nothing wrong with that
Ever heard of a toast sandwich?? It's a piece of toast between two slices of bread with some butter, salt and pepper. Apparently it's the cheapest meal in the UK, according to this article from 2011.

Your opinion on American sandwiches is invalid. You guys invented surstromming.
Can confirm all americans are fat and eat ridiculous "sandwiches". Here's me eating a Tanner and the Unicorn from Tucker Duke's. It's a burger with 6 slices of bacon, a fried egg, and onion rings Americanly stuffed between two grilled cheese sandwiches. This constitutes your every day fat American meal.
That looks pretty amazing, actually.

Or maybe for "butter and cheese" sandwiches [jimcarreygagging.gif]

Surstromming is good. Should be treated like a condiment to have on crisp flatbread, along with sliced boiled potatoes and red onions. Listen to what the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has to say about surstromming.
I know that my fellow Americans in this thread have derided the cheese and butter sandwich, and really its been top notch this entire time.
But...
I know quite a few Americans who actually like and eat cheese and butter sandwiches. Also, onion sandwiches, which are bread, butter, salt, and onions all in one (supposedly) glorious combination. It's not my thing, but they seem to enjoy it.
Admittedly though, most of them had at least one grandparent who knew more Dutch than English. I don't know if that accounts for it or not, but, I mean, when one of my grandmothers died, the only thing they served after the funeral was banana bread and cheese.

Yea, it's pretty common. At least a veggie, meat, and cheese. Though one of my favorites is fresh rye from the baker, some mayo, and thick-sliced tomatoes. More filling than it sounds.
My goto big sandwich is grilled ciabatta, mayo mixed with ground mustard, turkey, ham, cheddar, cucumbers, and tomato, with a little seasoning to taste - typically pepper and oregano.

This thread made me so upset that I began researching what could lead to such a sandwich gap between longtime allies and I discovered this.
It's become a crisis over there of sorts. They even asked Brits to send in recipes for the cause but look what they made.
I agree, that butter looks very nice, but they don't even know how to put it in the sandwich!

I'm lol'ing at the thread title. "Multi-topping" sandwiches. I mean of course they're multi-topping! Even your fuckin butter and cheese sandwich (wtf?) is technically multi-topping.
I always load up my sandwiches. Lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, cheese, something spicy like diced jalapenos or something. Then slap on several meats and you're set.

Is it true that fat-ass American 8-year-olds eat two of these for breakfast?
I mean I guess maybe that's what's in my feed bag? Idk I just eat it
Because it's out everything that Gaf loves to fight about:
1. How America is different from other parts of the world
2. Food
3. Stuff people think is weird
4. Bonus opportunities for clapping, tipping, Italian meal references
If we could fit in some girl-age this would be a perfect thread

Is there no balance to be found? Obviously a slice of cheese on bread is nothing more than a snack (I actually enjoy it as a quick snack when you use a good cheese, like Oka), but the opposite of overloading a sandwich with a thousand toppings is also absurd. The toppings start falling off, you don't even get to really taste each topping 'cause there's too much of it at once, and if there's too much sauce the bread gets all soggy, it's nasty. I'm perfectly OK with one layer of meat, one layer of cheese, lettuce, and butter or mayo (I hate too much mayo though, moderate amounts only), so long as each ingredient is of high quality (good quality bread makes a huge difference too). I don't mind if you add a bit of, say, bell peppers, or bacon (let's face it, a bit of bacon always helps xD), or one or two other things, especially if the sandwich is the whole meal so I get wanting something a bit more consistent, but more than that seems excessive.
Pretty amusing to see Americans laugh at non-overloaded sandwiches considering the obesity problems in the US...

There are obesity problems all over Europe, too. The US isn't that much higher.

Yeah, and Europe's getting fat without the aid of real sandwiches. What's going on there? What's their excuse?

From all the charts and articles and studies I've seen, Europe is getting fatter, but it's still nowhere close to the USA.
McDonalds and KFCs and other American fast food restaurants and processed HFCS-filled foods being spread into their markets. No joke, this has been observed everywhere including Africa and China.

http://www.theguardian.com/news/dat...-the-uk-obesity-rates-compare-other-countries
2013 Overweight and Obesity Stats for both sexes:
US: 71%
UK: 67%
Switzerland: 57%
Spain: 62%
France: 52%
Germany: 64%
Poland: 64%
Greece: 71%
Hungary: 66%
Ireland: 66%
Italy: 58%
I don't think I need to go on any more. I don't think any country at 50%+ gets to call themselves not fat, if anything some European countries are slightly less fat while some are nearly caught up with us.
I believe recently the US is doing a much better job than Europe at dealing with childhood obesity.

No, the thread is 16 pages long, sorry. Thanks for the link, will check it out.
[Edit: seems like it's counting all overweight categories, not just obese, for one thing. When you go to the source and check the "obesity" only box, you get 33% for USA and rates like 20% for France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, with the highest climbing still only to 24% for the UK and Germany. Interesting...]

"Haha uh all Americans are fat so it's fine that our Eurofood sucks."
It'd take me two days to eat one of those, lol.

Here's a cemita poblana, probably my favorite sandwich and I just discovered this year:

Are you guys like new at this?
This is how you sandwich.
Thats the Arby's Meat Mountain.
I actually had that a couple weeks ago for the first time. Its fucking great but I had to split it with a friend.
On its own you're looking at ~1200 calories and over 100g of protein.

Cream cheese with smoked turkey slices and paprika, cucumber or tomato slices on some good lightly tosted rye bread. Have it pretty much every morning. Usually accompanied by slice of bread with some simple makrell in tomatoes or liverpatty and cucumber. - Norwegian.
Just bread, butter and white cheese sounds painfully boring...brown cheese on the other hand.

Look there are worse things to eat. The meats are their own are pretty good health-wise other than the fried chicken strips.
It has roast beef, brisket, cornbeef, ham, turkey, and bacon too. 2 types of cheese.
Now I want an Arby's roast beef with melty "cheddar".

Most people are just posting over the top sandwiches. The average person over here probably couldn't finish most of these. You can find a pretty normal sized sandwich that's flavorful here as well.
