Asparagus Sandwich (1914) on Sandwiches of History⁣

[@marigoldsthemovie7688]

I would attend the hell out of a Barry-hosted tea party.

[@ajejebrazov2]

My thoughts exactly

[@Jackolas9174]

You just know the tea sandwiches will be amazing

[@WriterSnider]

Pinkies up!

[@matthewlane8955]

SAME

[@michele_michele]

Hahaha

[@1020-k8z]

At this point you have such a repertoire of tea sandwiches, you could have a tea party.

[@dreamsinthree]

Next live event?

[@sharonthegreat5264]

How can he NOT have a tea party??? 🫖 🥪 🍪 🍰 ☕️

[@emperorwang0861]

"Oh, what a lovely tea party." -Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

[@Jabjabs]

The "how delightful" tea party!

[@elbentzo]

I know this will sound weird but hear me out: plus it up with a slice of lemon. Take the rind off and the seeds out, leave just the edible pulp. One small slice will do and I think it'll bring this sandwich to the next level.

[@JohnDrummondVA]

I'm such a one note wonder. So many of these that need a plus up I'm always like "onion!... oh, wait, OK, I can see that. BUT ONION!" XD

[@dbone3356]

Onion is my favourite vegetable that isn't potato, so, I can see that.

[@JohnRNewAccountNumber3]

I mean, at that point just add some lemon juice, capers and some smoked salmon, baby you got a stew going

[@-SarahElizabeth-]

😂

[@asepsisaficionado7376]

Onion improves almost anything.

[@jalontf2]

Evil Sandwiches of History: we're going to plus this up with some raw asparagus

[@perpetualgrimace]

minus it up

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@perpetualgrimace Minus it down.

[@davemanone3661]

My late Aunt Aurora used to put some orange zest in her jars of cured olives, they were delicious!

[@j.miller5565]

This channel needs way more views It’s becoming my favorite channel and has me looking through my old cookbooks to send recipes in and to try myself Again, he should have way more followers and views than he does Get the word out fellow sandwich fans and let’s pump these numbers up for a great guy and channel 🎉

[@eltonwild5648]

Grilled asparagus with aioli maionese would taste so much better. Little olive, salt and pepper on the lettuce leaf

[@Duspende]

Squeeze of lemon in the aioli. Nothing like asparagus with lemon juice!

[@notreyf]

Please come to the UK and throw a huge tea party. I would pay good money to eat some of the delicious tea sandwiches you have made. Washed down with Earl Grey of course old chap.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

I've never heard of "dried cured olives" before. And I've never heard of making asparagus puree or spread. So, this is quite an unusual sandwich to me!

[@piratechef7734]

A tea party with all the tea sandwiches would make a great longer video.

[@LVVMCMLV]

I would've tried slivered almonds

[@stormythelowcountrykitty7147]

I love “spare grass” and olives is the perfect plus up!!!

[@HenryTaiwan]

It didn't sound like it would work at first, but it ended up working. But come to think of it, there is a salad here that is basically blanched asparagus with mayo or salad cream, and maybe sliced eggs on the side. And it's not so bad. I think I'd try it out.

[@doltsbane]

A plus-up for asparagus? Prosciutto!

[@user-rm9zx7ln9i]

Gotta blanch the spare guys, and add some mild-medium chili flake, like allepo or gochugaru to that mayo mixture, maybe a little salt and some citrus juice, switch out the lettuce to a nice big mild herb...perilla/shiso maybe? Now THAT sounds like a tasty tea treat to me.

[@XianHu]

I just watched the piece on you and your book on WGN News. Very nice!

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Right on, thanks!

[@america1st721]

WWI happening in Europe, with no food processor available or mayo. Certainly cooked/steamed homegrown asparagus and homemade mayo and bread. This sandwich would taste different in every household. I would tell you to make from scratch the bread and mayo with asparagus from a farmers market.

[@pammienakh]

Love asparagus sandwiches. I use Labneh ( drained plain yogurt) and a little mayo with tinned asparagus - blended- and use it as a spread. So good.

[@PriscillaLange]

Labneh is a great idea!

[@pammienakh]

@ thx - and healthier too.

[@serisothikos]

It's a beautiful day in that cook-book's neighborhood but I think it would be even moreso with a bit of lemon zest mixed into the puree and perhaps some finely shredded carrot to add a bit of stability.

