Most cheese graters have something similar if you flip it over. It's a little bit thicker then that tool.
I personally just use a potato peeler. I don't really want to buy such a specialized tool.
Is it common to make big multi-topping sandwiches in the US?

Which non-macrobrew American beers have you had?
Wait a minute... Americans don't eat sandwiches like that? To me, a sandwich is a single piece of bread with one or two toppings. The most common ones are cheese or thin slices or ham. Add a bowl of cereal or some coffee and that's what 90% of Swedes eat for breakfast.
Here is a pretty normal breakfast:
No.

He's right though. Europeans still think we drink Budweiser and Coors Light, which is hilarious. The reality is we have more variety at the microbrew level than they could ever hope for.
*facepalm* really hope you're trolling right now...

I'm not so familiar with microbrews. Is it those more subtle beer snob beers, like Corona?

Today's American sandwich for lunch: sourdough bread, mayo, mustard, dill pickles, red onion, and a shredded chicken thigh. Not super big, but super good.
bahahahaha
If you want to talk about beer snobs, then look no further than Europeans who are so obsessed with their own beer and the traditional methods by which its made that they refuse to acknowledge anything else in other parts of the world. We have over 2000 microbreweries in the US trying new things all the time, yet how many people in Belgium or Germany has even tried one of them? Meanwhile, Americans value traditional beers from Europe AND the the beers of our own country, which tend to be a mix of the traditional stuff and experimental beers with a huge variety of flavors. We have WAY more options than anywhere else, and those options include the best from Europe and the US.
Haha that's pretty good.
Yep
Yes. This is the only sandwich that we know how to make.
No butter OR cheese?
It's amazing to keep reading about all of the things Europeans think Americans don't have. I mean, jam. Are you serious.
It's one thing to think we have nothing higher quality than the lowest common denominator cheap stuff sitting on the end of the supermarket aisles; it's another to think that our supermarkets only stock Kraft singles, guns, and freedom.

I wish I could afford to always have fresh produce on hand to make sandwiches that look like that.
Usually I just stick with meat, cheese, and spreads (mayo, mustard)

So what are the top 10 beers in the US by popularity? Then we can marvel in your national beer taste superiority.

I asked about US top 10/25 in sales so we can observe the nation's superior taste in beer.

What's the point? The top sellers are going to be cheap, mass produced, shit beer in basically every country.
Go visit Yardhouse and then we can talk.
People buy larger quantities of cheaper mass produced beer to get drunk, not for the taste.

I'm not sure what your suggesting? I was pointing out that a large selection of beers isn't a measure of superiority as that poster was saying.
I live in London where I can literally try 1000s of different ales. So what? Does that make the United Kingdom superior?
People are talking about the quality, not the best selling. Beer is incredibly regional in the united states, my grocery store has a ton of local beers from Oregon and Washington. Restaurants in the area sell local beers. Everyone drinks them. But they don't sell or serve them on the other side of the country, they have their own local beers. There is no way these beers can sell more than huge national brands, there literally isn't enough of it. But everyone still drinks local beers.
I don't drink beer, but my mother does. When she visits someplace she always tries local beers that she can't get at home. She is excited to try new beers, and she doesn't turn her nose up because it isn't the best selling brand nationally.
If all you are concerned about is what is the best selling, you are asking the wrong question. If you are interested in quality and unique beers, and you are not looking at the United States, you are not a fan of beer.
Here's the thing Europeans don't understand.
Not only do we get the bad stuff we also get the good stuff. We have your sandwiches., it's called a side of bread for our real meals.
Our supermarkets have two bread sections. One for crappy processed stuff and an in store bakery that makes breads, roll, cakes, ect.
Two cheese sections a prepackaged vacuum sealed pre slices section and a section where you can get fresh cut sold by the pound with both demestic and international cheeses.
Two deli meat section similar to the cheese sections.
Two meat sections one pre cut and one with a butcher willing to cut/prep your meat the way you want.
Two seafood sections similar to the meat section.
Our beer is so superior to the shit you get in main land Europe (sin Belgium) and their hey we can only sell five beers here and all of them are pilsners and lagers. (I actually enjoy British beer though since they actually have some variety with flavor)

American beer so dominates the landscape of in terms of quality, you didn't even understand what you were looking at. Take a look again.
How many are top rated beers?
Pretty much every top beer ratings list is dominated by American beers.

