What sandwich do you want your partner to make for you?
In some 2000-10s comedy, "bish, make me a sandwich" is a common punchline. It begs the question, what goes in the sandwich?
As a follow up, how does that differ from the sandwich you might make for yourself?
Honestly, I don't. Because I make them better.
My GF is awesome at many things, some of them includes food. But when it comes to sandwiches I am simply better at making them precisely how I like them.
And this is where i started a "having said that...."-sentence with the intent of describing the elaborate process of making me the perfect sandwich, but I realize that I can't be arsed typing it all out. Peace.
Honestly, I don’t. Because I make them better.
That is the situation in my household. My wife is one of those people who goes overboard on the primary filling and throws the proportions off. It isn't Katz's deli levels but it is noticeable.
OK, here's what you do, you followin' me camera guy?
You take chicken breasts and put them in a ziploc bag with some soy sauce and let them refrigerate overnight.
The next day, you cube them, skewer them and grill them until done.
On a large onion bun, you paint one side with hoisin sauce, one side with thai peanut sauce, then you put the chicken on the bun.
Top with a combination of shredded carrots, cabbage, and purple cabbage, soaked in sweet chili sauce.
Put the bun together, wrap in foil, serve warm, and enjoy.
It's a sandwich so good it can enslave lesser minds.
Could have just said bahn mi, but I like the visuals.
Bahn mi, here at any rate, is served on crusty French bread with cilantro and mayo and is pork rather than chicken, but I get the similarity. :)
For those of us that wouldn't know what bahn mi is. It sounds delicious.
That's not really a banh mi, they are baguettes. Also a ton of different "fillings" can go into one of those, so it's good to be specific.
Sounds great, though.
If they made me a real Reuben sandwich, on rye and with the sauce and everything, I'd do anything for them.
A sandwich I'd make for myself likely just consists of turkey lunchmeat, a few slices of cheese, and some lettuce.
Hell yes. Not the arbys version - which is tolerable honestly but not exciting - the actual deli version.
Jesus, show yourself the love you deserve. Or don't expect someone to do something you yourself aren't even willing to do.
The lean turkey sandwich is vastly more healthy and self-loving than the reuben.
Hmm, I am the better cook. But assuming we have the materials, a roast beef sandwich with sharp cheddar and horseradish, on rye.
Easy for the lesser cook, satisfying, and with quite a flavor profile for sliced meat, bread, and a single condiment.
I might add some mayo, but that’s subject to how good the horseradish is.
Well played.
I would be happy for a simple grilled cheese. Pretty hard to mess up, tastes great, quick. Best comfort food! 🙈
And I'd be happy for a partner.
Ham and cheese with mayo or PB&j. Just super simple.
Y’know…. It’s finally been enough years from a certain dirt poor era of my life that sounds really damn good.
There was a time when I swore off them entirely because it was about all that was in the cupboard for a brutally long time. But yeah, starting to sound really interesting.
I love her, and she's a great cook, but she never eats sandwiches or sausages and is helpless at making either.
The “pro-eato” we used to make at one of my first jobs. Pastrami, turkey, and melted provolone on a toasted onion roll with coleslaw and Russian dressing.
Honestly, anything! @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone makes the best sandwiches!
2 slices of spelt bread, toasted, ( the real one, not colored wheat), miracle whip with a dash of German mustard, thin roasted pork, real Dutch Gouda, thin slice, a bit of salad (optionally with a few thin pieces of beetroot), 2 small tomatoes on the side with good salt and a bunch of mixed freshly ground pepper (red, white, black) on the tomatoes, comes with it a large cacao. There you go.
So particular about real this and real that, and you use miracle whip?
Only REAL Miracle Whip
A hotdog
first, she makes some foccacia (she is italian). after slicing a lot of thin slices of mortadella and chilli salami from a local butcher she grates a significant amt of mozzarella. thick slices of tomato with salt and pepper on top, a nice handful of basil and parsley and some kewpie mayo and balsamic glaze over it all.
put all that in the fresh foccacia and damn, i cant think of anything better.
edit: i forogt to add some olive oil to the undersides of the bread, and also if im not feeling mortadella, i go champagne ham.
also, thin slices may be controversial, but thick slices dry out the sandwich for me
In the bit, I imagine she should know his sandwich and its peculiars by then.
It differs in that someone else makes it while he continues the important work of sitting and drinking.
I imagine the small mercy in this Al Bundy kinda situation is that his sandwich is probably pretty simple and boring, mayo and baloney sorta thing, instead of a proper lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, oil, peppers, maybe olives and bologna sorta thing.
If I told her, "bish, make me a sammich!", I would get a no-sex sammich. It would be all that I get to eat for days, and it would differ from the sandwich I might make for myself by the number of people involved.
Knuckle.
Edit: you don't think that attitude deserves a knuckle sandwich?
There is no sandwich like the "Monster Sandwich" at the food truck near my place, that shit it's amazing..
Where is this place so I can try it out?
Can't tell you mate, no identificable information from me, but just look for small places like food trucks or tiny establishments with lots of people on the line, and I bet that sandwich will be better than anything someone could do at their home.
None, I'm waaaaaaay better in the kitchen than her HAHAHAHAHA
*ceremoniously unwraps Uncrustables and frisbee's it across the room
The Elvis melt!
Whichever one I've asked for from the local sandwich shop. He probably could make a sandwich at home but I'd have to carry it into the living room to eat anyway, so I'd just make the sandwiches!
My partner's favourite sandwich is cheese and honey. I don't do savoury and sweet at the same time. No partner sandwiches for me.
I've only ever heard the phrase when a random internet dudebro was trying to show off for their imaginary friends by insulting me for being a woman.
If this thread is for men only, please amend the title. If it's for everyone, amend the text to acknowledge that for half the population it is not a punchline, it is an insult.
Are you looking for a reason to be insulted?
Always into a good Denim sandwich myself.
A Jandwich if you willl.
I gotta ask. Is that a picture of you (like, actually you) in your profile pic?
Yes. Though its dated now. Really didn't have any bright ideas for an avatar when I joined.
EDIT: Updated it to match my tenforward.social one.
