A fun thing is that sandwiches in Scandinavia are often open and quite elaborate and decorated. They get eaten with knife and fork. English people looked at me as if I was some weird posh animal when I came to the UK and ate a sandwich like that.
You guys made my Sunday morning. It was not only fun to watch but also made go all aww...
Looking forward to seeing Mark more in the upcoming videos!
Growing up in Scotland, our staple was a "jeely peece" - a sandwich with homemade fruit jelly and (if the monthly rationing still permitted) some butter. Decades later in Canada, why has no-one mentioned sugar sandwiches? The Dutch-Canadian kids in my classes would regularly bring butter-&-white-sugar sandwiches. So it's not only the Brits who erred on the (economically-necessary) side of excessive carbs.
Oh, I'm Dutch and you have reminded me of butter and sugar sandwiches. Also, tomato and sugar open face, eaten with a fork and knife.
Growing up in Scotland I also had the jelly piece for lunch. My Mum was English and she thought it showed the stinginess of the Scottish to not even put butter on the jelly peace! When visiting my English grandparents, they would make the sugar butty (pronounce booty in Lancaster) . Loved the video!
my family always called the really thick sandwiches "Dagwood" from the old Blondie comics
Best uk sandwiches. Ham, cheese and pickle and Bacon with ketchup.
BBQ pulled pork, mild vinegar hot sauce, chopped cabbage on a cheap hamburger bun. Simple and amazingly delicious.
I am not sure you would consider this a sandwich but when I think of something very American that is two pieces of bread
with a filling it would be grilled cheese sandwich. I always had it grilled with butter but some folks in the south where I grew up had theirs with mayonnaise also.
Grill cheese sandwich and tomato soup on a snowy day
I grew up in Southern California in the 1960's and 70's, and never heard of a fluffer nutter until I moved to New England in 2001. It sounded disgusting to an adult, but I am sure I would have loved it as a kid. I have seen jars labeled 'Fluff' in the market here in New England that would have only been labeled "Marshmallow Creme" in California.
That's so interesting! It never occurred to me that it was a regional thing. Thanks for sharing your memories!
@@TrueFoodTV I did run into some very old commercials from the 1960's & 70's on RUclips for Fluff to make the Fluffernutter.. They never ran in California when I was a kid. I would have remembered the catchy jingle. Why does it not surprise me you are married to a Brit? You looked made for each other. Thanks for sharing him with us. I love your vids.
I only learned of it as a young adult. My mother did not feed us sugary foods. Fluff tasted amazing for the first time as an adult! Now I feel the need to go to the store haha
I only know s fluffer as an undesirable profession 🙊
@@TrueFoodTV yeah I've never heard about until just now. As a kid sure. Definitely not now.
This video was awesome! You two have great chemistry. I would enjoy more like this. Perhaps taste testing some dishes and giving reactions across cultures.
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed this. Maybe your comment will convince Mark to come on again!
@@TrueFoodTV Hey Mark, how about episode 3?
My favorite sandwich is a Reuben which is corned beef, mustard, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on rye bread. I don't know if it would be considered an American sandwich, though.
Definitely an American sandwich there are disputed origin stories for it but they all trace back to the US be it Nebraska or New York City.
I always thought Reubens were uniquely Puerto Rican for some reason.
@@randyward2766 no I can’t see that at all; corn beef, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing with Swiss cheese on rye bread. Nothing about that says Puerto Rico.
@@randyward2766 If I had to make a guess, based on ingredients, I'd guess German Jewish. German for the sauerkraut and Jewish for the corned beef. There was a great Jewish deli near where I worked years ago and that's where I first had this sandwich. All this discussion makes me want one 😊😊
In New Zealand I grew up with the best of both worlds; peanut butter and jam sandwiches, and bacon sandwiches for lunch in my school lunch box. I also love chip butties with fresh bread, butter, hot chips and sauce. The butter melts with the heat of the chips. Delicious. Now for lunch most days we have salad sandwiches with cold meat (either sliced ham from the supermarket or meat left over from dinner), lettuce, carrots, cheese, mayo, hummus, beetroot, tomato - all layered between 2 slices of bread. Fantastic.
