Combining the sausage and the tomato sauce deadened the unique but subtle flavors of each a bit, but the combined flavor was good, and the butter kept the sandwich from being too dry. A solid combination, but nothing I’d rush to repeat.
The final step includes adding sugar and bringing the marmalade to its setting point, somewhere just north of the boiling point of water. Of course where there is room for human error, I will find a way to make it.
Fish finger sandwiches may be a classic comfort food in England–even chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson list these sandwiches among their favorite guilty pleasures–but one man’s indulgence is another man’s indigestion.
Almost every English-language writeup online that I’ve found of the Finnish Porilainen sandwich–and there aren’t all that many, to be honest, but hey! we’re adding to that number–uses some form of the phrase “a...
The jam sandwich. White bread. Strawberry jam. What in the heck am I supposed to write about a jam sandwich? Should I write a thinkpiece about how millenials are ruining snacks? Or a series...
Full disclosure: for the past 10 years, I’ve basically been the shitty dad from every kids’ movie who misses the important Little League game. Not that my kids have ever been in Little League...
The South has given us many things over the years. Barbecue. The Drive-By Truckers. Louisiana hot sauce. Fried Chicken and Faulkner. Biscuits and gravy. Of course, for every Alton Brown there’ll be a Paula...
Let me tell you something about fluffernutters–they’ve gotta be just about the goofiest thing I’ve tried while working on this website. I mean, I’ve done the Elvis, the Elvis in Hawaii, the British Rail...
Fairy bread is a party treat from the antipodes. Crit wrote about it once already–you can read her take here. They (she included, as our down-under correspondent) serve it at kids’ parties in Australia and...
Jim Behymer (402)I like sandwiches.
I like a lot of other things too but sandwiches are pretty great
Crit (27)I'm a mother of two boys. I work selling organic produce to gullible locals, and in my spare time I run as far as I can. Oh, and I live in Australia, married to a US citizen.
Drew (14)I'm a transgender weirdo who loves music, books, comics, and all kinds of other geeky crap. I edit an arts/music/culture magazine in my hometown of Richmond VA (rvamag.com). But let's not talk about my day job. Let's talk about food. I love food.
Brian (7)I'm a tax guy and technical writer living in the city known to its locals as The Big 'Ago. I self-identify as a fighter against culinary dogma, a sandwich lover, and an overly-earnest hot dog enthusiast.
juliachildish (4)No denying it, I like the sensual things of the world, especially good food and drink, though I'm no snob when it comes to either. A background in American cultural history and food studies makes me approach the world with a desire for contextualization and connection on the way to synthesis.
Thom (1)I'm a seafood-obsessed environmental scientist from North Carolina currently enduring the pain of living in a landlocked state. I spend most of my free time thinking about baseball, history, Shaw Bros. movies and weird synthesizer music.
Marinus (1)A South African now living in Australia, after 12 years in New Zealand and 4 in Ireland. Has worked as an academic researcher for the past decade, which is only slightly less time than it took him to fulfil his promise of writing an entry for the blog.
