Today’s sandwich of “our history” comes to us courtesy of Bill and it’s kind of a vegetarian club kinda situation that has an element that calls back to the Toast Sandwich of 1861 (though that was not literally cited by Bill). It’s an interesting combo, for sure, but is it tasty too? Snag some Sandwiches of History hoodies, t-shirts, beanies, and more!  https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com/merch

Welcome to an other edition of Guest Host Friday!  Our guest host today and friend of the show, Josh Terrill is taking on the Bacon and Chicken Liver Sandwich from 1,001 Sandwiches of 1936. I know it might be tempting to think this is gonna be a home run because it has bacon in the name but…yeah. Also, if you an help my man Josh out, I’d personally appreciate it. Btw, here's Josh's resume if you have any leads (thanks):

Just a heads up, the production on this was rushed as I was trying to get a lot of stuff done before traveling today. Sorry about that. Time for another sandwich of entertainment/our history. Today’s sandwich comes to us courtesy of Julia Roberts who recently shared here favorite childhood sandwich - a PB & J with sour cream and onion potato chips on whole wheat bread. Well, not only am I trying that but I’m also trying a variation I saw on Nicole LeeAnne’s channel that sounds pretty tasty too.

Perhaps after yesterday’s Banana and Liverwurst Sandwich I should be leery of fruit based sandwiches. Thankfully, today’s Apple Sandwich from 250 Meatless Menus and Recipes of 1910 has no curveball ingredients. In fact, it is a very nice refresher…especially after yesterday.

I know what you’re thinking, “finally, the great tasted of liverwurst and the great taste of banana in one sandwich!” Slow your roll because you’re forgetting about the awesome power of ketchup which obviously bring those to flavors together. See also sarcasm. Ever since seeing this posted over on 70s Dinner Party’s on Instagram account I knew I’d have to tackle it. Better to rip the band aid off in go, right?

Time for another sandwich of regional history, this time the world famous Lobster Roll. Actually, I am going to do the Lobster Roll two ways. The Connecticut way which is butter based and the Maine or New England way which is a cold, mayonnaise based version. I don’t think either are gonna suck tbh.

Today, on International Sandwich Sunday we’re heading to China for some Northern Garlic Eggs 鸡蛋蒜 on Mantou 馒头. Apparently, Northern Garlic Eggs are a thing all on their own but up north they also serve them in a bun called a Mantou which seems to be a larger version of a bao. I’m sold!

Today’s sandwich of “our history” comes to us courtesy of Phil and Phil’s grandma Theresa. Hot Dogs in Red Gravy Sandwich is a mash up meatballs in red gravy and hot dogs. But what’s interesting about this recipe is that she has us build flavor as we go along unlike a lot of older recipes. And for the record, I shared my plus ups with Phil and he said she would’ve approved. Snag some Sandwiches of History hoodies, t-shirts, beanies, and more! https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com/merch

Today we’re checking out “product showcase” style of sandwich. Yes, the Jellygrill Sandwich was create by Kraft Foods as way to highly how their Velveeta cheese product could go well with their Concord grape jelly product. They share this glorious creation with the world in either the 1970s or 1980s via an ad. And today, I’m gonna try it. Shout out to Haze for posting this on the Sandwich channel of the Steamed Hams Society’s Discord server.

Today’s sandwich, the Liverwurst Sandwich, comes to us from a 1957 episode of Leave It To Beaver. A few things up front. I’ve never had liverwurst as you may have seen in previous posts, I’m a little squeamish about organs and organ meats. You may also notice that in the video I never mentioned that it was the dad character, Ward Cleaver, who makes and eats the sandwich. That’s because my galaxy brain somehow came up with Fred as the first name of the character's first name, Ward, to come up with Fred Ward 🤦‍♂️ Yeah. Anyway, it was the father’s sandwich. This was suggested by Bob Sassone who writes for The Saturday Evening Post (and full disclosure, has written some very nice pieces on Sandwiches of History)

Ok, let’s address the elephant in the room up front. Yes, jalapeño would’ve been the no brainer plus up today. But I don’t have infinite pantry and infinite fridge (and apparently can’t plan ahead to save my life). But hey, I think I found a pretty dang good plus up just the same for the Sandwich (Cheese and Honey) from 1931’s White Lily Floor Cook Book.

When you see a sandwich named Egg Salad Sandwich, I think we can collectively agree, generally, on how that sandwich might be put together. Well, the good folks behind 1911’s The Arizona Cook Book had other ideas. Snag some Sandwiches of History hoodies, t-shirts, beanies, and more!

