Emmy, what Chef Pepin forgot to mention is that Chef Beard would often put his platter of onion sandwiches (wrapped in cling film) in the fridge, so that the flavours would permeate the mayo and bread. This makes for a milder, more palatable dainty sandwich. And I have been eating them for almost 50 years. LOVE your channel!
I started caramelizing my onions in the oven a few yrs ago for thanksgiving & omg what a game changer!! I'm not tied to the stove stirring a pan nonstop while I have 800 other things to do. I put them in the oven & stir every once in a while & they are absolute PERFECTION!!
Chef Pepin is incredibly kind. Toured the French Culinary Institute as a kid. He gave me a student's beautiful chocolate cake as a gift, then turned to the student and said, "Don't worry. You get an A."
I adore cucumber sandwhiches - cream cheese, mayo, cucumbers sliced thin and sweated, salt pepper, some soft white bread, fresh dill, maybe some chives. So so good. I might have to try these!
My favorite Jacques Pepin episodes are him cooking with his daughter. She didn’t inherit his cooking skills, but the love and fun vibe between them is charming.
Deep fried Uncrustables are even more better than good when they are dipped in a waffle batter before frying them and then dusted with powdered sugar but while good I still like “Campfire Pies” better
Just a suggestion, when I was a kid I actually used to do cream cheese and jelly and it was pretty good so if you don’t like peanut butter maybe substitute something else like cream cheese or a different spread or nut/seed butter.
I went to France as a teenager early 80’s and was invited to a lunch at a beautiful old stone farm house. The host pulled radishes out of the ground cleaned them well, then put them out for us as a pre dinner appetizer, with a crock of fresh churned butter and a dish of sea salt. Changed my life.
Something about these sandwiches is so beautiful to me not just how they look but the way the humble ingredients assembled into something so aestheticly pleasing and delicious is like magic.
I know those are delicious! Try the onion sandwich with thin chive cream cheese, add a pinch of salt to the onion, a little ground pepper. Everything else is the same, only cheese around the edges. Very good !
EMMY. This is almost (minus the mayo) exactly the kind of sandwich my mother's been enjoying for lunch since as far back as I can remember: butter, raw onion and/or radish, salt. I texted this to her and she felt so seen. I propose we change the name of these to Mom Lunch.
Miss Emmy, I don't know if you're aware of this but onion sandwiches are very big in Italian/Italian American culture! My great grandfather, grandpa, and daddy love an onion sandwich! Not just because it's delicious (you do have to like onions but that's obvious) it's beyond easy to whip up and it's a great meal maker during the summer months. We don't use red onions though, only sweet one's and with Irish butter and italian dressing. I know it sounds weird, but it's an Italian essential 🇮🇹 🇺🇸
Bahahaha! Emmy, I knew you would love the onion sandwich! I mean, seriously….brioche, vidalia onion, mayo, perfection! I did watch Jacque’s radish sandwich but haven’t tried it yet. You are the cutest!
I grew up loving radish sandwiches! And I am constantly amazed that nobody knows about them...I have told so many people about them...white bread, butter, radish, salt...perfection!
My mom and I used to eat onion sandwiches, but with mustard. Sounds harsh, and maybe for some, but we loved it. I may have to add the mayo and parsley with it. I haven't had an onion sandwich in a LONG time!
Now that sounds good. I can see the onions, mustard, and vinegar all having their own bite and it working together. Thank you for sharing that, I'm gonna try it.
This was like my go to poverty snack as a kid! Just a mayo and onion sandwich. I always thought it was so odd and strange and never told anyone about it 🤣
@@telebubba5527 It was typically when we just didn't have any food. But we always had cheap white bread, some mayo, and at least a few onions laying around.
Heck, sometimes we just had mayo sandwiches, or butter and white sugar sandwiches, and we loved em. We were too young to know it was "poverty food!" Simpler times 😊
A special thanks to you Emmy for sharing these two very simple pleasures. I have multiple diagnoses and I'm very restricted to what I can safely eat.I'm always walking the tightrope with my diet. These are elegant, but inexpensive, simple to make and very satisfying. ❤😊
A tomato and onion sandwich with mayo is one of my go to light lunch meals. Raw onion should be used more, their harshness can be toned down a lot with some fat and proper seasoning.