[@BardovBacchus]

I bet adding the olives chopped into the rest and letting it all fester for a while would improve the flavors {and add some seasoning too}

[@emperorwang0861]

That sandwich was begging for bacon. Or at least diced ham.

[@SerDayne]

This would be elevated to a solid 7 on some Rye toast.

[@conor14100]

Man, I sure would love a triwich right now but I don't how to make one? Perhaps Mr Sandwiches might show me how

[@thomasconnor8448]

Good idea! I had a triwich once and it cured my erectile disfunction AND brought my childhood hamster back from the dead!

[@MrMegaManFan]

I think this could be plussed up even further. It's like a blank canvas to paint on. Cheese? Tomato? Smoked salmon? All of the above? Why not!

[@jmason61]

Asparagus is the unsung hero of vegetables

[@spinni81]

I like asparagus and mayo but asparagus puree doesn't sound very appealing to me.

[@alexanderrow7565]

Mayo always seems to figure heavily in these old sandwich recipes. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, haha.

[@DH-.]

Are there any winter specific sandwiches?... French toast alternative = French onion drowned melted cheese toast. Idk I'm hungry

[@Collin_Calling]

I’d add bacon, definitely smell a pork product of some type. But if meatless: I’d go caramelized onions and/or roasted garlic. Hit it with fresh ground pep and grated parm. (Parm and pep on both)

[@sheryl7837]

Salt and pepper?

[@pl7868]

Great Video Thx for it , I would make that anyday except i'm poor so would keep it down to asparagus an butter , um would look at an olive but probably save it for another day when feeling rich an had a slice of bread to add for a full meal 🙂

[@antoniogiamberardino602]

So did you cook it?

[@juneguts]

seems chill

[@jordy8059]

BUT WE NEED THE SANDWICH PARTY

[@cherylthompsonsmith1733]

I think eating asparagus is like eating twigs. This sandwich fixes that!

[@NeutronDance]

plus it up with smoked salmon

[@frankstrait2179]

Surely I’m not the only one who wants to plus up all the sandwiches with no meat, with meat. This one seems to be begging to be plussed up with some ham or roast beef.

[@idaslapter5987]

Did you cook the asparagus first? or leave it raw?

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Left it raw as the recipe did not say to cook it.

[@omgllamas]

Was canned asparagus available in 1914? I'm guessing it was? Considering how briefly fresh asparagus would have been available. Canned or not, an asparagus sandwich should be plussed up.

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Usually recipes specify canned when they want it.

[@mhartan]

Parmigiano Reggiano shavings.

[@gutwrenchingdeaths]

would you ever try this again but with cooked asparagus? or do you think it wouldn't make a meaningful difference

[@SandwichesofHistory]

I think it would be better but not drastically so.

[@frankmacleod2565]

I'd buy a ticket to Barry's Tea Party any day

[@eddieburrelli]

Did you cook the asparagus?

[@DeborahMaufer]

I'm thinking less mayo, plus some smoked salmon (or thinly sliced chicken breast or ham). I know, I know, protein rule. Still...

[@markiangooley]

Purée asparagus if it’s been canned, maybe…

[@set921]

Wouldn't want to digest that uncooked asparagus.

[@cyrollan]

Did you use the restroom afterwards though?

[@JTMusicbox]

Smart move bringing the brininess!

[@the8ctagon]

Typo on the title card, Baz ("Aspargus").

[@johanvanbeek7138]

Bin it!

[@MarioFaker]

How did your number1 smell afterwards?

[@melissalambert7615]

What! No tea party? All those cute little sandwiches you've been making. So disappointed.

[@AleisterMeowley]

I hate asparagus so this is my absolute nightmare

[@Sheepdoggo98]

Who in the hell put asparagus in a sandwich?

[@saraschneider6781]

That's a lot of mayo. Needs herbs and/or garlic.

[@stephenphill8]

I gave the video a thumbs up, but I would give the sandwich a thumbs down if I could.

[@captainyoni]

Why are the portions so tiny? I understand he's only one man...but sometimes recipes scale up better.

[@hollowcow]

Asparagus, mayo, and dried cured olive? You just killed my wife.

[@daviddelgado6090]

No

[@TuckerSP2011]

Did you cook the asparagus?

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Nope as the recipe didn't say to
