In some 2000-10s comedy, “bish, make me a sandwich” is a common punchline. It begs the question, what goes in the sandwich?
As a follow up, how does that differ from the sandwich you might make for yourself?
Always into a good Denim sandwich myself.
A Jandwich if you willl.
I gotta ask. Is that a picture of you (like, actually you) in your profile pic?
Yes. Though its dated now. Really didn’t have any bright ideas for an avatar when I joined.
EDIT: Updated it to match my tenforward.social one.
That’s so surprising. Coming from reddit, it was so rare to see people using IRL information in their profile. Is it more common in some lemmy communities?
OK, here’s what you do, you followin’ me camera guy?
You take chicken breasts and put them in a ziploc bag with some soy sauce and let them refrigerate overnight.
The next day, you cube them, skewer them and grill them until done.
On a large onion bun, you paint one side with hoisin sauce, one side with thai peanut sauce, then you put the chicken on the bun.
Top with a combination of shredded carrots, cabbage, and purple cabbage, soaked in sweet chili sauce.
Put the bun together, wrap in foil, serve warm, and enjoy.
It’s a sandwich so good it can enslave lesser minds.
Bahn mi, here at any rate, is served on crusty French bread with cilantro and mayo and is pork rather than chicken, but I get the similarity. :)
Now you both have my undivided attention.
Partner will never make for me because she’s not a fan of white condiments and thinks cilantro tastes like soap but….
Both versions sound very interesting.
Like interesting e ough to consider getting up off my big fat tail and making it myself, imagine that…
That’s not really a banh mi, banh mi is on a French roll, typically with mayo, paté, various protein options (Vietnamese cold cuts are common, grilled pork/chicken, meatballs/sausage, tofu, etc), pickled carrots and daikon radish, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeños. At least from my experience. I’m not sure how strict a definition it has, but it definitely comes on a French roll. They’re absolutely delicious, I highly recommend you try one! That other sandwich sounds good too though.
That’s not really a banh mi, they are baguettes. Also a ton of different “fillings” can go into one of those, so it’s good to be specific.
Sounds great, though.
Since it’s “good to be specific.”
Honestly, I don’t. Because I make them better.
My GF is awesome at many things, some of them includes food. But when it comes to sandwiches I am simply better at making them precisely how I like them.
And this is where i started a “having said that…”-sentence with the intent of describing the elaborate process of making me the perfect sandwich, but I realize that I can’t be arsed typing it all out. Peace.
If they made me a real Reuben sandwich, on rye and with the sauce and everything, I’d do anything for them.
A sandwich I’d make for myself likely just consists of turkey lunchmeat, a few slices of cheese, and some lettuce.
Jesus, show yourself the love you deserve. Or don’t expect someone to do something you yourself aren’t even willing to do.
Hmm, I am the better cook. But assuming we have the materials, a roast beef sandwich with sharp cheddar and horseradish, on rye.