I watched the Jacques Pepin video when it came out and I made the Onion Sandwich myself last week. I enjoyed it. I will use chives instead of parsley next time. I cut the onion slices too thick. Will cut them thinner next time. I will be making this sandwich again in the near future.
Radish sandwiches ARE lovely, but there was a chef in Seattle who used to serve them open faced on baguette slices, using Jacques Pepin's additions of unsalted butter and a sprinkling of kosher salt. Then, as a final touch, he added a drizzle of truffle oil. This last detail is what knocked it out of the park. People were swooning after eating these.
Those actually sound interesting.... darn you, now I want to experiment with a bunch of ideas that just popped into my head.... your fault lol.... ham (real, not lunch meat) and peanut butter go well together, especially on flour tortillas, and I'll bet cooked would be good too....
Much love to you and your mother! So wholesome how your old memories as a kid watching the old masters of TV cooking show inspires you! These things should not be lost ever!
This is exactly why I watch your videos. When I was younger all we had was PBS for a while, and I as a young child would be very eager for the cartoons, but whenever Bob Ross or Jacques Pepin came on the TV, I was immediately entranced
@@telebubba5527 hehe yes I meant red onion! My fingers worked faster than my brain. Another recommendation I saw was people add a thin slice of apple to this sandwich..
Onion sandwich - I do the same thing except add a slice of bologna and omit the parsley. I learned about this sandwich back in the late 70's by watching "Sanford and Son", for real. Eating radishes with butter is a great lunch, just dip the radish in butter. Oh, with a little salt. I was told this is popular in southern France. It's a great snack as well... Finally, make bread pudding with the left over brioche bread....
I just Adore Jacques Pepin, I love the way he speaks & his collabs with Julia Child are Classic Also, watch out with Radishes, the ones we grow always end up Super Spicy 🧅🍅
The very first time I had an onion sandwich It was because I was dirt poor and had no other food literally. And I was so happy that it was delicious! I didn't have the parsley but I did have a good loaf of white bread some mayonnaise some salt and pepper and you not have an onion right now or I'd be eating an onion sandwich with you
💛...the truly sweet onions (vidalias, sweet d's, walla wallas) have such a short season, but are worth waiting for, for the best sandos... also, i use watercress, minced, instead of parsley, for more flavor...
i love the french breakfast radishes when you can find them at the farmer's market, they're slightly longer than those round regular radishes and a bit less peppery. i loved having them for breakfast on a baguette with butter and salt, green onions and some peas but putting it in a sandwich is such a great idea
Hi Emmy! I love your videos - this one isn't something i'd try LOL but - I wanted to let you know that there was a very high pitch ringing in the background of your recording - it made it a bit hard to get through. Hopefully something easy to fix!
I have a cousin who loves onions. Dried, fried, pickled, salted, squeezed, boiled, raw, stewed, blanched, vine roasted in olive oil, sou vide, confit, with dressing, on burgers, you name it. BUT…..when he eats them, the fam knows to steer clear of him for a day or two. I think when he wants to be left alone, he indulges. Great, now he has an onion sandwich recipe to try. Thanks Emmy.
My mom used to always talk about her father eating an onion sandwich, and I always had questions that remained unanswered. This helped a bit, thank you
My grandma used to make radish sandwiches when I was a kid. I thought they were gross until I actually tried one. I think she used pumpernickel bread, butter, radishes and extra sharp white cheddar.
I grew up eating onion sandwiches and I've certainly eaten plenty of them with mayonnaise (we were poor so we ate what was available at any given time) and they are tasty but I must say I strongly prefer them with butter. I also add a little sprinkle of salt, especially if I'm using unsalted butter, and that's it. Very simple but also very delicious.
I watched Julia, Jacques, Martin Yan and Jeff Smith with my dad every Saturday after pre-10am cartoons from earliest memories. Such good memories, they started me on my foodie path too! Thanks for sharing these sandwich recipes, look forward to trying them soon. I love something simple and delicious like this.
