This weekend’s creations. Neither are “Sando”
For lunch on Saturday I made a sandwich with “Italian meats” hard and Genoa salami, super thin ham. With a garlic mayo, oregano, olive oil, red pepper flakes and a tiny bit of horseradish. Lettuce, tomatoes and super sharp provolone. Spicy pickles on the side
For dinner tonight (because my six year old wanted chicken sandwiches) I made a double breaded (wet as dry covered) chicken. Chipotle mayo and garlic parm aioli, lettuce and pickles. On a buttered pretzel bun.
I don’t know where else to say this, but maybe this community can understand:
I find the argument of Sando incredibly annoying. I know it can be a Japanese sandwich (style) and we also have people using it as a slang for sandwich. I just don’t get it. I’ve never met a person on the street reference a sandwich that way? Neither have I walked into a restaurant with the word anywhere.
The word isn’t any faster than saying sandwich. Both two syllables. Which was the cool reason to shorten words during the 90s “tude” era. It’s also not any faster typing? I type in “sand” and it’s the next suggested word. Sometimes even after just “san” it’s suggested. Still 4-5 presses.
Anyway, just a PSA. No time savings, describes a completely different sandwich AND you sound douchey using it.
I’ve also doomed my post now. And everyone will call them Sandos. (I couldn’t even type that word without m autocorrect going insane, another reason!) 😂
