Sandwiches so what are they ?

sandwich is a food typically consisting of vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread, or more generally any dish wherein bread serves as a container or wrapper for another food type. … The sandwich is named after its supposed inventor, John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich.

What is Sandwiches definition or Meaning ?

A sandwich may be many different things to different people – it can be a delicious bit of nonsense, that makes you ask for more!  It can be prim and proper and just a bit stodgy – or staunch and hearty – or it might just be an empty promise!!!!

It is difficult to actually pin point when the sandwich actually appeared as a form of food presentation. We do know that the concept of wrapping bread around a filling for portability is ancient. It parallels the invention of bread. The sandwich involves bread in one way or the other. There is a universal chain of food items worldwide which all have a connection of a filling enclosed in a starchy casing. In China there is the Spring roll or the Egg roll; in Italy there is the Calzone; in Mexico, the Burrito; in Spain, the Empanada, Greece has the Pita and we have the Vada Pao !!!!.

Field workers in France have long had the custom of eating meat enclosed in two slices of bread. In southern France, it is customary to provide those setting out on a long journey with slices of cooked meat, sandwiched between two slices of bread. The Pain–Bagnat of Nice is a definite example of a sandwich that has been around for centuries.

The term SANDWICH came into being about 200 years ago. There lived a notorious gambler in the court of George III  His name was John Montague, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792). The Earls gambling affliction was such, that he would enter into 24 hours marathons at the gaming tables. Any eating that had to be done had to be quick and not to detract from the task at hand. The Earl’s butler, who knew his master’s intensity, would place pieces of bread with cheese or meat for his sustenance. The rest is …..Well, not just history…..but the history of the Sandwich. Today, it is difficult to imagine a full-scale food service operation without the sandwich being a part of it.

Are sandwiches healthy for you ?

Sandwiches can make for a pretty quick and easy meal. They may even seem healthy. But, according to a study done by researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, sandwiches might not be that healthy a choice after all.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the most popular sandwiches in America are burgers and sandwiches made up of cold cuts and poultry. Generally, these types of sandwiches aren’t really very healthy because they are high in calories, sodium, fat, and sugar.

So do you have to give up sandwiches entirely if you want to be healthy? Of course not! Here are some tips also included in pdf to be able to have your sandwich and eat it too on a more healthy basis:

  1. Try choosing fresh slices of meat instead of preserved cold cuts. This will cut down on the amount of fats and sodium in your meal.
  2. Try not to add too much cheese, dressings or spreads to your sandwich
  3. Bump up the amount of fruits or vegetables in the sandwich. This will cut back on the calories and add more fiber and nutrients to your sandwich and your diet.
  4. Try to avoid white breads, as these break down into simple sugars when they are digested. Consider making your sandwich on whole wheat bread next time.

sandwich is a food typically consisting of vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread, or more generally any dish wherein bread serves as a container or wrapper for another food type. The sandwich is the stalwart staple of the American lunch.


The First ‘Sandwiches’

The 1st Century B.C. Jewish Rabbi Hillel the Elder is reported to have started the Passover tradition of putting lamb, mixed nuts and herbs between two pieces of unleavened bread. In the Middle Ages, people used thick slices of stale bread called ‘trenchers’ to double as plates on which they placed cooked meats and vegetables, a kind of ‘open sandwich’, although they probably did not eat the stale bread. The Dutch also have a long tradition of serving bread & butter with meat or fish or other delicious fillings & toppings.


Parts of Sandwich

The four parts of a sandwich can be listed as:

  • Bread
  • Spread
  • Filling
  • Garnish

Bread

Sandwich Recipe (How to make Sandwich)

Various types of bread can be used to make sandwiches. The type of bread has a dramatic effect on the finished fare. The quality of the bread also has a great impact on the quality and taste of the final product.
Sandwich bread (also referred to as sandwich loaf) is the bread that is prepared specifically to be used for the preparation of sandwiches.

Types of Sandwich Bread

Sandwich breads are produced in many varieties, such as white, whole wheat, sourdough, rye, multigrain and others. Sandwich bread may be formulated to slice easily, cleanly or uniformly, and may have a fine crumb (the soft, inner part of bread) and a light texture.

Let’s look at some types of bread used in sandwiches:

Rye Bread

When the Dutch and English settled in what would become the United States, they introduced rye to the region. Bakers combine rye with wheat flour to make rye bread. There are a number of rye bread types available in the grocery store, such as Jewish rye, Russian rye and marbled rye.

Sourdough

A sandwich with a burger patty filling, named The Frisco Burger, got its name from its sourdough, which is associated with San Francisco. Reports say Egyptians discovered the process of making sourdough bread. Sourdough comes from the starter, which comes from a previous batch of bread. Starter dough originated over a century earlier. Sourdough is not like white bread, which is fluffy and soft, rather sourdough is a firm, chewy and crusty bread.

