French Sandwich (1931) on Sandwiches of History⁣ First off, yes, I do verbally screw up and say 1932 in the video. The White Lily Flour Cook Book was actually published in 1931. My bad. Anywho, today’s sandwich name is bit cryptic. After all, there are a number of ways a French Sandwich can come to be defined as such. Let’s see how they did it 1931 style, shall we? #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Tony Danza’s Favorite Tomato Sandwich (celebrity history) on Sandwiches of History⁣ 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. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

North Shore Roast Beef (regional history) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Time for another sandwich of regional history. This time, we’re head to just north of Boston for the North Shore Roast Beef. More specifically, I am making the Super Beef Three Way. Super because of it’s size, “three way’ because it has American cheese, James River barbecue sauce (and yes, I am told it has to the be that one), and mayonnaise. @Bill Oakley #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Dagwood’s Favorite Sandwich (1947) on Sandwiches of History What? Another Dagwood sandwich? Yep! This time from Journal of the Société des Gentilshommes de Cuisine published in 1947. It seems this was kind of “men who like to cook” club back in the day. While this is the only sandwich recipe in it, there’s also ones for curry, corned beef and cabbage, and various cuts of meat cooked on a barbecue. This recipe was send in to the journal by Aurthur Lake who played Dagwood on the Blondie tv show back in the day. And it is different than the Skyscraper Sandwich aka The Dagwood published in the official Blondie Cook Book also from 1947. Go figure. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Miner’s Sandwich (Grandad Joe) on Sandwiches of History Last week the world famous GrandadJoe1933 posted a video of him making the Miner’s Sandwich. Scads of you awesome folks shared it with me and thought, “yeah I need to try that.” So today, we’re giving the Miner’s Sandwich as presented by Grandad Joe, a go. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory @Grandadjoe

Bacon and Tomato Double Decker Sandwich (1956) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Sure, you might imagine that the Bacon and Tomato Double Decker from 1956’s American People’s Cook Book might have more going on than just bacon and tomato. But I’m fairly certain most wouldn’t guess what that one special secret ingredient is. Having done recipes from mid-century though, I wasn’t terribly surprised. In fact, it sounded good. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Franz Steak Sandwich (1937) on Sandwiches of History Today, from Ten Ways To Serve Franz Bread, we gonna check out the Franz Steak Sandwich. But don’t be expecting a filet mignon or ribeye. No, this bad boy uses the widely available supermarket staple, the cube steak. And I am here for it. After all the steak has been poked by a machine (though back in the day it was done with a hand tool) to tenderize it and make it so it cooks quicker. There aren’t a ton of ingredients in this sandwich but it is fine example of how sometimes less is more. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory @Franz Bakery Brands

Suya Sandwich (Cameroon) on Sandwiches of History⁣ For today’s International Sandwich Sunday we are headed back to Cameroon. That’s right, Cameroon! This time for the Suya Sandwich. Beef marinated in a spicy, savory peanut seasoning blend, then grilled, and sandwiched. along with a few other ingredients, of course. This is another knockout of a sandwich, folks. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Diasy Sandwich (1916) on Sandwiches of History I think it is reasonable to think that perhaps this sandwich would contain actual daisies. Or that the sandwich would be cut to look like a daisy. Nope, they get to the daisy part in a unique and interesting way. Yes, the good folks from 1916’s Salads Sandwiches and Chafing Dish Recipes delivered a recipe that surprised and delighted. Go figure. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Prosperity Sandwich (1925) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Reportedly, the name Prosperity Sandwich was a dig at president Herbert Hoover who apparently kept saying that “prosperity was around the corner.” EDIT: Hoover didn’t take office until 1929 which is when the Great Depression began. So the recipe would have to be later than 1925. 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. Whaddya gonna do? #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Hot Sandwich (1936) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Some sandwich names are abundantly transparent. The Hot Sandwich from 1,001 Sandwiches of 1936 is not one of them. Turns out it’s a low key Sloppy Joe-esque number that is actually a pretty good jumping off point plus up-wise. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Martha Stewart’s Onion Sandwich Sandwich (our history) on Sandwiches of History 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. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory @Martha Stewart

Manwich (our history) on Sandwiches of History 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. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Salmon Layer Sandwich (1936) on Sandwiches of History⁣ 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. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

The Leslie Sandwich (our history) on Sandwiches of History When Michael send in this sandwich and the story behind it I knew it must be made. His friend Leslie who watched Sandwiches of History recently lost his battle with cancer, Michael said that this was his go-to sandwich. I only wish he could’ve seen it as it is a tasty little number. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Officer Bill Gannon Garlic Nut Butter Sandwich of Dragnet (1960s) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Oh yes, we are back with another sandwich from Officer Bill Gannon of the TV show Dragnet. You may recall I did his Dagwood-esque sandwich a little while back and it turned out to be quite good. Well, today’s sandwich, his Garlic Nut Butter Sandwich seemed a bit iffy to me. Then I tried. May it’s because I’m becoming an old man but I was impressed. So much so that I did not one, not two, but three plus ups! #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Satay Beef Sandwich (Hong Kong) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Man, it seems like International Sandwich Sunday happens every week! Anyway, this week we’re headed to Hong Kong for the Satay Beef Sandwich. Yes, satay was purportedly created in Indonesia but tasty food travels. And this sandwich is from the scene in Hong Kong from what I’ve read. At any rate, it sounded delicious so I had to give it a go, ya dig? #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Hudson Sandwich (1922) on Sandwiches of History⁣ You may recall a while back I did the Crisco Sandwich from the 1924. That sandwich, as the name implied, called for a lot of Crisco vegetables shortening. And it was bad. really bad. So when I saw the recipe for the Hudson Sandwich in the Gold Medal Book of Sandwiches from 1922 call for shortening as ingredient I thought, “Ugh, here we go again.” Except, this turned out different. What gives? Well, the amount called for made a huuuuge difference. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Snappy Sandwich (1920) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Who doesn’t love a Snappy Sandwich? And with ‘snappy’ in the title you might be included to think that the authors of The Calendar Of Sandwiches and Beverages of 1920 were going for a double meaning. Snappy in flavor and a snap to make. Unfortunately, yes to the former, no to the latter as we have to make some ingredients before we can even get to building the sandwich. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory

Singapore Sardine Sandwich (Cameroon) on Sandwiches of History⁣ Oooh, today’s International Sandwich Sunday is sure to cause a little stir. After all, the Singaporean Sardine Sandwich’s main ingredient is, well, sardines. But here’s the thing, it isn’t just sardines. No, in fact, it has a host of other ingredient that make for tasty sandwich. That is, if you like sardines. #fyp #sandwichesofhistory
