If someone told me they were making me a sandwich and they came to me with two pieces of buttery bread with cheese in the middle, I would be disappointed.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I have been known to occasionally put chips on a sandwich or a burger. Sea salt & Vinegar chips on a burger is divine.

No, it's a cheese and pickle sandwich. The greatest of all sandwiches.

Quesadillas do not have pickles in them.

What the fuck.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

I now know if I ever drop one of my pieces of bread off a sandwich I can still call it a sandwich... And the floor is probably a sandwich as well then


Also try getting 2 pieces of bread
Some ham
And Doritios

Fucking rekt.