The poster I was addressing was claiming that the US has a big variety of beers and that, along with Europe's dismissiveness of US beers made them inferior.
Then what about me? There are 6 pubs within 800metres of me that bre their own beer. I have access to hundreds of US beers, many of which I find fantastic, and I love European beers as well as UK brewed beer.
His argument falls flat because it is as non sensical as asking what the population drinks in a country.
No country, is 'better' at beer. The whole concept is obnoxious and embarrassing.

Ok, I'll be serious in this thread for a moment.
USA is probably the best beer producer country in the world. UK and Belgium (in that order) are fucking awesome too. Many other countries are getting a lot better. The situation in Sweden, for example, is infinitely better than it was ten years ago. Can we please stop arguing such a stupid topic?

People drink a lot of cheap swill in every country. The most consumed beers in Germany are Becks, Sternburg, etc, which are garbage. That has nothing to do with the quality of what we have available to us. You should also consider that microbrews are quickly overtaking the popularity of macrobrews despite the higher cost.
Anyway, I'm really only targeting people who completely dismiss US beers as being terrible when all they know about is Bud Light and Coors.
here you go op knock yourself out
hehe but yeah i've seen the whole range from over stuffed to just regular stuffed sandwiches in the time in America. If I compare it to India yes we put less " stuff" in our sandwiches back in India.

Back on topic, I had a pretty sad turkey and cheddar cheese sammich (with mustard and light mayo) today for lunch. It could have used some vegetables.
At least it wasn't a "Struggwich".

Top rated by who? the whole idea is nonsensical, you cant really rank beers like that as it is totally subjective.
Britain has an extremely vibrant and ancient brewing tradition, with thousands of small craft breweries brewing a massive variety of beer (only a tiny proportion of which is exported) and I really dont think that you can make an argument that american beer is "better". I have drank a lot of nice american beers, and to my taste there are plenty of nice beers in the states. But american beer wont be to everyone's taste, a lot of british beer drinkers wouldn't consider most of it to be real beer because it is not cask conditioned!

You must have never visited modern day Europe.
Lists made by Americans for Americans. Proves NOTHING.
Well as far as I see people are still laughing at the struggwich from OP and now the euros have tried to pivot to beer, which I'm guessing they now regret.
I'm from the Netherlands and we have the same supermarket set-up and better beer so yeah.
When I was in Germany, there was definitely a small selection of beer you could get at most places, but it was all leagues ahead of American shit beer (same with the stuff at the grocery stores that you buy in plastic bottles), but the US definitely has the advantage when it comes to variety because of the craft brews. I might be extra-spoiled living the PNW, though.
End of the day, I'd prefer German beers for everyday consumption, but I'd definitely miss the microbrews for special occasions.

well your depressing poop bread with cheese definitely helped it keep going
A whole bunch of the leading beer brands in America are closing down their breweries in favor of the up and coming micro-breweries, which combined are selling more than our top beers.
And our microbreweries have top-tier stuff even against the higher German brews.
Also, Euroland has garbage supermarkets. The only selection they have the upper hand in are in cookies, chocolates, and (obviously) their condiments. Otherwise, you can find lots of things here in the US.

The best sandwich, Marmite, butter and crisps (although they should be Salt & Vinegar):
If your ever in New York get some Ommegang, admittedly you likely have access to better beers being right next door to Belgium, but I think you wont be disappointed.

Most common sandwiches in Mexico
Tuna
Ham w cheese
But they pale compared to our beloved TORTAS.
This post needs more love. Sandwiches have the right amount of ingredients. A torta is heavy enough to last all day.

Because Europeans are wrong and refuse to accept it.
What are some good Dutch beers?
I've only had two Dutch beers before and they're both shitty mass produced lagers. If I wanted shitty mainland Europe lagers I prefer drinking the little less shitty German ones.
You don't have better beer, but keep telling yourself that lol.

is it common for foreigners to continue to make crass generalizations about a diverse, gigantic country based on a segment of our population that probably dwarfs their country?

It seems to be less common than Americans making crass generalisations about a diverse, gigantic continent based on a segment of our population that probably dwarfs their country.
I made one of those today. Tilapia sandwhich in an egg in a basket.
Yes. This is the only sandwich that we know how to make.