My Nana (she was born in 1920) eat those all the time except she would make it “fancy” from time to time and put paper thin slices of cheddar cheese and mustard in the onion and the “fancy” for the radish was extra salt and pepper. She enjoyed them so much I started eating them at 4 and I still do. I’m so happy you made these they are great
They remind me of the beet green sandwiches I would eat with my grandma while visiting in the summertime. We would eat onion sandwiches and many different vegetable sandwiches while at my uncles farm. I always loved them.
When I was ten years old (what seams like a very long time ago) I would make a onion sandwich like this (just we didn't have fresh parsley) and my family always thought I was odd. Thank you Emmy I will have to share this video with them with a resounding "SEE, I was ahead of my time in the culinary world" lol
i’ve been having at lease 2 of the radish sandwiches a week for 3 months since i saw the pepin video. I don’t bother with cutting the bread and i just put the chives (fresh or dried, or if i’m out, some garlic powder) on the inside. i don’t bother with the vegetable peeler but i do like to slice it fairly thin. simple, quick, and pretty filling. I like to use a somewhat thick, soft white bread
First I can’t wait to make the radish sandwich for my daughter , she loves radishes and my grandmother use to eat peanut butter and sweet onion sandwiches as a treat. I’ve never tried I may now. Thank you Emmy .
We used to eat radish sandwiches all the time. Fresh baked bread, sliced radishes with salt. I never used the butter, I liked it better without. Love them!
Thank you for describing how old things taste not just giving your opinion. If I can make a request, can you do a video of a tomato pie? I recently heard about this and I want to know how it taste. I heard it has mayonnaise and it has to go in the oven, it just does not sound appetizing.
Here all this time I thought I was alone in my onion sandwich-ness. Except I use mustard because mayonnaise is revolting 😂. I've eaten onion mustard sammiches since I was knee high to a grasshopper 😂😂😂
I can see using this technique to make cucumber sandwiches (my favorite), mixing the parsley with a touch of dill weed. Tomato sandwiches with parsley mixed with some fresh minced basil. It's a nice reminder that not everything has to be complex.
One of the many recipes I see and think, "but...why?" lol. You probably did right by choosing a Vidalia - they tend to be milder, sweeter, less "hot". My southern grandmother's family always ate fresh sliced onion with fried fish, which I thought was bizarre until I tried it. I generally dislike mayo - even hated it with a passion as a child (we were a Miracle Whip family) - but picked up some tiny packs of Sir Kensington's at a salvage grocery, and it was actually delicious. I've heard of radish + butter, and my northern grandmother always used butter (well, "oleo") as a spread on every sandwich, so the radish sandwich doesn't sound as odd to me, but still nothing I have any interest in trying lol. I have a complicated relationship with radishes: mild ones are excellent, but the batches I find for sell are so unpredictable, with some super "hot" and some almost flavorless. Therefore, I just avoid them.
4:58 I am in houston, and I use only Kewpie. Like Duke’s, it is eggier, but far more tasty than Duke’s. I also make my egg salad and tuna/egg salad with extra yolks.😋😋😋❤️🔥 7:51 While participating in study abroad, in Bourges, France, I learned of the Frenchies’ love of radishes scraped through good butter, and sprinkled with salt. The sammich is an easier vessel for consuming the same!🤗a watermelon radish would be even prettier.🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💋❤️🔥
When i was young my Auntie used to make cream cheese and pickled onion sandwiches which were delicious... i must try it again along with yours ..! they look great. Emma uk x
This is the first time I've seen some one else make a radish sandwich. As a kid, I made a bunch of these types of sandwiches as an excuse to eat butter.
I have those memories, too!!! Of watching nothing but Julia Child, Jacques Pépin, Ming Tsai and America's Test Kitchen on Saturday afternoons (and probably nothing but Shaw Bros Kung-Fu movies after church on Sunday afternoons haha)
Soft white bread, peanut butter (crunchy or smooth, both are great), and thick slices of hot, crispy bacon. At least 4 slices of bacon, but measure with your heart. Smash together and get it in your mouth. SO GOOD
This, to me, seems like it should be in Hard Rimes Recipes series. My grandpa used to eat a similar sandwich and talked about it being a staple lunch or dinner when he was a kid during the depression.
I used to watch the same Saturday PBS line-up, Jacque Pepin, This Old House, etc. I remember Jacque doing this. I liked it when daughter Claudine joined him.
