A chips sandwich??? That's just gross xD. Please tell me that's just a weird-ass snack and not a meal lol...
This is a nice sandwich. Healthy enough, but with decent toppings to be moderately filling, and tasty.This is a typical sandwich:
This is also my kind of sandwich. A bit more calorie-filled and maybe a bit less healthy than the previous one, but not going overboard while still remaining tasty and filling.
But this, this is nasty as fuck. Way too much of... everything. Except bread. Not even any real bread. Ewww. Also, a contender for thisiswhyyourefat.com. Do not want.
And that is just sad. If that's all I had for lunch, I'd be depressed.
I agree.
Okay... what the fuck is that
When I am feeling unhealthy, the crisp sandwich.

When I make sandwiches I usually have like two meats, cheese, lettuce, about two condiments (at least miracle whip + mustard), and sometimes tomatoes and bacon as guest toppings. A big enough sandwich can be a whole meal by itself.

American sandwiches posted here are almost all meat 0_0, how can one even eat that. Where here it's usualy just a few thin slices of meat, and with the majority of the sandwich consisting of bread. Youre mostly eating bread with something extra.
I just made something exactly like this just now for a late night snack. Only I stopped thru Brown Town on my way to Toastville.
Subtle.
Jesus fuck. That's...I don't even know words horrific enough to describe that. Abortioncaust? Vomshit? Tergoreism?

Lard, man. If you're going to eat unhealthy, why not go all in?
Edit:
I could save time and include the non-asshole version already in this message:
Butter has trans fats and lots of saturated fat. Margarine is mostly unsaturated fats and zero trans fat. Margarine used to be nasty, but it was decades ago (at least in Europe).

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
When I was in primary school I thought one of the kids eating these in the lunch hall was doing it as a joke. Then ten years later I see someone at work eat one at lunch. It blew my mind. I was eating a bowl of Shreddies and felt like I was having a five-star meal in comparison.

look get that nasty ass steak umms shit out of here.people do it all the time. they sell the meat in the freezer section, if you don't have a good deli nearby.
edit: chicken cheesesteak is even easier. basically diced chicken breast on a roll. Add buffalo sauce if you're nasty

That looks what they call kebab meat here. The frozen stuff you get from supermarket is pretty nasty.

I hope the Americans and Europeans can come together here to agree that margarine is vile.
Yes, and also, what is wrong with hypothetical you?

America and Europe have both insanely strong farming lobbies that spread shit about butter being more natural and therefore healthier. You know it's bullshit...

One I'd make in college was:
Ciabatta roll
One to two semi-thick slices of pepper rind turkey
Red pepper hummus
Spinach
Slice of pepper jack cheese
Might throw a bit of olive oil on the bread. Realize now that it's lacking something pickled / brine-y.
By no means some of the larger sandwiches you might get from a deli, but also a bit more than butter, cheese, and bread.
I want pictures!

Something similar to this with a nice layer of hummus at the bottom instead of cranberry sauce:
It is in Europe too.
Only that this (or a couple of these if you're hungry) is enough for a lunch:
Not to go down into stereotypes, but when I see some sanwiches posted here (and the reaction to some euro sandwiches), it's no wonder so many americans are fat

Haha, you misunderstand. I want to see pics of sandwiches that people have made themselves man.

Well maybe that's because it's not supposed to be a lunch? It's the side for the lunch at most, or more likely a snack.
We tend to eat actual food for lunch:

I see, are you more of a tomato herring kind of guy? I mean it is good but the sweet flavor throws me off. It's dam good choice on crispy rye-bread.
mmmmm. placenta.

Hey, I said its an option for people with no butcher or deli nearby.
It sucks compared to the real deal, but clearly people making cheesesteaks at home isn't some kind of fantasy. It's an easy ass sandwich

Not even joking, 2-3 of this image is my lunch. (So 4 halves, maybe 5-6 halves)
So why not just...
Make a proper Sandwich?
It would get boring eating that every day, but that is easy to make, filling and tastes good. No need to whack tons of toppings on every sandwich like some of these monstrocities in this thread, one of those would probably hit your daily calorie intake in one go.

Oh this is the great poverty sandwich, so good when you're feeling lazy. Some salt and vinegar or cheese and onion flavour crisps

LOL, my reaction as well.
Its the simple things in life that bring me joy. Too many different flavours can ruin a sandwich. Sometimes the basics are the best options.
A treat is a peanut butter sandwich. Yes two slices of bread, margarine and some peanut butter spread with a cuppa.

Reminds me of the sandwich from The Breakfast Club:

lol k I' present to you the most American of sandwhiches, the shooter. Take some fancy bread and hollow it out, layer the ingredients of your choice, weigh it down for a few hours to flatten and eat. It symbolizes all the minorities, native americans and south/central american countries we have crushed to become the superpower we are today. We are also overweight, clap for everything and can't appreciate the simple beauty of bread, butter and cheese.
Am I doing it right gaf?
You people and your sad little cheese/bean sandwiches.
See in America we celebrate diversity. which is evident in our sandwich selection. For instance, these are the sandwiches I get to eat in my neighborhood. Thank you friendly Uruguayan and Mexicans!
(btw these costs less than $15)

Most people here (Belgium) eat their regular breakfast/lunch sandwiches with just 1 or 2 condiments. People tend to use butter too, which I find absolutely gross. Like you have people who butter the bread first, then put nutella on there. Why...
I normally go for cheese + salami/ham + lettuce + mayo or mustard. It's a joy for me to eat those pastrami sandwiches in NY, delicious.

So strugwich gaf, say you got yourself some tasty bread and you've already lovingly applied your favorite cheese. Your brain is probably screaming at you, telling you to stop building and just eat.
But heres my question;
If in this situation you happened to have some delicately smoked, thinly sliced turkey breast in your fridge, ready to go....
Would you put it on your sandwich then? Like, would that thought cross your mind?

Cheese sandwiches aside, I think a big difference in Europe is the lack of the slice of tomato and usually pickled vegetable in American sandwiches. Even if it's not on the sandwich, often you'll get a pickled cucumber spear on the side with a sandwich in the US. Haven't seen it in Europe, similar to how you rarely see any malt vinager in the US.