Focaccia Bread

Focaccia is an ancient flatbread. Previously the bread was unleavened, but today bakers add a leavening ingredient to the dough, such as yeast. Bakers enrich the bread dough with cheeses and herbs, to give focaccia bread a distinct flavor and texture. The focaccia becomes a dominate taste factor in a sandwich in comparison to other bread, such as plain white or wheat bread.

Pita

The round and flat pita is a type of unleavened bread popular in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Once split in half, the soft and mildly flavored bread reveals a pocket that can hold a variety of meat fillings, vegetables, and sauces.

White Bread or Whole Wheat Bread

White bread or whole wheat bread typically refers to breads entirely made from wheat flour. This is widely available and commonly used bread for sandwiches.

Brown Bread

Brown bread is a designation often given to breads made with significant amounts of whole grain flour, usually wheat, and sometimes dark-colored ingredients such as molasses or coffee. It is also a commonly used sandwiches bread.

Selection of Bread

The breads used for making sandwiches must be chosen carefully.

  • Always select fresh bread that has a close smooth crumb and good flavor and moistness.
  • The bread should be capable of being picked up without bending or losing the filling.
  • Bread should be around 12 hours old when making sandwiches otherwise it will be too soft.
  • 3/8 “to 5/8” is the thickness range most commonly used for sandwiches.

Storage And Handling Of Bread

  • Purchase only the amount of bread that can be used in one day.
  • If excess bread is purchased, old and new supplies should be separated each day. Old bread should be set aside for toasting and grilling.
  • Store soft crusted bread in its original wrapper to protect against odor absorption, moisture loss or excessive dampness.
  • Hard-crusted breads may be stored without wraps in the area which has free air circulation. These breads have a shorter storage life.
  • Refrigerating bread makes it stale. If it is to be kept for more than one day it should be frozen.
  • Bread is best stored at room temperature at 68-80 °F, away from heat.

Spread

sandwiches pdf
SANDWICHES PDF

A sandwich spread is a spreadable condiment used in a sandwich, in addition to more solid ingredients.

Function

The main function of the spread is to hold the filling and the bread together. It also forms a protective layer on the bread and prevents it from getting soggy from the moisture in the filling. Moreover, it adds to the taste of the sandwich and in the case of children, contributes to the nutritive value.

Some of the spreads are:

  • Plain and compound butter like anchovy, herb, parsley butter
  • Mayonnaise and its derivatives
  • Low fat spreads like margarine
  • Cheese spreads and cheese paste
  • A combination of the above.

Storage And Handling

Many sandwich spreads can be at risk of spoiling quickly, which should be completely avoided.

Spreads such as peanut butter and jam can last for up to a year after they’ve been opened, but oxygen can go a long way in spoiling them earlier than expected so keeping bottle tightly closed will protect it from early spoiling.
Spreads should be stored under refrigeration to inhibit microbial growth. Mayonnaise if commercially procured should be refrigerated on
opening the bottle. Cross-contamination should be avoided while using the spread as it makes spreads more prone to spoil early.

Filling

Parts of Sandwiches 3

It could be a variety of limitless items. The filling gives the sandwich its name.

Fillings could include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, vegetables. Salami, cooked roast chicken, ox tongue, sliced cucumber and tomato are all popular fillings.

Garnish of Sandwich

Parts of Sandwiches 4

To enhance the appearance and the presentation of the sandwich, it is necessary to create eye appeal. The garnish is not absolutely essential and can be avoided in an informal setting. The garnish should be delicate and dainty and not cumbersome and ugly.

How to Garnish Sandwiches

For a natural or healthy look to sandwiches, we can use Use green garnishes. Lettuce, parsley, spinach, and arugula are the common option of adding greens to sandwiches. Garnish a platter with asparagus, celery or sliced cucumber to give guests the option of an extra crunch to go along with their sandwich. Pickles and olives have strong flavors but fit well with any deli-meat sandwich platter.

We can garnish a sandwich platter with red foods to enhance taste and appearance. Using cherry or grape tomatoes, radishes or beets to add color to any sandwich platter is a great option.

Adding yellow foods to a sandwich platter give it a bright look. Yellow cheeses will go well and match perfectly with meat sandwiches. We can use lemon rind or egg yolk to give some color to a green garnish.


The sandwich is without a doubt a favorite lunchtime food. For the typical customer, one who is hungry and in a hurry, the sandwich is the ideal food; quickly made and served, convenient and adaptable to many variations, that it satisfies nearly every palate and nutrition requirement. Sandwiches have long been the domain of the pantry department, along with salads and other cold dishes. Preparing sandwiches to order is one of the fundamental skills required in modern food service.
