Well as long as we’re yucking other people’s yum…
People will mock this and then eat some peanut butter 🤢
Don’t try to normalize this abomination. The preparation is as bad as the ingredients.
If this was prepared properly and with a more sane amount of onion this would be totally fine to me. I like me some raw onions sprinkled over food, adds a little zest. Definitely not a centimeter thick slice tho.
Alright. You got me.
What uhh… Whatcha got against peanut butter?
Brother. Churchill is dead, brother.
This picture disgusts me so much that I desperately wish I could never see it again.
A bowel contraction sandwich. Thick cut. Kills men over 50. I salute you.
that looks amazing, imma make one tonight
But with red onion.
omfg I forgot that I was gonna do this and I didn’t go the the heb
also, red onion is good, yellow onion is good, white onion is good, all different but all good.
Came here to say this!
i’m a liar and I didn’t make the sammich. I forgot this was the plan and I got rum instead.
Understandable. Can’t argue either way. I’m over 50, both choices might kill me and I completely approve.
Europe: “terrorized and colonized the world to get spices” Also Europe: “serves up absolute disgusting food like this”
What the fuck was it all for?!?!
British Empire: Steals all the worlds spices
Also British Empire: Refuses to use any of them
The people who got rich pillaging the world weren’t the ones who ate like this.
UK isn’t Europe it’s just some shitty island
Shitty islands
And yet somehow food is the only place their culture falls behind.
I know what I said.
Different parts of Europe
No, exactly the same parts of Europe. Both the Dutch and the English were know for their spice trade and are known for their awful food. The rest of Europe has better food and terrorized and colonized for other reasons.
That doesn’t contradict what I said. Neither of those are a monolith.
The people doing the colonizing and using the spices and the people eating the bland food were from different parts of their countries.
Enlighten me which part of the Netherlands doesn’t eat bland food ;)
Isn’t alfredo just greasy milk
Actual Alfredo has no dairy added other than cheese
I know, my fiancée makes it at home! I’m just a tomato kinda guy. Your comment and name made me think of greasy milk. I found it really inocuous and just a bit jarring, in a funny way.
Anyways, I retorted like that because I just ate this like a week ago. Ernest Hemingway wrote about it in For Whom the Bells Toll, in 6th grade it entranced me. It’s pretty baller. Bread, cheese and onion.
They understand mexicans and biting into raw onions. If I had a pot of my mother’s beans, I’d be in heaven. Every now and again celebrate where you come from or enjoy simple discomforts. It’s why Islam venerates pilgramages and fasting. Christians, lent. Etc.
Thanks for letting me rant, I’m gonna go buy some beans.
Edit. Am boiling beans
Doesn’t it have cream?
And butter.
They’re doing it for the gains.
No one was putting that much cheese on a ploughman’s during the war.
Onion a little thick but fine I’ll give you that but the cheese??? Good Lord man!
Cheese isn’t even good when it gets that thick. It takes on an unpleasant texture. And in a sandwich like that it would be ruinous to the bread. You would at least have to slice it thinner and layer it.
I dunno… that looks like a nice simple sandwich.
This is at a restaurant. Someone paid money for cheese and raw onion on bread. What are we doing here?
I can’t wait until you find out what wine is.
Probably drinking first and eating secondarily
There’s not enough booze in the world to make me rawdog an onion like this.
Funny. We Iranians almost always eat raw onions alongside food, but everyone in the west seems to hate them unless it’s dripping with 6 liters of frying oil
It really depends. Raw onions are common on hot dogs, burgers, salads, and various other foods.
Wait wait wait wait. You guys put raw onion on hotdogs and burgers? Not fried onions?
I think if you tried the onions we have available to us, you’d understand.
It’s not uncommon for US BBQ to be served with a side of raw sliced white onion.
The older I get the more I desire the raw onion.
I eat them raw as a topping/side, but I like pickled onions best.
raw onions are life.
By the west you mean Americans, the rest of us are fine with raw onion.
American here, my grandmother would eat an onion would cut an onion with a knife like a. Apple and eat the pieces
Americans eat it as a topping on salads, burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches. Not as an entire layer of the sandwich though.
Plenty of Americans like raw onion, myself included.
Probably less alcoholics there, no?
Not with alcohol, just in general
Also you’d be surprised at how many “muslims” drink and fuck and gamble and do any manner of debauchery possible
Raw onion on a deli sandwich is great, but maybe not quite so much…
Vidalia Onion is good this thick, but usually only in a burger. It’s a very sweet variety, though the sweetness and flavor have declined as it’s become more available I feel. At least where I buy them.
This guy knows his onions

It was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
You say that now but that sounds exactly like every fucker I’ve ever heard with a hangover saying “Jaysus, Mary and Joseph and all his carpenter friends I’m never touching a pint again.”
As my father used to say “hunger is good sauce”.
Four pints in and no dinner I’d gobble that down. GOBBLE IT. Best sandwich I’ve ever had at that point I’d wager.
This is the truth.
As my father used to say “hunger is good sauce”.
I went camping with my dad up in Canada in early April. Completely snuggled down in my sleeping bag, hiding from the creeping cold, it was the best sleep I’ve had in my life. That morning I got up and had starbucks instant coffee (no cream or sugar) heated on a pot over the campfire, and a can of Hormel corned beef hash from the same fire. That was the best coffee and best breakfast ever. I’d freeze for a other night to replicate that feeling. I don’t think it comes entirely from misery though, I think it comes from the inability to have anything else. The nearest town was hours away, and so that cheap coffee and canned hash was literally the best food available. There was nothing else to have, so there was nothing else to want.
