Is it common to make big multi-topping sandwiches in the US?

All American food = Subway or similar shit-tier food. Didn't you get the memo?
I raise your lousy sammwiches with:
Smörgåstårta.
Holy shit... this whole time there has been a Swedish sandwich equal to, if not exceeding, American sandwiches in ridiculousness? Now this is a turnabout!

I don't really like sandwich cake that much, especially if it has too much processed cheese in it, but it's an interesting idea. And you don't have to use seafood in it, you can use anything you use in real sandwich really.

Cutting cheese with a knife on a plastic table as everyone seems to lack wooden tables (I hope its just the tables and not all furniture), now that is really sad.
What?

When I was in New York City on vacation, I noticed that the Americans lack one extremely important thing for sandwich making.
A fucking osthyvel!
How can you NOT have this in every home? We had to cut the cheese using knives! Knives! Like savages!
I've always used a wire cheese slicer like this:

I buy all my cheese pre-sliced, like a real American.

Do Americans even jam or marmalade? Of course jelly is the worst, I think everyone can agree on that.
Also very nice on a single or double slice of bread WITH BUTTER

And cheese. Butter+cheese+marmelade is godly. Orange marmelade especially.

Just the first few pages of this thread have had me laughing with how Americans have reacted to a cheese sandwich.

That looks like it was photographed in an abandoned dentist office.
I'm not american and that thing looked like some austere bullshit. Europe isn't the 3rd world, put some damn flare into your cooking.

What is the functional difference between cheese cut with that and cheese cut with a knife? Genuinely curious.

Nope, we only have Welch's grape jelly here in this food wasteland called America.
If only we had the means to transport such delicacies across the great, dragon-filled seas or create them ourselves in this humble yet barren land.
You mean the piece of bread with cheese on top, aka the Struggwich?

Europeans seem to have a tough time understanding a basic concept: if it exists in Europe, we have a better version in America.
We have that very brand in the store here (in Georgia (usa) at least). It's expensive af for the small amount you get.Do Americans even jam or marmalade? Of course jelly is the worst, I think everyone can agree on that.

And yeah its not that The Sandwich (tm) is repulsive, but like, at least toast the bread so the butter can melt.
Where's your loch ness monster? You're not going to tell me that big foot is better than old nessie? That'd make you a dirty liar.
Lemme tell you all about these Mississippi River monsters.

This thread is still going? Give it up Europe, our sandwiches are better.
I use my glorious osthyvel to make really thin cucumber slices.
So TWO uses! Get it right!

You know that we have a tool for that, right? And anyone who doesn't suck can cut really thin cucumber or cheese slices with a knife. That's the true multipurpose tool that eliminates the need for your nonsense cheese slicer.
Edit: the tool I was referring to -
But you don't understand. Europeans just know cheese. And they cut it with special little shovels that make it taste better. So much so you don't need to add anything to actually make it a sandwich. You know, things like, ingredients.
They are so desperately grasping at straws, that JAM of all things is being trotted out as unusual in America.

Is that brains or worms in the middle?
Looks off putting.
Those are peeled shrimp you heathen.
First, you get a perfect slice of cheese every time out of a cheese block. So instead of having to buy pre-sliced cheese which is generally more expensive, you save money on making slices yourself.
My experience with the knife while in the US. was that you would get either these chunks of cheese (which is too much), or you would have to spend time cutting thin slices of cheese over by cutting carefully. So its a time saver in itself.
You use less cheese, for the same taste, so you save more cheese in the end over a longer period of time.
And like Yobalt said, you can slice other things with it as well, cucumber, carrots, chocolate for cake garnish. So many wonderful uses.
It's shrimp actually.
Quite delicious, though unlike the American sandwich, this is only served on very, very special occasions.

Wine. Beer. Cider. Champagne. Fuck, anything alcoholic. Pizza. Bread. Cheese. Meat (no, you can't compete with jamón ibérico). Ice cream. Mayonnaise (the Dutch do it best). Chips (all about that steak cut). Cars. Bikes.
Culture.
Are there any questions?

Visit one of our many Bed Bath & Beyonds or Crate and Barrels for your cheese tools.
No, Americans start entering the 20th century and get some tools that help proper cheese consumption!
Also switch to the metric system already!
Hahahahahaha.
Very first point: even the French agree California wine is superior.

Our states compete with entire countries when it comes to wine and beer.

Europeans need to enter the 20th century and start Googling these things.

American bread sucks.
American cheese sucks as well.
So they have to pile on veggies and condiments and sauces and pickles to make it digestible.
Their deli meats are pretty limited. Like, they have perhaps 10 or 15 types of deli meat, while in Europe you can easily find 30 or more different types of sandwich meat. That said, pastrami or corned beef from a jewish-type deli, or turkey from the cutting board is pretty tasty.
But OP is correct, the single slice of bread with ONLY cheese or ONLY deli meat is definitely weird for them.

Next time I'm going to United States, I'm making those two places my first stop.

So did some american have a glass of piss from some european that told him it was beer? And thats how american beer was invented? Because your beer does probably taste better than piss, although I never tasted piss. But yeah you have a better version of piss, in a bottle.
And the desperation mounts.

Jesus dude, don't sound so desperate. Just take the L. You can make your 'European beer is better than American beer' thread if you want but this thread is about sandwiches.