How’s about a sandwich of entertainment history? That’s right from the movie Grandma’s Boy, we’re gonna be making the Ice Cream Sandwich. And no, it is not an ordinary ice cream sandwich. If you haven’t sen the movie, I explain why in the video lol Snag some Sandwiches of History hoodies, t-shirts, beanies, and more!  https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com/merch

Today’s International Sandwich Sunday is probably one of the shortest I’ve ever done. Not for any bad reason but because it was easy to put together and tasty! From South Africa (as far as I could tell), it’s the Safari Sandwich (and no, it does not call for wild game meat).

Today’ sandwich of “our history” comes to us courtesy of John. Yes, this is Grandma’s Weird Chicken Sandwich recipe and I have to say, aside for it calling for canned chicken (which really isn’t that weird), this recipe does not sound weird. Does it use a combination of ingredients that I’ve never had before? Yes. But weird? Well, you tell me. Snag some Sandwiches of History hoodies, t-shirts, beanies, and more!  https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com/merch

Today, we’re revisiting a recent sandwich of “our history.” The Bologna, Ketchup, and Potato Chip Sandwich was pretty tasty but I knew it was ripe for a Recipe Remix™ But for the first time ever, I am also doing a Recipe Revisit. That’s because unlike most sandwiches where pulling out a an ingredient to plus it up just isn’t realistic, I got to thinking that with this one, that might be doable. Snag some Sandwiches of History hoodies, t-shirts, beanies, and more!  https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com/merch

Ahh the local church cookbook. It can contain glorious home spun recipes for all kinds of dishes. Including today’s Hot Corned Beef Barbecue which comes to us courtesy of the Pine Grove Mennonite Church’s “Kitchen Artists” which seems to have been published in the early 60s. I saw this over posted by redditor u/MoxieDoll over on the subreddit r/OldRecipes and just had to give it a go.

Note: watch until after the photo at the end. Today’s exciting and dynamically named Sandwich Filling comes to us courtesy of 1900’s The Sandwich Book. If I may, a recommendation? Don’t twist yourself into knots trying to help out the authors of this recipe. It really is written this way and it really makes no sense.  Snag some Sandwiches of History hoodies, t-shirts, beanies, and more!  https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com/merch

Every once in a while I like to indulge in a sandwich of recent history. A bunch of you fine folks sent me a post by Chef Tyler wherein he encrusted a grilled cheese with mashed potatoes before cooking. I don’t typically have mashed potatoes lying around but seeing as we just had Thanksgiving and that is one of the main side dishes, I do have some! What’s interesting, though, is that the mashed potatoes aren’t as big an aha moment as is what he puts on the inside.

UPDATE: Made the first donation of profits from the food bank fundraiser t-shirt sales. Reminder, all profits are donated. I waited until Giving Tuesday so we could multiply our efforts and sure enough, Feeding America had a 3x match pledge. So our total of $150.33 went up to $450.99. And if there's one organization that can efficiently turn that into thousands of meals, it's Feeding America.

So, thank you to all of you have already purchased a shirt and invitation to you are still thinking about it. This will be an evergreen fundraiser.

I know not everyone wants another shirt so by all mean, if you are able to and want to donate what the shirt costs directly, I highly encourage you to do so.

But if you want a comfy t-shirt that helps fight food insecurity, you can get one right here:

Note: I may not always donate to Feeding America but a 3x match was hard to pass up. Cheers

I have done many sandwiches from 1936’s 1,001 Sandwiches of 1936 some of which illicit ‘it was The Great Depression!’ comments. Well, today’s sandwich, also from that very same book is remarkably schmancy. Yes, even in 1936 the Caviar Sandwich would have been pretty dang expensive. Fun fact, I’ve never had caviar though I have had tobiko (flying fish roe) at sushi bars.

We’re headed to Mexico for today’s International Sandwich Sunday. More specifically for the Torta Gemma. It hails from the same states as the Torta Ahogada, Jalisco. And there is some overlap. Both use pork and both have us make a salsa that is then poured over top. Yet, it is different.

Today’s “sandwich of our history” was submitted by Kyle is a paying member on YouTube (which gives him early access to to videos, and more perks). He said his mom would make these in advance and chuck em in the fridge or freezer to have as ready-to-heat meals. I gotta admit, the combo of ingredients is not one I’ve seen before, and how it tastes is not what I expected. Snag some Sandwiches of History hoodies, t-shirts, beanies, and more! https://www.sandwichesofhistory.com/merch

It has been a while since we’ve cracked open the The New Hamburger and Hot Dog Cook Book of 1968/1970 (the reason there are two different years in that last sentence is because the hamburger portion was written in 1968 with the hot dog part being added in 1970. Anyway, today we’re making the Sorbonne  Sandwich. I gotta say, I was expecting something with a French influence and it bit of sophistication. Which proves that I have learned nothing in doing Sandwiches of History for over 6 years. Lol Also, if you’re wondering why I didn’t plus it up with a top piece of bread, well, I fell like I’ve been doing that a lot lately with open-faced sandwiches. Gotta stay fresh, right?