Great video guys! Being a Brit my favourite sandwich is Cheddar cheese and Branston pickle 🤪
My favorite sandwich is the Turkey Bacon Avocado, with mustard, mayo, lettuce, and banana peppers on a 12" roll. Often called the "California Club" (because anything with avocados is Californian, I guess). The sandwich is meaty, savory, salty, tart from peppers and mustard. Delicious.
I loved this video! You guys are so funny. My wife is from York and I'm from California, so we've had many similar conversations (married 23 years). Of course, I know what a chip butty is!! She loves them, she puts malt vinegar on hers, no brown sauce. Loved the video. FYI - this is only the second video I have ever commented on - I was that entertained!!
When I was a kid, our go-to sandwiches were either grilled cheese, egg salad, or cream cheese & olive sandwiches. But then one day we heard of a toasted sandwich with tomato, asparagus, and mozzarella -- and we never went back. SO GOOD.
You guys are great together - and great slant of the differences!
Jolly smiles and laughs soo much on this video, Lovely!! :)
If you guys like the sweet sandwiches, try the Cuban Elena Ruz - turkey, guava, and cream cheese.
Good one!!!
You guys have great chemistry!
Oh my! This video was so adorable! You guys are so cute together!! ♥️
Fun vid you two! Yay for the British hubby ;)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Never had any other sandwich. I’d like to travel and try authentic food from other countries 🥰
I have a question: aside from all the innuendos....how far back did you have to go to find that Fullham "glory" footage?
😆
We lived in Maine when I was a child. We would stop at a roadside stand and get a lobster poor boy. Just a roll, melted butter and fresh steamed lobster. Regular poor boys are great as well.
Lovely also with iceberg lettuce and a slice of tomato
My Canadian grandmother, who had English parents, used to always make those ham and butter sandwiches when we’d go on picnics. For the longest time I couldn’t figure out why her sandwiches always tasted so good. I always thought it was a Canadian thing. Neat to find out it comes from the UK.
That's amazing!
So, American sandwiches as mentioned here, the BLT and PB&J. Personally, I think you might have missed a few (hundred or more). Think about the area where you live, what about a hoagie, a pork sandwich, the cheesesteak, just for a start. Most big old cities will have a few of their own.
You both are great!! You made me smile.
Aw, thank you!
I loved this video!
I'm an English man living in Tennessee since 2003. Love this video!!!!
Way to go! 🙌🙌
Condiments for sandwiches: Pickle, piccalilli, butter, ketchup, chutney, mustard ( so many varieties), brown sauce, gentlemens relish, chilli jelly, sandwich spread, mayo, salad cream, horseradish, bread sauce and probably more I’ve forgotten
This isn't an established sandwich but my favorite sandwich when I was young was pineapple & mayonnaise on white bread. Delicious. A mixture of saltiness and sweetness.
Whoa! You're blowing my mind! Love salty-sweet combos.
I am sure you are a great person Cat Blue but I feel like protesting your choice of sandwich.
Nope
@@randyward2766 😄 It's not a healthy sandwich but it's delicious!
Two sandwiches I ate as a kid, both on plain old store-bought white bread: (1) a jelly sandwich, no PB, just Welch’s grape jelly; my mom’s cold meatloaf, nothing else, just meatloaf - it sliced like Spam.
I love a good simple Philly cheesesteak, that’s probably my favorite “sandwich”; but I like Cornish pasties better, but what is a pasty considered as?
Ohhhhh... I'm glad you brought up pasties! They may make an appearance on an upcoming UK v US baked goods throwdown.... ;)
@@TrueFoodTV nice!! Can’t weight, I miss the UK when I worked out there!!
