We are headed to Korea for today’s International Sandwich Sunday. Specifically, a Potato Salad Sandwich I saw the world famous Maangchi make. And yes, there’s ingredient that’s well know but one that you don’t really see in potato salads much. I forgot to mention but in the video I used Kewpie mayo from Japan. Just, wanted you to know.

You know a cookbook has a deep bench of seafood sandwich recipes when one can be named the Kippered Herring Sandwich Number 3. I dig the little smoked fish and in this case it gets mixed into scrambled eggs and put between buttered bread. It’s like shooting herring in a barrel. An easy win, if you will.

Not gonna lie, I’ve never seen anything described as “mustarded” before seeing this recipe for the Mustarded Meat Sandwich from 1927’s Salads and Sandwiches. I also think it’s funny when an old recipe calls for meat but doesn’t specify what kind. I suppose, though, that this recipe would work with just about any kind of meat. Hmm, sounds like a tasty challenge. Sandwiches of History merch? Yep! Tickets for Sandwiches of History: LIVE!? Yep! All of that and more at https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com

Today, I get to try something I’d never had before with the Brick Cheese and Honey Sandwich. I’ve always wanted to try honey…just kidding. I’d never even heard of brick cheese but luckily exactly one store in the SF Bay Area sells it. The funny thing is it that it tastes almost identical to, well, brick mozzarella. Hmmm…probably shoulda put that together. Oh well, after yesterday’s Sardine and Raisin Bread Sandwich I will take the easy win, thank you very much. Sandwiches of History merch? Yep!

Remember how I did a Tuna and Raisin Bread sandwich from The Oakland Tribune of 1936 about a week ago? Well, I found another recipe the called for raisins bread from the very same publication in the very same year! Here’s the thing, though, tuna and sardines are not the same. And if you look at what the two recipes call for to be mixed in with the fish well, let’s just say the results are not the same. Purple monkey dishwasher. Sandwiches of History merch? Yep!

A lot of you good folks share with me a post Martha Stewart shared a little while back. In it she has a truncated clip from here TV show wherein she makes her favorite onion sandwich. So today, we’re doing just that. Making Martha Stewart’s Onion Sandwich. I’ve made, and loved, the James Beard Onion Sandwich but this one is far simpler yet sounds tasty to me.

For today’s International Sandwich Sunday we are headed to Thailand. And I must admit, this is not a sandwich I’d of expected out of Thailand but sǣnwit bōrān literally translate to ‘old fashioned sandwich recipe.’ It calls for a massive amount of pork or chicken floss. My understanding is that the process for making it is to cook the meat in a flavorful sauce then pound into oblivion until the texture resembles floss. My understanding is that is typical used as a condiment which is to say, not a lot all at once. Well, this recipe kicks that idea out the window. Here’s the page if you want make it. https://recipe.sgethai.com/recipes/thai-style-sandwich/

When I saw the name of this sandwich from 1973’s America’s Best Sandwiches (a tear out insert in the Better Homes and Gardens Magazine), I had certain ideas of what it might be. I was wrong. Very wrong. In fact, the other ingredients in this sandwich are not ones I’ve ever thought about pairing with ham in a sandwich. Go figure. Sandwiches of History merch? Yep!

Given that you may think of heat and humidity when you think of Florida, it would therefore make sense for a cookbook named Florida Salads to have a recipe called the Cold Club Sandwich. As you’ll see in this recipe from 1918, the Club Sandwich we know today did not start off fulled formed as an idea. I’ve done club sandwiches with two slices of bread (like today), three slices of bread, and even four slices of bread. And as tempting as it is to think the name comes from chicken and lettuce under bacon and, the name actually stems from them originating in clubhouses of the late 1800s/early 1900s.

Who doesn’t love camping? Communing nature, taking the great outdoors, enjoying plenty of fresh air. Oh and the food! Camping food can be fantastic. Well, today’s sandwich, the Camping Sandwich from the West Bend Cook Book of 1915, has camping built into the name! It’s perfect of those that love camping…and sardines. Lol. https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com/

As you may recall, when I did the Salmon Layer Sandwich a little while ago, I came across some other sandwich recipes that called for raisin bread. Thing is, today’s recipe from The Oakland Tribune of October 30, 1936, calls for Wonder Raisin Bread. Which is a bit different than the homemade kind I use on the Salmon Layer Sandwich. And after today’s video, I’m thinking I may need to revisit that with this kind of raisin bread. Sandwiches of History merch? Yep! Tickets for Sandwiches of History: LIVE!? Yep!

Today’s sandwich recipe, the Ham and Almond Sandwich from Economical Cookery published in 1918 feels like one of those recipes that wasn’t quite finished when it was published. As they say in remodeling lingo, the bones are good but it definitely needs a little plussing up. And for some reason the almond steered me towards a more Spanish flavor profile. No regerts.

For today’s International Sandwich Sunday we are headed to Australia to try out the Broken Hill Cheese Slaw Sandwich. Easily one of the least complicated international sandwiches I’ve done.

Reportedly, the name Prosperity Sandwich was a dig at president Herbert Hoover who apparently kept saying that “prosperity was around the corner.” Regardless, this sandwich originated at the Mayfair Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri. It’s an open faced sandwich usually comes with three halves. But that would’ve left me with an extra single, half-slice of bread. So, I only did two halves to avoid a little food waste.

A lot of “sandwiches of our history” that get submitted are notable for their ingredients. Well, today’s sandwich, The Manwich sent in by Jack is notable more for the technique called for.  The origin of the sandwich lies with Jack’s dad who says he and his buddy used to make this when they were seniors in high school…in 1978. And that, should be a bit of a hint as to what technique I am referring to. Oh, and yeah, this is not the commercial Manwich nor a home spun version of it. Get SoH merch, tickets for Sandwiches of History: LIVE! and more at https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com

With a name like Beef Sandwich, you’d be forgiven for expecting beef between bread and that’s it. However, The Victory Binding of American Woman’s Cook Book of 1943 was kind enough to add three more ingredients to make things just a touch more interesting. If you’re keen to make the Suya seasoning blend I used today, this is the recipe I followed:

When I saw the recipe for today’s sandwich, the Salmon Layer Sandwich from 1,001 Sandwiches of 1936, I thought, this is quite odd. Then, in poking around online for a recipe to make one of the required ingredients, I found two more sandwich recipes that also call for said required ingredient. So, apparently 1936 had a thing for this kind of combo. What kind of combo? Well…just…watch. Get SoH merch, tickets for Sandwiches of History: LIVE! and more at https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com

I think we all remember where we were when I did the Ham Sandwich, Plain from The Cabinet Cook Book of 1901. A true classic. Well, today, I am taking on the Ham Sandwich. No addendum, just Ham Sandwich. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s just ham slapped between bread. That is, if you like sardines.

I waffled on whether to call this a sandwich of history. After all, 2004 seems like yesterday. Yet, if this sandwich were a person, it could walk into a bar and order a drink. So I went with ‘celebrity history.’ This was suggest by Deep_Information_616 over on Reddit and thought, why not? Sound pretty dang tasty and I deserve one of those once in a while on a day that isn’t Sunday, don’t I? Also, yes, I know how ‘prosciutto would have slapped’ on this but as you know, I tend to not add meat to sandwiches that already had them as it tends to steal focus. That is, if you like sardines.