Pubs aren’t restaurants. If your pub has menus on the table after 7pm it’s not a pub. It might be a bar, depends how much they’re persuading people a pint of shite lager should cost.
How do you feel about gastropubs?
Not normally my thing, but these places need to turn a profit during the less prime time drinking hours. I wish they had a specific bar for cocktails and another bar for beer though, to get the amateurs out the way.
Which bar would get all the amateurs?
Left deliberately vague for comedic effect
A measured response. Personally, I think that a lot of pubs are going to pivot that direction- Gen Z aren’t big drinkers, and if the trend continues they’ll need other sources of revenue than alcohol.
That’s a pub not a restaurant
Is it a place where you can exchange money for food while you sit down at a table? Semantics.
Yes, you’re right. All these words are equal. It’s a pizzaria. A caffeteria maybe. Some might call it a bistro. Or a cafe. Perhaps a coffee shop or a burger joint. Quibbling over distinctions here would be semantics.
Well, yes. If you shop around you are able to find the same kind of food on some place using any one of those names.
It’s almost like these different words to differentiate between the locations that offer varying services, you nonce.
It’s like that was my original point or something you twerp
The fact is that it’s pretty much irrelevant what kind of establishment it is. The point is who the fuck pays for that sandwich. Your insistence on correcting them on something totally irrelevant to the point makes you a twat.
Someone might pay for that sandwich if the primary function of the establishment is the consumption of alcohol (as it is in a pub) and not the serving of quality meals (as it is in a restaurant).
In a pub, especially if it’s the type of place where some real serious drinking occurs, the primary function of the a method of filling a stomach and absorbing alcohol and that sandwich would probably fill the brief.
I’m not saying it looks like a good sandwich, but it’s a practical one. A real sandwich for a real alcoholic. It’s definitely not the type of food you’d expect find in a restaurant. The type of place IS relevant, you chump.
This whole thread feels like that food court argument from Mall Rats, and I’m here for it.
So then replace the word restaurant with pub then, doesn’t change the message.
It’s the same damn thing
There’s only so many words in the English language for “a place you can get a meal at”, you wanna go over em all?
And yes I’ve been to actual midcountry pubs, they’re bars with good dining space usually situated in a village so people can walk there. They often have playgrounds, fuckin, somehow.
Gotta put the kids somewhere
They’re absolutely not. A pub primarily sells beer, salted peanuts, and if they’re feeling fancy, a bread roll with stuff in it. A restaurant sells meals with plates and cutlery and has one or two crap lagers available. A gastropub does food and beer but both are crap and are twice as expensive.
If you’re in an actual real pub, have had a handful of pints, this food is perfect, and ideally costs less than half a pint.
Blah blah blah blah
At the end of the day it’s a BUSINESS with a KITCHEN, a staff, and a dining area. When Americans say “it’s a restaurant” that’s what we mean.
I get the historical context. But you can’t define a pub in a business plan in any way that won’t leave me going “it’s a restaurant”. “It’s a neighborhood social gathering place for people to drink and eat and play!” Yeah I get it bro, it’s a bar.
I know bar owners on both sides of the pond, you won’t fool me. In fact, i kinda hope you try. I was just in Nottingham for two weeks in November. Mfer you don’t go to the Midcountry IN WINTER unless you’re learning something.
Why are you translating into American?
Is a hot dog stand a restaurant?
It’s a business with a kitchen, staff (1 person) and a dining area on occasion (foldable plastic chairs and tables).
That seems like an argument the courts are hearing. How does the legal definition of “restaurant” require “dining space”? Ed: tou seem to have edited since my reply. I say yes, a food truck is a restaurant.
My point is, when Americans colloquially say “restaurant” they mean “any dining establishment”. We can piss and fight over semantics but what yall got are bars across from schools.
Ah, Americans. I see the misunderstanding now.
Imagining what the texture of that would feel like while eating it upsets me.
Not sure about the onion (prefer them pickled myself), but the rest looks fine. It’s a big-ass chunk of (hopefully extra mature) cheddar and some bread and butter. Nowt wrong wi’ that.
To be fair Americans are incapable of eating any food which aren’t the texture of blended babyfood, so them being upset at a little texture in food isn’t really that surprising.
Jesus Christ, shots fired over here
That’s what I was thinking. Fresh onion is a little to crisp. I’d go with pickled onion or maybe a thin layer of diced shallots.
If it’s a nice bread and cheese, it’s fucking amazing with a cup of tea.
Cheese and onion. They go well together.
Looks drier than Ben Shaprio’s wife. Jesus Christ, man… Couldn’t you lube it up with some condiments or something? This criminal act you call a sandwich should come with a choking hazard label.
It is you who do not see…
The onion is the lube, the onion is life.
I’m absolutely going to steal and search for a reason to use that first line
How’s the weather where you are?
Appreciate the attempt but technically in a rainforest
…what’s a desert climate like, tho?
As dry as ben Shapiro’s wife!
Lately? Drier than Ben Shapiro’s wife!
I think they’re trying to catch some shiny Eevee or something.
The concept of putting condiments into sandwiches so that they’re not dry AF hasn’t made it to large parts of Europe.
We use butter. It also helps that our bread isn’t absolutely disgusting.
That fat slice of onion looks brutal af.
You misspelled “delicious.”
No they didn’t.
You must’ve hated spelling bees as a kid
Maybe they did hate spelling ‘bees’, but I bet they loves spelling ‘delicious’!
Beads!?