Emmy, that onion sandwich must be GOOD. Doing the same with a thick slice of tomato has to be really good, too. I've seen Jaques' radish and cheese which is to make a generous slot into a whole radish, stick a slice of cheese and sprinkle a little bit of coarse salt and eat it as is. I have to try the radish sandwich. That looks very good. BUT, in Japan they sell tiny tiny tiny radishes!!!
These sandwiches remind me of a simple "fancy" sandwich that used to appear at potlucks in my childhood: asparagus horns. Flatten slices of crustless white sandwich bread with a rolling pin, then spread with either cream cheese or room temp butter. place 1-2 spears of CANNED asparagus (drained and blotted dry) and roll into a horn shape withe the tops poking out the open end. There's just something about the combination of textures that works really well, and they look like lillies on the plate! I'm sure this is probably from some magazine from the 50's or 60's. I've tried to make a fancy version with cream cheese and fresh blanched asparagus on black bread: it's good, but not the same.
I think I want to try the radish sandwich with a big Korean mu radish. It's like a fat daikon, with similar flavor, for those who've never cooked with them. I'm sure I can find one just the right size for round bread.
When I was in europe and broke, it was easy to get cheap white bread and inexpensive butter--so we often had butter and onion sandwiches. Over time, we got more used to raw onion and the slices got thicker!
Ive been making that onion sandwich in secret for years now! In secret because a sandwich of nothing but onion and mayo seemed to reflect my onion and mayo addiction more than anything else, especially when it’s so simple (making me feel lazy). Turns out it was a classic gourmet sandwich the whole time!
I feel like your subscribers and other people that will enjoy your content are going to enjoy anything you choose to try. If YOU want to try it or do it, we'll enjoy it. 🥰 Well, ok, I can't speak for everyone, but I watch your videos because I like you, not because I want to make the recipe. I would love to try all of the new international foods, but that won't be happening, so I enjoy it through your joy and genuine appreciation for life. 🥰
Onion sandwiches are a staple of mine! I loved it since the early 70's! Mayo, good white bread, and a thick slice of onion, nothing else, Spanish onion is my favorite!
Our family loves onions. Grilled, saute, caramelized, raw. The only time we don't like them is when they are old. Then all they are good for is soups or stews.
Emmy, what Chef Pepin forgot to mention is that Chef Beard would often put his platter of onion sandwiches (wrapped in cling film) in the fridge, so that the flavours would permeate the mayo and bread. This makes for a milder, more palatable dainty sandwich. And I have been eating them for almost 50 years. LOVE your channel!
I mean this in the best possible way. You’re like the Bob Ross of cooking. It’s just about the joy of cooking. Love you
Thank you. Bob Ross was a childhood favorite. 🧡🧡🧡
Omg I just said this! I didn’t see your comment first I swear 😂. She IS!
ikr, same immaculate vibe
My kids call Bob Ross the original asmr and I this is my asmr
@@amandasabo139 same!
I love onions. I make raw onion sandwiches occasionally but, I make caramelized onion sandwiches quite often.
That sounds delicious!
Same here! ❤
@@sharileesprowls6215 They are so easy to make too. The only condiment I add is mayonnaise.

Cooking With Claudine!
Yes Emmy, please do a deep fried uncrustable episode!!!!
Homemade + deep fried plz
Emmy did a hobo pie episode a few years back. Those were the original uncrustable. Worth checking out.
Deep fried Uncrustables are even more better than good when they are dipped in a waffle batter before frying them and then dusted with powdered sugar but while good I still like “Campfire Pies” better
Just a suggestion, when I was a kid I actually used to do cream cheese and jelly and it was pretty good so if you don’t like peanut butter maybe substitute something else like cream cheese or a different spread or nut/seed butter.
Peanut butter and honey sandwich. We were kids and the jelly was all gone so we experimented with another sweet and honey tasted so good with it.
My mom is German and grew up eating butter and radish sandwiches! I loved picking fresh radish from our garden and making these sandwiches with her ❤️
Is it a German thing? Maybe that's why I ate them as a child. I just love them!
