Bøfsandwich (Denmark) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Oh man, I really asked for it this time. For International Sandwich Sunday we’re headed to Denmark for the Bøsandwich. Normally, I’ll find a recipe online and make that version. Well, this time friend of the show The Hotdogjudge who is Danish, just happens to head up a society dedicated to this very sandwich. So when I asked for a recommended recipe, he brought it. It was a lot of work but it also yielded a very flavorful and filling sandwich. Btw, in the video I mentioned that I burnt my fried onions. That happened when I was re-heating them as I fried them the day before. Just forgot they were in the toaster oven. D’oh! #sandwichesofhistory #fyp #internationalsandwichsunday

Top 5 Worst Sandwiches of 2024 on Sandwiches of History⁣ When you post a sandwich a day for the most part, there are bound to be some stinkers. So, today we’re taking a look back at the top 5 worst sandwiches of 2024. Here’s the thing though, these weren’t the only terrible ones. Just 5 that were really bad (although I do think the New York Sandwich mentioned in this video qualifies as the worst sandwich of the year if I had to choose). Enjoy? #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Halifax Donair (Canada) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Welcome back to another episode of You’re Doing it Wrong. Lol Also known as International Sandwich Sunday. I’m joking, kinda.Today, we’re headed northeast to Halifax, Nova Scotia for the Halifax Donair. As I mention in the video, this was created by a Greek immigrant after his traditional lamb and beef gyros just weren’t selling. So it’s less cultural appropriation and more adaptation to the needs of the market. I think if you ask anyone in Halifax, they’d fully acknowledge the original inspiration for this. Also, if you’re tempted to comment on how it’s not a sandwich, just know that, while I understand where you’re coming from, I don’t keep strict purity tests in place for sandwiches as I don’t want to miss out on deliciousness because of them. Join me, won’t you? #sandwichesofhistory #fyp #internationalsandwichsunday

Crisco Sandwich Filling (1924) on Sandwiches of History Ok, before we get into it, yes, I was not optimistic about a sandwich filling that features Crisco. After all, no on has ever said, “I love the great taste of Crisco!” That’s because it’s a vegetable shortening. Still, I’ve been pleasantly surprised before so…I say let’s give it a go. My guess is that Crisco paid Sarah Field Splint to included it in here cookbook, Selected Recipes, published in 1926. And there were no legal requirements to disclose that back then. That’s the only way I can make sense of this recipe’s existence. #sandwichesofhistory #fyp

Matthew McConaughey Tuna Salad Sandwich (our history) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Today’s “recipe” dropped while I was on the road with first dates Sandwiches of History: LIVE! Then we hosted Thanksgiving then immediately flew to Chicago for the final stop on leg 1 of the tour (Visit SandwichesOfHistory.com/live) to see upcoming cities and dates. So at long last, I am taking not he wacky Matthew McConaughey Tuna Salad Sandwich. My first reaction is that is just throwing stuff in to throw stuff in. But hey, I’ve been pleasantly surprised before so let’s go into it with open mind, shall we? Alright, alright, alright. Oh and extra points if you understand why I used the intro I did in the video. #sandwichesofhistory #fyp

Bake and Shark (Jamaica/Trinidad/Tobago) on Sandwiches of History For today’s International Sandwich Sunday we’re headed to the Caribbean for the Bake and Shark (and not the Shark and Bake as I erroneously call it toward the end of the video. I am swapping in swordfish for the shark since sharks are in danger of over-fishing. This one is a bit of work but wow, what an explosion of flavor. And no, I don’t get paid every time I say “alright” but you’d never know it. Lol #sandwichesofhistory #fyp

Hawaian Sandwich (1940s) on Sandwiches of History⁣ First things first, yes, Hawaiian is spelled incorrectly in Culinary Art which was put out by Keen’s Mustard put out in the 1940s. As it turns out, that not the most offensive part of the sandwich. After all, in true stereotypical fashion they gave the sandwich its name due to the presence of pineapple. And I’ll remind you, Keen’s is a mustard company. So the goal in putting out this recipe books to get folks using more Keen’s mustard. Yeah. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Chopped Cheese Sandwich (regional history) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Today, we’re doing a sandwich of regional history, well, more specifically neighborhood history. As in Spanish Harlem in NYC from the propertied originator of the Chopped Cheese Sandwich, Hajji’s Deli. The components are all cheeseburger but somehow it ends up still being its own thing. Its own tasty, tasty thing. Shout out to Stephen Dechant for reminding me to get on this! #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Middle West Sandwich (1932) on Sandwiches of History⁣ It’s Thanksgiving here in the United States so what better time to do the Middle West Sandwich from Uk’s New Ideas in Sandwiches from 1932? Hmm? What’s that? It isn’t obvious? Ah, ok. Let’s just say it involves turkey…and cranberries…and mashed potatoes…so…yeah. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory #thankagivingsandwich

