Normal for me.
My sandwiches consist of 2 ham, 2 turkey, tomato, spinach, hummus, harvartii cheese, slices of roasted red peppers. When I have everything at least. I usually only eat half a sandwich at a time though.

Well, it is, but you have to specify open face.
I think of sandwiches for breakfast, but those are like... breakfast sandwiches. They've got eggs and bacon and stuff on them.
yes.
I've had cheesy garlic bread
I've had grilled cheese
I've never had a piece of toast topped with cheese
yeah true

I think was OP was trying to say is that, in European countries, most of the home breakfasts contain of bread, some sort of spread (butter, cream cheese, etc) and things like, meat, cheese, or Pâté. It doesn't get topped with another piece of bread either.
I don't think the OP is poor, it's just the standard breakfast items in some European countries.

A typical British lunch.
no wonder they hate themselves and everyone else on the planet. Always talking about population control and eroding human rights with their nanny state. Well it's a filly fiddler nanny I'll tell you that much.

how is it greedy or gluttenous to put some lettuce and tomato on a sandwich?
jesus fucking christ these threads are getting old
We also have open faced sandwiches
Yes. This is the only sandwich that we know how to make.
Thank you for posting a picture of Dagwood. Thread was making me lose my mind.

Bleh, salad cream? Brits make fun of Americans for our love of mayo but they literally put this nasty shit on everything.

I'm with this guy. I've never seen a piece of bread with cheese on top and it just being eaten like that. I'm not opposed to the idea as I like bread and cheese makes just about everything taste better, but it isn't something I've seen done before.
Also, as an American, this is what I think of when I think of an open faced sandwich:
They don't have enough food to put on their bread so their sandwiches evolved differently than ours. Hell, they don't even have tops sometimes it seems!

My favorite sandwich. Sad part is I've never attempted it at home. Can they match restaurant quality?

Breaded chicken isn't bread! It's chicken, thus the use of "breaded" as an adjective, not a noun.
KFC calls it a sandwich, it's a sandwich. It doesn't have bread, but a sandwich it remains.

True, and usually it's more than 2-3 toppings.

totally ruins the mouthfeel of a ham and cheese, slapping disgusting tomato and lettuce on it.

Add some cucumber or pepper slices to that cheese bread and it's a basic breakfast. Maybe a slice of ham or salami if you're feeling adventurous. Only here in Finland that bread would be dark rye sort.

In America I'd say a typical deli sandwich comes with at least 7-8 toppings.
- Meat
- 50% chance there's a second meat
- Cheese
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Mayo and/or mustard, often both
- 50% chance there's a second or even third sauce too
- Onions and/or pickles, often both. Maybe even some kind of hot or sweet pepper.
- If you are in California, good chance it comes with sprouts and/or avocado
Don't forget diluting the flavor of the salad cream, whatever heinous spread that is.
I love these type of threads. Their anger & jealousy is so pure.

That's not really true, they are often served with fries, potato chips, or other sides.

10 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT SWEDISH FOOD
Maybe if you guys stopped freeloading you could afford some plates.
Sweden.se said:#4 Räksmörgås and other open sandwiches
When you order a sandwich, don’t be surprised if it involves just a single slice of bread, the typical Swedish smörgås. The Swedish concept of open sandwiches dates back to the 1400s when thick slabs of bread were used as plates. In Sweden, the shrimp sandwich (räksmörgås or räkmacka) remains the option fit for a king. Piled high with a mix of boiled egg slices, lettuce, tomato and cucumber, this seafood snack is often topped with creamy romsås – crème fraîche blended with dill sprigs and roe. Shrimp sandwiches are such an integral part of Swedish culture, they have inspired a popular saying: ‘glida in på en räkmacka’ (literally ‘glide in on a shrimp sandwich,’ but roughly corresponding to the expression ‘get a free ride’, meaning to get an advantage without having done anything to deserve it.
Maybe if you guys stopped freeloading you could afford some plates.

To Americans that isn't a sandwich at all. We might consider that an open-faced sandwich I guess, aka a sandwich that's missing the top piece of bread.

I had one of these from Jason Deli for lunch yesterday. (not my picture)
Love a good Reuben or really any kind of corned beef or pastrami sammich.

Sandwiches are by default a lunch food in the US, and are made big enough to be a meal in and of themselves. A sandwich as a side dish alongside a bowl of cereal here is not something i've ever heard of here. The only way I can imagine that happening is if a college kid were just throwing together whatever food they happened to have on-hand. It just feels like throwing together two ultra-random food items.
"breakfast sandwiches" are typically only seen as fast food breakfast or restaurant brunch items with items like eggs and/or sausage in them.
i guess we do sometimes have high-quality bread and cheese together with no other sandwich fixings but it's like, as an appetizer or a party snack.
and it's so hilarious that everybody is misspelling "Gluttonous" with "gluten" embedded in the word in a thread about bread-related dishes that i almost wonder if it started on purpose.

Except the greatest cheese ever invented and it's named after us.

This thread just keeps getting sadder and sadder. The bread functions as a plate... I'm sorry for making fun OP, I wasn't aware that the bread served a necessary function other than being food.
I mean at home.
I've never seen anyone make a sandwhich and then get a cereal or something like on that picture the OP posted.
Sandwiches to him seem to be very small side dishes.

Lunch is the light meal between breakfast and dinner for Americans. Also sandwiches need meat or they aren't real.

cucumber sandwich and veggie sandwiches are very much real and very much delicious.
Although, i prefer the cucumber sandwich being on a bagel instead of sandwich bread.

Served with sides, sure, but the sandwich isn't the side dish like it is here in Sweden.
Provolone, mozzarella, cheddar, Munster, Gouda, and others aren't cheese? Those are just the standard non-fancy choices.
I love me some Mimolette.
And I wouldn't put butter directly on either of them.
I didn't say I'm happy about calling breaded chicken bread, I just said I'll accept it.
Anybody can call anything a sandwich. Maybe you want to live in that crazy world of sandwich anarchy, but I don't.

Pff, trying to deflect to "America doesn't have real cheese." Nice try.
That "sandwich" is almost as sad as a hotdog from Norway.
