Bacon and Watercress Sandwich (1936) on Sandwiches of History⁣

After yesterday’s Martino/smashburger blow out, I decided to dial it back bit from “the number steps it takes to make the sandwich” perspective. Yet today’s sandwich, the Bacon and Watercress Sandwich from 1936’s 1,001 Sandwiches does not dial it back on flavor. And yes, there is one more ingredient other than bacon and watercress. Is it butter? Tune in to find out!

[@WCBriton]

I remember being very averse to tomatoes as a young child. I remember the day my life changed when I started eating tomatoes. I almost can't eat a sandwich if it lacks a slice of tomato.

[@BELCAN57]

I didn't eat tomatoes until I was about 18 or 19. My then girlfriend made me a tomato salad and I felt obligated to try it. Glad I did.

[@sheryl7837]

Yes, and this time of year here in California is tomato weather. I was just at our favorite farm stand this morning. Yum!

[@BillyKona6676]

I'm approaching my 30's and I still can't stand tomato. I know I'm missing out, but something just hasn't clicked in my mouth yet. I've gotten used to other veggies, but I don't know why tomatoes don't work for me AT ALL. Any tips?

[@authorjack]

​@@BillyKona6676I'd recommend starting with a good BLT. That's what got me over the hump.

[@bradcampbell624]

Sandwich looks great. The allusion to Steve Miller is priceless! Love your stuff Brother!

[@III_SLEEP_III-Daevicus]

Every time I see the daily Sandwiches of History post, I start chanting "BA-RRY! BA-RRY! BA-RRY!"

[@DeborahMaufer]

Sandwiches of History with Maurice! 😉

I want to see the CBT sandwhich.

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

Every time you feature watercress I am reminded of my fave dish at Le Cheval in Oakland. They used to have cubed beef (sauteed beef seasoned with pepper, salt, and other stuff) on a bed of watercress - I should look up a recipe. I bet it would make a great sammich.

[@AndrewKoutroulakis]

Tomato is a good plus up. I'd also add a sliced up hard boiled egg & a smidge of Ranch dressing.

[@sheryl7837]

Perfect plus up!

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Yay, a very accessible and tempting sandwich this time, I'm making this!

[@priestessthea]

This would be right up my street!

[@pacoskid420]

My new favorite channel.

[@beanieduchet2928]

One of my favorites, but butter instead of mayo, never knew how far the recipe went back, thanks for posting!

[@notreyf]

Looks great, going to make it for sure. Thank you.

[@zachbates9115]

You play your music in the sun, and sure don't want to hurt no one

[@scpvrr]

Thanks for the great laugh with the acronym comment!

[@femalism1715]

Add some thinly sliced onions and a slice of old cheddar!

[@arnemartt]

Gotta use the whole loaf

[@jbolty]

Barry seems to have a disproportionate number of bread butts on hand

[@EastSider48215]

The ends of the loaf are my favorite slices - I like the crust of the bread best.

[@SandwichesofHistory]

@@jbolty Um, two per loaf!

[@voryndagoth404]

just found this channel a few days ago when looking for a recipe for a raddish sandwich. the bacon and watercress sandwich looks really good! never had watercress but i just might if it's anything like my preferred sandwich green (arugula)

[@DeborahMaufer]

Bacon and radish could be good... 🤔

[@mercster]

I have this crazy memory from my early childhood, in the early 80s, there was a show on Nickelodeon I think... it might have been Today's Special or something adjacent, but one of the puppet characters and a human were talking about watercress sandwiches. I had no idea what watercress was until much later. I wonder why a goofy kids show was talking about watercress sandwiches, which I think now of as kind of a fancy tea sandwich kind of thing for old ladies. I also wonder how this is in any way apropos of this video, but there ya go.

[@mercster]

Video reported to the authorities for mentioning BWT, you're disgusting!! j/k

[@HP-hu2fw]

Finally found some watercress! Friendship with cress has ended

[@freshproduce4954]

In the Being Scared of Animals community a BWT is a Big Wide Tarantula

[@christinashelby6083]

I like using the heels of the loaf, too, except I always turn mine inside-out - like, if it's a grilled cheese, the outer crust is turned inside so it looks and feels like normal bread on the outside.

[@O2life]

Whenever I use the ends of a loaf for a sandwich, I turn them around so the crust parts are on the inside. You can barely tell it's butts.

[@burtbacarach5034]

You're not fooling anyone you know...🤣

[@O2life]

@@burtbacarach5034 idk, works for me

[@Maj0rB00thr0yd]

Brilliant plus up. I was going to suggest the same. Resulting in the BTW sandwich.

[@ichi_san]

sounds good!

[@larryives4589]

BWT is an acronym for bodyweight. Which would certainly increase if you were to eat bacon sandwiches daily. The sandwich did look delicious though!

[@bamesbameron]

Say no to angry lettuce.

[@mustwereallydothis]

Tomato, salt, and pepper, by my count, are three things.😂

[@frankmacleod2565]

Wow that looks good. I'd hoped you'd add tomato. I gotta try this one.

[@BnaBreaker]

BWT: Barry Wins Today

[@SandwichesofHistory]

I dig it

[@Claytor22]

i get that reference!

[@Werefox32]

What a Joker 😂.. if you know, you know.

[@Aquablecs]

Day 50 of asking Barry to make the sandwich I submitted!~~ Tomato was a great plus up. You continue to inspire me! I think some sliced red onion could be good too to add some more freshness and crunch. Cheers Barry!

[@mask2157]

:53 😂

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

BWT, Big Weiney Tryouts

[@melissalambert7615]

Did see the plus up coming but totally approve. Maybe use nasturtium leaves. Those I have. What did the sandwich say? I hate being the butt of the joke!

[@infoscholar5221]

BWT just means, "But Why, Tho?" so worry not.

[@htimsxam]

Does Barry save the bread heels just for KZbin? Seems like there’s always a few on hand.

[@cherylthompsonsmith1733]

I think he secretly is feeding like 10 people sandwiches and chips every single day. He’s got to have like four fridges for all those condiments…. B and B? Foodtruck? Soup kitchen? Many, many children? One of those.

[@saraschneider6781]

I was thinking tomato and cheese.

[@brandonkellogg1164]

BWT Bends With Tenefits

[@DeborahMaufer]

Oof! 🤪

[@homecentipede]

nailed it

[@frankmacleod2565]

in medical terminology, a BWT is a black & white tushy. Not something you want to contract, trust me

[@Gjants]

You added 3 things, that's exactly 2 more than 1 thing.

[@charles3626]

Should have plussed it up with bacon slices

[@mhartan]

Loved the Joker reference. It may be my imagination, but it seems like you get a lot of butt ends to your sandwiches. Are you using up all the middle slices in your other channels? ( I think someone else had a similar observation.)

[@theofficialczex1708]

Lots of bacon and watercress as of late...

[@AlistairGale]

Hello I’m Hollywood Steve, wait to I tell you about the seed drill

[@jacobuponthestone9093]

I mean with those ingredients how can you go wrong.

[@AlexanderMarkey2004]

Sound

But would you make it again!!!!!

Yes!

HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT BWT ON A FAMILY FRIENDLY CHANNEL! My three year old was nearby and I had to explain BWT to him and now he's in therapy. Filthy, disgusting behavior. I don't have kids and wtf is a bwt?