Panuozzo (Italy) on Sandwiches of History⁣ We are headed to Italy for today’s International Sandwich Sunday for the Panuozzo. Basically it’s a pizza in sandwich form. And I am here for it. Of course, in order to make it I’ve got to bake which is always crapshoot to be honest. Especially pizza dough. But hey, I’m willing to try for deliciousness. And yes, I fully expect comments like "bro just wanted pizza" Le sigh #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Molded Chicken Sandwich (1931) on Sandwiches of History⁣ We’ve all been there, right? You want a chicken sandwich but instead of simply slicing chicken, you know it would taste even better if you had to do more steps and somehow incorporated both gelatin and unsweetened whipped cream. What? Just me? Kidding, I’ve never thought that. But, here we are with the Molded Chicken Sandwich from 1931’s White Lily Flour Cook Book. Let’s have us a good time, shall we? #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Afterthought Sandwich (1965) on Sandwiches of History⁣ I wasn’t not sure why the authors of The 1,000 Fabulous Sandwiches of 1965 would name something the Afterthought Sandwich. Then I tried it. The idea of it, coleslaw meets ham, isn’t bad at all. Just, ya know, the execution. Lol #sandwichesofhistory #fyp

Grandpa Bob Sandwich (our history) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Time for another sandwich of our history and today we are making one provided by Anthony who wrote in to share this sandwich that his grandpa Bob used to make when he went fishing. And I have to say, while it is not a sandwich that I would normally associate with fishing, I am looking forward to this one. #sandwichesofhistory #fyp

Crunchy Tuna Sandwich - (1982) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Ok, we need to get a couple thins out of the way. First, The Greatest Food Show In All The Land, published by Kraft in 1982, is a compendium of recipes from the their decades of sponsorships. And absolutely existed to promote Kraft products. So, naturally, the recipe is going to call for Miracle Whip, not mayonnaise and so on. Secondly, in the video I say the “pepperoncinis” which is absolutely wrong. After all, pepperoncini is already plural. Management regrets the error. Anywho, this is sandwich recipe, in a broad sense, isn’t a bad idea. But the ingredients it demands does drag it down a little. #sandwichesofhistory #fyp

Peanut Butter Sandwich (1916) on Sandwiches of History⁣ If you see the name Peanut Butter Sandwich, it is safe to assume that it is going to be an epically simple and straightforward affair, right? Yeah, not if The Blue-Book of Salads from 1916 has anything to say about it. There are just two more ingredients but what those ingredients are makes all the difference in the world. Not in a good way, unfortunately. #sandwichesofhistory #fyp

Katherine’s Box Lunch Sandwich (1990) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Today’s sandwich comes from a cookbook, Sensational Sandwiches, shared withme by JC Townsend. It’s from a now close restaurant called Roy’s Place in Gaithersburg, Maryland. JC use go there with his parents and I have to say, the book has some interesting sandwiches. Today, I’m doing the Katherine’s Box Lunch Sandwich which, in all honesty, is pretty much a gimme. But hey, I tried the awful Crisco Sandwich Filling the other day so… #sandwichesofhistory #fyp

Turkey Sandwich (1896) on Sandwiches of History Straight outta 1896, we’re taking on the Turkey Sandwich from The Cook Book By “Oscar” Of The Waldorf. Sure, it’s got turkey, but what other exciting and dynamic ingredients await us? Celery and egg. Yep, that’s it. At least the recipe calls for salt and pepper so we can strike that from our bingo cards. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Country Club Sandwich (1927) on Sandwiches of History This is probably the first sandwich that ticked me off. Why? It could be that the recipe for the Country Club Sandwich from 1927’s Salads and Sandwiches had me with the sandwich down for AN HOUR with not discernible reason. It’s not like this is the Pan Bagnat where the crusty bread absorbs a delicious dressing. It could be that it did have a dressing that was poured all over the sandwich. Or it could be the metric ton of cayenne pepper called for in the dressing. And perhaps, just perhaps, cayenne pepper in 1927 was different. On that I am not sure. What I am sure of is that I will never make this middling nonsense ever again. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Sandwich (1832) on Sandwiches of History Have to admit, the name of this sandwich, Sandwich, doesn’t give us much to go on. And the fact that it just says “bits of fowl” is a bit vague too. I opted for duck which I was able to get at Costco already cooked. The combo of smoky ham and duck was not to shabs, Mcdabs. But the plus up really got things going. Oh, and the dry mustard I used Colman’s. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

High School Sandwich Revisited (1916) on Sandwiches of History Yes, a little while back I did the High School Sandwich from Salads, Sandwiches, and Chafing Dish Recipes of 1916 and was a bit flummoxed on what to plus it up with. So, I asked you and boy did you deliver. Thank you! Originally, I was just going to do 4 plus ups but with so many great suggestions, I’ve opted for 6. That does not mean I am eating 6 sandwiches however. Lol #sandwichesofhistory #fyp