Loved a PB&J with (1 chip deep)layer of Ruffles potato chips. Haven’t had one in years. I might need to go to the store 😉
Your husband is such an awesome guy, I hope he comes back for more videos..
Y’all are so cute together! It made my day. 🤗💕
Hehe! So glad you enjoyed our shenanigans.
San Diego County, we eat avocado, bacon (thick), tomato, minimal lettuce on sourdough bread that has been pressed into the fat drippings in the pan where the bacon was cooked! One has to balance the HDL and LDL fats!
My family immigrated from England to Vancouver in the late 50’s. Consequently, I would be fed marmite sandwiches for school lunches in the 60’s to the horrors of my classmates. I can also remember sugar sandwiches. Lol. I still love cheese and Branson pickle sandwiches.
Some NYC favorites: 1 bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel 2 Corned beef and pastrami with cole slaw and Russian dressing on rye 3 Italian Combo hero from a real Italian deli(pork store)
Good video!...I'm down with trying the chip butty, my fav Amer. is grilled cheese...yall so cute!
As an Aussie I'm a big fan of bread on my butter too.
Sandwiches!
I can tell that he is British because he said 'tuna fish' Americans just say tuna
I love HP sauce!! My father came from Scotland and we always had it ni the house.
Is a cream cheese and jelly sandwich a thing?
My mom used to make them for me but I don’t know of anyone else who ate them.
Loved fluffernutter sandwiches!
Short info about sandwich-According to history, the sandwich we know and love today was created in 1762 in England. Most food historians agree that the sandwich is the product of John Montagu, “the 4th Earl of sandwich.” Montagu was known for being a problematic gambler, spending hours upon hours at the card table.
corned beef sandwich for the win! still dont get the "butty" part though...
It's probably short for "buttered roll". In the states butt means arse, in Aust "fluff" is a politer term for fart
The diner club sandwich is also called a triple
decker!
Not a sandwich but I do remember seeing “Poulghman’s” added to many sandwich picked up at the train station. It seems to me a sweet sauce, possibly with a bit of Tamarind.
had first trip to UK and was very surprised at onion sandwiches....never saw these kind anywhere in USA .
Love you both ❤️❤️
We love YOU!
Any deli sandwich. Or battered fish sammie.
1. Pastrami (not or cold but best with both. Heat half the meat)
2. Corned beef Reuben
3. Italian sub with peppers
Or batter Fried cod or whitefish with cheese and tartar sauce (this is also first)
Ohhhhh.... I like your style!
Don't feel bad. I have a passion for sandwiches too. I love them!!
Okay ... now I got to build me a 🥪 Thanks to you two 😄 I like mine with 🥔 chips and ☕ A definite goto that make me 😁 anytime anywhere!
Hopefully he will!! You two are magical together. He makes you smile and laugh more, Nicole. Which is definitely a good thing. I'm not a sandwich person either. Just like you. Sure I like them alright. But rarely eat one. If I do it's almost sure to be a club or a BLT. I like the contrasting ingredients. With the craziest mustard I can get my hands on. I wonder if I can order Piccalilly?? 🤔 I'd love to try it. I think I'm good with the Branston. Mark? Please come back on the channel. For anything. Not just about the UK. You're fantastic in front of the camera. Great video guys. Loved it!! ❤️
The proper coronation chicken has no raisins or sultanas
Your boat race ( london rhyming slang for face) Nicole at some points😂😂😂😂.
I do so ❤ when you speak with a british accent and words.
It is difficult to decide if he anglicised you or you are just one really intelligent lass
Excellent vlog my dear.
❤ from the 🇬🇧-the 🇺🇸
Any sandwich from an American deli is great. Of course the #1 breakfast sandwich is Taylor Ham, egg and cheese. Do you eat tomato sandwiches in the UK?
