  3. The Naming of the Sandwich • Named for the infamous gambler, John Montague, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich • According to legend, Montague would not leave the gaming tables because he did not want to break his winning streak • He asked that some bread filled with meat be brought to him • The rage for sandwiches begins

  4. The Sandwich Manual • Louis P. De Gouy published Sandwich Manual for Professionals in 1940 • He was a chef at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel • The book describes the assembly of hundreds of sandwiches organized into specific categories

  5. Sandwiches • The unifying theme of a sandwich is that it is a tasty filling served on bread or in a similar wrapper • Styles of sandwiches: • Cold sandwiches • Hot sandwiches, including grilled • Finger and tea sandwiches

  6. Sandwich Elements: Bread • Characteristics of the bread and how they will fit in with the sandwich should be considered • Bread should be firm enough and thick enough to hold the filling but not so thick that the sandwich is too dry to enjoy • Most bread can be sliced in advance as long as they are covered to prevent drying • Some sandwiches call for toasted bread which should be done immediately before assembly

  7. Sandwich Elements: Bread • Bread choices include: • Pullman loaves of white, wheat, or rye • Peasant-style bread such as sourdough, baguettes, and other artisan breads • Flatbreads including foccacia, pita, ciabatta, and lavash • Rolls, including hard, soft, and Kaiser rolls • Wrappers such as crêpes, rice, and egg roll wrappers • Flour and corn tortillas

  8. Sandwich Elements: Spreads • Applied directly to the bread • Acts as barrier to keep bread from getting soggy • Adds moisture • Helps hold sandwich together as it is being held and eaten

  9. Spread options include: Mayonnaise (plain or flavored, such as aïoli or rouille) or creamy salad dressings Plain or compound butters Mustard or ketchup Spreadable cheeses, such as ricotta, cream cheese, or mascarpone Nut butters Tahini, olive, or herb spreads (hummus, tapenade, or pesto, for example) Jellies, jams, compotes, chutneys, or other fruit preserves Mashed avocado or guacamole Oils or vinaigrettes Sandwich Elements: Spreads

  10. Sandwich Elements: Fillings • Fillings are the focus of the sandwich • May be cold or hot • May be substantial or minimal • Should determine how the other elements of the sandwich are selected and prepared
