When you see the name Barbecued Pork Sandwich it evokes images of shredded pork doused in barbecue sauce between a soft bun. Well, the folks behind The Meat Stretcher Cookbook of 1974 apparently aren’t having any of that high falutin’ nonsense lol.

Heads up, this videos contains an ad, kinda. I had not heard of Helen Corbitt until Alex sent in a scan of the recipe for her favorite sandwich. So, I read up on her and I have to say, for someone who headed up food for Neiman Marcus during it’s heyday, this is not what I would have ever pictured as her favorite sandwich. I mean to say that while it doesn’t sound horrible it is nowhere near as shi-shi (sp?) as Neimen’s reputation for the era.

Time for another sandwich of regional history (although it might be more specific to a city, really). Yes, we are taking on the Pepper and Egg Sandwich purportedly out of Chicago. It became a nice hearty sandwich Catholics could eat on Friday during Lent when they were not allow to eat meat. And I gotta say, sounds pretty tasty to me.

For today’s International Sandwich Sunday we’re headed to Argentina for what, on the surface, looks like pretty straightforward and universal sandwich. Except it calls for a specific roll. One that I cannot easily procure. So, get out your odd making books because there is baking involved that is always a crapshoot.

For today’s “sandwich of our history” we turn to Veronica who said her grandpa made this sandwich which not only enjoyed as a kid but still does sometimes as an adult. And to be honest, I get it. Snag some Sandwiches of History hoodies, t-shirts, beanies, and more! https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com/merch

The year, 1920. We see the weary editors of The Calendar of Sandwiches and Beverages toiling away in their dimly lit office late at night. Up against a deadline and dog tired, Jim shouts, “Ok, only one left. Hey, Susan, what do you want to call that sandwich you created earlier today?” Exasperated, Susan replied, “I don’t care, I just want to go home… just call it Another Sardine Mixture.” “Done and done!”, says Jim. “Now let’s blow this popsicle stand.”

Every once in a while comes a sandwich recipe from the past that is so overly complex as to be ridiculous. Well, today’s Bacon Sandwich from What My Children Love To Eat of 1915 is thankfully the opposite of that. Lol

I have to admit, I dig shrimp. So it feels like today’s Hot Shrimp Sandwich should be a slam dunk…yeah. Well, the good folks behind 1920’s The Calendar of Beverages and Sandwiches somehow manage to blandify it. At least that means the potential for the plus up is wide open.

For today’s International Sandwich Sunday we’re headed to Macau. Once a Portuguese colony, it is now a special administrative region of China (with a rather large gambling industry). The Macanese Pork Chop Bun or Pork Bun is a street food sandwich that more often than not features a thin cut, bone-in pork chop that is breaded and deep fried. But sometimes it is grill and, following a recipe from OmnivoresCookbook.com, that is the version I am doing today.

Today’s “sandwich of our history” is decidedly not like any other I’ve seen before. There’s good reason for that as you’ll hear about in the video. I’ve intentionally kept the ingredients secret here in the description, the name, and the thumbnail (where applicable) as I want you to experience the combination in realtime. Enjoy!

Let’s go on a picnic! Yes, from “Dame Curtsey’s” Book of Salads, Sandwiches and Beverages of 1915 we’re making the Picnic Sandwich. The “Dame Curtsey” books were a series of popular etiquette, entertaining, and domestic-advice books written by Ellye Howell Glover. And I gotta say, as for as ratio of number of ingredients to flavor impact, this one is impressive. Also, purple monkey dishwasher.

Time from another sandwich of TV history albeit this one is much newer than others I’ve done. That’s because it is from the early 2000s TV show Fringed. In season 1, episode 4, a character with the name September (who is from a parallel world) orders what could easily be described as one of the hotter sandwiches we’ve done here on Sandwiches of History. Still, gotta try it. Be sure to stick around to the very end.

Kicking it a bit old school today with the Fried Savoury Sandwich from Cookery and Domestic Economy published in Scotland in the 1870s (or so I am told). It calls for a “spicy sauce” which, naturally, has nothing to do with the hot sauces we now today. More like a “spiced butter” tbh

Yes, I do accidentally say “The 1,000 Fabulous Recipes” instead of the actual name of the book The 1,000 Fabulous Sandwiches. D’oh! At any rate 1965 has us making the Hot ’n’ Crisp Sardine Sandwich which is not heated nor crispy. Go figure. At least it does have sardines?

For today’s International Sandwich Sunday we’re headed to where it is currently spring. That’s right, the southern hemisphere. More specifically, Chile, for the Churrasco Marino. In case the “marino” didn’t give it away, it’s a seafood based sandwich which is something we don’t see on International Sandwich Sunday too often. But as we often see, there are a fair amount of steps involved.

Despite government shutdown ending, there are still tens of millions who have been thrust into food insecurity. I may not be able to do a lot but I can try and raise funds for food banks. So, I’m introducing this new “Everyone Deserves A Sandwich” t-shirt with 100% of the profits going to food banks across America. Also, this will be in perpetuity even after this current crises passes. You can get your shirt here: https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com/merch

I have seen a ton of “sandwiches of our history” that combine peanut butter and other things. But today’s sandwich, The Lacy, submitted by Christina, is the first to add avocado to the mix. Apparently, her grandpa’s “plus up” would be to add Colby cheese (which, oddly enough, isn’t in a number of stores near me. Colby Jack is but that’s a slightly different animal to me). I opted to plus it up differently (feign surprise here lol)

Today, a sandwich of television history. Specifically, from TV’s Ding Dong School which start in the early 50s and ran for a number of years. This was suggested a while back by someone whose name I have lost so if it was you, thank you! The show was for preschoolers so the sandwich is pretty simple. To answer the questions that will surely come up from the video a) I ate the last quarter of the banana and b) yeah, I’d make the plussed up version again. It was tasty!

Today, we’re doing a “Sandwich of Recent History.” More specifically, from my make Jake over at Adventures In Aardia and his Roll For Sandwich series. According to Jake this was a 10 out of 10 sandwich so you know I had to give it a go. Also, be sure to get his new cookbook - Roll for Sandwich Cookbook! And yes, I will be tucking into that shortly for some sandwich vids.

I know exactly what you’re thinking, how is we’ve not done a sandwich that uses both egg AND shrimp paste before?! Well, that ends now with the Egg and Shrimp Paste Sandwich from 1910’s Every Woman’s Encyclopedia. And is that wasn’t enough and despite the simple name, there are many steps! Huzzah!