Mozzarella, tomato and basil on ciabatta. Ciabatta looks very similar to the British rolls you showed. Might be a northeast thing with the prevalence of people with Italian backgrounds here.
Oh, only visually. A bap is soft throughout and never crusty.
The most classic British sandwich is untoasted bread butter and sugar. Your mum would give it to you when you're sick
All time favorite was from a chain of stores in the Seattle area called Hoagies Corner during the 70’s-80’s. It was called of all things a Cheesy British. A hoagie roll with ham, turkey, roast beef, cheddar cheese, and lettuce, onion, pickle, mayo, and mustard. Obviously as we have learned in this video it isn’t authentic British due to the lack of butter….
Such a cute couple!!
The bap looks like a nice hamburger bun. I'm not as familiar with a Kaiser roll. Fun video. 😊
What a fun video!
Thanks so much Ken!!! So glad you enjoyed our larks.
Great video 😀 I love sandwiches. My wife is from South Africa with family in the UK so I have been introduced to things I never thought I would like. Love Branston and Picalilli especially with sausages. Adore HP sauce on steaks and curry anything...yum. Marmite on the other hand , yeah> NO. A favorite sandwich of mine is grilled chicken, smoked salmon, dill havarti cheese, red onion on a croissant. I am staying away from Mayo and going with butter these days, and adding pickles to sandwiches is quite deeelish. Not really sandwiches but sausage rolls and pork pies are 🥇
Your husband should try a good Italian beef sandwich we have here in Chicago. Just the best ever.
What about the Italian Beef sandwich ( Chicago)?
Italian beef sandwich! I think I've got to try this!
I ABSOLUTELY love BLTS. thick bacon and mayo and tomato
How about a pulled pork sandwhich? Or the classic chicken sandwhich with mayo and dill pickle?
I never heard of Peanutbutter & Fluff, so I will need to try that sometime soon :-)
Ham, cheese and chutney on white bread with butter
Always enjoy 💖💖🥰🥰
Fluff as a whole is generally a NewEngland / Northeast thing, Fluffernutters even moreso. Also, the many layered sandwich you're thinking of is probably the Dagwood.
Growing up, our go-to sandwich entity was grilled cheese. Also, my grandparents were fond of cucumber sandwiches. They had a boat, and cucumber sandwiches were always the main part of the picnic lunch.
I was very surprised when the fluffernutter was mentioned. My dad loved them. He was from the New York and Northern New England area. I got a few in my lunches over the years. Like Nicole, I have not fed them to my kids yet. They are a dessert sandwich.
@@vermontmac A dessert sandwich much like peanut butter and honey.
Good video :)
Oh man. Jam sandwich, peanutbutter & fluff, chip butty, that bap with sausages. I think we're building up to the ultimate question here..is a hot dog a sandwich? The answer is obviously yes.
A fish finger sandwich is a top tier dinner
I think the real difference between British and American sandwiches is attitude Americans like to create recipes whereas the britsh tend to think along the lines of if it fits on the bread it's good for a sarnie hence chips or crisps or pot noodle
We call them Dagwood sandwiches. Named after the comic character.
You say you don't like sandwiches for dinner... but I just have to ask: Have you never had a hamburger or hotdogs for dinner? And enjoyed it?
I like the chip butty & bacon butty ideas... but I'd like to combine them with the Canadian poutine... I'd like a sandwich with some bacon and chips and brown gravy (poutine)... and maybe a fried egg and some cheese.
Then it hit me: I've already done elements of this.
One of my favorite sammiches is a fried-egg sammich, which is basically a BLT + egg fried over, medium or hard. I prefer ham instead of bacon and I always add swiss cheese.
The other of those elements I like, which is popular among those of us who've tried it (IYKYK), is a cheeseburger with a layer of french fries (chips) INSIDE the burger.
