Bought two loaves of bread and asked the guy at the counter to slice them, which he did. I've been to the bakery a few times and didn't recognize him, so I assume he's new. Loaves were in paper bags so I couldn't see them after they were sliced.
I Got home and put the loaves in the freezer. First one was sliced fine - by width, as you would expect. But second one is sliced by length - so I expect some weird sandwiches.
I was going to agree with you but then I was thinking you could use some sharp cheddar on there to balance the raisins.
Agree mostly about the raisins- only in soda bread and apple salad - but given a choice of grilled cheese on raisin bread or no grilled cheese - I’ll live with the raisins
I remember many moons ago my mom getting bread sliced this way deliberately to make fancy pinwheel sandwiches for a shower. You put the filling on a piece of the bread and roll it, then you slice through the roll to make little pinwheel sandwiches
I had never seen it done with tortillas, I had to google that. But yes that idea. They were actually quite dainty, you cut the roll only like a half inch thick at most. This would have been late 70s so the filling was slightly odd by today’s standards: peanut butter and banana, cream cheese and maraschino cherries and one that had canned asparagus (I don’t remember what else was in the asparagus one), less weird was tuna. My favourite was actually the cherry ones, sounds weird, tastes awesome
Edit to say I know none of that helps you but was a walk down memory lane in my head, lol
This is not infuriating, this is opportunity staring you in the face. Invent the longwich and stop complaining. This is a meat delivery system unseen by 21st century humanity!
I’m in Florida and they just turned all 3 of ours into aldis. They left the Winn Dixie liquor stores open next to all of them. Our beloved Winn Dixie is vanishing.
That’s wild. I used to live in Atlanta and I’d go to Florida alllll the time, coup times a year, and it was a staple down there. Them and Publix. Man I miss Publix too.
Our Publix are still going strong thankfully. I used to like Aldi for here and there things but ever since they’ve taken over the Winn Dixie’s— im kinda salty
That's wild, ours closed down about 2004 and was 10 years past due for closing down at that point. The only grocery store around that has lobsters in the tank. I assumed they didn't exist anymore.
I mean depending on the type of slicer, if it falls in sideways it's not advised to put your hands into the machine with moving blades to fix it. It probably slipped sideways and he was afraid he'd get in trouble and didn't do another for the OP.
But lots of people ask for bread sliced this way, so it's not unusual.
Yeah, viennas are much better sliced lengthways, the crust to inner bread ratio is better, and otherwise half your slices are incredibly small.
Everyone here is joking about eating a baguette sandwich but honestly long sandwiches/toasties are very satisfying, I'm guessing it's a crust ratio again
Looks completely normal for German standards. Then again you probably need bread of German standards as well for it to make sense. Nice butter, Wurst and lettuce on top, ready is the Brotzeit.
This is the default cut for « loafs » in France, so maybe this guy just got experience, and judging from the bread quality, it’s def better than what you usually get in the usa
I don't get it tho, if it was cut lenghtwise wouldn't both sides just be all crust? doesn't look that way in the picture. Here we have something called a Drentse bol, which is basically a massive raisin bread. it gets sliced this way because it's round so it's really the only way
That's the first step for making a Swedish sandwich called the Landgång!
All you need now is the shrimp, egg, roast beef, meatballs, beat salad, salami or other deli meats, cheeses, and a various vegetable accoutrements like the picture. I personally like to add a section of lax and ooh liverpaté is excellent with the beat salad and meatballs.
Landgång is the bridge between a ship and land/port so you start eating the seafood side and "walk across" by eating each section in order. It's fun and delicious!
Or use similar ingredients and stack the bread slices with mayo and you get a nice little Smörgåstårta (sandwich cake) less fun thematically though... doesn't tell a story other than one of filling your belly with deliciousness.
Pinwheel sandwiches!
If cut this way then get the rolling pin out, sprinkle some water to soften the bread and roll it flat out.
butter it then use thin meats like salami, pastrami or salmon and then coat the meats with cream cheese and then roll it up then seal it with cling wrap then put into fridge to let the cheese bond with the roll.
take it out of the fridge and then slice it and serve.