I went to France as a teenager early 80’s and was invited to a lunch at a beautiful old stone farm house. The host pulled radishes out of the ground cleaned them well, then put them out for us as a pre dinner appetizer, with a crock of fresh churned butter and a dish of sea salt. Changed my life.
Something about these sandwiches is so beautiful to me not just how they look but the way the humble ingredients assembled into something so aestheticly pleasing and delicious is like magic.

As someone that cannot eat raw onions I always get amazed when I see people eating them. An onion sandwich?? Wow
I feel that way about cooked onions 🤢 But raw... yum
Fat goes a long way in cutting that acidic/sulfuric flavor.
I grew up eating onion and mustard sandwiches. I loved them. I can't eat raw onion anymore, though, and I miss it.
Because they disagree with you, or you don't like the taste? Have you ever tried a Vidalia onion?
It's a texture and taste sort of thing @@americanmade6996

Try using Daikon Radish. Its more flavorful and less sharp.

One of my fave sandwiches as a child (and still) is the onion sandwich with a slice of tomato, preferably still warm from the garden!
I grew up eating onion sandwiches and I've certainly eaten plenty of them with mayonnaise (we were poor so we ate what was available at any given time) and they are tasty but I must say I strongly prefer them with butter.

Toasted white bread, thick slice of Spanish onion, peanut butter. *chef's kiss*
People who criticize this have never been starving... I made this sandwich 🥪 when I had no real food left in my home and was quite grateful for it!
I love onions and this sounds amazing to me!
That is exactly how i learned to cook. Plus joy of cooking. Jacque's series is comprhensive.

We used to eat radish sandwiches all the time. Fresh baked bread, sliced radishes with salt. I never used the butter, I liked it better without. Love them!
I don't begrudge anyone's personal taste in food, but I loathe raw onion sooo much just the sight of her biting into that sent a shiver down my spine.
Thank you for describing how old things taste not just giving your opinion. If I can make a request, can you do a video of a tomato pie? I recently heard about this and I want to know how it taste. I heard it has mayonnaise and it has to go in the oven, it just does not sound appetizing.
Here all this time I thought I was alone in my onion sandwich-ness. Except I use mustard because mayonnaise is revolting 😂. I've eaten onion mustard sammiches since I was knee high to a grasshopper 😂😂😂
I can see using this technique to make cucumber sandwiches (my favorite), mixing the parsley with a touch of dill weed. Tomato sandwiches with parsley mixed with some fresh minced basil. It's a nice reminder that not everything has to be complex.
One of the many recipes I see and think, "but...why?" lol. You probably did right by choosing a Vidalia - they tend to be milder, sweeter, less "hot". My southern grandmother's family always ate fresh sliced onion with fried fish, which I thought was bizarre until I tried it. I generally dislike mayo - even hated it with a passion as a child (we were a Miracle Whip family) - but picked up some tiny packs of Sir Kensington's at a salvage grocery, and it was actually delicious.
I've heard of radish + butter, and my northern grandmother always used butter (well, "oleo") as a spread on every sandwich, so the radish sandwich doesn't sound as odd to me, but still nothing I have any interest in trying lol. I have a complicated relationship with radishes: mild ones are excellent, but the batches I find for sell are so unpredictable, with some super "hot" and some almost flavorless. Therefore, I just avoid them.
4:58 I am in houston, and I use only Kewpie. Like Duke’s, it is eggier, but far more tasty than Duke’s. I also make my egg salad and tuna/egg salad with extra yolks.😋😋😋❤️🔥 7:51 While participating in study abroad, in Bourges, France, I learned of the Frenchies’ love of radishes scraped through good butter, and sprinkled with salt. The sammich is an easier vessel for consuming the same!🤗a watermelon radish would be even prettier.🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💋❤️🔥
This is insane. I'd have to try this. I love onions but never heard of doing them this way.
The radish sandwich sounds so tasty 😮❤
Thanks for this video, Emmy. You are always a delight! I will try all your suggestions for tea, cucumber, radish and onion. Yum!
When i was young my Auntie used to make cream cheese and pickled onion sandwiches which were delicious... i must try it again along with yours ..! they look great. Emma uk x
This is the first time I've seen some one else make a radish sandwich. As a kid, I made a bunch of these types of sandwiches as an excuse to eat butter.
