There's enough fat and flavor in the ham and cheese without the need to try and introduce more by battering and frying the entire sandwich, lardass.

While I would agree that it's not the best soundwich, it's still bretty gud. Maybe you should stop eating one from Montana and get one from a place that has a cuban community.

Reuben is number one GOAT sammich, although a stellar Philly or Cuban can also be a number one in my book.

On the other hand, I'd say BLT is the king when it comes to everyday sandwiches. Simple and perfectly balanced, and it's literally impossible to fuck up. Add a little turkey or chicken, grab a bag of chips, and you've got yourself a meal.

White bread, sliced, no crust, traditionally cut in triangles the way lord Sandwich wanted them. A fucking bun is not a sandwich no matter what you put in it. Be less historically ignorant, americans.

>implying the word sandwich has evolved outside the concept of the classical sandwich
While sometimes used alegorically in material science, in a food contect a sandwich is a sandwich. Relabeling hamburgers as a type of sandwich is a marketing ploy by fast food chains to healthwash a product label sullied by health concerns and low social status by conflating it with a traditional middle class snack usualy seen as less greasy and more healthy.
Try not to fall for it, americans.
>inb4 layer cakes are now cream sandwiches
>>
>>7605533
So you are gonna say a pulled pork sandwich or cuban sandwich, or reuben, or any kind of sub is not a sandwich even though literally everyone uses the english language as such?
just because you have some stick up your ass about burgers, something no one even refers to as sandwiches?

Nah it's banh mi

Looking at all these sandwiches there is only one taste palette and thats fat and salty and heavy tasting

Banh mi combines that with the sweetness and saltiness of carrots, crispness of cucumbers and freshness of cilantro

Its just a perfect combination of texture (the chewy crispness of the bread, with the butteryness of pate/ham and crispness of vegetables) and flavors which all these sandwiches lack

You mean the rotten pickled taste that masks the natural, superior taste of those vegetables.
