Open Faced Sandwiches

[Anders]

Which open faced sandwich is your favorite? Salmon or roastbeef or melted cheese? So many varieties to pick from. Good fresh bread is the number one rule.

The best open faced sandwich I've ever had was in a small coffee shop in Halstadt, Austria a couple of years ago. It was a delicious rye bread with some bacon bits and a very pungent melted cheese on it.

Today I got stoned with the last remaining edibles my sister gifted me (the same kind we gave to Paramore) and for dinner we stopped at my favorite hamburger place in town, which is one of the best things to do when I'm that stoned. But this time something was different. This time I couldn't stop fixating on the amount of bread (even though it was the same amount as always). I kept going "this is too much bread... way too much bread." About a quarter of the way through I took the top bun off and ate it like a fucking canapé

Excellent

Add some mashed avocado on top, and we're talking.

OD'ing on bread would be a hell of a way to go.

growing up our neighbors had a boat and would take my dad and I out fishing in the summer..one day we went out to catch walleye and my mom had made us a bunch of opened faced ham and turkey sandwiches..I was probably 10 or 12 and just thought thats how sandwiches were..I played baseball with his kid and he was an umpire during our little league games in the summer..that day on the boat when they saw the sandwiches he asked my dad if we were doing ok financially since there was not 2 pieces of bread..

It’s a good story. And I’m sure it’s true. But it’s a bit odd. Bread is traditionally a lot cheaper than what you put on an open faced sandwich. So two open faced sandwiches is usually more luxurious, than one with double bread.

That does sound delicious.

how could someone make up a story like that? all true..coming from parents who were young during WW2 they kept a lot of the habits like saving your small soaps and making them into one big colorful ball..stuff like that

Anders I'll be honest. I don't like how you're talking to Doug here.

other than the Croque, I'll go with most any diners version of an opened faced turkey and gravy with a side of mashed..

I found a picture of it

If it’s open, it’s not really a sandwich.

[doug rr]

are those ice cubes or pearl onions in the small blue bowl?

I said I’m sure it’s true. And I wasn’t using any irony or sarcasm. I though it was an interesting story. Thank you for sharing.

I’m sorry if it came off that way. Didn’t mean anything negative towards Doug.

It’s Europe so no way it’s ice cubes.
