Well I'd finally recovered from the candied cherries on pizza fiasco and ventured out for a paris baguette sarnie.

Now I'm not an unkind man, I understand Koreans like those gross sweet pickles and didnt mind em in my sarnie, I see them as a security blanket when experimenting with western food, veering so wildly away from the gochu paradise of rice with gochujang, meat with gochujang, veggies with gochujang, noodles with gochujang and lets not forget gochu with gochujang. So sure they're trying different meals but they have something offensive to tastebuds as standard with their meal to remind them of home.

What is unforgiveable however is having a ham and cheese sarnie filled with not mayo but the gooey icing stuff they put on cakes here. I mean COME ON! Sigh, there goes my lunchee.......

One of my students gave me a ham, cheese, pickled green thing and JAM sandwich the other day

Aren't Korean sarnies interesting?

On my list of things to do when I go home for my holiday is to eat a proper cheese and Branston pickle sandwich. Closely followed, by a tuna and cheese melt. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

i, too, was shocked to learn that other cultures prepared food differently than my own.

The Paris Baguette near my school sells these ham and melted cheese sandwiches which look great... except for the mess of ketchup, mayonnaise, peas, corn, and goodness knows what else splattered all over the top. Looks just like someone threw up all over the sandwich.

You know, I have a Paris Baguette on the ground floor of my officetel-hell and I must say, my experience with their, "sarnies" as all you silly people call them have been quite the opposite.

They have a nice chicken breast sandwich on wheat with lettuce, mayo and fresh green and red peppers for about 2,500; chicken salad with jalapenos for a little less and an ever-changing "well-being" veggie sandwich that is alternately on the green-tea, pumpkin, five grain, tofu, barley or wheat bread.

I mean, I know the suckie sarnies are out there, and maybe I'm lucky because I live in Bundang, the well-being capital of the universe, but there is good stuff to be found.

And the girls in the shop have even started texting me daily when the morning-baguettes pop out of the oven!

It's true, but sorry about all that. Back to the OP at hand:

I did once get a jam, ketchup, mayo, sweet-pickle, slice cheese, fake crab strip sandwich from a kid's mom. I have eaten some weird things in my day, but I just couldn't clamp down on that gooey travesty.

I dunno what a sarnie is but anything without mayonaise is a step in the right direction.

[AbbeFaria]

Yeah, I don't know what a sarnie is either, but one time I ate a grilled ham, cheese and strawberry sandwhich. It was appalling and I'm still disgusted about it three months after the fact. What n'hell goes through Korean minds when they do shit like this. Seriously.

British slang for sandwich (just looked it up). That's odd when the British invented the word sandwich! Doesn't Fark.com call it a samwich?

What about those sandwiches that are smothered in this sweet goo that looks like snot?

[VanIslander]

getting excited over a sandwich is just... just... WRONG!

unless it's on a heavy rye, with hungarian salami and swiss cheese and sprouts and hot mustard and..
