So to confirm, you were just making stuff up earlier, right?
Is it common to make big multi-topping sandwiches in the US?

Europeans really like toast with butter for some reason. They call it a sandwich lol

You know what we need in America?
More cheese varieties.
Is that Shadyside?
yeah i do one thin layer cheese, one thin layer meat and then load with veggies. thats truly how most homemade sandwiches are here in the US. getting a sandwich from a restaurant or vendor though and they load it with meat.

You don't put butter on toast?
I think people on both sides have skewed perceptions. But its pretty funny suggesting USA doesn't have any good cheeses when local chains import most if not all the known cheeses in the world. Then there's your local cheese and wine shop in every shopping centers if you're trying to find the less well known names...
Nah, that's a picture I found on the net of the one in Columbus but I go to the Bethel Park one and it's just as ridiculous.
Cheese literally as far as the eye can see.

Can I just go live there forever? All I need to survive is good cheese and craft beer.

Eating a bacon egg and cheese on a plain bagel. A proper breakfast sandwich for the best people from the best country. God bless America!

Yeah! She was VP at a major energy trading company and managed to retire at 50 and maintain her lifestyle of dual home ownership in the city and the Hamptons. From there she developed a major passion in investing in promising businesses! Lucy was her friend, to my understanding. They have cheese mongers and all.
She extremely good hearted. and just ended up on the right airplane to make her a multimillionaire.
I'll see if a room is available!
Don't worry! As I mentioned, plenty of craft beer. And some impressive IPAs for sure (that's what I drink as well)

I used to stop at Robinson Market District on my way home every day, don't like in the area anymore and boy do I miss that cheese section, always free samples too.
More like I don't call a piece of bread a sandwich.
And this is why the thread is so long, you guys can barely understand basic English to even know what a sandwich is. It's ok one day you'll upgrade from poor people food.

this looks like every store ever around here.
that's just the normal selection.
Your post made me laugh for a good 2 minutes.
For real, people, that's not a struggle sandwich. It's normal and I say that as European living in America for a long time. My dad used to eat that all the time when I was growing up.

Most of us are just joking around. But struggle sandwich is mad funny.
I'm legit buying a fuckton of cheese tonight. This thread has me craving some.

Sure, but it's not the centerpiece of a meal lol.
There's nothing wrong with some good cheese on a slice of good bread, but it's not a sandwich.
Nothing wrong with butter on toast either. But that's toast with butter on it, it's not a sandwich. There's not two stacked pieces of bread with toppings in the middle. You could make a struggle toast sandwich with two pieces of toast with butter between, I guess.

We haven't even busted out our insane bakeries and bread variety. They just think because they say on a tv show some plastic bag wonder bread that we must only use that. And then they post pictures of their sandwiches literally all using the same type of sliced bread or the same type of baguette lol.

I love checking out local food.Not sure. Some Kroger locations have a Murray's Cheese section, other's just a large selection of cheeses. I believe Murray's imports, but don't quote me on that. I know they offer cheeses from all over, and I believe they both import and make their own local cheeses that they send out. I'm not sure where a Kroger without a Murray's inside gets its cheese. If it has to be imported to be good, maybe Kroger wouldn't do after all.

I don't think it is in Europe either, unless you're living in very deep poverty or are a student.
It's getting close to the time for my favorite sandwich, the Thanksgiving leftover sandwich!
my man.
I like leftover sandwiches more than Thanksgiving itself.

I was just joking around. People get so butt hurt in these threads when people dis a country's cuisine (see my earlier post). I don't understand why people get so defensive, why do you care what someone thinks of the country you live in's cheese selection lol? There was a guy who was going to go to the shop to take a photo to prove you have lots of cheese. Haha.
People need to chill out. I've enjoyed plenty of great cheese in the US. Don't get me started on bread though..

Please. Do. Let's get the bread selection discussion going as well, since America shits on Europe in that department too.

Dude, don't open that door.
While it's clear the whole cheese thing is a bunch of bollocks, I have no say on the bread.
I mean, yeah it's clear that we have a good selection of bread options too. Not everything is Wonderbread, obviously. But, I've never eaten imported bread so I don't have any idea what it'd be like. I'd have nothing do discuss.

Haha, ok. Why is ALL American bread so sweet and disgusting white sliced bread. You have to be from the glorious country of Europe to appreciate what real bread is.

This is what everyone's breakfast sandwich looks like in Sweden (and I bet all Scandinavian countries). Maybe switch the cheese with some other topping like ham, or leverpostej.

John Montagu was a Briton, though, and said to be the one for whom the sandwich was invented.
How dare you Americans call your sandwiches sandwiches?
Okay, now we're getting somewhere. To that unquestionable pinnacle of human knowledge, the wikipedia entry for John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich:
Let's pull out the most important bit:
Not a piece of bread with butter and a piece of cheese on it served on the floor. "Slices of meat between two slices of bread."
So.
The piece of bread with a piece of cheese is, BY DEFINITION, not a sandwich.

What goes into magic Eurobread that makes it inherently better? Maybe like, some flour and water? Some yeast perhaps? Smugness?
