I grew up in central Europe and we traditionally ate open-faced sandwiches of artisan bread or bread rolls. You'd top it with some margarine or cream cheese, salami and cold-cuts, thin-sliced cucumbers or radishes, or serve fresh bell peppers on the side. In the US, Subway's deli sandwiches come close, albeit I've found them much heavier, in both the amount of bread, and the sheer quantity of meat.
I too wish that more fast food restaurants served lunch alongside breakfast, instead of exclusively breakfast in the mornings.
- douche 10y agoI wish there were places in the States that made those little sandwiches. Was in Berlin recently, and every corner bakery makes them. Delicious, and super cheap.
- trentmb 10y ago> I wish there were places in the States that made those little sandwiches. Your home? I've found that they can make whatever I want... EDIT: This wasn't a cuckold joke- just a remark that you can to a large degree command your diet
- douche 10y agoHaha, I doubt you're giving me horns Of course when you make it yourself you can do whatever you like (although you lose the economies of scale). Trying to get something on the go in this area pretty much means you're reduced to Dunkin Donuts, Mickey D's, or whatever paltry offerings the gas station Quik-e-mart carries, though.
- trentmb 10y ago> Haha, I doubt you're giving me horns Sorry- a bit sauced. I wasn't!
- Dutchie 10y agoNon-native speaker here. Why could this be understood as a cuckold joke? (My dictionary says this about cuckold: "The husband of an adulteress, often regarded as an object of derision.")
- gjm11 10y agoBecause "Your home? I've found that they can make whatever I want..." suggests that _qhtn is in the habit of getting breakfast at douche's home (and can get "anything I want"!), and that douche doesn't know this.
- jonah 10y agoYou can get Bánh mì in many places in the US which sound similar.
- tluyben2 10y agoInteresting; that does look like a certain type of sandwich popular in the EU. Where does the name come from? I'd personally be looking for something like this; http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5vJPM91yqH4/UYzAqHKG0GI/AAAAAAAACMY/n_I32U2zW_8/s1600/ontbijt+bruin+brood+bruine+boterham+met+kaas.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5vJPM91yqH4/UYzAqHKG0GI/AAAAAAAACM... and that's not that easy to find abroad. Bad cheese or bad bread but usually both unfortunately.
- jonah 10y agoIt's Vietnamese. For what you pictured, just buy some nice cheese and bread and make them and stuff them in a ziploc bag or tupperware.
- eru 10y agoThat bread looks a bit too soft to satisfy a true Central European. Schnitzelbrötchen is also good.
- jeroen 10y agoYes, it's Dutch bread, which is much softer than German bread.
- Cerium 10y agoBagel shops? You will have to choose a shop that cooks the bagels with the desired density. The bagel shop I go to will put whatever combination of eggs, bacon, cold cuts, cream cheese, vegetables, and avocado I ask for.
- tluyben2 10y agoBagels are very far removed from the sort of thing you would get in a typical bakery or sandwich shop here. So much that I could eat a granary sandwich from my local bakery any time, no matter what I ate before, while I can eat a bagel if i'm very hungry and everything else is closed. I tried as my wife loves them but they are not related IMHO besides that they are considered 'bread'.
- cylinder 10y agoMaybe something like this? Opened not long ago in Manhattan: Duran Sandwiches 62 Madison Ave Flatiron New York, NY 10016 (212) 576-1000 http://www.yelp.com/biz/duran-sandwiches-new-york?utm_source=ashare&ref=yelp-android http://www.yelp.com/biz/duran-sandwiches-new-york?utm_source...
- bobwaycott 10y agoThis reminds me of Paris. I'd drink at the local bar until the sun was rising, and have a croque-monsieur before walking back to the apartment for a brief sleep.
- bbcbasic 10y agoNow THAT sounds like the life!
- eru 10y agoTraditionally, you top it with butter, not margarine. Turkish and German breakfasts are pretty awesome. (See http://theheureka.com/how-to-be-german-part-1 http://theheureka.com/how-to-be-german-part-1 for an outsiders comment on German breakfast.) French breakfast is: typically a black coffee and a cigarette. (Add a croissant, if you want to pig out.)
- dragonwriter 10y ago> I too wish that more fast food restaurants served lunch alongside breakfast, Most fast food restaurants serve their normal lunch/dinner menu all day, with restricted breakfast hours. Some also have breakfast all day, but this is notable. (Some don't even have a breakfast menu at all.) The restaurants that have all day breakfast but not all-day lunch/dinner menus tend to be (usually, chain) sit-down restaurants, not fast food (or even fast-casual) restaurants.
- niftich 10y agoMcDonald's does not serve lunch before 11 or 10:30. The rationale used to be that eggs and burgers need different temps on their grill, but now that they serve all-day breakfast I'm not sure what they do. Regardless, mornings are still breakfast-only. Burger King does actually serve lunch at all hours. Wendy's doesn't open until 10, and doesn't have a breakfast menu. Taco Bell does has a separate breakfast menu. Most of their stores now open at 7, and they start serving lunch items at 9. They stop serving breakfast between 9 and 10.
