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?

        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?

            I think it depends on personal preference and what kind of user you are.

            If you are going to engage in trolling and just being the kind of person someone wouldn’t want to hire its probably best to hide your identify.

            Likewise of you just want to keep it a secret.

            My identity has been out there on the internet for a long time. Ran a web community, work in IT. I might delve into grayer topics on social media than on LinkedIn, but I try to check myself and ensure I’m considering others and my behavior before allowing myself to just pump raw emotion into comments.

            Not going to claim to be 100% successful at either of those but hey I try.

            I limit what information is shared about me as much as I can afford to given the nature of the industry I work in.

              Fair enough. I actually respect it and think it might make for a nicer community if more people did it. It’s just so hard for me to relate as someone who has engaged in communities like this for 20+ years completely anonymously.

    Hmm, I am the better cook. But assuming we have the materials, a roast beef sandwich with sharp cheddar and horseradish, on rye.

    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. :)

          In Vietnam, they had bread that was basically tender like milk bread, but with a slightly stronger crust, so just grabbing it, no matter how carefully would result in compressing the inner bun while fracturing the crust.

    I would be happy for a simple grilled cheese. Pretty hard to mess up, tastes great, quick. Best comfort food! 🙈

    2 slices of spelt bread, toasted, ( the real one, not colored wheat), miracle whip with a dash of German mustard, thin roasted pork, real Dutch Gouda, thin slice, a bit of salad (optionally with a few thin pieces of beetroot), 2 small tomatoes on the side with good salt and a bunch of mixed freshly ground pepper (red, white, black) on the tomatoes, comes with it a large cacao. There you go.

        Can’t tell you mate, no identificable information from me, but just look for small places like food trucks or tiny establishments with lots of people on the line, and I bet that sandwich will be better than anything someone could do at their home.

    In the bit, I imagine she should know his sandwich and its peculiars by then.

    It differs in that someone else makes it while he continues the important work of sitting and drinking.

    I imagine the small mercy in this Al Bundy kinda situation is that his sandwich is probably pretty simple and boring, mayo and baloney sorta thing, instead of a proper lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, oil, peppers, maybe olives and bologna sorta thing.

    Whichever one I’ve asked for from the local sandwich shop. He probably could make a sandwich at home but I’d have to carry it into the living room to eat anyway, so I’d just make the sandwiches!

    My partner’s favourite sandwich is cheese and honey. I don’t do savoury and sweet at the same time. No partner sandwiches for me.
