Ngl I will never recover from learning that Americans don’t use butter as the foundation for all sandwiches. You fucking freaks put mayo or whatever on it, or just rawdog a slice of (probably awful) cheese. Demonic and horrible.
Butter-like substance is a must for any sandwich. You want a moisture barrier.
I also haven’t recovered from learning the mayo thing.
Yeah margarine works great too tastes the same and is usually easier to spread right out of the fridge
Spaniards putting olive oil in their bocadillos :pineapple-cool:
It’s just buttered bread. If the bread is good it’ll taste nice
I’m sorry to inform you that that’s an open-face butter sandwich. It’s unconventional but it is legal.

If a buttered bread is legitimately a sandwich - isn’t a slice of bread a sandwich too? I’m not a rhetorician but I do think the Ship of Theseus needs more than one part.
Open-face bread sandwich is a legal sandwich
I hope you realize the nature of the ontological can of worms you’re opening here.
I checked and the can is empty. What does that mean?
Sorry about that, hon. It seems that the line cook forgot the worms on your worm sandwich (sub gluten-free iron-enriched wrap). I’ll throw this out, make a new one from scratch, and get your sandwich to you in a jiffy.
One part ship, one part…what else do you even need?
Hmm… I never spend time around kids but I’ll make up a story about a four year old anyway.
“It’s a ship!”
“But it’s just one piece of lego.”
“Yeah. But it’s a ship!”
Can a dino be a dino if it’s only one piece?
I’m not a rhetorician but I do think the Ship of Theseus needs more than one part.
how does the open-face butter sandwich not do this?
An entire wikipedia article for butter on bread. I guess they will add it on UNESCO as German heritage soon too to keep the count of those equal between Germany and France and somehow either greater than India and Middle-east combined.
NGL, sometimes when I’m really hungry but also feeling tired and don’t want anything fancy or heavy in my stomach, a nice slice of bread with some good butter on it is the best snack. Makes me feel like a proper medieval peasant.
Butter is grand. My favorite snack is a toasted green chile bagel with butter and a little olive oil. It has to be toasted though. The bagels live in the fridge or freezer. If I put them in my breadbox - the chile bits get moldy super-fast.
I love a good everything bagel with cream cheese. Best breakfast, get some ice coffee on the side.

BAD INFLUENCE - haha. I had to go cold turkey because I was drinking an enormous amount of the stuff. I haven’t had a drop in 6+ months. I’ve been a very, very good boy though. I never thought I’d manage to go this long without allowing myself to have a cup. Maybe I’ll allow myself some for Halloween.
Caffeine addiction is def a thing, but I honestly enjoy the taste of coffee and I don’t think I’ve ever had more than 3 cups in a single day. I go plenty of days without it at all, and when I do have it, it’s usually just as a little pick me up when I’m feeling groggy.
Caffeine doesn’t really make me jittery, I actually find it has almost a calming effect on me, like it makes me more alert but in a focused way. Mind you my mom will be up all night if she has a single chocolate bar so IDK why this is the case.
A slice of pizza is an open faced sandwich
it’s not a sandwich, that’s why there’s a whole section on comparing it to sandwiches. I grew up with butterbread and my ancestry and where i lived was pretty german so that’s interesting.
Fun fact, in Dutch and German (pretty sure? But with the German word of course) you call each piece of bread a “boterham” in a classical 2 bread sandwich. So if you say “I brought 2 boterhammen for lunch” everyone imagines 1 sandwich of 2 bread slices.
This becomes even funnier because people often cut their sandwiches corner to corner, creating 2 different 1/2boterham +1/2boterham sides that come together to make 1 boterham in the shape of a triangle with stuff between. So you can either count the original bread slices for the amount of “boterhammen” or count the triangular half sandwiches.

Let me introduce the chip butty
What a great page. Not only was it informative - it made me laugh a few times. I wish more Wikipedia pages were enjoyable reads like it.
only sandwich i’ll eat
How in god’s name is this a sandwich???
Me, screaming at my Conservative Dutch wife.
So I guess by the German rendering, this is literally the only kind of sandwich in Bri*ain
This should be a struggle session
Is avo on toast a sarnie?
It doesn’t need two pieces *sandwiched * together
Ask the Earl of Sandwich, see what they think
Are sarnies exactly the same thing as a sandwiches? I
desparet;yldesperately need to know. I wanna get a stew goin’.-–
I really need to buy a new keyboard. I hate it. I feel like I’m typing on rubbery stones yet this keyboard has been shit for so long I’ll strangely miss it when I finally toss it.
Aye it’s just slang, like butty
It is still considered Butterbrot or boterham even if additional toppings, such as cheese, spreads, or lunch meats, are added, as long as it begins with a slice of bread with butter.
In modern Russian the term has a more general meaning, whatever the ingredient on top of the slice of bread is
Cw:meat
I’m imagining redditors at breakfast.
“It’s a sandwich.”
“It’s a slice of toast. That’s not a sandwich!”
“No! It’s a sandwich! How could you forget about butterbrot???”
“It’s a friggin’ slice of toast. That’s not a sandwich!”
A third redditor comes in. “Oh, my god! Not again!” They are about to leave but then they notice something brand-new. “Is that a hippopotamus-shaped cutting board?”