I have those memories, too!!! Of watching nothing but Julia Child, Jacques Pépin, Ming Tsai and America's Test Kitchen on Saturday afternoons (and probably nothing but Shaw Bros Kung-Fu movies after church on Sunday afternoons haha)
Soft white bread, peanut butter (crunchy or smooth, both are great), and thick slices of hot, crispy bacon. At least 4 slices of bacon, but measure with your heart. Smash together and get it in your mouth. SO GOOD
Girl I watched all the PBS cooking shows with my mom too. I miss her so much.
This, to me, seems like it should be in Hard Rimes Recipes series. My grandpa used to eat a similar sandwich and talked about it being a staple lunch or dinner when he was a kid during the depression.
I used to watch the same Saturday PBS line-up, Jacque Pepin, This Old House, etc. I remember Jacque doing this. I liked it when daughter Claudine joined him.
If you do the deep fried uncrustables, you should also do the French toast version too!
Add French's Mustard! Eat your onion sandwich with a bowl of bean soup. Yum!
Emmy, that onion sandwich must be GOOD. Doing the same with a thick slice of tomato has to be really good, too. I've seen Jaques' radish and cheese which is to make a generous slot into a whole radish, stick a slice of cheese and sprinkle a little bit of coarse salt and eat it as is. I have to try the radish sandwich. That looks very good. BUT, in Japan they sell tiny tiny tiny radishes!!!
These sandwiches remind me of a simple "fancy" sandwich that used to appear at potlucks in my childhood: asparagus horns. Flatten slices of crustless white sandwich bread with a rolling pin, then spread with either cream cheese or room temp butter. place 1-2 spears of CANNED asparagus (drained and blotted dry) and roll into a horn shape withe the tops poking out the open end. There's just something about the combination of textures that works really well, and they look like lillies on the plate! I'm sure this is probably from some magazine from the 50's or 60's. I've tried to make a fancy version with cream cheese and fresh blanched asparagus on black bread: it's good, but not the same.
I think I want to try the radish sandwich with a big Korean mu radish. It's like a fat daikon, with similar flavor, for those who've never cooked with them. I'm sure I can find one just the right size for round bread.
My grandmother used to eat radishes with bread and butter when she was a little girl, she said it was one of her favorite things.
When I was in europe and broke, it was easy to get cheap white bread and inexpensive butter--so we often had butter and onion sandwiches. Over time, we got more used to raw onion and the slices got thicker!
My uncle and grandmother ate onion sandwiches. Instead of mayonnaise they use butter.
Ive been making that onion sandwich in secret for years now! In secret because a sandwich of nothing but onion and mayo seemed to reflect my onion and mayo addiction more than anything else, especially when it’s so simple (making me feel lazy). Turns out it was a classic gourmet sandwich the whole time!
Pepin is a Icon,I don't think I've heard anything about him a simple family man who was a world class cook, no one can do omellets like him.
You look especially pretty today Miss Emmy. I saw the Jacques pepin video of this
sandwich before. Now I really want to try them!
That you grew up watching Jacques Pepin explains much! There is a definite similarity in vibe.
My grandma said when she was a kids (she was born in the 1940’s) that she often ate peanut butter, mayo, pickle sandwich! Might be something to try
I love radish sandwiches with many of the different radishes from my garden.
Allegedly, that's how The Onion newsletter got its name.
Those simple little sandwiches look so delicious!
I feel like your subscribers and other people that will enjoy your content are going to enjoy anything you choose to try. If YOU want to try it or do it, we'll enjoy it. 🥰
Well, ok, I can't speak for everyone, but I watch your videos because I like you, not because I want to make the recipe.
I would love to try all of the new international foods, but that won't be happening, so I enjoy it through your joy and genuine appreciation for life. 🥰
Onion sandwiches are a staple of mine! I loved it since the early 70's! Mayo, good white bread, and a thick slice of onion, nothing else, Spanish onion is my favorite!
Both of the sandwiches are full of both flavor and texture contrasts.
Our family loves onions. Grilled, saute, caramelized, raw. The only time we don't like them is when they are old. Then all they are good for is soups or stews.