When you were talking about condiments... it would have helped if you compared those ferments to American stuff. It seems to me those were comparable to sweet pickle relish, which I like to put on my hotdogs. (I wonder if that brown relish was made with beets? It would explain the sweetness AND the color... I think.) BTW, "Piccalilly" reminds me of "Piccadilli" which in turn reminds me of Ghirardelli Square, which... "Mmmm, chocolate."
When you spoke of Coronation salad and Waldorf salad, I'm a little surprised you didn't go down the side-dish salad hole, with our various picnic dishes, like potato salad, macaroni salad, etc. I'm curious what-all the Brits have that are comparable.
AND if you're going to discuss sammiches, the next logical step is the meat-pie. British meat-pies are delectable. I've had them at my local Renn Faire and I'd love to learn how to make and bake them at home. We have pot-pies here in America, but those are much more soupy or stewy in comparison. Meat-pies and meat rolls are (IMO) the original sandwiches. The classic Brit meat-pie deserves at least a mention in this Convo. I'd love to know if the Hubby has a short-list of his favorite meat-pies.
(Just don't let him say that's his pet name for you... or don't let him get away with it, anyway.)
Oh. One last note (since I recently bought some croissants)... I also loves me some croissant sammiches! and I intend to slice a croissant in half, slather it with some mayo and pile on some ham and some swiss cheese and some fresh garden tomato slices and I shall thoroughly enjoy my croissant ham sandwiches. MmmHmmm!
Bon Apetit.
I’ve never had chicken salad but I’ll try that coronation chicken lol
What I want to know is........... is a fully dressed hotdog in a bun considered a sandwich?
Dagwood sandwich! :)
My worlds best sandwich is from Philly. You order it; "A Cheesesteak wit". Pat's King of Steak. I'm born and raised in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY
Wow! I'm from NY and lived several years in Philly. I feel you!
i love the cringe face you make when he describes the chip butty 😂
The Romans had a recipe for hamburger... Which is a sandwich.
We use to put fluff on ice cream
So smart!!!!!
As a Dane we are blessed with great open sandwiches on rye bread (calling it open sandwiches doesn't make any sense). Using double the bread just seems cheapskate. Dense rye bread with lots of toppings is where it's at.
Yes!!
I am definitely a Fluffer-Nutter Nut here, even at 42. They make a great post workout meal! 🏋️ 😉
Fluffernutter nuts in the house! 🙌
OMG yous are so great. Love seeing Mark in front of the camera. :-)
Finally!!! After all these years!
Hi Nicole,
I enjoyed this thank you to your husband.
thick bacon or cheese and tomato sauce
picalilly = mustard + sugar
Good looking chap
Very interesting discussion. The ULTIMATE sandwich to me is a BLT!
There’s another interesting pronunciation difference that I keep noticing throughout this. She says SAM-wich. Is that a regional thing in the US? Because I’m from the Chicago area and I pronounce it SAND-wich.
And of course my favorite iconic American sandwich has got to be a Reuben.
I promise I'm saying sandwich. I do NOT say Sam-wich! 😆 (I love a good Reuben too!)
I grew up in Louisiana and we saw sandwich.
I’ve heard some British say “samwich” too! (I say sandwich though). So both m and n are heard on both sides of the pond.
US sandwiches all the way. UK sandwiches are snacks by comparison. Keep in mind that American sandwiches have evolved over the past 60 years I've been alive. They used to be much simpler, but as we've become (1) more affluent, (2) more urban, and (3) more mobile sandwiches have become meals.
I am American and I have never heard of curry chicken salad in my life.
These British sandwiches all sound nutritionally unbalanced.
Yeah ... unlike that fluffernutter thing, which is a paragon of health ...
hahaha... both of these comments are so great!
I love sandwiches, but I hate curry, so the Coronation chicken sandwich is one I would never try. My favorite sandwich…. anyone I don’t have to make!! Lol! Anyone ever have a Wawa hoagie? I miss those. Can’t get them on the island I’m currently living on.
