Felt like I needed to represent a Belgian specialty in this thread

It goes by the name of "mitraillette" (machine gun). It's freedom on bread.

Wrong. So wrong. I like that you guys are trying, at least your head isn't in the gutter like Sweden and Norway, but you can't call that freedom on bread.

 

[everyday math]

Sprinkle some cinnamon on top of that and thank me later.

MmmmmmmmmmMmmmmm

I have a PB&J sandwich and maybe some pretzels for dinner quite often. I eat like a child. Sadly, my metabolism is no longer what it was when I was a child. It's rare that even if I were to make a sandwich with some meat in it that I'd do many ingredients other than that and mustard. Too much effort.

 

[commish]

This.

I'm consistently surprised that a region of peoples who claim themselves so highly educated -- the Europeans -- are so inept at understanding the basics of different worldwide cultures and how different cultures have food traditions different from those in Europe. The European ubermensch would be quick to defend, say, ritualistic slaughter in the wilds of some lost continent, and yet, the thought of putting lettuce, tomatoes, and meat between two slices of bread renders them aghast. "Well surely you know the civilized way to enjoy bread is with a slice a toast betwixt it? Our good queen did decree in the 2nd millenium of our Lorde that this shall be titled THE JOLLY SANDWICH and all those who do not enjoy its lustre are nothing but pygmied aborigines!"

lol herd u canadians drink everythin in bags

Haha, yeah. I'm a little shocked at such ignorance but whatever, this is neogaf and all.

 

[Beefy]

Yes, but not with butter as well. Otherwise, that's the poor man's sandwich here in the US.

If it's not grilled, that would taste so...depressing.

Depends on the cheese.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Why do I get a feeling this was a backfired lol Americans are fat slobs thread.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

People laughing at bread with cheese, no wonder America is obese..

and butter.

You do realise most people in the UK have a sandwich a day right? It isn't just a USA thing. I don't get the whole your sandwich looks lame because it is simple crap. It's kind of obvious people in different countries would have different types of sandwiches.

You do realize this thread was started by somebody saying that only Americans eat sandwiches and that the proper way to eat a sandwich is with two slices of bread, butter, and cold cheese.

Us backwoods, unlearnt Amerikans have been saying "Sorry OP, the world eats sandwiches and there's nothing wrong with them, they're delicious."

Take up your protest with the OP!

 

[Pritchardo]

typical american sandwich is just grease, gristle and fatness, oh and sugar. those fat americans love that shuga!

Being from the UK you can't beat a cheese and pickle sandwich.

I'm not criticizing other cultures for their food. Every culture has different tastes. I'm just saying that sandwiches have become a very important and dominant part of American cuisine.

True sandwich is a sandwich with a true french baguette.

Decent alternative: "American food is terrible quality" thread.

The OP made the thread sure. But some of the posts in this thread are just sad. I wasn't protesting btw, just stating a fact. It's kind of crazy how people get over a sandwich.

Yes, so crazy that they feel compelled to come to GAF and make a thread about it...?

If you buy shitty bread, sure.

I didn't say you were criticizing. The sandwich is the same in the UK, it's just being different countries we prefer different things.

0:40 for what a real sandwich looks like!

The whole point of the thread has been to poke fun at what Americans eat, and all us unwashed, unread Americans are saying is "sandwiches are OK, everybody can eat what they want!" If you want to eat cinnamon bread, then by all means, enjoy your cinnamon bread. If you want to call cookies biscuits and chips crisps and fries chips and crackers jolly bobbies, then go for it, the English language is in a richer place for it.

But christ on a cupcake, just let us take your cuisine, make changes to it, enjoy it the way we want to enjoy it, without being lectured that we're enjoying our food wrong.

american bread is terrible

Only since that Mohammedian communist Obama took over and forced us to get all of our bread from the GOVMENT. Back before that TRAITOR Obama you could go to your local market and choose from dozens and dozens of different styles of bread, all originating from different cuisines and cultures all over the world.

I was about to reply to Commish saying that the OP could have worded his post far better. But then the thread wouldn't be this big. A sandwich is a sandwich at the end of the day. As long as you enjoy it then all is fine.

 

[Pritchardo]

If you buy shitty bread, sure.

Your flour is even loaded with sugar. What's considered normal flour here in Wales was very hard to come by in the states and that was a lot of shops most of even the flour was full of sugar WTF

 

[bidguy]

some american singer even made a song about sugar WTF

 

[Veritigo_X]

Where did you actually buy bread in the US? There are plenty of bakeries here where you can get good bread.

 

[ZenaxPure]

The real shock of this thread to me is that people aren't freaking out about the Biscuit and Gravy post from a few pages back. Usually our most delicious breakfast food brings in a bunch of confusion about scones and brown gravy.

 

[itxaka]

The more toppings, the more you clap when you finish your sandwich. It's only logical.

 

[Hilbert]

Haha, you don't know what you are talking about.

That's a good point.

If OP had said "I've never eaten a multi-topping sandwich," then the thread would be different. Instead it's, "Why do Americans eat my sandwich wrong." And us filthy swine are here waving our flags, firing our guns into the air saying "there's nothing wrong with a little meat sandwich!"

If you want an example of the sort of ridiculous nonsense ...

Your flour is even loaded with sugar. What's considered normal flour here in Wales was very hard to come by in the states and that was a lot of shops most of even the flour was full of sugar WTF

THis is just so much 'what the fuck are you even talking about' that I don't know where to start.

Please link to your most popular brand of flour in bloody Wales and you're likely to find that the most popular brand of flour in the States is virtually identical.

So this is the flour that I generally buy ... it's your normal, nothing special flour that is found at every super market in the US. I'm not any sort of fancy chef, so I don't really care much about my flour... It's made from 100% wheat. This is identical to virtually every flour product in the states.

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

this isn't even a struggle meal in america

the fuck

French? I don't want my bread running away when it's about to be eaten.

Aside from the fact that there is more than one kind of flour in the U.S.:

My teeth are falling out just looking at all of that sugar.

We had a thread about that a few weeks back, were some Americans were saying British biscuits aren't real biscuits. It's kind of mad.

...

What? Typical flour in the US has less than half a gram of sugar per cup. Essentially a completely negligible amount. It isn't even an active ingredient, it just exists.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

What?

I literally just went into my kitchen and took this.

How could you move around your kitchen with all the sacks of sugar in the way?

[Ledsen]

That butter and cheese sandwich....what the hell OP.

That is just toast with cheese on it. We might have that as well for breakast but without cheese jelly and butter and toasted, then with eggs and bacon.

It's not toast.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Sugar is so normal here in the US we don't bother reporting it on the nutrition facts, you should just assume it's in there.

 

[breakfuss]

This is definitely ok in my book. Looks maaaaybe a little dry and could use a couple extra sauces but it definitely helps me respect our Belgian brethren.

What kind of meat is in that.
